Please note I tested this with my brother's iphone 3gs and my old N95 8GB. Before, the iphone beat the N900 with speed by a little bit, but N900 beat the iphone with content. The N95 was in the middle in both tests. After this, the N900 loaded the page a lot faster than both phones..and it loaded the full page.

However please note that your battery will be drained a lot quicker. And I mean it.

These are ten very short steps. I could have shrunk the instructions to 3 steps,,but better keep it simple.

Step 1: Connect to any Wi-Fi network.
Step 2: Go to Menu > Settings > Internet Connections
Step 3: Click on Connections
Step 4: Select your Wi-Fi network
Step 5: Click on Edit
Step 6: Press Next twice (until it is idsabled)
Step 7: Click on Advanced
Step 8: Go to the 'Other' tab
Step 9: Click on 'Power Saving' and select Off. It will warn you that you will be charging more frequently if you do this.
Step 10: Try Browsing again .

You have to repeat this process with every one of your wi-fi connections. The battery will be drained quicker know..but it is so much faster! It could easily compare to the speeds that my PC is able to reach. I like it this way..so what if I have to buy a spare battery?

If you like this post I don't require thanks..but please give me some e-book names on how to learn more about linux, maemo, and how to develop for it. I really would like how to port applications. I have a background in programming (Java and VB (beginner)), but I always was good at editing existing code, rather than creating. I want to know more about how to use my N900. Thanks

sounds good to me man. will give it a try.
your name makes me wanna listen to cowboys from hell. gotta love a bit of pantera

by the way, i would recommend learning c++. its a very very powerful language. there a billions of tutorials on the web, just run a google search and you'll find all you need to get started easily.
