I assume you're using market enabler, then? I've gotten paid apps to come up with it, but I haven't actually pulled the trigger on any of them yet, so I don't know how well it handles it. (Still too unstable for me to be putting money into the app side of things, I guess. Or I'm just too cheap, too.)

Second, and most problematic, none of the buttons worked except the call button. When I called voicemail from Android I couldn't hang up. I couldn't access the menu by pressing the top left button, and I couldn't hit the back button to return anywhere. For instance, in calendar, when I drilled down to a day, I was pretty much stuck there. I could press the power button to return to the desktop though.

All in all, a very promising development, and I have HIGH hopes that one day I can flash a full ROM with only Android to my TP.
There's something that can happen during boot -- if you don't touch the DPad at all in WinMo, maybe, or if you touch it at exactly the right moment during the linux boot -- that causes it not to work. I don't know if this is the problem you were having, but a reboot (being careful not to touch the pad while booting) usually fixed that one.

This prevents from even getting to the Market because I can't sign into Google for the Set Up. I'd really like to get this to work..
Maybe it's something on the other side of the wireless config? Is your network assigning it an address? I can't recall a non-terminal way to check the status of the wireless link. If you managed to find a terminal app apk, you can try ifconfig to see whether the tiwlan0 device is actually getting an ip address... and then try pinging things on your local network, or check to make sure the routing is correct. Sorry I can't be more clear on that, but linux networking is not my strong point.
