Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

Yeah that's another issue. N900 is the shortest-lived PDA device i've owned over the last 13 years. My Zaurus SL-C860 lasted 5 years and if i hadn't spilled water on it in the lab and ruined a couple...

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

Yeah the Neo900 is out of my price range and it's not available now, so there are two strikes against it. Furthermore, it will still be dog slow with that hardware. After playing around with this...

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

Alright. I bought a MyTouch 4G Slide off Ebay for around $75. It has two years newer hardware tech than the N900 and is one of the last QWERTY slider phones of any quality that will work on my...

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

Hmm just doesn't seem a good match except for the notetaking aspect. Too big for my taste but i'll see if i can find a friend that has one and give it a try.

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

I've been reading reviews of Blackberry OS 10 and it induces a bit of deja vu from when i discovered Maemo. Talk of how it's a much more secure and sophisticated OS, etc.

Interesting comment i...

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

I can understand the sentiment, and was willing to do that when it was a newer device and the "next model" was expected in the near future, but with the product line essentially dead and the...

What have former N900 owners moved to?

So i've been through 1.9 N900s. Both began their decline with a connection problem in the screen/backlight (something in that connection seems to be especially susceptible to high humidity), but the...

Re: [Maemo 5] MAME [WIP] (Formerly SDLMAME)

Actually, i think that's what i tried to do for the SDLMAME --> MAME transition (option one in that link). IIRC, the problem is exactly the caveat described there in the link: the maemo apt handlers...

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47

You can buy a new N900 and hope that its processor handles voltages it wasn't advertised to work at. The very underlying premise of overclocking/undervolting is that some processors perform better...

Re: Should MeeGo developers continue to publish info on this forum for maemo users (wrt Nokia device support)?

That's a reasonable criticism that i can appreciate. Thanks for your post.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

Hi MartinK

I was put off by modrana not being vector-based originally (and was trying to use Navit at the time because it IS). I don't have a data plan, so the ability to have everything stored...

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47

I did (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1006557&postcount=569) "apt-get install fcam-driver". If that doesn't fix it then i'm afraid i'm out of ideas, sorry.

I voted "other" because i wanted to qualify it: there's a Meego/Harmattan subforum and an Alternatives subforum. That's exactly where that kind of information can and should be posted.
