Re: A-GPS not working correctly

Same problem on the US East coast. Switching from supl.nokia.com to supl.google.com fixed the problem here.

Re: How do you use multitasking in N900?

I sometimes have an open xterm in background, running ssh with port-forwarding. Useful for mail access to a machine on an otherwise inaccessible network. I'll also regularly fire up a window to...

I'm Dave to my friends, and I do get on a bit don't I?

Thanks for that.

Re: How bad is the mail client...

That is an unfortunately titled brainstorm. Modest is arguably "useable" by many people already. A better title, if you wished to create a catch-all brainstorm for Modest, might be "Improve Modest...

Living in the past - MVS/370 on my N900

Back in the way early '80s, even before I became a dad, I was an operations and tech support manager for a mid-sized IBM mainframe installation. We had a room sized monster (by the standards of the...

Re: N900 and the size of it !

It fits my front trouser pocket (but be sure to get screen protection - coins and sand may damage it otherwise). I'll simply pocket the device if I step away from my desk for a few moments, but if...

Re: T-mobile coverage...

The coverage maps are not 100% accurate. Before you drop $500 on an N900 it is worth your while to test your area with a loaner device.

My local T-Mo store wouldn't give me a loaner, but a forum...

Re: The n900 - My Take On It

I wonder if you'd see an improvement in stuttering/latency if you switched back to 3G?

Re: Do Not Alert on Emails

Thanks for the pointer to that bug, Andre.

Re: Nokia messaging problem

Yes, but does Nokia Messaging itself use IMAP-IDLE? If it has to poll your private IMAP account anyway, it's not necessarily improving your delivery time... right?

Re: I don't like to bish much, but damn it!

It's a known problem (http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Single_sign-on). Perhaps the Meego effort will give the infrastructure people a clean slate to start from.

Re: Help me xfer data from my old phone, please

Appreciate the advice, all. Thanks very much.

Well... maybe. I avoided the N900 subforum because my query wasn't hardware related. No good choices!

Help me xfer data from my old phone, please

Okay, spiffy new N900 in hand here, and an old-school Nokia 9300 is awaiting decommissioning. How do I unload my old contacts and reload into the N900?

Both devices support bluetooth, and I can...

Re: I want to write apps for N900. Should i learn C or C++?

Your age is irrelevant unless you are renting a car. I'm 40+ years older than you, yet don't doubt that you could teach me a thing or six.

Re: IMAP vs Exchange vs Nokia Messaging

How often do you have the client check the server for new messages? I wonder how short the interval can be (since we don't have IMAP-IDLE support) before we start noticing a hit on the battery?
