Hi there, afternoon.

I have a Nokia N900 in its original box that I bought last year in an impulse, I've had 2 of them in the past when they came out and wanted to have it again just for good memories.

I had time to install the latest official firmware on it, I think it's 1.3, but even after that and without anything extra installed on it the phone was so slow that I couldn't force myself to use it even as a secondary/work phone, so I put it back in its box and kept it in a cupboard at home.

I've been reading this forum for the last couple of days, I didn't even know it still existed after so many years tbh, and I've read about different firmwares that can now be installed on the N900, some can damage it, but some seem to be "ok" or safe to install...

I only want to be able to use the phone without it being so slow, if this is possible without damaging it, so if there is a firmware, kernel, OS, or anything I can install on it that will make it "usable" at a speed a bit closer to modern devices I'd really appreciate any help or pointers on the right direction, many thanks
