[edit] GSM 850 Field Test Results

TEST HAS STARTED (in transit to Toronto)

As many of you are aware the GTA01's GSM 850 is non-functional at this time. This test was designed by many in the Openmoko community (thanks to Michael Shiloh) to rectify the situation. A GTA01 was modified and is being shipped around North America and the results will be posted here as they are gathered.

I've created a native openmoko gui application to display the gsm and gps information and log to a file.
