Re: Firmware 1.3 on its way????

One issue with dual boot is incoming SMS (less so call logs, or email via IMAP) -- since these are more like POP3 and deleted from the source once received.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!

Re: IS Nokia Aware of the PR 1.2 problems

I also flashed emmc+base, then restored 80+ apps. There's some minor bugs but overall it's fine. Browser is responsive etc.

I'd second the suggestion to try a full backup (and copy to another...

Re: help!!! Moved from leaked PR1.2 to the original today,problem with conversations and calls history!!!

I have no experience of the modified FW, but perhaps you could do a "clean" flash of both firmware and eMMC as per http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

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

Re: HK N900 running 10.2010.12-9. Is this the PR 1.2?

WHat's frustrating to me with this whole PR 1.2 discussion is not so much when it will be released, but rather the fact we have these large monolithic releases at all.

Re: Problems with N900 USB port becoming broken / loose and resulting warranty & repair issues

At this point there's no evidence that any repaired/replacement N900s are any better than the original.

So obviously if you have a failed device you want a replacement, but looks as if there's a...

Re: How many of you changed carriers just for the N900?

I guess we're fortunate in UK/Europe that mobile telephony has been pretty standardized for many years (since GSM). This has led to a very progressive market.
