Freemangordon has been doing a lot of work on connui-cellular, the modem framework and UI that we need in place to integrate ofono, the work has now been packaged. It lacks any ofono integration (I'm supposed to write that soon), but here are two screenshots showing it in action:

Woohoo - we really are getting there.

Next for this will be ofono support for connui-cellular and writing the ofono icd plugin for gprs data.
