Re: Handtec sourced N9 crashes thread

For potential alternatives in the UK, PurelyGadgets and Expansys both have some in stock (though in the case of expansys, only 16GB).

Re: New N900 user - Flash?

If you bought the device used and it didnt have a clean OS install on it, reflash the device first and foremost.

Re: root is not in the sudoers file. Funny.

You can thank crypt + DES for that, it's cryptographically pathetic and limited to 8 characters.

Re: Will you be buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab?

Products go wrong, it happens. It's how they deal with it afterwards that matters really. In Samsung's case, this has always been excellent for me - I bought a new Samsung TV last year, after about 2...

Re: Who said Nokia did not do false advertising? look at this

Re: How to send fax from N900?

This does work fine, its essentially just a question of lack of interest (presumably) to develop software - Back in 2007 ish Nokia licensed and rebranded a third-party tool that allows you to send...

Re: some questions from a potential buyer: multi-boot, MeeGo, USB host, overclocking

Just as a tangential point here, if you're coming from an E90 you WILL get pissed off at the N900's keyboard, as it's shockingly small, cramped, and bad compared to the E90's. It'll take a lot of...

Re: Steve Jobs Spitting on Android :D This meant WAR

Open platform != Open source.
