http://www.fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/ has several kernel patches relevant to the 770 (although not so much cx3110x). I think https://garage.maemo.org/projects/kernels/ was supposed to collect all the community kernel patches in general, but I don't see anything there at the moment.

On cx3110x specifically you may also want to include (it'd be nice if someone did) the patch from bug 2504.

That's in my opinion a mistake.
Most of the people (at least in Europe) has a single SIM card associated to a voice+data plan, and it would be *really* annoying to switch it between phone and NIT.

Maybe I'm behind the curve here, but the lack of qtopia seems like a glaring omission. Is it DOA or still coming?

This is good to know. I hope Nokia can keep fixing critical/security bugs in maemo4 for another 12-18 months, ensuring that a user who just uses the core functionalities (i.e. without using the extras and other repositories) can have a secure and smooth experience. This is the way to show that Nokia is responsible to its customers, and it should not be a big burden for Nokia considering that there are not many packages in the core of maemo4 (i.e. without anything in the extras repository).

I'd like to emphasize the importance of fixing security issues in maemo4. Someone mentioned before that it's OK not to update maemo4 because if it works when you purchase it, it will always work. This is not true, because the device will interact with the potentially untrusted parties in the network. If a security bug is discovered in MicroB or Telepathy, an attacker can craft special packets/web pages to compromise the device, which would not happen when you purchased the device and the bug was not known yet.

More like dancing around somewhere way out in left field. Qtopia? I'm gonna assume your confusing it with Qt, which is available in Extras. . . .

I don't get it:
Having only one SIM is the best reason why you wouldn't want to have this one SIM within your tablet rather than within your phone. Even if the future tablet had voice call capability: It'd be too big and clumsy to replace a phone. Also, the touch screen is not exactly what I'd be looking for in a phone...

Adopting that tone really does nothing to attract people to help out in the community. Just my 2c.

What tone? There was a tone?

It is just impossible to shake these trolls. Please, seriously, find something better to do with your time.

Oh, this time there's a tone. Can you tell the difference? :rolleyes:

Just look again at GeneralAntilles face when you think he is being grumpy. How could anyone with a beatific smile like that have a tone?
