I knew a guy who was addicted to sniffing brake fluid, he said the same thing.

I really understand you. I bought my N900 in May 2010 and addicted to this site. Sometimes I want to sell my N900 so that I can concentrate on my work!

amazing to see many people similar... atleast not on a boat alone...


Btw, was a forum lurker before. joined one month ago when i faced problems with nitdroid installation.

As I see, this will only get more obsessive with next week's launch of N9 :mad:

*raises hand*
Hello my name on this forum used to be giladmttw and I'm and addict.
I bought my N800 three years ago and visited this forum every day since then. When I got the N800 I decided to try and not use any other computer but the device for all my activities. At first it was hard, some websites were not supported well, I couldn't send job applications, couldn't check flights, edit documents in hebrew, important stuff. Well a week turned into a month which turned into two years of tweaking my device to perfection, and by the end of the second year I had the perfect device.
Which stopped booting six month ago.
I was in shock. I decided to go for the N900 and got mine about a month ago. Or is it two ? Don't know, lost track of time, check my join date.
Sometimes I asked myself what's so important here. Why not just put the device in your pocket and do something else, something real.
Well after losing my tablet I know that this is something real, it is a real part of my life. I use it all the time to download movies for family, check up on stuff for family and communicating, all important stuff, it may look like a toy but it's not.
Yesterday I compiled a program in easy chroot and left it running over night to check for stability. In the mornning I found the desktop crashed. I was very sad to see that. My own sweat and blood program crashing my beloved hildon-desktop ? I really wanted it to work so I could give something back to the community. Thank you all the devs and users, love this place.

I have locked myself in my bedroom constantly refreshing nokia's website page regarding the status of my n900's repair.I live in hope everytime I press F5 the status changes from "in repair" to "repaired"


I live in hope! please pray for my N900. I thinks it's time for my half hourly F5 refresh of Nokia repair website wish me luck!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder!!!

I have a love-hate relationship with TMO: on one hand the community driven development is absolutely addicting, on the other, watching these brilliant minds collaborate (CSSU, NITDroid, h-e-n, themes, mods etc etc) makes me feel so f**king stoopid.

Ok, so it's more of a love-love relationship.

back in the days, there was a discussion at t.m.o about marketing slogans for the n900. some of them were pretty clever. too clever for their own good even.

You know what scares me, is that the N9 is going to be a reality pretty soon here, and like when I had my N810, I wasn't that bent on getting a N900, but then I realized all the current up to date stuff that goes on in this forum, I'd be on the outside looking in. I couldn't have that, so I sacrificed and put away money every week so I could get the N900 upon release.

My purchase was forum driven, because I haven't seen a better collected group of intelligent (for the most part :-P ), enthusiastic, contributers to a device than this place.

I got an android for work, and have you seen the clusterf*ck that is the android community. This place is amazing I've gotten better answers in the off-topic and competitors threads on here than I have on dedicated Android forums.

So guess what, I'm totally getting the N9 and as I explained to my gf last night when she asked why, because I check this forum everyday and without the newest device I'll feel left out. She didn't get it and rolled her eyes at me and called me a dork, but yeah I'm totally a dork for few things in my life, pro wrestling, comic books, and mameo/meego devices are on my very very short list :-)
