I don't wish to appear rude but could I ask how things are going with this
problem. I have parted with cash to convert my imperfectly functional GPE
based 4700 into a prettier, more functional but unusable Qtopia based one.
I'd love to stick with Qtopia but I would like to know that there is a good
chance that the suspend / power management problems will be fixed.
Thanks in advance.
