hal-info-20081127 (.tar.bz2) is available.
Comment 3 Joeri Capens 2009-01-07 13:44:25 UTC 
hal-info-20081219 is available.

The hal-info package should be updated far more often than it is now. The current version is missing info for my new mp3 player and 9-in-1 card reader. It is not very likely that newer versions contain regressions.

The hal website also says: "When packaging hal, it should depend on hal-info, of any version", which makes me wonder why the latest hal package depends on either of two specific hal-info versions?

Current hal-info version in portage doesn't support many Nokia Mobile Phones as 3G/GSM modem. Please update the ebuild.
If is there any way I could help, just let me know.

Copying the hal-info-20080508 ebuild in portage and renaming it does the trick. I totally agree with   #4: The hal package should depend on the latest (stable) hal-info version and that should be updated. I installed 20081219 to get support for an USB modem. Works nicely.

Renaming the ebuild is ok, works for me. After updated it, my Nokia phone got recognized by NM 0.7.0.
