Re: Nokia n900 for $199 from NokiaUSA

The problem is that Nokia is not trustworthy in fulfilling those rebates. I did not receive my N900 rebate or a rebate on my N95 (despite properly filling everything in). After half a dozen phone...

Re: fcamera Thread (Bugs, Ideas..etc)

I always shoot Raw + JPEG on my Nikon DSLRs. The RAWs give me much greater latitude for post-processing tom-foolery, but it is handy to have the JPEGs for immediate posting to web galleries, social...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] MediaBox Media Center 2010.06.26 is out for N900, N800, N810

Thanks a bunch! MediaBox, imo, has replaced Canola as the best overall media player for Maemo, especially on the N900 where Canola is currently a major WIP. Some thoughts/suggestions:

- I love...

Re: Ovi Store Update

Today I purchase my first app through Ovi Store, Morpho Quick Panorama Pro for $3 and change. It only took Nokia 6 months to deliver on "coming soon."

Nokia has nominally "caught up" with where...

Re: N900 five month sales less than 100,000, really?

Yeah, and what does that mean, Quim? Are you trying to claim 10.9 million separate downloads? Does each update to an app count as a separate download? Surely Nokia knows how many devices it has sold....

Re: PR1.2 Privacy breach?

Nokia really needs to make an official statement regarding this issue. To me, this represents a clear breach of trust of privacy. I've for years bought unlocked Nokia GSM phones and used them with...

Re: PR1.2 Privacy breach?

I installed PR 1.2 via the command line flash tool. I don't recall any dialogs asking me about this. It was only after reading this article that I checked in settings and found that it was defaulted...

Re: IS Nokia Aware of the PR 1.2 problems

Re: MeeGo available for Nokia N900 after all, probably no official ROM??? Whats happening In or OUT!!!

It appears that Nokia is using the N900 as a test bed / developer device to get it ready to ship officially on a future phone. There will not be an official commercial release of Meego for the N900....

Re: Official: No MeeGo for the N900

You act as if porting an OS to a device is an easy task. Maemo, despite a surface appearance of openness, contain quite a few closed source components without which huge chunks of basic functionality...

Re: Official: No MeeGo for the N900

Re: Here Is Why The PR 1.2 Firmware For The Nokia N900 Is Late

Well, to me the lack of a significant firmware update to date shows a lack of commitment to THIS DEVICE that is worrisome given the pattern of releases on previous Maemo devices. Nokia has tended to...

Re: [Maemo 5] We need more apps! Why aren't there more applications in Ovi and Extras?

Re: Eye-fi with N900

The N900 has a decent 5 MP camera of its own and good integration with online photo services like Flickr. I usually forgo carrying around a dedicated pocket digicam.

Re: Wizard Mounter v. 1.0 RELEASED!

Is there an update to this for Fremantle/N900 somewhere? I would really like to be able to easily mount windows file shares rather than go the rsync route.
