So, I am off from home away on a trip but what I did is I of course brought my N900 with me to celebrate the week!
So as I told you before, I had to look for the sim adaptor I knew was somewhere, took me a few hours to finally dig it out. I had left N900 to charge overnight but then I found out that it would not boot after all!
I just saw the yellow light constantly lit, but not "breathing"
The device tried to boot when I pressed power-on but then died...
After I wriggled the USB connector back and forth a few times the light started breathing after all... SO what I am having is probably the early stages of major USB mishap!
After charging it for a few hours, I tried to power-on again and what, now it boots up like nothing!
So, now the simcard is in the device, and it went instantly to Elisa network, beautiful!
First thing I tried after setting up the date and time is I pulled contacts from my Jolla sbj1 via bluetooth and it worked like it should. Another plus there for the old horse!
Sending couple of SMS'es, real pleasure to use a keyboard for that!
Will report later on next adventures...

Using N900 as an emulator. Still the best experience on any mobile devices (except pyra and this is in terms of controls)

missed the first day of N900 week but using my beloved device today as main phone. Working great but keyboard keys are a bit hard to press. And my first post on N900 after a year.

Happy N900 week
Kind regards J Neutron
Here I am still waiting for it to be released in Australia, and it becomes discontinued instead! :P

I bought a new battery and a micro sim adapter fpr my n900.
I was hoping to leave the note4 at home. Unfortunately when i booted the phone, it could not find the network that i am on.
It is not the famous gsm chip problem, the phone finds three networks, but it will not allow me connect to any.
In more details - it finds Vodafone, Telekom (T-mobile) and Orange, however i ported my sim from Telekom to a local provider which n900 does not seem to find.
However, i still take the n900 with me everywhere i go for this week.
I use the note only for calls and hotspot and n900 for internet, email, etc.
We should celebrate this week at least twice a year.
Best regards.

This morning I started configuring my email address to N900 but ran into problems as our mailserver uses self-swigned certificate.The device refuses to sync to the server...
Now I have to figure out how to install own certificate since there's no option for "ignore certificate errors" in the email setup.
One thing I find odd is that some people bitch about the limitations of the web browser, I find it pretty good indeed (and am now using it to write this piece on TMO)
Sure it loads pages a bit slower than on sbj1 but I recon it is mostly due to having 4G on it and only 3G on N900.

I want to send a big thank you to whoever created faster application manager. How can that be so fast while Nokia original is so slow? Simply better code or cutting corners?

Got my kid-free, postponable-responsibility moment and swapped SIM into the N900. Apparently last-year me was actually smart enough to leave the SIM adapter in the N900 SIM slot. Yay last-year guy! It's working.
Let the week begin, a little late.
