Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??

One thing not mentioned yet that I'm missing. Notification light! Having to unlock the screen to check the notification bar is nowhere near as efficient.

Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??

As I mentioned elsewhere, I've recently 'replaced' my N900 with a Samsung Galaxy SII which seems to fulfil my day to day needs based on a couple of day's usage.

Having said that, my N900 will...

Re: When will there be anything that can replace my N900

Well, I've been convinced to give a Galaxy S II a go. It'll be my primary phone but my trusty N900 will still be my primary computer in my pocket.

Re: POLL: Do you use CSSU or not?

Re: [Announce] CSSU stable release

Awesome stuff! Great to see a CSSU Stable at last! At least no-one can accuse the (most excellent) people involved of rushing it! :-D

Re: Using the N900 charger for other devices?

My understanding is that there is a standard for these chargers so it should work fine.

Thumbs up namebench

I read a thread on a Linux forum about a Google application called namebench. Basically, it recommends DNS servers for you based on a bunch of speed tests it does. I hooked my N900 up to my...

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

I had a broken packages problem which I managed to fix by firing up HAM and disabling various repos followed by a re-enable. I guess the forced refresh/update allowed the system to 'see' the broken...

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

The bit about being unable to boot sounded like a reboot loop situation to me. Maybe I read it wrong.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

Yes, you can reflash the kernel only. http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#Flashing_only_the_kernel_from_a_FIASCO_image_.28expert_topic.21.29

I did that recently. Worked a treat.

Re: modest-home-applet problem

modest-home-applet problem

Basically, I'm unable to upgrade to CSSU 16.5. It seems the root of my problem is that in /var/lib/dpkg/status modest-home-applet is listed as deinstall ok config-files. (It's causing a broken...

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?

No regrets whatsoever. I have concerns that I'll struggle to find a worthy and fully functional replacement when the time comes.

Re: Which Linux to use on Windows 7 64-bit as dual boot?

If you want a distro that has a bit better security than standard, go for openSUSE. Apparmour installed by default... The other distro I can personally recommend is Mepis. It's Debian based and...

Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.

I voted yes. As far as I'm concerned, Nokia have nothing to loose as I will never buy another Nokia product with the current Microsoft agreement in place. However, I would really like my N900 to...

Re: Insanely slow app manager

Re: Debian or ubuntu or what?

Linux Mint is the one I'm currently recommending. Personally, I'd favour the Linux Mint Debian Edition because I actually use Mepis which is Debin based and compatible. As is LMDE.
