Wishlist for nokia n900
 

Green phone and red phone button to accept and reject calls and to start phone app. This is like the most important feature i need.

Open office port.

Port of Dalvik and android store, should not be tooo hard but will instantly give us thousands of apps.

Better keyboard. AKA more like G1 or at least 5 rows.

Built in VPN support for at least pptp, cisco

Built in support for SyncML.

Native port of putty.

Full port of all common linux command line tools like nslookup, mc, wget, bash, grep etc in one installable package.

More debian support.

Decent call list.

Vibrate phone when the call starts ( when you dial you do not have to put the phone on your head to hear rings, just put it when the phone vibrates like the newer G1 )

What? Why? Putty is a hack-wannabe of the real OpenSSH which the N900 already has... You just wanting a GUI?

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

Open office port. - look this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...489#post429489

Native port of putty. - OpenSSH but without GUI

Full port of all common linux command line tools like nslookup, mc, wget, bash, grep etc in one installable package.: Except "mc" all of them work under rootsh. "mc" is absent on ubuntu by default.

More debian support. - It is easy to recompile any packages (except graphics). look this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ght=openoffice

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

Even better, my current version of OpenOffice running under LXDE ;)

And come on, wget and bash and that stuff is all right there in the repositories, just apt-get install them... And grep is built-in...

And what does "more debian support" mean, exactly?

(BTW: nice to see you back, fatalsaint!)

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

I'll be happy with abiword/gnumeric or koffice. Not that I really need them. I tend to use LaTeX or such like to do all my docs. Another thing I'd like is evince so I could view any document.

Which would run on what??? Rember no java here.

No comment

vpnc in extras somewhere, openvpn in extras somewhere, pptp I guess that's the one thing missing. Shouldn't be to hard though.

Techincally it's there but only over BT atm.

Why for the love of all that is holy would you want a second rate ssh client when you have openssh or dropbear and a proper terminal.

grep - check
bash - check
mc - in extras check
nslookup - check
wget - check

Anything else... check

It's dead easy to build your own if you need as well :)
More debian support.

I guess you mean call log. Would be nice.

Hmm I remember an app for the S60 that did something like this. Probably dooable in a similar way that a record my calls app could be.


So most of this is a no-op or a no-brainer.

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

WTF !? was reading the list and began to think the op might be a troll, and then I read "Native port of putty" and then i was sure.

seriously, wtf !?

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

umm, you mention the package with "wget", where is IT?!

i wanna compile stuff on my n900, but i need wget!

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

You really shouldn't compile things on it. Use the SDK to do so. But it's at this location:
pool/fremantle/free/w/wget/wget_1.10.2-2osso3_armel.deb

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

just type "apt-get install wget" as root.
it's part of the Extras repository, it just isn't listet in the GUI.

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

I need portraitmode!

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

Why putty,
Because it can save a list of servers easily and their settings.
Because on my G1 I can EASILY create desktop shortcuts of individual servers via putty.

As for the rest of the command line utils, thanks for all for letting me know where to get them.

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

Why am I a troll just for wanting putty. I love putty. Get over it. I am not a troll, some people may have other preferences than you do. The current putty client that works with n900 was for older maemo devices not the n900 so there are some quirks.

I think you are a troll. The above are my wish list, granted some are there and I did not know that on the second day I got my N900.

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

Yes most of the required command line are there but each in its separate package, on linux there are many useful commands that are insalled by default that is what I want the full versions of the commands either installed by default or grouped in one apt-get package to get them all at once. If there is such a package or meta package enlighten me.

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900

top developers pushing the boundaries for 3d games, and nice puzzle type games- not horrid ports..

louder mic (my gf talks to quiet to be fair)

bet fair poker install

Re: Wishlist for nokia n900
 

N900 has the best call-log ever. It's called SQLite. very good at keeping the Mrs from seeing who I phoned.

Great hacker phone. Now we just need a way to dial in hexadecimal.
