What I did on the n900:

Step 1: Installed the Oracle JRE : http://uppit.com/p1glvshnvgn6/oracle...e-1.6.0u30.deb

Step 2: Installed WhatsApp : http://uppit.com/t79j5q219iux/whatsa...0.0.4alpha.deb

Step 3: Opened up whatsapp.

Step 4: Filled in the details. (Phone number + IMEI code)

Step 5: Got an sms with my activation number

Step 6: Opened up prefs.xml using:

Code:

cd ~/.java/.userPrefs/org/peterbjornx/whatsapp/storage/

vi prefs.xml

In my example i'm using vi, but you can also use Midnight Commander. Thanks Ozymandias.

Step 7: Edited the <entry key="PHONENR" value="YOURNUMBER"/>

Step 8: Save it and open up Whatsapp

Step 9: Fill in the Whatsapp code you got via SMS.

Step 10: Add your contacts

Little questions I still have.
