Welcome, El, to the forum. I usually watch the new posts throughout the day. See you around.

Hi all,

I am new to the community, been here lurking for a long while but today I finally decided to register (maybe the advent of the new maemo lead device has something to do with it... )

Regards to all and see you out there!

Hello everyone, I recieved my n810 just about a week and a half ago, and it has completely lived up to my expectations. Posts on this forum have helped me get it running the way I like, and I hope to be a good addition.

Hi all...just received my N800 about 3 days ago. Pretty slick device although I have had to flash the thing already...locked keyboard! The first important lesson I have learned is that you don't want to let the battery run completely down. I think that may have led to the prob however i did download some software to it just before it went dead.

Welcome, 68guns, I use my N800 alot, more than my desktop.

Hi,

Long story short: I really wanted to like N97 and have it as my new phone. Alas, after a brief experimentation it became clear that it wasn't so. In the past I really liked N810 to the point where I almost bought one. However dealbreaker was that it wasn't phone. And I tend to forgot to have along one "extra" device.

Taking these facts into account I believe that I'll but my wagers to N900 being my next phone.

That ansers the "why". "What" and "where" are easy to answer too. To gather information on device and platoform and later become productive (yeah, right memember of community.

Hello,

I've registered a few weeks ago in order to get some help with Tear and broken registries. I purchased my n810 from Ebay in January '09. I'm late making this post!

I'm in the field of education: in the classroom for eight years and on to other things for the last three and counting. I use the n810 to make presentations (Bluemaemo); take notes at meetings, convert and fill out forms and gather signatures, doodle, etc. etc. (Xournal); complete online reports, conduct on-the-spot research, check Microsoft Exchange calendar, email, contacts (Tear, other browsers); edit and create documents (abiWord, OpenOffice 3 w/ easy debian); impress coworkers, and much, much more.

Outside of work I play music and movies (Canola); surf the internet (above-mentioned browsers); view and edit bluetooth-synced video and pictures taken by my smartphone (File manager, Gimp); browse youtube videos (@scene); let my five-year-old with mild autism have tons of fun (Theremin, Boxar - he loves to make and listen to music - and too many games to mention that we both enjoy).

I have no problems at all with the iPhone - I actually think it's an amazing device. I just feel that I have more freedom and opportunities to tweak and fiddle a little bit with the n810 and my windows mobile 6.1 smartphone working together (did I mention Maemo PAN? PAN and DUN make me feel invincible! Who needs WiMAX?!?!!).

Speaking of tweak and fiddle, I would not have the ability or confidence for either without this forum and its members. Your support enables thousands of us novices get the most out of our devices. Thank you all! And thanks to all of you that have developed hundreds of great apps free for us to use and enjoy.

Hi everyone! My name's Liana and I've lurked on this site for a few months now. I work for a company that does marketing for Nokia and have become enamored and intrigued by Maemo and its potential as an alternative open-source platform.

I'm not a developer but I do my best not to be dumb about such things either and have learned huge amounts from you guys over the past few months so thank you!

Welcome, Liana!

Hello,

I came here because of the Nokia N900, Had a look at an secondhand N810 but the lack of an phone option put me of (haven't got enough pockets to put it all).
I'm an Nokia guy and I'm using my phone for 70% Internet and 28% messaging and 2% calling.

I hope to get an N900 soon and then get familiar with the Maemo OS and maybe create my own stuff (had some programming experience through school).
