Re: IRC for Nokia N810?

If you are more adventurous:
I run Irssi in a screen session on a machine at home, then SSH into it from my tablet - this way the net effect is the same as always having my tablet connected to the...

Re: Bluetooth googles for watching video

If the videos can be played off the included 128 MB SD card that means the video decoding hardware is on the glasses. Which makes sense - streaming uncompressed video and audio would take quite a...

Re: how do you convert DVD's to your N800?

I like HandBrake as well, but since the XviD encodes it makes don't play on my DivX standalone, despite my best efforts (muxing issue I think) I use dvd::rip. Pretty much the same features, but...

Re: Where is your nxx0 today? (photo thread)

It was horrible, they sent me to Guam last week for work. Got a little overcast that evening, but still nice and warm.

Re: Where is Nokia - no announcement no product - still in hibernation

Hard keys also allow you act without looking. Both in that they allow you to find exactly where to push and that they respond in a tactile, not visual, manner.

Re: Holux M1000 (and likely M1200) can do 5HZ!

Considering there are only 31 GPS sats up currently, and you likely can't see more than 12 at any given moment, and considering there are only 17 Russian GLONASS birds left flying around, and if you...

Re: What's more comfortable - top or bottom bars?

I always find top placed bars in applications (even in full screen) undesirable on a touch-interface device.
Top-placed menus might be familiar from my exposure to desktop applications, but they do...

Re: Where can I edit the locale (date / time format) files ?

Thanks for explaining the what. Are you able to describe the why as well? Perhaps explain some of the options available in customizing this part of the locale settings?

Re: How to install Windows Mobile on N810?

Perhaps the original poster received it as a present. If I am not mistaken it is that time of year.

Re: Battery life not good -- problem?

An older lithium battery will show greater dips in voltage under load than a newer one, and will take longer to "relax" to the true voltage state.

I think it is a very safe assumption that there...

Re: Poll: I am going to buy the n900 no matter what!!

Re: Poll: I am going to buy the n900 no matter what!!

More "performance" isn't needed for my primary tasks - PIM, email, and SSH. OpenGL and 720p assumes I have any desire to look at anything other than text on the N900.

I'm in (what I assume is) a...
