Thanks! I am trying to get Nokia N900 out of the box. It has new screen (not scratched! old "glass" was shedding small bits and pieces every time it was touched), now, and new screws, so it looks like new... If you ignore green rust-like stains on electromagnetic shielding...
But, the USB port remains broken. And battery charger did not survive such frequent usage: its wires fell apart. Maybe, it requires very simple soldering, but I do not have the tools to repair it. Maybe, a week later...
And a child wishes to use it for drawing. And the potential user knows how to use stylus, so I definitely need a screen protector which will be difficult to take off. Even better, armour. Like [post postid=418660]this one[/post].
An interesting question will be said person's computer literacy. Having taken battery and SIM card out of two other phones (multiple times) and put it back, the researcher will have no reason to not do the same to N900.
And backuping-updating the N900 device without a USB port in sight is the first challenge to be overcome.
Still, I am hoping that soon my N900 will not be gathering dust anymore.
Thank you.

You sure about that ;)

Neil is gone. Move along. But I still want to see him on board in the board. Or in some other capacity. Why not a regular user? Yep, that would work too.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] NOT retiring from Maemo Council and MC eV

Yes he stepped down :

I thought the mailing list were the official way to announce it

I miss him too, but let me bother him anymore ...

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] NOT retiring from Maemo Council and MC eV

He at least did what he wanted to do. I would probably do the same. But from a just-a-radnom-guy's perspective, if we are to keep this place alive we need to be healthy and some members here are not that "healthy". Again, I don't know much and don't keep an eye on everything but I just can't unsee some of the rude stuff on here.
