aging cpu and lack of ram

but... if you consider when it came out...more than 2 years ago... you forgive its shortcomings.

come to think about it from the 2009 smartphones , only two are pretty good for today's use.
i am talking about the N900 and the HD2

all the others are in the grave (i 3gs, omnia hd, n97, milestone, omnia pro etc etc)

Practical and breakthrough applications that make mobile internet a handy tool is what I'm missing and will never have in N900 apparently.

I am talking about ebanking apps, bill paying apps and some very useful ar apps like Layar.

We've had a small taste in the early days and even promises that such apps would come to N900 (hell they were presenting them on a N900) but as we all here know such thing never happened. :(

Appart from the commercial big s/w houses app development I think my N900 is still browsing much better than most of the competition, except maybe the dual core ones.

Sorry mate, I meant that when I flashed my device I used an image that gave me a 5gb eMMC partition for App installation space over the standard 2gb.

Re: N900 in 2012
 

if you are gonna reflash and wanna start semi-clean you can use

dpkg --get-seletions before to get a list of your installed packages,
pipe to a text file,
delete lines of stuff you don't want,
save it somewhere else off device
flash
move text file back
use dpkg -set-selections piping text file back in



oh yeah, you might need to setup repositories before too

Another vote here for rockbox. I don't know why it is so obscure.
