Re: AT&T just bought T Mobile USA for 36 billion ! what do you think it means to us that use tmo??

They won't have to bother, they are killing the 3g frequencies that the n900/t-mobile use and re-purposing it for their 4g rollout.

There will be no 3g for n900's in the US if the deal goes...

Re: 5 things in PR 1.4 that would make N900 the best phone up to date.

Anyone want to resell some Pre games under first sale doctrine?

Will the pre store allow you to purchase the same app multiple times?

Re: What works better in the PR1.2

No prob, I've been running plain on pr1.1 with these enabled since it came out without any noticeable issues. So should be pretty safe to leave on.

Certainly safer than overclocking anyway :)

Are there any plans for DSP accelerated HTML5 video tag support in Web Runtime? Because that would be really sweet and a *much* better alternative to flash from a performance/overhead perspective.

Re: [Under consideration] Call recording for N900

Thanks for this mod, the code doesn't look bad either.

FLAC format opens up much more options for this as a general recorder (the mic is pretty decent).

I will attempt to use this to record a...

Re: N900 hardware improvements (N900i)

Only (minor-ish) hardware changes I could really ask for would be:

1. Sturdier microUSB female port mounting
2. More Battery Capacity
3. More RAM (Never hurts to have more RAM)
4. D-Pad
5....

Re: How sturdy is the USB port?

That's why I'm curious as to how the 810's port is mounted.

Given that the 810 had a separate charging port, the USB port would not have seen as much use.

If that's the case, a surface mount...

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!

Given how weakly mounted the USB port seems to be I'm not so sure you want to be connecting/disconnecting peripherals much from it regardless:

Re: How sturdy is the USB port?

(Nearly) All connectors are cheap.

It's the mounting/lack of bracing here that's the issue.
