Freerunner vs E6

[puppetshow]

Ok, so I decided to write short review about freerunner (gta 06) I had for few weeks.

First, I must say I am really, really disappointed. Compared to e6, freerunner is - overall - crap. Ok, it has better screen, wifi and gps, but wifi often Just Don't Work, and it doesn't have edge (only gprs).
But ok, never mind internet - the main problem with freerunner is it's SPEED. Or rather, total lack of speed.
I tested various distributions (shr, om2008, hackable:1, fyp, qtmoko) and only the last one, qtmoko (port of qt/extended improved) is useful. All others suffer TERRIBLE SLOWNESS.
Another thing is battery. My e6, used a lot works without problems for 2-3 days. Freerunner used heavily drains battery in under 5 hours. Sure, most of the time it's suspended, but that's another problem - you can't check time. You have to turn it on, check, and turn it off.
Another thing - there is no slot for stylus, yet phone is much bigger.
Processor - it has more MHZ, but it is slower than e6. Where e6 gets 300 bogomips, freerunner has.. 150! And freerunner runs much more complicated and .. bloated distrubutions. What's funny, E6 has many emulators - snes, gba and others. FR is too slow for snes!

E6 has a camera - FR doesn't.

Sometimes it's TOTALLY not reliable phone. You never are sure if you'll success in making calls, or if the alarm clock will wake you up in the morning.

My opinion - if you want a linux phone, take E6 (or a1200). FR may be a good toy, but nothing else. And while you have e6, you have best portable linux you can have.

Pros of FR? Bigger screen, sdhc support, wifi, gps. Cons? Everything else. Overall score is I was STILL ANNOYED with FR, and getting back to my e6 was a huge relief. My fr was sold, thankfully
