Re: I wanted to know if the n900 is still a good phone today

If you want a device to tinker with, then the N900 is unique (as
others have said).

If you'd like to get a phone that just works and has all the new and
snazzy features and slick interfaces to...

Re: Google Chat Phone Calls

I ran the telepathy debugger and can confirm the following:

1. If "Forward to Google Chat" is checked in Google Voice, my Gtalk account on the n900 receives a packet initiating an audio chat when...

Re: New transitions.ini - No transitions

Sorry to revive and old post, but you can speed things up even more (and make your N900 get right to the point without all the eye-candy nonsense) by zeroing out the zoom values as well. This solved...

Re: New to Linux - best way to learn and which distro to get?

+1 Puppy Linux
+1 Crunchbang

But, then, I really dislike Gnome. So these two distros are very user friendly ways to learn about alternative window managers. Puppy Linux runs JWM. Crunchbang...

Re: Chrome OS on N900 ?

I'd imagine someone could hack it. My guess is it would be a nightmare even if you could get it running. And you'd likely lose much of the functionality of your N900 due to missing drivers, etc. If...

Re: N900 vs. Motorola Droid (Verizon Android device)

I wonder if your arguments about Maemo vs. Symbian also perhaps apply to Android and the iPhoneOS. I know that Android has a lot of room for growth and development, but I can't help feeling that the...

Re: Know thy enemy...

Is it just me, or is this article confusing global statistics with an argument about the U.S. market? At the end of the article, he states:

"The iPhone and Kindle will continue to rule well into...

Re: So whats so bad about about Android?

There are few things more tedious than "fanboyism" than the attempt to outflank it altogether by suggesting (in pseudo-psychological jargon) that any attempt to rank and/or compare two things "is a...

Re: So whats so bad about about Android?

Yes, very nicely put. This difference is *the* hardest thing for most people to understand. That's why you get so many questions like "What's wrong with Android? Isn't it just Linux?" The average...

Re: N900 vs. Motorola Droid (Verizon Android device)

Thanks for this question. It helped me clarify my own quirky interests in the Nokia N900. IMO, you're not missing anything in a phone "as such" in Android. In fact, the phone/mobile functionality in...

Re: N900 vs. Motorola Droid (Verizon Android device)

Yes, semantically this is correct.

I think the term missing here is POSIX. Android is not POSIX-compliant, and you're limited to the Android API. Thus Android is just not as open or hackable as...

Re: Will Joe Average understand why the N900 is special?

This is spot on. People will look at the $600 price tag and say "I can get an iPhone for $199" (not, of course, fully realizing how much they're committing to pay down the road).

I'm not...
