Re: The N900 Wikipedia Article
 

Christ . . . Wikipedia. Anybody else remember the fun we had with the Maemo article last time I tried to make a big push for improvement? :rolleyes:

This has been the same issue Nokia's specifications have had with every single tablet they've released. A certain size of card is available when do their certifications, so that is the size they mention in their specifications (they can't very well say it supports 32GB when 32GB cards are unavailable for testing, can they). Unfortunately the certification never has anything to do with what the hardware and software are actually capable of using.

The N800 is clearly capable of using cards over 8GB (there are several users using two 32GB and two 64GB card configurations), however the specifications seem to claim it's limited to that. We also know the N810 is capable of supporting more than 8GB as well.

Well, the same issue applies to the N900 specifications. 16GB is what was available for testing, so 16GB is what they say in the specs all the while the hardware and software are perfectly capable of supporting cards up to 2048GB in capacity.

@ eiffel :

Yeah I guess I could just write that the N900 works with all major network providers in the UK. I had to look at each carrier frequency-band and it took me a while so I decided to leave all the details.

@ GeneralAntilles :

I know what you mean. Some wikipedian have took upon themselves to guard articles against changes and will revert said changes without looking further. It can be a pain sometimes to edit Wikipedia ...

That is probably why I decided to add information to the N900 article right now, when the device is not well known of the public. I mean people are a lot more relax with edits made on "young" article (aka stub).

@ All those with a N900 :

Would you mind to take a high quality front facing picture of the physical keyboard (QWERTY, AZERTY, etc ...) and of the on-screen keyboard.

Thank you

couple of things,

768 MB swap is not "/swap" but just "swap".

~1 GB of ext3 is not mounted on /opt, but on /home. /opt is a symlink to /home/opt.

"The MicroSD card is formated as a FAT32 partition." eMMC is formated as a FAT32. MicroSD is of course what ever user puts there.

I could edit the wikipedia, but I but too lazy for that now :)

Re: The N900 Wikipedia Article
 

Unfortunately the retail-packaged N900 is not yet available, so getting a good picture for use in the article will not be possible until after release.

Re: The N900 Wikipedia Article
 

"The accelerometer can also be used in games and third-party applications such as Bounce which comes pre-loaded"

Bounce being pre-loaded is speculation. It is not listed anywhere to be pre-loaded.

"Premium services must be bought in order to get voice-guided navigation, traffic and safety camera information, premium travel content, 3D landmarks and weathe"

Voice guided navigation has not been announced AFAIK.

"Application development support" mentions C++, Qt and python, but not C/GTK+. Only C/GTK+ is actually officially supported for now.

Thanks !

Since I got you here what FS does Maemo 5 support ? That depends on the kernel right ? I have seen somewhere that Maemo 5 supports (most common) : ext2, ext3 (not ext4), FAT16, FAT32.

Updated section :

Re: The N900 Wikipedia Article
 

I think that the fs support is the same as in Maemo4.

While this is true, because /opt is linked to /home, it sounds wrong :) Wording should somehow still tell about the /opt, or don't tell anything about /home and /opt but just say "for extra applications". Actually that wouldn't be 100% correct either :)

Re: The N900 Wikipedia Article
 

Fair enough for bounce. Although, if memory serves well, there is a video where the Nokia representative says it comes pre-loaded. Can't remember which one so I will delete this part.

I will have to admit this is from extrapolation. The N900 website says it comes pre-loaded with Ovi Maps. When you go to the Ovi Maps it says you must buy a premium services (aka voice navigation). Where did you get this information ?

OK I will correct it.

Keep 'em coming ! :D

Plus UBIFS! Not sure about ext4.

Not a word about premium services or voice guided navigation.
