I offer myself as developer if..
 

If you send me one of those fantastic n900s! :D
I'd really like to contribute, but I'm just a poor linux user who cannot afford such a phone.
Nokia could give n900 for free to people who make good apps to be more competitive than apple!;)

Re: I offer myself as developer if..
 

... but if you were any good as a developer then you'd be able to afford one. It's a very clever ploy by Noia to keep the riff-raff out.

Re: I offer myself as developer if..
 

Then contact Nokia about your offer? I am sure they are interested.

Re: I offer myself as developer if..
 

i think they'll need more convincing than just a forum post
maybe try linking to your past linux work etc

Re: I offer myself as developer if..
 

You don't need a real phone for development.
To do it you need just the SDK. ;-)

Re: I offer myself as developer if..
 

Many people got a free N900. Even prototypes. But they first wrote cool applications - then they got rewarded.
You can do a lot with the SDK already.

The tags on this thread crack me up.

Re: I offer myself as developer if..
 

what apps would you make?

if you are based in the US, there is a Push N900 US based competition just opened which is looking for people to come up with innovative hardware hacks involving the n900.

put a small team together with a proposal and enter, winners get assisted funding and obviously hardware to bring their ideas to life on.

Re: I offer myself as developer if..
 

yeah send me one, I will port apps too :confused:

Re: I offer myself as developer if..

I also don't have an N900... didn't stop me from developing a PyQt4 for it.

The SDK works fine... get some people on here to try the Deb's.. then put them into Extras.

I mean.. if you're truly interested in the community...

ETA: OTOH.. If Nokia decides to offer.. Sign me up! :D

I'm thinkin' of offering myself as a Porn Star IF, they offer me Jessica Alba as my co star. :)
