This is a false debate:

The question is .. want a durable phone but slow as a turtle, or prefer one that ".. only you serve two years .." efficiently .. and swift as a workstation


The choice is yours..

Couple of things I was wondering.

One thing Ocers ask themselves before testing an over clock is if there is enough cooling.

Is there a Mod we can do to help with heat? It could be as simple as taking out the stylus, or as fun as drilling holes in the battery cover.

I think many of us would be equipped to go so far as to apply some extra thermal paste to the two little heat sinks.

What do you all think?

i do not think you understand, we all flashed our n900 with overlocking kernel, after we flashed with the new kernel the phone's firmware information was deleted and in settings then about it says unknown instead of "maemo 5" "3.2010 etc"

since when do we need to overclock our '900s to save them from obsolescence?
It's unfortunate because the only phone that can properly browse all of engadget is the N900.

If world was always so simple place.
There's a reason why N900 and Palm Pre are running the same exact processor in 600mhz and Motorola Droid is running it on 550mhz.
I'm running mine 900mhz. Looking the phase i buy phones, i'm not going to sell my N900 and i'm ready to lose my N900. Honestly what harm is there to tell people that risks are there?

I have learned this by doing very minor overclocking on my old computer and that focked up the proc for the 1/2 year i used the computer while my current computer have gone 30% increase and temperatures are the same as given by the manufacturer(been in use for a year).

Non of the processors are identical and not the circustanes either. After you have got the message be my guess and flash the device like me, but nothing wrong with warning people.

The following is a response to this "article malicious"..:

incognito Posted Apr 5th 2010 6:20 IŽAM glad I tipped you on this one, but the title of this article couldn't be more wrong. Tho I guess the ad revenue benefits from such strong words... And then someone asks why is Engadget considered to be an Apple fanboi blog, and some even consider it as 'Nokia haters united'... I don't see how the N900 can be in danger of obsolescence - especially not obsolescence by MeeGo as the N900 is one of the prime testbed platforms for developing the MeeGo in the first place.

N900 will probably have MeeGo even before its successor arrives (due to late fall, and it actually won't be using the real MeeGo, but Maemo 6 (Harmattan) rebranded as MeeGo) and since its successor will be running on the same platform (OMAP 3430) but probably a different form-factor (probably sporting a capacitive touchscreen, which would be a serious step backwards; and possibly without a QWERTY keyboard which would be a definite dealbreaker for plenty of people) I don't see anything endangering the N900 for at least next six quarters.

N900 simply is one of the most hackable handheld devices out there, it has the best web browser (w/ full Flash support of course) and a real multitasking like no other device in this form factor, it's the most user friendly device coming from a large corporation (and when I say user friendly I don't mean the UI; tho I have no complains in that department as well; but the level of control it gives to its users i.e. you reall OWN the device), it sports a desktop-grade GNU/Linux OS (and with MeeGo things will only get better), it has a plethora of connectivity options, has one of the highest HW specs for handheld devices out there... It trully is a mobile computer. And there is no handheld device that can compete with it in that arena. So calling it obsolete is a cheap, sensationalist trick even for Engadget.

Strange. I flashed with the zImage 800mhz kernel and my information still shows in settings as Maemo5, etc and is (based on Conky and app performance) clocking from 125mhz min and 800mhz max. I did the "fiasco" process to flash, but probably makes no difference (a flash is a flash).
