Thoughts on A910
I really like my A910, I use it everyday and I believe it is a great phone - especially for it's low price (used devices, but hey, that does not really matter). Since the WiFi is working, it's even better.

All this little stuff - a very personal roundup
Though there is more “little stuff” available in this world, I just want to talk about the different kinds of mobile devices—PDA(-Phone)s, MIDs, UMPCs, Netbooks—to name them (you may think I forgot about smartphones, but the internet experience on non-touchscreen devices is (or at least should be) much different from the others).

GUIs on phones and PCs ... next step?
As some of my regular readers might have already realized, I want to use a mobile phone like a PC, I want to have it as a smaller PC to have a PC everywhere—that's why I am quite happy with my HTC Universal, thanks to its keyboard (though the next device does not have to have a keyboard, if it is able to use a bluetooth keyboard, but that's another cup of tea) it is quite like a PC.

Still alive ;)
I am still alive. I am preparing an article on how I think graphical user interfaces on (small ~3”) mobile devices should look like for about two weeks now and i am unable to get it ready, as there are innovations every day—and interesting news like OpenMokos' April Software Update, which change some things around concerning existing solutions.

HTC Universal on Debian with X
My Universal is on Debian Lenny / Titchy Mobile again and it is working great (of course), even X is working. Debian is a nice distribution, and I really like it, since I first tried it. But there was one thing I did not like since that first time: relatively old packages—I prefer to be relatively near to bleeding edge, if there is a new release, I want to try it out soon.

Time as a problem
My HTC Universal runs with Angstrom again, after a short look at Debian (Titchy Mobile), which I'll use again as soon as there is a working X-Server—because htcunid is a great daemon; phone calls and even GPRS connection are no problem—I tried to integrate it into my Angstrom minimalist GPE image (autobuild unstable), but wasn't successful yet: I didn't notice phone calls, the caller could not hear me and SMS receiving did not work as on debian as well.
