I got tired of my N900 being very slow and unresponsive. When N900 came out, I went and got it on the first day, and it was so impressive and fast. But now it seems like a downhill from that glorious day.

So i flashed it again for the 3rd time with PR1.3 - No help there, still the same unresponsive slow device. I reset the phone to factory defaults - no change on usability. I was about to throw the damn thing to a wall, that's how frustrated i was.

Then I stumbled on to this thread of the Maemo Community Firmware Update : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67905
Wiki page of the Community Software update. http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU

I installed the Maemo Community SSU, and let it boot my device after installation. And woah was I amazed. Phone booted up extremely fast. N900 was so fast and so responsive I thought I'd hit a time warp or something .

Everything opens, scrolls and happens right away!! I truly recommend you to try this out!!!
