Are those pictures really show OPIE that run perfectly on e680i?

Although I can't speak for the exact package shown, my experience with opie thus far is that many of the apps run (and button recognition is better than when trying it on the e680) but there are still some bugs, the two biggest being:

1. the opie apps and the phones qt apps do not like to work well together, to get the apps to work the most reliably you have to shutdown the running windowsserver (SYSqtapp/windowsserver/windowsserver) and start opie with : qpe -qws (at this point opie can run, but you have to reboot the phone to get the native apps (e.g. the phone) to work)

2. Sound is not working yet. (it looks like the opie player can handle a wide variety of formats (I am interested in .ogg) but no sound comes out and it is complaining about mixer settings.)

check out http://marcus.bluetroll.se/e680/ for info on how to build and run opie; it was originally done on the 680 but everythnig works the same (if not better) on the 680i - leprechaun did a really nice job with this and it has been very interesting.

If you are a beginner, use Cyph's precompiled OPIE. It allows you to switch between the OPIE environment and the Motorola EZX environment on-the-fly.

To get sound working on OPIE, start a sound application, say the media player, and plug and unplug the headset. Check the development forums to see if someone has found another way.
