Thank you. Additional keyboard shortcuts are welcome. So, to call a phone, it would be: ctrl+shift+l, h, Fn+<numbers>?
Is it possible to connect N900 to a Linux computer in a USB network without touching the screen? Just with keyboard shortcuts? If yes, then how?
I am also planning to test Saera later. "Talkative" mode helps when the screen doesn't show anything, and speech recognition is an added bonus.

Of parrot? Sure. If You mean flex, though, no, thanks - after all, there are only so much way You may rip off a flex, and they look quite the same, most of the times ;)

Do you have photos of parrot eating flex cable?
Best wishes.
Edit: Here is a photo of parrot who could have easily ripped a cable, given an opportunity.

This is what happens, when you leave aspiring Parrot engineer with set of screwdrivers (PH and Torx), N900, and opened cage.

FWIW, just today I replaced a broken flex cable in my N900. About ~15€ for spare one, a bit of patience, a really tiny screwdriver, and it's completely doable in about an hour without prior experience.

In case anyone needs N900 part, I have a eMMC broken N900 sitting in my drawer + one extra LCD part. I'm willing to part it out, flexible pricing :)

PM me if interested.

Bought it on Polish online auctioning website. There are plenty of service points which sell spare parts there; in your case you should probably try ebay :)

The thing I bought
