I still use a Motorola A1200 with the original EZX stack as my main
phone (and that tells something about how much I use a phone...)
however I haven't touched any OpenEZX stuff in a while.

I don't think I am going to play with these devices anytime soon, but I
can provide Robert any info he may need about OpenEZX, the development
tools and the out-of-tree patches required to make the phones somewhat
usable.

I have an off-line backup of the OpenEZX wiki as well if that should be
needed.

Robert, feel free to contact me off-list any time.
I also still hang out in the #openezx IRC channel on Freenode.

Ciao ciao,
   Antonio
