There is plenty of interest. On-list discussion would be welcomed by
me, as would a presentation.<br>
<br>
My cell phone contract expires in September, and I had been hoping to
sign up with one of the new cellular carriers like Globalive (now Wind
Mobile). Sadly, it seems they've been litigated into next year by
Telus, and won't be accepting subscribers for months yet. I want to
run OpenMoko on a phone I choose, but it seems Wind will be bundling
their services with their own phones. It may be a technical limitation
-- they're using LTE, which current cell phone radios may not support.
Still, I'm hoping for open phone OSes to appear with the new carriers,
without requiring jailbreaking or other roundabout techniques.<br>

I just picked up a new phone, HTC Touch Diamond, to replace my old one.<br>
Unfortunately it runs Windows Mobile, but I picked this model because
it's<br>
supposed to mostly work with Android, and maybe even OpenMoko. I<br>
don't think they have APT, but it'll be cool to see what the userspace
on<br>
the phone is like. I'll be installing the new OS on my phone in another<br>
couple of days, so I'll make sure to report back.<br>

I saw that some people were able to boot the HTC Diamond in Android,<br>
but can't boot directly (needs a WinCE program to boot Linux). Also not<br>
everything was working at the time I checked.<br>
<br>
Seems that this warrants a show and tell session at one of the KWLUG <br>
meetings. Otherwise, if there is no interest, I would be interested in
your<br>
progress via email (off list).<br>
