persiaStevenK: Apropos to the discussion in -devel, there was some talk last night (involving Whoopie and slytherin) about advantages of updating to the 4.x stack for BlueZ.  Do you have an opinion on that?08:30
StevenKpersia: Yes. 4.x is not stable, and FF is very close. :-)08:32
persiaStevenK: That was my feeling.  I'm glad to hear it confirmed.08:32

futharthis question may sound stipid :) but is it posible to install the ubuntu mobile on a smart phone?15:06
persiafuthar: Only if the smart phone is implemented wth Ubuntu Mobile compatible hardware.  As far as I know, only the Sharp D4 meets that criteria now, and I suspect that significant post-installation customisation is required for an ideal arrangement.15:09
persiaThat said, I wouldn't install Ubuntu Mobile on something I intended to use as a phone, as I don't believe the applications to handle telephony are currently mature enough (most apps seem to concentrate on VoIP, rather than on VoGSM or the like)15:10
futharthe phone i want to install ubuntu mobile is lilbit old so it looks like the phone is un ubuntu compatible :) but i can always try :D15:12
futharis there a list of the compatible smart phones15:14
persiaThere isn't.  I keep meaning to add a testing section to the wiki, but have so far failed to do so.15:15
persiaBasically, you need one with an lpia processor (Intel A100, A110, or Atom).15:15
persiaBeyond that the requirements are usually met (or at least I've not yet seen such a device with reported specs that couldn't run Ubuntu Moblie, albeit perhaps with some post-install tweaking)15:16
futharhmmmmmm15:16
futharmy phone uses Symbian OS v7.0, UIQ v2.0 UI but i dont know what kind of processor it has 15:17
persiafuthar: Which phone?15:17
* persia suspects ARM, but may be mistaken15:18

futharbut i have a nokia 9300 too15:19
suihkulokkifirst you need to get linux kernel booted on it, then you can start thinking about distributions such ubuntu..15:20
futharyou are right 15:21
persiafuthar: P900 is ARM9@156MHz (not sure which flavour), and 9300 is OMAP 1510 @ 150 MHZ.  Even if you got a kernel booting, I'd recommend something more lightweight for those devices.15:23
futharsuch as?15:40
persiafuthar: I ran a QTopia environment on a 200MHz XScale for a while, but that was years ago, so I'm not sure that there isn't something better for smaller/older devices now (and no, I don't have any good suggestions).15:49
futharpersia: sorry just this last stupid question: the max memory storage of the phone is software or hardware limit?15:55
persiafuthar: Both.  For most phones currently available, it's more likely to be HW, as most of the software stacks will allow 4G, but hardware rarely allows more than 1 or 2.16:00
