I need a platform to survey my "neighborhood" for device comms. I'd like to figure out who's on my network, in my Bluetooth vicinity, and using GSM/radio to communicate. I'd love to use the N900.

Re: Nokia N900 problem with magnatic fields
Oh yeah. You have to test a lot of cases. I finally found one -- a cheap off brand -- with a lightly weaker magnet that seems to work. Most cases have a stronger magnet that will set off the N900....

Why Only 2 Profiles on the N900?
On the N900, there are only two profiles: Silent and General. And I have not found a way to create more.

Re: N900 not till Jan 2010 on Tmobile USA!!!!!

Re: N900 not till Jan 2010 on Tmobile USA!!!!!
I have the $9.99 plan from TMo. I can access ssh ports, update OMWeather, etc. Seems open to most ports I have tried.
