I am Emeryth. :)

I tried to post about my hack in the devices/N900 forum, but because it was my first post it's waiting for moderator approval :/

Anyway, I can answer all your questions here.

Thanks for keeping this beast alive. Look @ the comments on engadget. Mostly positive. N900 doesn't deserve to die.

(I'm willing to buy you one if you don't mind, and if it has a good price :D)

@Emeryth

Great work!!! Just yesterday i was looking your video on youtube!

Would you like to make some money?

What do you think about prepare a minimalist kit to sell here to the N900's enthusiasts?

...I suppose that many others (like me) would pay for this gadget!
