Re: N900 + DC-11 charging problems

When Nokia finally placed the last straw on this camels back I bought a Nokia One and love it as much as I hated the N900. I point this out because anybody who was attracted to the dream of N900 may...

Re: So it begins, Flash sites are updating to Flash 10 now

This is the last straw. If Nokia actually told us what the hell is going on I might have more patience.

I can only live with the crashes, stuttering, hanging, lack of apps for so long. My N900...

Re: mobilehotspot or joiku?

I have Joiku and find it works 95% of the time. But that 5% failure means my family roll their eyes when I promise them an internet connection via my n900.

Re: Is the CA-146C adapter trash?

Mine seems to work if the N900 is at half charge or better. If it has less than half charge it indicates "charging" even though it is not.

This is one of several ways the N900 has burned me...

Re: Joiku for n900 available :)

I made the same mistake, I closed the download file and moved to the N900 to pick up the email assuming it would contain the JoikySpot Premium install file. It did not.

I tried writing to Joiku...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

You think that is bad. I have to carry my ancient HP HW6915 Windows Mobile 5 around with me because it came with TomTom pre-installed and provides the navigation features N900 is still missing.

Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo

SOMEBODY at Nokia thinks MeeGo will run on the N900, the MeeGo site front page (http://meego.com) clearly shows a user holding an N900.

Re: Linus bought a Nexus One, ignored n900 questions

I wonder if Nokia could be persuaded to give Linux a complementary N900. It would be great publicity.

Re: Using N900 for video calls, front facing camera

Were you using pr1.1 (I am), maybe they have improved the gstreamer code which handles the video.

Ill try this with my own laptop (Ubuntu/karmic) and let you know how it goes.

I was under the impression that the front facing camera does not work other than with the mirror app.

Wrong, it can be used for video calls!

Re: Anybody else is using the N900 without screen protector?

As readers of this forum are well aware the N900 is getting close to the end of its life. Since mobile devices are obsolete so quickly there seems little point in bothering with screen protection.

Re: What mobile review n900 - maemo 6

I have a N800 and upgraded to the N810 when it was released. This is the first I have heard about a discount on the N810.

Re: Will N900 be ignored by Nokia?

The support for older Android phones is in stark contrast with the Maemo experience. While I love the N900 the lack of Nokia support means that my next phone will have to be Android.
