I just checked in support for the HTC Tornado into OE. We can build quite nice
images but there are still some essential things missing:
- There is still no Linux support for the telephony functions on that device
- Some backends for status displays would be useful.
- There are some open UI issues on devices without touchscreen
- We need a text input method

If you want to try you can download my testing images linked here:

Any feedback is welcome of course!

Greetings

Florian
