Re: gizmo5 closing. googleVoice -> gizmo SIP alternative?

I signed up for localphone. Works pretty well. I can connect to it with my SIP phones (like N900), get multiple incoming numbers cheaply, and the call rate is about half of Google's rate (albeit...

Re: Outgoing SMS queue location?

Hmm, I powered it back on since I'm in an area without t-mo service (I know, I could have also removed SIM) and tried sending a text message and it appears in /var/spool/sms/outgoing directory.

Re: Firmware to be released Q1 of '10. MMS to be supported.

Not in the U.S. :-(

But on the flip side, there's web sites that will send texts and MMS for free because the receiver has to pay to receive them.

Which is another reason why in the U.S. you...

Re: N900 vs Iphone.

I know of nowhere that Verizon is GSM. The only phones they support that do GSM (and CDMA) are their world phones meant for roaming outside the U.S.

Verizon's next step is LTE in the 700 Mhz band....

Re: N900 vs Iphone.

I have iSSH on the iphone and it's horrible compared to the N900. Even the simple act of creating and using a private/pub key pair is a hassle on the iPhone. I can't see much on the screen on the...

Re: N900 vs Iphone.

The latter. I run top shortly after and it shows the 5 minute load average over 5, so I'm probably running too many programs -- but that's the big advantage of the N900, isn't it?

Re: N900 vs Iphone.

I have both phones as well, and carry both, and while I agree with just about everything the OP posted, I still find myself reaching for my iPhone more often. For example, the camera is too often too...

Re: T-Mobile Network Speed test on Nokia N900 Miami Area

I've gotten similar results. 1mb down, about 350k up. This is in northern Delaware.

I have a work-supplied Verizon mifi device that gets 3mb down. Ironically and sadly I often find myself...

Re: N900 custome APN's?

Somehow the tech in GSM can set who the preferred and allowed carriers are depending on the area. I've driven across the U.S. a few times and there are areas where a t-mobile SIM is permitted to ...

Re: Nokia n900 and EDGE

In that case, don't you have an older dumb GSM phone around you could slap the SIM in and give them that IMEI number, then swap it into the N900 later?

Re: Where is the camera sound file location?

Just as a point of reference, with my N95 and the U.S. firmware, I could not silence the shutter sound. With the Euro firmware (after changing the product code and reflashing) I *could* silence the...
