I tried SHR too. That original 2007.2 distro that it shipped with was almost usable as a phone before OM released the much worse one.

Interesting to hear, I never managed to get anything like that many hours out of mine - as I say I never managed a full day because it wouldn't wake from sleep to ring. And I spent a LOT of time trying to eliminate the echo but never quite managed it (though I think it might have been gone in qtmoko, it's been a long time so hard to remember exactly).

Still I'm glad to hear that it was usable for someone, I guess.

I wish. But my experience with the pinephone was somehow even worse.

Yeah, Om2008 was a disaster. I liked Om2007.2 as a user, but as a developer I can see why it was abandoned. Eventually it was FSO what made the phone actually solid and with proper foundations. If your device shipped with 2007.2 still, it must have been one of the earliest ones, so you've got the whole set of hardware bugs that were fixed in later batches (but so did I).

Still, Freerunner, while usable, required plenty of patience. My current experiences with Librem 5 are so much better - but whenever I play with a PinePhone it does somewhat remind me of my old Freerunner (which still works, BTW!).
