You can debug phone stuff, as we created the ‘phone simulator’ to simulate phone calls and other things for the QVFb. Or, you can use phonebounce mode on the Greenphone you can use the Greenphone’s modem from the QVFb.

One reason why we made the SDK a virtual machine is that Windows (and Mac) users can also develop Greenphone software without having to install Linux. We also do not have to produce and test several different package formats and various distribution versions may not be compatible with each other. We can also distribute various tweaks to make things work a bit more smooth, such as the Qtopia 4 application wizard in KDevelop. You also have all the libraries and development files to develop for the Greenphone, as well as an easy setup of your development environment. It also takes out the distribution variances element in supporting the SDK.
