Hi,

after messing up too much and, as I wrote, having severely
misconfigured Illume, after remembering that it's Linux, I opted to
delete the .e, .gconf and similar directories, then reboot.
This gave me back Paroli, but now I can chose "Illume" in the "display"
profile option all day long, and don't ever get back Illume. Another
reboot fixed this.

It also happens w/o several suspend-resume cycles. Will investigate
further and hopefully submit a bug report next time.
I've now done some tests with a SIM card (T-Mobile), too:
* I have trouble answering the calls. Placing calls is easy, though.
* On SMS reception, the screen looks rather garbled (imho). Going to
 Paroli's home screen and to the messages from there is my current
 workaround.
* The "Enter PIN" dialogue should be optional. I'd like to bypass this
 and be able to activate the SIM card sometime later.
* The phonebook ("People") is quite unwieldy, but that has already been
 noted by someone else.
* Now with the card activated, the phone feels quite a bit more
 sluggish than before.
* I need to get the buzz fix. ;}
Wishlist: Being able to update to Om2009 final w/o re-flashing.
I'm not overly comfortable writing to the mailing list this way, but
don't have a better idea, yet.
Kind regards,
