BTW can't one just solder a bigger RAM on an N900 mainboard? I mean the linux kernel would not mind a different amount of RAM to work with, I imagine it would just work "out-of-the-box"...

the problem is -so I've read- that the RAM is integrated on the goddamn SOC.
To replace this SOC with anything compatible that has more RAM would require ball soldering skills. Difficult.

In time I will probably get desperate enough to ask some Chinese company for a volume price quotation to treat N900 motherboards .

I expect a couple of weeks using the N9 will stimulate this.

Reading about copy past on N9 sets the mood.
