First post....
Well then- glad to be here and I've been lurking for weeks as I wanted to research the best "PDA" to get. Had an HP RX3715 and it was one heck of a device. I loved it until it was sold. Then a Fujitsu P1120 was my primary portable for some time. It was also great. But it was still too big! The new Fujitsu U810 is half that size, but I really wanted to get something closer to the size of the RX PDA for complete portability. You know I was tempted to get a smartphone- but browsers were more like a crippled version of the RX's, which was poor to start with. I needed something better!
Enter the Nokia IT range of products.
The wife bought it for me as an early Xmas gift (Whoohooo!!!!) and I promptly went for the 2k8 upgrade. It went flawlessly, save the issues getting the 2k8 firmware (needed to use a torrent)
Now the device is great, and sexy GUI, but there are a few issues. I've read about the repositories not working properly for whatever reason. So I cannot use Python-enabled software. This leaves Kagu out of the picture (Waah. I really wanted it too..) So I'll wait for that issue to get fixed and enjoy what I have now.
But the real issue is the browser. Maemo has this issue the most- it says connecting... at the bottom of the browser but never does. This is intermittent and usually happens on the third clicked link on a site. If I restart the browser it usually will stop misbehaving. I just want to know if anyone else is having this issue with browser hangs and if there is a solution that doesn't require using the unavailable repos???
