Re: Using the n900 in 2012

Thank you VERY much reinob! As I (sort of) said, I'm rather familiar with the "time bomb" you speak of--only the "time" for me was pretty much the time to first reboot after install! :(

Re: Tethering and Wifi Hotspot web access blocked on T-Mobile US

Interesting: so, in theory, this would seem to indicate that the measurement methodologies give different numbers, or simply that that 400 mW of power was enough to make it legal one place rather...

Re: Web page loading problem T-mobile prepaid

I'm going to assume you're talking about T-MO USA. The problem is a very badly designed website that uses an insane amount of javascript. Even on a regular PC the POS site is slow. On the N900 it...

Re: Why so many keep saying hardware is getting old?

My own reasoning for saying the N900's hardware is old is that it already was somewhat slow in the beginning. That is, it has roughly the same horsepower and memory as the iPhone 3GS, yet that...

Re: Kernel Power (Titan's Custom Kernel)

Re: can i program with n900 ?

There, corrected that for you: I'd say, within reason, you can do everything on the N900 you could on a netbook; and like a netbook, graphics-heavy stuff and especially Flash games don't work well.
