Re: Phones that come with a stylus

Re: Why does Android feel so lacking?
For me I don't see too many people really claiming that the N900 is truly a better all around option today, just lamenting the fact that Maemo is still superior in so many ways compared to Android,...

Lost sound on my N800
My N800 has suddenly lost sound output, both to the internal speakers and to any headset I've plugged into it. I've been trying to test in multiple apps, but realized I don't really have that many...

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
Interesting. I took my MicroSD card directly from my N900 to use in my Note 2 without any problem (and during the first couple of weeks I had it I went back and forth a couple of times).
