Buying a new N900. Can't wait.
 
After foolishly selling my N900 back in 2011 to help pay for my N9, I've decided to get back in the Maemo 5 game and seek out a well-loved, used N900 to play with. Found one, buying today.

Trouble is, as someone who never was a much of a hacker/coder/modder, I'm certain when the N900 turns up factory reset, I'll be at a loss as to how I had my old set up with some of the community's best tweaks and apps, etc.

Is there a link someone can point me to that will give me a quick low down on what I should be doing 2 years later?

Also, are the repositories still operational?

Many thanks guys. Looking forward to getting my thumbs under that qwerty again! :)

This is my n900 your buying. Enjoy!

Reluctant to let it go but I haven't used it in nearly a year. Best it goes to someone who can give it the attention it deserves.

And yes I'm regretting the sale already. :(

Ha! Small world. Great that it's coming from a TMO member - love that.

I will take very good care of her. And no, I won't make the mistake of selling this one on (but don't change your mind on selling it to me either!!)

:)

Don't install Speed Patch or Battery Patch, please.

Thanks mate. Actually after some Googling around, many things came back to memory! I also still have a folder of N900 stuff on my old Mac. Nice! :)
