Re: Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

Here's (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/the-engadget-interview-nokia-ceo-stephen-elop-talks-microsoft/)a good take by Elop for Engadget about the strategy. Lasts about ten minutes and explains...

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

Elop has read his Sway. It seems to me that he has the guts to call off something that doesn't seem to deliver. 10 years of investments to a platform that's not working is insanity. And it would be...

Google it won't be - or at least it sounds unlikely.

Is it then Windows or MeeGo? 24 hours or so to go.

Re: Ovi Maps and N900 Maps

Is it just me, or doesn't OVI maps for N900 have Cyprus at all for pre map download?

Re: Keep or sell...?

I lost my previous N900 on Sunday evening probably somewhere in the arctic snowbanks of Southern Helsinki. On Monday I bought a new N900 - the last that the shop had. 450 euro. Must be out of my...

Re: Awesome Custom MeeGo UI on N900 and Lenovo Notebook

I see no point in this - nice eye-candy, but it isn't practical nor easy in the long run. It didn't work smoothly even on the Lenovo, what if you lose blobs etc.

I'd like to see polished, well...

Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900

Eugene - good point to have a look at. So I did, and realised that I had unintentionally turned the default camera setting (possibly automatic after installing PR1.3) to lower resolution leading some...

Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900

Here are comparison pictures from just a little while back. Sun had practically set, clouds were grey, it was raining. You can also easily see how much wider the BlessN900 angle is. Why is that, btw?...

Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900

I've tried to compare some pics with the normal N900 camera and BlessN900. Is it just me, or is the focal length shorter in BlessN900 than in the normal camera app?

Re: PR1.3: users, was it worth the wait?

I backed up the phone with its inbuilt back-up programme.

Tried then OTA update to PR1.3, but it asked for PC Suite.

Set up PC Suite on the new laptop: it didn't obviously work.

Then...

Re: Stop smoking app?

OT again. So, richwhite, you suggest that for some reason the vast majority of the current nicotine research is wrong? According to your view, nicotine does not cause a chemical effect on brain which...

Re: Stop smoking app?

Nicotine dependence is a VERY well documented physical addiction. About 7% first time cold turkey quitters manage to stay off fags for 12 months. On average, a successful quitter has...

Nicotine addiction is purely physical (and medical) a condition and very few people can go cold turkey with cigarettes. Any help that will distract from thinking of pleasure of lighting up, remind,...

Re: Bright spot or spots on display / LCD

I managed to slip on stairs, broke a bit myself and also the screen of my N900. Had it changed here in Athens.

Re: [Announce] - BarrioSquare - foursquare app for Maemo5

Re: Flash 10.1 on Nokia N900

Re: Loose display

If it is a physical design issue, then I guess I will have to live with it - or do you imply that it can be fixed by Nokia service?

Re: [Announce] - BarrioSquare - foursquare app for Maemo5

Is there any programmer who could have a look at this? I guess there a plenty of us users who'd really like to see barriosquare fixed.
