Thanks for that. I'm hoping that someone still creates an easier system - I like to backup via bluetooth to my home server automatically. I too can't wait for someone to make a simple system to do so.

I am posting from my N900. It is much better than I expected. The screen is amazing. The keyboard is great. Maps are better than expected and useable. The IM client is amazing. Email is so much better than my E90.

Really? The maps are terrible and unusable in my opinion. I tried doing a simple search today: "Howard and Lafayette, NYC" and it failed. I can't give it intersecting streets to find a location? Rubbish.

I used to have an E90... it had a native Google Maps for it... awesome Yes, email is much nicer than E90.

I can't imagine bluetooth would be fast. SCP over an ssh maybe. Depending on when I get my n900 and how busy I am with work I'll write up a guide on backing up the n900 though. Shouldn't be to hard if we can do it the same way we did the n800.

first hour with my brand new n900 and first post from the device.
So far everything is really really good. I have just watched a youtube video and it run very smoothly.

I was thinking about a cron that utilized wifi and smb, and tar.

Maybe a silly question but what's the reason for preferring Gmail mobile vesion over the "normal" version?

It's optimized for small screen and some of the eye candy is skimmed off

Awesome idea!

Could actually be an app though, where you set conditions for automagical updating.

I'd go for something like 03:00 each day, if in home network and if plugged in the wall/charging.
