Openmoko: SHR status review

Not long ago, the first images of the SHR were hitting the road. They still say it's in alpha, but I was curious enough for taking the risk. And here is my report.

New issues found:

  • #7 The top bar and the icons in the home application are to small. You need a stylus to handle it.
  • #5 Some application listed in the home application are missing icons.
  • #1 The application for sending sms's is in place, but can't send sms's. It will never complain that something failed, but the receiver will never get the sms.
  • #27 I couldn't put SHR into some sort of silent mode, so it only vibrates when there is a sms or phone call.
  • #28 SHR doesn't include fixes for the echo that people are experiencing when calling to a FreeRunner.
  • #29 It always suspend 1 second after screen blank, even when you change the settings.
