Re: N900 Tips & Tricks
 
Unless things have changed in Maemo 5, the application manager will automatically do apt-get clean for you. It's only when you're doing manual operations that you could end up with files in /var/cache/apt/archives/
that can be removed with apt-get clean. It is, in any case, a safe operation though. The only reason to leave files there would be if you wanted to re-install something without having a network connection (it could read the .deb from the cache).

Ctrl + Right Arrow = Move cursor to next text-input box. Cursor must be in an input box to begin with.

Ctrl + Left Arrow = Move cursor to previous text-input box. Cursor must be in an input box to begin with.

Also, setting your username to "nuknuk" will kill your microphone.

Someone mentioned you can set up the phone so when you change from panoramic to portrait the phone automatically goes into the phone application. Anyone have the steps to do this?

Slightly off topic... People say type this in root command (i'm a noob...) Where's the root command?

It's the Terminal

Also they mentioned root, I believe they meant running as the command as root

Something I just discovered. If your N900 is unlocked, double clicking the power button will lock the screen and keyboard no matter where you're at.
