Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)
What SYSTEM? Sure, it has all of those things but ultimately it doesn't get beyond a nerd toy because of a) the lack of competent apps and b) the lack of sometimes really basic fit & finish in the...

Re: Boost N900! :)
Good luck. Someone else will have to test the revised script for distortion as I've decided to bug out of N900 ownage. If anyone needs tips on testing, PM me.

Nokia N900 for sale (London, UK)
Time to bug out. I've been using it simply as a nerd toy for the last couple of months - and it has little practical use ultimately for me. I didn't want to sell it since the resale loss is...

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
Ah yes, the journey vs the destination debate :p
My own thoughts are that a pocket computer should be able to do far more - and that a smartphone should be way more no-brainer.

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
Actually if anyone asks, I always say "You really don't want this phone".
It's half-steath-patronisation (seriously, you'll have no idea how to use this properly) and half-heading-off (seriously,...

Re: FLAC handling - a few questions
Yeah it is isn't it - you'd logically expect a measurement directly from the headphone socket to be better.
However, the N900 has separate volume modes for headPHONE and headSET, and my suspicion...

Re: Boost N900! :)
This is kind of the problem in gauging whether it's a hardware issue, I'd neglected the N900 a bit in terms of audio listening before I upgraded to PR1.3 and got more into using QSpot and gPodder -...

Re: Boost N900! :)
There's no risk to the N900 - it just means that boosting the gain introduces even more distortion into the mix - to a level even beyond the serious amounts already present on the N900 (at least with...

Re: Boost N900! :)
You don't want to see them - The standard N900 sound is bad enough.

Re: FLAC handling - a few questions
Just RMAA'd on a fairly casual basis - a 32-ohm load in the audio chain (iPod earphones), N900 set to full volume, iPhone 4G matched to that volume.
It does NOT look pretty - the iPhone blows...

Re: FLAC handling - a few questions
Yup, I can't disagree with your post. Transcoding isn't, unfortunately however an option.
I notice other issues with N900 audio as well, but I guess this is the final nail in the coffin for even...

Re: Hardware Issues: Headphones w/ Mic
Well, put it this way - you can get a usable headphone better than most stuff they'd integrate into headSETs for little more than an adapter in many places.
Since you mentioned The Source, I...

I'm sure there are a bunch of better options (the above, only if you can get a compact Y-cable version - there are monolithic adapters of that sort available but obviously you'd end up with a giant...
