Dude, I NEVER SAID CRASH. Stop putting that into anything that has to describe what I've stated. It's annoying to have a person who obviously can't read keep saying that you've said something else.
You'll be ignored by me because you obviously don't bring anything to the table other than your annoyed attitude and little more in this thread.
Sad, because you're helpful everywhere else but here where you've considered opposite opinion as yours as "pollution" or some other puerile categorization.

New poster to this amazingly amusing (if you have a weird sense of humor) thread.
I am neither a techie nor a Linux fan nor a Nokia fanboy and I have been very happy with my IT. It does all I want and more and I kind of enjoy working around the glitches. Nonetheless, I am very careful to whom I recommend it.
What I really want to do is respond to one of Gerbick's throwaway comments about Maemo Mapper way back when about waiting to install Maemo Mapper. Why? It revolutionizes the way you will use maps on an electronic device. The longer you wait, the sorrier you will be.

It took me like 30 seconds to get wifi working on my N810.
I was browsing the internet scant seconds later.
Now I play way too much Mahjong and have a great time reading ebooks thanks to fbreader.
Sure, digging around and getting SSH working might be beyond the ken of your average user, but what average user buys a tablet over a laptop?
Sure I could use some more elaborate error messages rather than "Authentication failed." when trying to connect to wifi at work, and something more elaborate than "Installing this will probably break some stuff, contact the author." would be nice. But on the whole, I'm very very pleased.

I'm no longer waiting, just too busy searching out the others that have explained in layman terms how to use the app. I'm sorta waiting on the upcoming (aforementioned) build of 2008 (.50 I've read somewhere else) then try the navigation software nav trial as well as the Maemo Mapper to fully make up my mind.
But Mapper is pretty darn nice.

1) Ebooks with an excellent (although I wish it worked with purchased books
2) RSS reading wherever I want although I wish that were a better application
3) Most (>95% for me) web sites render perfectly fine, although others like igoogle aren't perfect (I don't like the micro-b engine more than I don;t like the Opera engine)
4) Mobile pdf reading, the evince doc reader is a really nice app
4) etc.
The Maemomapper app makes the device a keeper and I don't use a laptop anymore.

I know it's too late to post this, but the one space between sentences rule replaced two spaces in almost everything about 15-20 years ago.

Hopefully the dinosaurs who keep trying to train people in this deprecated method die off soon. :P

I have ADHD, and find it helps me to process anything if it's broken up into small chunks. I think that's behind the reason I prefer 2 spaces.

Mine are default, I'm not expert enough to tweak things. And it works..
If anyone having a crash would do the same I wouldn't have answered in this way. I'm a developer as a hobbie and I'm sick of whining people but they don't give information.
It crashes. No more info. There's nothing to understand. I assume it's default settings.
[blablah]
So now someone interested in reproducing has the possibility..
edit:
next time, either open a new thread or bugs.maemo.org
glad you found your problem
