Disabled, yes, but I suspect the hardware is identical down to that chip. The radio can probably be re-enabled with certain tools available in the Maemo repositories.

A forum member at the Hong Kong Maemo/Moblin/Meego User Group has confirmed that the FM Transmitter hardware is there and it can be enabled with FM Boost & FMTX Faker.

Thanks! I googled this: http://www.penpower.net/nokia/n900/Install.htm

After googletranslating and spending a while trying to understand the complicated installation guide, I found out the packages are actually in extras-devel!

mscim-n900-ppinputmethod
n900-locales-ppchinese (not sure what this one is for, its a dependecy of the above)

So I installed them and got 4 new methods for my mscim:
Chinese Pad
PINYIN Pad
Writing Pad
PINYIN Pad

The Chinese Pad is a virtual keyboard containing the strokes for chinese characters. I don't know how to use it though.

The first PINYIN Pad looks like regular mscim pinyin input (there may be some differences but I don't use googlepinyin much so I don't know).

The Writing Pad (which is what I suppose I'm interested in) and the second PINYIN Pad, however, just give me an error message: "Invalid IMEI. please visit http://www.penpower.net/nokia/n900". What the hell?? Apparently, this input method is limited to devices sold in Hong Kong?

What is this crap, Nokia?

Lets have a look at the package: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....0-2010042905/

Oh, its in the free repository, so the sources are available?? Well, after having a look inside the source tarball, I found only the binaries. I'm not too knowledgeable about the packaging system, but are the packages in free repo not supposed to be opensource?

Huh?

The leaked version is not the HK version. This was already disproved in another thread.

Re: Some Nokia N900 Hong Kong Edition Screenshots

What's the OS version of the HK N900?

The one posted by thread starter blog, it's exactly the same version as the leaked PR1.2

green melody, good taste!

Re: Some Nokia N900 Hong Kong Edition Screenshots

I don't get how nokia can sell the n900 in hk with the fm transmitter by simply dissabling it...

Surely that's a bit like selling illegal drugs but just saying you wont use them? Didn't Rockstar get done in the US for that hot coffee thing, sounds a bit similar. I know HK will have different laws but it's still and fm transmitter?

Also, awesome pics ;)

That's an invalid hostname (containing _) so a lot of people won't be able to resolve it.
