I really really hope that I'll see released or at least announced for a release soon (this year!) a Maemo device with phone capabilities...

I would LOVE for Nokia to step up and provide me with that device. An N97 that was the size of an N810 (4.1" screen with 800x480), running Maemo, fully functional as a phone (voice, SMS, MMS) in addition to 3G data, and Dalvik runtime, would be ideal (esp. with some form of video out, charge via usb client, plus a separate usb port for host+otg). If ofono gets us closer to that reality, I'm all for it.

I haven't got any direct evidence for that, but I've tried to list the indirect evidence for a Maemo phone in a post on another thread:

If it doesn't have Dalvik, it'll make a long hard decision process for me.
If it does halve Dalvik, it'll be a no brainer: I'll buy it the day it comes to the US (with or without T-Mobile-USA 3G).

Please keep this thread on topic around oFono. There are already many threads open about idle speculation and you can even start new ones if you wish. Thanks!

Grabbed the souce and had a quick look around. There are two drivers at the moment: phonet and atmodem.
Phonet is just a skeleton with no useful code at the moment, but its presence confirms that it is/will be relevant to maemo. Atmodem is more fleshed out and contains some explicit checks for TI Calypso chips which suggests that (somewhat ironically) a Neo1973 or Freerunner might make a good ofono hacking platform.
BTW, tt's not documented in README/HACKING, but in order to run ofonod you'll need to modify the system dbus security policy to allow it to connect (see src/ofono.conf).

The latest Communicator, the E90, was the first to use the standard S60 interface instead of Series 80, which meant it both gained and lost fans (depending on whether you preferred S60 or Series 80).
I wonder if we might one day see a Maemo-based device using the Communicator brand? It would certainly make sense as Maemo seems to be closer to the spirit of the Communicators than S60 is.
And Communicators aren't a Symbian-only range, they originally ran a totally different OS called GEOS, which was first released on desktop computers.
(Incidentally the PC/Communicator GEOS is nothing to do with the 8-bit GEOS though they were made by the same company apparently.)

The Phone Network protocol (PhoNet) is a packet-oriented communication protocol developped by Nokia for use with its modems.
This is required for Maemo to use cellular data connectivity (if supported). It can also be used to control Nokia phones from a Linux computer, although AT commands may be easier to use.

I'm really holding my purchase right now for a new cell upgrade as i still use an old Nokia 6020 and love my N810 though i came to the conclusion that my pocket has only space for 1 device and that the phone is going to be it, unfortunately...
