Re: What to get to replace my N900?

A lot of the time it can take the pads with it, or have pad issues during replacement.
There are some good guides on this forum worth a look but not everyone feels competent to do it.

Re: Purging Hildon cache

Can't stand the default notes application and use other things like leafpad instead.
If you want to have a look about your home directory for caches the programs full name is "osso-notes"

I suppose in this instance it's explained that it's mandatory and the reasons for that, so if "want" or "need" is used correctly is just semantics, although I do see where your coming from.
