I'm trying to buy a supposedly new N900 from eBay India. But the problem is, the seller says 'dont update the software , if you do, you will be unable to use a sim card with it' . I dunno what the hell he means by that. I know I'm really late to the Maemo party. I've been saving money for the better part of 2 years for the day I get my hands on this baby... I'm basically buying the phone as a home science project, to keep me occupied on the weekends..please help me!
Should take the plunge and buy the phone? Is it possible the phone can be bricked if I update it?

Not as far as I know. N900 was (mostly) never tied to any operator/etc.. besides, if you should never update the software, then you can never flash the device.
In your shoes, i would just make sure that the device is a real N900, and buy it .

Hi,

Last day i've record video with my N9 (MeeGo 1.2 PR1.2 30.2012.07)
, everything went well. today i've tried to see the video and it doesn't exist. Where is the "buffer" folder? is there a way to recover the missing video?

thanks,
deckard

why? for me because it has it all

On N900 you can install many Operating System:Android, Ubuntu...

That you can't do on all common smartphones

Making it A Power House.

>OPENLINE...

>Full QWERTY slideKeyboard...

>Fast Wifi

>FM transmitter and receiver

>Infrared transmitter for universal remote control. dslr camera and more...

>up to 90Gb memory...

>memory Card slot..

>Sound MP3 ringtones
with stereo speakers
3.5mm jack...

>Primary Camera with panorama and a Dual LED flash. that can be use for flashlight and more...

>Secondary Camera for mirroring, Skype IM and Video Chat.. more..

>A modern very responsive resistive touch screen. precision not like the capative

>video Out...

>build in Stylus

and this are only the tip-of the iceberg

yes it is not so powerful and perfect but see the full picture. all the high-end phone that as been release 4 years ago... are?

What errors do you get? Have you tried to use backup repositories, such as http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/ ?
And when writing messages here, you may use markup, such as [code][//code], to make it easier to differentiate text from code.

I am confused, too... I do not know much about weather widgets. I can point you to Weather lockscreen and widget...it works now. , but I am not sure it's what you wish to have. If it is possible, can you elaborate on the filepath of the image which cannot be found?

Is only one video missing, or all videos recorded by the camera? Are photographs missing, too? If yes, it may be possible that the device considers itself in mass storage mode, or has in some other way (temporarily) prevented access to this part of memory.

I am not sure, but quoting from IRC log of #harmattan:

Best wishes.
