ok, tested out the new Alpha Froyo build on the RAPH 500; works pretty good (considering how preliminary a build it is). Boots, runs. makes and receives calls better than any build I have run so far. Data is pretty flaky (no surprise; it's apparently flaky for GSM users as well) and GPS is pretty much a no-go. Lots of semi-broken features, like Bluetooth times out when initialized, wireless dhcp is broken (works with static assignments, though it just hung at the scanning stage when I tried it).

It's definitely worth trying. I booted it as a clean install as well, so I would imagine 800 users will be in good shape. If the bugs can get ironed out of this and we can add the camera in, we may well be ready for a Rom soon.

I can't speak to battery life until I get a new battery. This one is terrible even in winmo, only netting me a handful of hours no matter what I do.

~edit: if you do try it, make sure and use Makkonen's startup file. Not sure if the one included in the package will work or not, but I *know* his does.

~edit 2: It appears flaky data was resolved after adding the generic APN (per the first page of this forum) AND rebooting. Data works great now on Froyo!!
