Re: N900. After 5 month it's a total delusion

Interesting...I too got my N900 to replace my dead Palm Pilot (and an intervening series of bad cell phones with so-called PDA / media features). As an Outlook user, I'm dependent on Nokia PC Suite,...

Re: N900 + SE A2DP Bluetooth stereo headset

Hey guys, I just got a hot-off-the-press SE MW600. I used to have a SE HBH-DS220 but it died. The MW600 is a very nice piece of hardware with a built-in FM radio which I really appreciate because the...

Re: Poll - do you want voice dialing on the N900

Hmmm, I'm surprised no one is working on an S60 (or E71) emulator for Maemo. :) I have never used these phones, but from what folks are saying, it seems like they kinda had these features nailed...

Re: Announcement: Countdown Timer

In my studio, I use a lot of countdown timers. Right now I'm using ToastTimer (source forge) inside the Garnet (PalmOS) VM. I'll give yours a go.

Re: What would you like to see in the next update?

I'd like to see the PIM/PDA/Phone features take a huge step towards being serious business apps instead of "touch" toys. Sorry for the nasty tone, but I bought the N900 thinking and hoping that for...

Re: [Proposal pending] Improve the calendar

i'd like to see Categories introduced across the board, including the Calendar app.

Tasks, while related, should be accessible without going through the Calendar.

Re: Ovi Suite 2.1 does not support N900

Re: n900 Calendar Task Reminders

You can use Outlook or Nokia PC Suite (on your PC) to set any alarm interval on appointments and the N900 will honour them. But you can't set them that way in the N900 itself.

NOTE: Nokia's...

Re: To get GVM/palm contacts into N900 contacts

I managed to sync 3500 contacts and several hundred appointments, tasks and notes from Outlook 2007 to my N900 using Nokia PC Suite on Win7 and I was understandably very happy that it worked!

Re: Nokia talk to us!

The software/firmware status is one issue and that could be or is being answered in the various maemo.org forums, bugzilla database, etc.

But what about the physical hardware? E.g. is Nokia...

Re: Ouch... Android is making my n900 look bad.

Ahem, "MooBox"? Different sound, but just as useful?

Don't forget N900Fly? I gather if you throw your N900 high enough, it makes a sound.

Come on, there are "fart" apps for the N900 too. But...

Re: N900 map without connection

Really? Are you sure? Doesn't work for me and a lot of other folks. If I bring up the "Find Places" app from Ovi Maps and then try to do a search, I get "Error occurred during search request".

Re: A-list applications for N900 - what do you recommend?

Even before I ordered by N900, I saw Free42 on the site and it definitely influenced by decision. The calculator on my previous cell phone was pathetic at best.

Free42 is the most perfect of all...

Re: N900, Panucci and Audible.com

Going online with the phone didn't help. Audible.com doesn't list the N900. How the Audible Manager on my laptop seemed to recognize the N900 and its capabilities in PC-Suite Mode is a mjystery.

Re: 15 hardware changes that would have made N900 physically irresistible – [15 essential hardware features for its successor]

Re: SLR style control over N900 camera

Did some shooting this afternoon and evening with the N900 and one thing that seems to be missing is auto-exposure lock which is a feature of DSLR and better P&S cameras that I use ALL the time.

Re: Will Garnet VM run on Maemo 5 / the N900?

Initially, I was also unable to sync over wireless. Coincidentally, I upgraded the wireless router and now I can sync over wireless.
