Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

No they tried to add the N900, but they got an NULL reference instead as it is still not available for sale :D

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

I just wish they sent a confirmation, you know, a 'we got your letter, we're working on it' or sorts...

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Hahaha. Like Oracle Solaris. Just doesn't roll well with the tongue. How about Oracle Ocarina... or... Oracle Origami... or...

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

... or Oracle-ION (if they bought NVIDIA) ? :-)
that would be a-mazing...

Note to self : learn from the professionals. When pressed for a date, always leave an escape hatch by omitting some detail : year, month, or week... depending on the circumstances :-)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

I didn't get the question sorry...

You're talking about passing your loaned device to someone else?
In this case probably whoever gets it needs to sign the loan agreement and probably Nokia should prepare a new document where it states that you don't have it anymore..

Hey, the default English keyboard is just fine with me: after all, it is one of the few that have still got all four arrow keys :)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Apparently, the devices will sport only the international keyboard:

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

FWIW,

looks like they're processing them now.. I got an email stating they couldn't find my ID and asked me to fill in some form (I probably missed it before).

Ernesto, the Italian layout is useless anyway :D
For accented letters just use something like : a' e' i' o' u'
:)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

I'll try to hack something though. Maybe some kind of daemon which automagically changes a' in à, e' in è and so on... (except when in xterm of course).

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

so you got an answer already? no reply so far here... hope my mails weren't blocked by their spam filters. - well, I'll wait another day or two.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Just tried switching to ITA layout, you do get some accented letters, but I only found e,i,o...
So, useless...

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

I only read the first couple of pages of this so apologies if it's already been mentioned.

What Nokia really needs is some sort of way for developers to obtain final/near final hardware before the consumer release. I'm sure this is already possible if you're a large company with various agreements with Nokia but the development market has changed significantly towards smaller players. Cheaper hardware etc in return for contributions and such is nice but in reality nobody is going to do it just for that.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Yup, well give them their time.

I sent my email on the

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

This is a bit of problem with any of the Fn symbols, since the spanish layout has every one of them changed. So I guess I'll just do a "pseudo" english-spanish layout or something like that.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

15:21 here.... plus I'm an hour ahead of you, right? ;)

Still... I leanred in another thread here that waiting is actually a good thing. ;)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Haven't got any email yet. I'm not sure if the forum reg. worked correctly. I registered with the link provided and filled in the form in the other link, and now whenever I click that link I get in as the ID I selected. However, if I just go to to forum.nokia.com and try to log in as that ID it fails.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Perhaps they went in alphabetical order :) beating "anidel" is quite hard :p

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

They sent me this link to fill in a form to register for a free company account:

https://sso.forum.nokia.com/login?se...ount.do%3Fnull

Login with your password and fill it in, maybe it'll help them.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Heh, 'achipa' is even harder to beat :D Alas, still waiting for the response (though I think I registered later on in the evening).

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Then they also went for nickname coolness :P

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Today I have received reply to question I asked 17 October with apologies for the late reply. So they are aware we noticed they are lagging.

The delay for confirmation may also be related to the general delay of N900.

I don't mind the delays of Nokia N900 product release, I just want to order and pay my device so my part of the sale is finalized, because I've also been asked to confirm a pre-order.

That the device is then shipped 1 November or 30 November I don't mind much. I know Nokia won't pull a Pandora by claiming they'll ship on Novembre 31. ;)

(On an unrelated note, Nokia suing Apple, Mozilla Fennec on Maemo, Nokia delaying N900 have been reported extensively in news past days.)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

sharper: about 30 community developers got a loaned prototype and then 300 Maemo Summit participants got a loaned device as well.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

I received email that let me know the N900 is enabled on my account and that they will send me an email "very soon" letting me know I can fill my order.

Good times...:D

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

anyone else recibed this e-mail?

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

no e-mail so far :(

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Not yet here either.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Me neither... 10 days and counting...

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Not received here, either.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

jandmdickerson got a phishing e-mail!

Did they say that the n900 was "enabled on your account" if you logged in to a special web page to confirm your password and bank information?

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

See email pasted below.

Hi John,

thank you for your email.
N900 is enable to your account.
We will inform by email once the device is available in our service after which you can fill in the order.
That should be very soon.

Brgds, Nora
DDP-team

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

No soup for me either...

I did precisely as I was instructed... and nothing more.

I didn't put any other text in the email.

BTW, I have been on my best behavior ever since I sent it too. I even combed my hair and made sure my shirt was tucked in before responding to this thread... :eek:

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Hmm, I signed up and sent my request per Quim just yesterday, and today I received:

(I didn't brush my hair first or do anything like that before sending, but I did tell the recipient, whoever she would be, if she would be a she, since I didn't yet know it was specifically Nora, that I was certain she was very attractive and that in order to please her I had recently given up smoking. Perhaps that's why I heard back so promptly?)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Does this mean that all mails sent on the same Friday Quim gave the signal have been lost, and we should re-send them ? :-)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Maybe they send you that mail if you hassle them. After all, it is a gentle request to be patient and wait for their e-mail "once the device is available."

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Well, if so, a simple acknowledgement (as in, "we got your mail, just sit tight till you get our next one") would have saved everybody a lot of teeth-gnashing and hair-pulling... :-)

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Nora is getting to be very popular!

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

Agreed, did the mail get caught in the spam filter somewhere? Was the username accepted? Closed loop feedback. Makes the world go around (or at least my world).

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

This means what? Does it advance the subject any? The feeling I'm getting from some of the recent posts in this thread is that there are people like myself who are afraid they that either they:

-Did not understand the instructions and responded incorrectly.

-Or, for whatever reason, were not on the list that maemo.org provided or have since been determined to have not met the requirements.

Perhaps we were not verbose enough in our replies and did not establish a rapport with "Nora" or whoever. Or as I hope, this is not a normal duty for those assigned to verify this information and they are doing it as they can while maintaining their "normal" pre launch work load.

I know I do not want to be a PITA to the people responsible for this benefit as I'm sure they have their hands full this close to the launch.


Can you as a Council member help us out with some useful info here?

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors
 

That N75 on the eStore is starting to look mighty tempting... ;)

Some sort of feedback would be nice - like YoDude I have no idea if the details I submitted in the email were satisfactory, or if the email was received at all.
