What distro do you use? I'm still using 2007.2, having tried Debian, SHR and H:1, and 2008.8.

I'm running Qt Extended Improved (based on 4.4.3, with bug fixes) and I'm
happy, I've been using QtE for the last 6 months or more and (with the echo
canceling fix and upgrading the Calypso firmware to moko9) it works nicely
as a phone.

I'm still running with a 2.6.24 kernel as that is very reliable for
suspend/resume, but I need to change it every other day with just
occasional calls.

I use mostly Om2008.12 with my own tweaks (something along the lines of what Kustomizer http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kustomizer brings along) to a quite ok success. Only the slowness of the Qtopia apps is really annoying.

I'm now dual-booting Om2008.12 and Debian, with interest to moving to Debian completely. It needs some heavy customization still, but with a bit more proper SMS software I could already move.

The nice thing is that I've a separate data partition on my 8GB MicroSD card, so that I can access eg. OpenStreetMap data and music files from either distribution via TangoGPS and player software.
