I have a n900 here where mainboard refuses to boot - shows charging though. Maybe the camera can be swapped out if you want one. I still think droid4 is the Path of Now and Forever though.

Have you tried to reflash it?

Yesterday watched Apple launch event. New iPhone 12 mini got me. Oh I want it. Almost decided to buy one. Then I started to think what would happen if I would buy it. I would be taking photographs all the time and if I take them I want to show them and would like to create new accounts to facebook and instagram and I would start to shoot videos again everywhere and would make music to them with nanostudio and garage band and would install apps apps apps apps and use them all all the time.

So I gave up the idea and decided to wait for Leste. Not thinking it will make N900 as good as iPhone or to be able to do all the same as iPhone, but to keep me on the right path: opensource, sustainability, becoming smart instead of stop using brains. I love how the iPhone lets me to just pour out all the creativity inside me but I have understood that it is like using curse words all the time. It makes me to just be creative and social virtually, but in my experience that is living a half life, half alive, and losing a lot.

But it sure looked good.

I believe this the "shut down" LED pattern. We now support software led patterns on the Droid 4.

On the N900, I think the pattern is white. Uvos didn't port the patterns and their colours 1:1 for led-sw, but we'll correct that soon.

If you feel like doing it - please give it a go. It should be matter to tweaking one of the mce.ini's and activating the patterns to test: https://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#Activate_LEDs

Yes Shutdown is white on n900.

Maemish, it's will power not the device necessarily. You should embrace your creativity. The new iphone sure have some cool potential, but they do come at a cost.

1. freedom or locking
2. Eventual will obsoleted even if the hardware is still good.
3. They will invade your privacy at every turn.
4. They can remove remotely things from your phone if they want.

play with sunvox if you want to mess with music on the n900 it's awesome.

cheers

Wow! Thank you!

Actually you will have an enormous amount of time to train your brain, simply because you won’t be spending it fixing problems from 10 years ago.
That’s the other side of the coin!

A Blackberry keyboard smartphone is a much better alternative than a iPhone. Some BB devices are business use friendly especially when it comes to email handling. Someone created a very useful https://github.com/IanusInferus/BBK2KeyExtension key extension for the BB Key2.

To be able to use a 10 years old phone today is just an awesome achievement and I honor folks on this forum who have made it possible. And that the work continues blows ones mind. I spent many years with iPhone and loved it and what I could do with it. It is just too much for me. I just bought iPhones to my kids plus macbook and ipad and to wife an iPad pro. To myself 50 broken N900 devices. They do not understand me but I don't mind or blame them. But Maemo Leste on N900. It to be ready is my dream. Or my real dream is a system made with assembly on N900. Enough ram for many years.

Let me join the choir:
It is only insignificantly smaller than the Xperia devices supported by SailfishOS
I wonder how huge the not-mini iPhone 12 must be, to justify calling this one "mini".
