[SOLD] N900, [STILL SELLING] Dead N810

I'm selling my N900 which has the "Communication Error" fault. This means the phone and GPS don't work.

But it still works as a 32GB music player, a camera, a WiFi web browser, etc, or as a source...

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note

I wrote that nine months ago. Now my N900 has died, and I did get the Note as a replacement. I haven't been disappointed.

For me the biggest downside is that the Note only has a mono speaker. I've...

iDavid, I used mappero for hiking. It's fantastic! You can preload openstreetmap for any area or route. For some places, openstreetmap has better mapping of hiking routes than any other source. I...

Re: N900 Bricked? Won't Turn On At All - Now What?

Try this very simple fix. It won't work for everyone, but it un-bricked my N900 when I had similar problems:

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note

If my N900 dies, this will be my replacement. In a way, the Galaxy Note is where Nokia should have taken the N800.

On a screen this big, I can live without a hardware keyboard. For me, the...

Re: Ecosystem talk, Is MS/Nokia fighting yesterday’s battle?

All the more ironic, considering that Nokia virtually owned the tablet market back in the days of the N800.

Re: And where is the people from Nokia who worked on Maemo and Meego?

I'm just observing that if one lumbers along with the leviathan without taking the risks of disruption, then one is more likely to end up being consoled in bed by Microsoft than taking the glory of...

Good point. Microsoft may even be more interested in killing Qt than in growing WP7.

Re: Is there anything we can do??

Elop would not have made this announcement unless he knew he had the full backing of the Nokia board.

No chance at all now, unless WikiLeaks gets hold of the source.

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego? Hello WP7!!

1. Release the 770 to popular acclaim.
2. Release the N800/N810 to widespread success.
3. Release the N900 as a failed attempt to compete with iPhone.
4. Release a stillborn MeeGo phone.
5....

Re: Bitcoin server running on an N900

I only run it when plugged in to the charger or to a USB socket. But I'm one of those who has never been able to get a full day out of the N900 battery if I leave WiFi on.

Re: [Council] Nokia response to MyNokia subscription in PR1.2

The message is on my box too. OK, so what Nokia did is probably legal. But it's not the right thing to do.

Nor is it good business practise for Nokia. It's just alienating their user base more and...

Re: ohhhh!!! N900 is just full of bugs.

They'll be fixed when "step 5 of 5" is released. According to Nokia, the N900 is "step 4 of 5", but somehow I don't think they're quite ready to ship "step 5" yet. First I think we'll see step 4.5,...
