How do you register the IMEI with Tmo? I would do that if it helps my reception. Will it affect what they charge on your data plan? My experience has been that my N900 signal is better than my G1, but only by a little bit. I guess the biggest difference is that when my G1 signal gets low it fails to connect w/o telling me, but the N900 actually says Cellular Data Not Available, which gets annoying in a really spotty area.

Ok, I have to ask because Googling came up with garbage.

Call or go to t-mo and give them your phones IMEI. As t-mo rolls out the "better" network the quality of service (Qos) software allocates bandwidth to handsets based on the capability of the handset, additionally the network will poll/check the SIM device pairing for error checking / data Qos, etc....

All these small variables now have a bigger effect as the network gets mores sophisticated.

I then enter an area with good coverage and the N900 will sometimes not regain signal until at least a minute later. Never experienced this on any previous phone- smartphone or dumb.

Heck, I was not happy with the G1's signal, but would love to have that compared to the N900's. I am very depressed Well, as depressed as device can make someone. The irony.
Sorry to hear that. I live right next to hamburg, any experience there?

As for flv, there's support in Extras-devel that's being tested as we speak.
Everything, GA. I'm being patient, but my firmware investigator's itch is getting bad. I want to look at every file on the system, and not via CLI. I'm new school, and CLI is too TRS80 for me. I'm not in fifth grade anymore. Xerox, Apple, and Microsoft took me past that years ago, and I don't want to go back for simple tasks. Root stuff, ok, but not simple browsing.

On another note, FLVs play fine, I've discovered. Just not all of them. I have about 20 that won't play. They start and crash the media player. Have to talk to the guy that made that additional support package.

Edge in that area. I went to Qdoba today. Edge there too. Are you really a Lex native or are you talking Hamburg Germany?

That area (KY one) should get 3G next month. I just work there.

TRS80! LOL that is what we used to load programs into the EEPROMS for PLC's that we built from scratch in my second year of college (Computer electronics). Good times

Then install SSH and use an SFTP client. . . . The only "roadblocks" up right now are in your head.

Is that an American thing? I've never heard of such.
