Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

Hello,

A very rare and nice prototype.

Amazing old kernel version.

Anybody can find what is it? according to this picture.

I will receive it next week :)

Regards.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

N900??????

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

That came to my mind too. Maybe a prototype or something

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

n820 ? or something similar to n800.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

No N900/ No N820/ No N800
its a very rare prototype like Lauta.
Maemo or Harmattan? :)

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Maemo is Harmattan, Harmattan is Maemo 6, as collector I thought you know that.

As it shows maemo 2 in your picture, it's likely to be some successor to 770.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

N900/Maemo 5 also uses Linux 2.6.28. "-maemo2" is the kernel EXTRAVERSION name and does not necessarily refer to the Maemo version. Based on the kernel version and build date, I'd guess that it's based on Fremantle or an early version of Harmattan (Maemo 6, pre-MeeGo). It could be a Columbus/RM-581, Dali/RM-680 (N950) or RM-660.

Good luck booting the OS without an initrd! ;)

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

maemo2 is only suffix of kernel. Doesn't have to mean it's the maemo2 version. Just like N900 kernel does have omap1 suffix for the kernel....

So this is the second version of the kernel adapted for maemo.

Ok, god...

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Who want one picture inside OS? :)

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

It's Sunday, I can take it or leave it.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Bring it on. I'm very curious.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Just post the damn pictures... Instead of thinking that you are the man ;)

Even with a look inside the OS, it gains me nothing actually ;)

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

2nd this, just share it or eat your pict alone

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

For the first time on Internet take a look:

Full OS inside OhMyGod!

So nice and exotic!!! :)

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Top left corner where it's peeling, what does it say? ....0 ?

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

It's written "N00".

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

So... I'm at a loss. What exactly is this? Phone? Internet Tablet? Something unannounced?

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Looks like Columbus - N8 HW design predecessor.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

I guess it's the successor of N900 with N8 form factor - a great 12MP camera with Xenon flash, and runs Maemo 6.

So N900 (or Internet Tablet series, although it's no longer called that name) has successors planned:

- With the keyboard removed and camera focused like N8, but running Maemo 6

- With keyboard remained and also 12MP camera but with LED flash, N9 (Dali-N950)

Then god knows why they shipped with Symbian^3 (N8) and Intel stepped in delayed to MeeGo era then EFlop killed them all in one hit.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Is that neo900? Wooow cool one

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

It's an N8 prototype :D

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Not N8 prototype - RM-581 Columbus Maemo 6 device.

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Let's say it's N00 Prototype based on N8 design :)

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

All Nokia prototype phones are called "Zero" (like N0 N00 or C0 C00 etc.)

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

I think tomorrow package will arrive.
I don't have battery :( it's BL-4D for the device.
If i use BV-4D it will boot? just voltage 3.7 vs 3.8
is it dangerous?

Re: New Nokia Prototype???
 

Here is the Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" Harmattan prototype :)

For the history:

On this website: https://muropaketti.com/artikkelit/t...of-nokia-meego

In this part: Columbus (RM-581)

Full OS Inside. It's a part of Nokia History!
I can customize lock screen, run camera, settings etc...

Re: Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

Cool!
How is the reactivity? Is it as fluid as N900?

Re: Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

Little slow when i load an application.
Reactivity when i move up and down is good :)

Re: Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

How similar to Nokia N8 is it? Would it be possible to backup the OS from the prototype, and then try to port it to an ordinary N8?
Thank you.

Meamo 6! I can't explain the emotion that brings. What a loss.

Re: Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

It might actually have closer hardware to Nokia N900 due to kernel version, but it's just a wild guess. Would be really interesting to check if n950 can backup the rootfs and upload it (dd should work fine).

Re: Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

I don't see any terminal console and micro usb port.

Re: Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

I just want to cry when I see people are devoted to this Maemo OS and am one of them and hope this pal will succeed and show us a full prototype functioning well and make us proud..

I can't wait to see one with fill capacity and full power faster Processor

Re: Nokia RM-581 codename "Columbus" First Harmattan Prototype S1.2
 

Someone pointed already in this thread but yeah, that device was as a early development hw in harmattan (and it was used for symbian development) but was never intended to be sold.

If my memory serves me, there was only openvr graphics drivers and no linux support for that thingie so no gles and thus, meegotouch wouldnt run very well on that..
