Dear all,

I have been using the N900 for many months now and I realised one thing today, which I had always realised but not in its full extent.

The N900 is an amazing device and Maemo is a wonderful operating system, all of which have a magnificent potential of staying on the cutting edge for another year at least if well taken-care of. But still, I realised that the majority of the reason why I LOVE that device is because of the Community and the work it has done!

Mappero, Ossipena's Vertsms, The Stardict ports, the Canola and Media Box Ports, qole's fantastically brilliant Easy Debian, Abiword, the many games, the billion hacks and inputs like Brightness Applet, Media-player notification, call notify, tweakr, ProfileX, Yellow Notes, Live Wallpaper, Claws Mail port, conky, CuteExplorer, The Emulators, FM Radio. fMMS, Hermes, Healthcheck, GTranslate, Macuco, Tear, MGutenberg, Sudoku, Maepad, QTRapids, Transmission, R-Conversations, Tuner, Ukeyboard, and much MUCH more (just to name a few off the top of my head!).

All of these above are community generated or ported apps to our devices, especially the N900. You people are the reason that the N900 exists, and why it is an AMAZING and pretty much mature device, despite any additional stuff we might need. I am extremely thankful for everything you guys have done for me and one another, and I hope that when the time comes for a new phone, I would find a community like ours. Your patches, ports and apps have solved major problems, helped me with day-to-day problems and have made my life much easier and made this experience much better than it was originally intended, had it been left solely to Nokia's hands. Thank you very much for everything. I only wish I could finish the bulk of my work and studies soon so that I could at least learn some coding skills and make/help out with one app as a gift for this community.

Most of all of course, I am extremely thankful for the Epic PR 1.2 thread! I have laughed in extreme ways throughout this entire thing that I am actually sad PR 1.2 has been released, and I hope we can have a new thread of its caliber, all while keeping the original one closed in its pristine quality

Thank you, everyone!

P.S. If you agree with me, you know what to do

EDIT: Added these to list as per S0cerr0ur's reques and quotationt:

1. Hide User Agent - Trick the browser its a PC browser. Websites will always default to desktop version, instead of the mobile version!
2. Mobile hotspot - Turns the N900 into a wifi internet hotspot!
3. Mypaint - super advanced paint app - that makes use of the untalked feature PRESSURE sensitivity!!! (try it - or watch on youtube!)
4. Mediabox - Brings all youtube clips to the N900 in HQ with perfect framerate!

EDIT 2: I am also adding from below my/our MASSIVE THANK YOU to the moderators of this forum who make it something that human beings can use! You handle our many repetitive and redundant posts and you create sense of out of them;. We thank you for being the organisers of our chaos
