Re: Device Collections
At least in Toronto, N900s are not that difficult to find. There's maybe one for sale every few weeks, ranging in price from $20 for a non functional one to about $100 for a working one, but likely...

Re: Device Collections
It's not without risk though... For all I knew, this N900 was dead. Then again, it's a Nokia so how dead can any of them be?
Another N900 I have was chewed by a dog, and the owner forgot the PIN....

Re: Device Collections
Typing on the "new" n900 now. It was posted on Toronto kijiji, right? Small world, isn't it... one thing that I am debating is if I should take it apart and solder the USB port. I did it on the main...

Re: Device Collections
I just bought another N900. Fully functional, the screen is pretty scratched and it's missing the battery. The previous owner tried overclocking it through some utility, and thought he bricked it....

Re: Soldering iron to strenghten the usb port
I think I was one of the first people that epoxied the port in place. That particular N900 is long sold, so I cannot verify how long it lasted. However my current N900 was used for 4 years with a...

Re: How to identify a fake N900
Hit your local classifieds. I bought 4 used N900s over the past year in various stages of wear. I now have one mint, two used and one completely broken N900 for spares for a total cost of $280. Funny...

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
I voted for a 400 euro price point for the bare board as money is pretty tight at the moment. I have 3 fully functional N900s and of those there is an almost-as-new one I would drop the board into....

Re: N900 vs Nexus 4
Thanks for the reply...
I am by no means saying the n900 is faster, or that the battery lasts longer than the nexus 4. Far from it. It's dog slow, and has half the battery life at best. But the...

N900 vs Nexus 4
My N900 running the latest CSSU testing has a 52 day uptime, still loads all apps, plays music, connects to wifi and 3G, goes online. My Nexus 4, running CM 10.3 has to be rebooted every couple of...

Re: [Announce] CSSU Testing thread
Any chance the ringtone fix will get integrated into the CSSU Testing sometime soon? I know installing the fix is trivial, but I like my devices to be synced with the repos.

Are you referring to Nokia failing to execute their Maemo/Meego plan? Because it seems to me their Windows Mobile plan is failing even worse. After spending billions in marketing, they still have...

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock. Really.
Nobody wants Windows Phone. It's not about camera pixels, number of CPU cores, screen size or resolution. Windows Phone is toxic to Nokia and all other manufacturers, but at least they have Android...

I bought a Zagg for an iPad, and i cut my own. So far I protected 3 N9s, 1 N900 and 2 HTC Sensation. Absolutely no scratches, but it does make dragging the stylus on the N900 a bit strange as the...

And in another year or so the bottom will fall out of that market too. Why buy a crippled Asha when you can get a very decent Android for the same price?
