Settingsgui bug
I added your repository (it took four tries because it's very poorly documented that the file name in /etc/ipkg/ has to end in ".conf"!), ran ipkg update, and installed settingsgui. This didn't seem to create any way to RUN it from the screen (perhaps you have to reboot? I wasn't willing to do that, seemed too much like Microsoft. My old Zaurus was able to install apps without rebooting.)
So I ran it from a shell with DISPLAY set. It ran and was able to control the screen brightness. But when dealing with GSM, it said on the terminal:
Executes subprocess [/usr/bin/libgsmd-tool -m shell] libgsmd-tool: <# # Power-On> libgsmd-tool: <# Register> libgsmd-tool: <EVENT: Netreg searching for network > Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 460, in __bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/SettingsGUI/ProcessInterface.py", line 131, in run event[1](line) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/SettingsGUI/GSMPanel.py", line 112, in network_registration_changed location_area = line.split(" ")[7] IndexError: list index out of range
I don't know why. I was able to manually (with atcmd mode) get my SIM to register, make calls (no audio), and send an SMS. FYI.
Addendum: I tried the last settings page (GPRS), which won't work with T-Mobile Prepaid sim. But when I clicked "Connect", it failed without any error message. In this case I don't even think the GSM modem is connected to T-Mobile yet...perhaps better error reporting here would be good.
