Re: N900 or what else?
So sad that a phone released in 2009 has no replacement a full 3 years later. I'll be gutted if that's still the case when mine dies.

Re: Crazy mounting **** all over the place!!!!
The blocks are not actually 1KB on the DOS filesystem (I think that's just how df is displaying the free space). Create a new 1-byte file and you'll see 64 '1k blocks' disappear.

Re: [REQUEST] Sygic Mobile Maps for N900 Review
probably you have not unpacked the Maps, Res and Drive directories directly to the root of MyDocs, e.g. 'MyDocs/Res', 'MyDocs/Drive' etc.

Re: N900 Screen Sluggish
I usually reboot my N900 after about a week of uptime, otherwise everything gets pretty sluggish.
