Should I install froyo or gingerbread? And what can I do with them? I don't expect a lot and at the moment I'm going to install one of them "just because". I'd just like to hear of some neat stuff you can do with it.

Many games work, most apps work. Google Talk, Skype, music, video etc all work.

If that is the case then I may install Android and have some fun!

Yes the 3g connection works very well and strangely enough the connection hardly drops compared to Maemo even when you are forcing 3g as the default connection in Maemo and it seems some what quicker in Android/Gingerbread, That is really weird

Clean up partition, install Gingerbread from here:

(using http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/ ).
- Got root access
sudo gainroot - Mounted Nitdroid partition on Maemo
mount /mmcblk0p5 /and - Removed mido kernel deb package (but I think it is equal to your kernel)
- Moved current installation to other directory (it is unnecessary to delete it and with a minor patch to multiboot script it is possible to boot from a subdirectory)
cd /and
mkdir ginger-mido
mv * ginger-mido/ - Installed classic Gingerbread version:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d gingerbread.tar.bz2
bzip2 -d gingerbread_update1.tar.bz2
bzip2 -d gingerbread_update2.tar.bz2
bzip2 -d gingerbread_superuser.tar.bz2
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread.tar
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_update1.tar
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_update2.tar
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread_superuser.tar
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
mv /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06_old
cp zImage /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06
umount /and - Rebooted to enter Nitdroid
It is still not working but now behavior is different:
- NIT sees channels from 1 to 11, but it not sees channels beyond 11.
Of course I have activated 13 and 14 channels mode on android - Some APs are still not seen (I have tried only 2 o 3 channels and I don't tell precisely if there are channels not seen in the range 1-11)
- Nit passes auth process with my router but then it disconnect during retrieve ip process (mido's version took ip correctly even only on channel 1)
Unfortunately now I don't have other time to experiment and I have come back to maemo

the only difference in the kernel package that i repacked it with the latest kernel from e-yes instead od the old one
u can go to /boot and see the size of the kernel and u will find it the same as the latest one e-yes released with app on sd card support
but the old one was smaller

No way.
No way to hold/release wakelocks from shell script in android.

When wifi is enabled the whole phone responds slowly. Are there still issues which have to be solved for it?
Regarding the strace issue which solved means that maybe we ve got less random reboots?
