Hello man.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I'm not a maemo user but a ardent linux user who is looking for FOSS in everything. Looking for a n900 and posted a thread regarding that in Buy & Sell......:):):):):)

Re: New members say hello !
 

hi maemo lovers! I'm from portugal and I can't find a better phone than n900... Still love it!

Just bought a N900
 

... for under £100 inc postage. :)

Been waiting for price to drop. Was only afterwards I realised I could use it as a 3-way mobile/SIP/Skype phone. :cool:

Hardware is nice. Initial impressions of the UI weren't good - there needs to be a nice user intro video stickied in an obvious place. Scrolling was a PITA before installing the CSSA update(?) although I was using a fingernail.

I then tried to install Opera from an RPI file. Ouch, especially as I've never used Linux before.

Changed the theme to the yellower one and got used to the interface. Found Opera on the App Manager and suddenly we were away!

Adding non-default repositories was another PITA. How are new users even supposed to know they exist?

Installed the speedpatch et al and a few other UI improvements and am now very happy.

Just found this website,

I am about to jump on the Maemo (Meego) bandwagon and buy a Nokia N9. I had wanted an N900 but it didnt get 3G on my network so instead I got the N97 (huge mistake)

Anyways Im a Mechanical Engineer I work in the aerospace industry.

Glad I found this place

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi captainofiron,
Welcome at TMO!

you said you chose an n97 because you didn't have a 3G network? I don't get it.. You could still use WiFi or am i seeing it wrong?

Anyhow, i hope you'll learn much here end Happy new year ;)

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello guys, i'm new here, first of all sorry about my bad english (i'm from Hungary), i hope you can understand me :)

Let me introduce myself quckly. I'm mainly a gamer, i'm playing with fighting games (Tekken series, SF4, MK9, UMvC3) at tournament level, and i'm making combo videos out of these games. i'm playing with consoles since my childhood. I had only Nokia phones, because Symbian could handle a few emulators, like VNes and Picodrive.
I switched my shitty N97 (that phone was big disappointment) for a N900 about a year ago, and it's a whole new level... Damn this is a pocket PC, definitely my favourite phone of all time! Symbian is only a joke compared to Maemo. So emulators are necessary for me, i'm a huge fan of retro games and consoles. This phone was the perfect choice for me! I'm a Ps3 owner too, so i can use my joypad with the phone. Playing retro games with a Sixaxis on my Nokia? A dream comed true.
My hobbies are videogames and martial arts. I work as a security guard at a disco.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello everybody! Newbie is here, my new n900 acts strange now but I'm sure I'll get along with it :) Of course it may be my not-knowing a lot about Linux systems, but I'd like to learn something about it.
My previous phone is N95 and I also posses all Playstation consoles (I'm sorta fan of it) and I'm using PC on my home computer.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello, I'm a new n9 owner from Norway. Thought I'd stick my nose into this community and see what's happening. Please be kind to me!

I've been waiting for the n9 (thought it was the n950) for over a year. Originally wanted the n900 but it was too expensive, and still was 'till the bitter day they discontinued selling it. The only selling point Nokia has over me is that Linux in my pocket. Openmoko looks poor and Android wicked, Palm pre would be a fortune to import, thereby Meego wins by a long shot.

As you've guessed from the post above, i'm a Linux lover. GO OPEN SOURCE!!

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello,
I am a french swiss owner of N9 since few weeks and read this forum since then.
I use to own Palm, then switch to HTC Diamond before N97 mini symbian smartphone.

I wish a verry happy new year to all maemo.org members.

Re: New members say hello !
 

hi everyone,
I'm Tim from NJ and a big fan of N900, I have it for some time now.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello Everyone.

I'm Jayson from NY :) I have been reading quite a lot of stuffs on Maemo.org. Most of the time I want to reply but I did not bother to register but now I get to the point that I have to so I did.
I love your support on N900 although I never own one but as far as the posts go, I think it is way better than N9 in term of customization. I hope someday N9 will earn the same support but... we never know.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello,

i,m using the n900 (rev. 2104), thats a real good beast :cool: .

