@Dave999...
without.
I use my n900 (phone-wise) as my in-case-of-emergency / travel phone.
Not as a casual-calling or business phone.
landlines at home and shop do for those type of calls.
So yeah...it's not like phone-wise it's really a sacrifice ...pinching me or anything.
The HARD part for me will be setting the darn thing down for a week and not fiddling with it.
I've always had the thing to hand when I'm not working.
Figure I'll be suffering from n900 withdrawl big time.
humhumhum...ach I'll just use my n8x0's more...that way I won't go into n900 withdrawl and get the maem-shakes

Shouldn't be too bad...but I can't cold-turkey off of ALL my nxx0's....that's just painful masochistic madness....that'll kill me dead-bang ...Daveman

Quick reply...
Colophony, rosin... Thank you. If I see it anywhere, I will get a piece of it. However, running around in search of soldering-or-music shop it too time-consuming, considering that the place with two soldering irons should surely have it. I did not check it last time, because it was not exactly open the last few weeks, but this Friday it should have more people, with information about availability of soldering materials (hopefully).
Best wishes. You are very helpful!

6 h and 50 min to The mighty n900 week 2014 DAY 1.

TIME TO CHARGE...how do you charge?

wow. nice way of charging dave. but i still prefer the simple plug way.

Its not me just to give you some ideas of how to charge. I usually charge with power packs since I am always on the move.

Smart move man...it keeps the CIA from pinpointing your location through the fillings in your teeth.
Keep dodging Dave!
Weave! Feint! Weave!

And we are on! feels pretty good to finally post a message from n900 after all these days.

iits nice with keyboard. but screen in so small so its really hard to se what you are writimg in this form.

Lets begin. Agree with you dave but its still a pleasure to use N900. I really love my N900 alot.

What's worse, reducing eyesight or shaky hands that can't prevent the N900 from attacking concrete tiles.

N900 in the hands of ageing generation of early and final (?) adopters keeps absorbing damage, but no stress or fear for shattering a 150 USD / Euro display glass

Posted and uploaded image via N900's browser MicroB, moments after dropping the device from about 1m (see corner scratches).

Dave, you can swirl to zoom your input text even while typing.

Edit: all while listening streaming music and refrehsing app catalogues with the HAM.
Edit 2: this thing IS definately a phone: I could call it during the heavy installation procedure of Flappy Bird 0.03. But the other side needs patience: it took about 5 ringing tones to efectively reach the N900 tell app.

Wow, this topic is so cool!

Had to dig my N900 and power it on. It has been like 2 or 3 years since it was last powered on I think

Want to feel like it is new so gonna Flash it if I still know how to. Wiki links seem to be all broken tho... Well, quess thats the way it is with N900 and N9, nothing out of box anymore. Have to dig those files.

But it really does feel oddly nostalgic. Let's see I I manage to get this flashed and working by nightfall.

Promise to try and use it for the whole week if battery is not dead after being unused so long.
