Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

Well, looks like this is the end of the road for Nokia, and a huge step backwards for open computing too. (sigh) The brand will probably be around on ever-more-commoditised devices for a while, but...

Proposal: a Manufacturers and/or Nokia forum

There are a number of posts in "General" which really have nothing to do with Maemo, they're really about various manufacturers' market share.

Could there be a separate forum for these kinds of...

Re: I would like to donate my $10 to the red cross by sms, but how?

Oh wait, I think I know what you might have done... scroll Conversations to the top of the screen if you've scrolled it down at all.

The buttons are at the top, above the most recently-updated...

Re: I would like to donate my $10 to the red cross by sms, but how?

There is a "New SMS" button at the top of the screen in Conversations, next to the "New IM" button.

It's not in the menu, it's at the top of the screen.

I'm not really sure how you could miss...

You don't even need to do that. You can start typing on the desktop and it will automatically open the contacts list at that letter.

Re: Constructive Criticism: what is is and what it ain't...

Some criticism is valuable, but some of it isn't.

Sorry, but I'm going to stop you right there because you're implying something that isn't true.

Re: Constructive Criticism: what is is and what it ain't...

Matan, thanks for giving a completely perfect example of what ISN'T constructive criticism:

Re: Missing emulators will be back at maemo.org

The number of downloads is only for Extras. Extras is disabled by default on most versions of the firmware, so most N900 users don't know about it and cannot access it by default.

That's why I did...

The thing that bothers me is when someone joins a forum and expresses nothing but contempt for the topic of that forum. Why do they join?

The point of the Maemo community, indeed any computing community, is to make software and hardware better. The best way of doing that is to say what works, what doesn't, and suggesting how problems...

Not really, cellular components are cheap and small and getting cheaper and smaller all the time. The extra cost of 3G would probably be something like 10% of the total price or less.
