A neat - though not super useful - trick my wife discovered the other day is that if you are looking at pictures in the gallery in landscape mode and you turn the phone over as if you are trying to show the picture to someone opposite you, it will automatically flip the picture so it's the right way round.

Not sure if that makes any sense, but try it for yourself and see!

Very cool, props to the wife.

A tip when your in the terminal -
If your typing a command that you have used before just press the up arrow key and it will go through all the commands you have typed in there, most recent 1st

Quick question - I was led to believe that the N900 had an N Wireless unit onboard - However when i broadcast N only ( I'm on 50mbit so I only want devices that won't choke my connection to connect) it doesn't pick it up. If I set to to b/g/n it does, so I take it it's a G card?

I wasn't aware that the N900 has a chipset that supports IEEE 802.11 N, never saw it mentioned anywhere either. So yes its only B/G.

Small tip in Music Player (that I just discovered)
In "Now Playing" tap the albumart to show list of songs on album, tap again to go back to "Now Playing"

Very nice tips guys, keep them coming. its nice how the N900 keeps poping these secrets etc up.

For in car phone use....if in a landscape phone holder.....

When in phone, click top middle (menu) for phone and select 'turning control' select 'automatic' instead of 'portrait' this will allow for landscape phone operation while driving (i.e flck over from maps) otherwise the phone will turn to portrait when it rings...

if you pick up the phone, it will still turn to portrait based on accelerometer

hope it helps someone.

plz ignore me if you already know this.

When you are in an application that is running and press the power button, there will be a option 'end current task' in the menu.

I think it is useful since sometime I got a newly installed app running without menu bar but do not know how to exit it, i can just kill it this way and back to desktop.



plz ignore me if you already know this.

And ctrl-backspace sends program to background.
