Bi-weekly OpenMoko community update

Sat Oct 13 18:17:38 CEST 2007

Hello Michael,
it would be nice to have some info about this white screen of death
plus vibrator which is affecting some people. Especially if that
is a hardware or software problem. It's pretty annoying and generally
happens if you want to show someone the phone :-( I cannot remember
any official statement on this issue - which is kind of sad.
Thanks,
Jan