EDIT: Got a 2nd N900 last week... (rev. 2101) ^^

I Love Maemo5, linux too :)

Greetings from Germany

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi everyone,
I just bought my N900 a couple of weeks ago, and I love this device, been reading this forums since I found out about the N900, but never register until now.
I've already install CSSU, power Kernel, speedpatch, batterypatch (but I removed it, because it got me to boot loops), and many other cool stuff, I also download (on my computer running Debian) QTCreator I'm not an experimented developer but I would like to program some stuff and try it out on the N900, so if you guys can point me in the right direction about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello! Have been lurking for quite some time, as I was a fan of the N900, though wasn't able to own one. I'm using an N9 currently.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi,
I came from germany and got a N900 device on ebay lol. I am running serveral linux machines at home and I am doing all my private stuff with linux, too. Therefore i wanted to check this out. Since I am playing the mmorpg Eternal Lands my plan is to try a port of this game to Maemo - if I get the time. There is not much of it bc I have 2 kids and a job ^^

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi. My name is Tiago and I bought an N9.

I had pondered buying an N900 but they were too expensive at the time and I bought a used N95 instead. But in June I was smitten by Marko Ahtissari's unveiling of the N9 and said to myself "oh dear, I don't like iOS, I don't like Android, I hate WP7, this is it, my first touchphone").

Of course, I was heartbroken when Elopcame immediately saying the N9 was dead and then even more when I found out TMO and FMC, that the N9 is not really Maemo but not MeeGo enough. I'm also at FMC with the same username.

I'm not a developer but I like to tinker. I can help, for example, by doing localizations for Portuguese (European). And I hope to provide constructive criticism. Just bear with me if I lash out about the N900 having so much cool stuff and feeling left out with the N9, please. Sorry in advance. :p

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello i'm from Vienna and i will get my n900 device tomorrow.

I'm Not a Linux User (Mac ) but i hope i'll Get along with this great Smartphone/Minicomputer

Are there any hints for a New User?

Which Apps are a Must
Which Tweaks / Hacks are Necassary?

Or is it better to explore the N900 a few days before Tweak it (battery, speed, cssu) an live with the Out of Box Features?

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi - My name is Nathan. I have been a member and mostly lurker here for quite a while, but I think I am going to try to start getting more active on the forums here.

I am encouraged by the number of new members despite Nokia's recent change in course away from open mobile computing. I am hoping we can keep the N900 moving forward, and I want to be a part of that (despite not being a programmer).

I love the concept of Community Updates and I would like to participate in testing, documentation, etc. to help new N900 users get the most from this unique device.

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi all,

I'm Rajit and I'm currently in the US (although I travel back to Canada quite often).

I'm about to be the owner of an N9 (hopefully this evening) and I can't wait! I'm by no means a programmer/geek .. just have a lust for new gadgets. The N9 has seduced me and I'm sure that even with its limited apps (not a big app user or gamer), I'll have a unique beauty!

Cheers all!

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi everyone

Just picked up a fresh Black N9 last weekend (from pacific mall for those of you in Toronto) for $500 CDN. I love this thing...it is miles ahead of anything else in terms of UI and is very unique. Hoping to use this forum as a good resource for N9 related info. I haven't checked my product code yet, but my phone wanted to update as soon as I put in my microSIM, so now I'm using PR 1.1.

Go MeeGo!!

Previously I was using the N8 on Nokia Belle, but it died after serious water damage :( I miss it.

I'm the only one I know around town that's using this phone - so it makes it extra special :)

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good shield for this phone? I'm super paranoid about scratching/dropping it, and I want the best protector out there. I really like the case that Nokia packages with the phone, it fits perfectly. I'm considering a zagg or ITG shield, thoughts?
