    Carphoneware House is supposed to be the best repair shop in the UK. But the warranty is not covered with them because I bought the N900 from Nokia store directly. Now that Nokia store has closed down I might not have a choice but to pay the amount they ask.
    I don’t trust sending my phone to Nokia because anything can happen on the way.

    For instance, mine is Version 2.2009.51-1.203.2
    Mine is the same as the above but it doesn't show in the OS package

    At the time he bought* the phone, I was reading everything on the internet written by anyone who knew anyone who had at all heard about the N900. There was nothing - absolutely not a word - about this phone having weak spots on basic phone functionality. Such info was very hard to get by before December, January.

    Such is the life of early adaptors. If you buy too early, you only know about the stuff that excites people.

    If your phone is covered under warranty aren't there Nokia service shops you can physically take your device into? Locking up and rebooting is not something I signed up for (there is a reason why I quit Symbian), if my phone was doing that I would definitely be as upset/unsatisfied as the OP. My point was that my n900 doesn't do any of that, sorry if I came across as unsympathetic.

    Why couldnt your first post actually have contained a question or issue simply put and a request for help as opposed to a list of whines. You get out what you put in.

    @Maemo900
    Just ignore the ignorant fanboys mate .Once i had learned to do it,browsing these forums became much more enjoyable .I'd like to comment on some of your cons.
    The touch screen-in this case the ressistive touchscreen is much better because of its accuracy while browsing,in other areas it can be annoying but u'll get used to it.
    Portrait mode-again its not really that bad because its a tablet,and its much easier to organize your homescreens,and for the features where portrait mode is necessary,the portrait mode is present.
    Unstable OS-definetly unstable,its not even as closely as polished as the other operating systems.And not to mention the countless graphical bugs.

    I'm always amazed by these comments. I have owned my phone for 6-7 weeks, OS is rock solid for me, never seen any graphical bugs and I throw all sorts of -testing and -devel apps onto it.

    Some of the apps themselves are a bit flaky, but mainly the ones which have not been ported properly.

    My only gripe with Nokia where I feel I have been mis-sold is with OviMaps, otherwise I love this phone.

    I got rid of my iPhone 3GS and Nokia E72 because I really like the N900. The pros and cons is my opinion and I’m still sticking to it. But that doesn’t bother me apart from the battery issue and the other faults my N900 has. Other than that I think it’s a great device.

    So I’m sorry if I have p!ssed people off.

    We have great moderators on this forum, but why hasn't this thread been merged already? What is so compelling about the OP's original post that this thread needs to remain front and center? I'll answer my own question: Nothing. Mods, please do some merge magic.

    It is called "mafw-gst-eq-renderer-MGR". You can download it from Garage, then follow the instructions here and here.
