I'll do that as soon as my n900 arrives. There are a few things there I would like to test. A quick "How to reset if it goes wrong" would be handy too, as I understand the point is to test stability, which includes testing instability.
there is a link to reflashing. and you have a good idea for new wiki page. i opened it but it has a lack of content right now.

I don't understand why the standby/locked screen doesn't contain this information. It does on my Blackberry Bold. If you look at a picture of the screen here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_b...tures-2370.php
The top "strip" with info on date/time, missed calls, emails, SMSs, IMs etc listed remains on the Bold even when locked. The light indicator will flash but won't tell you what kind of message or alert you are receiving. Having this info means not having to unlock to see what's arrived (wasn't that an annoyance for iphone users - doubly worse as there's not even an alert light?).

Oddly enough, I got a book on Gregg shorthand in the mail yesterday. I had been struck by a fit of nostalgia for it. I remembered more than I expected!
The only problem is, I'm not used to carrying paper with me.
Any idea how well shorthand would work on an N900 without a stylus?

One reviewer's (from nokiausers.net) n900 unit has started to become unstable. Wonder how he got it into this state? hopefully production firmware doesn't exhibit this. But he only got this unit last week

Had to put the N900 preview to one side for now, and wait for its new firmware. Its become unusable for anything web & wifi related.

One hopes that it isnt indicative of a clean phone however.

Well given initial questioning.. I don't think it's possible to have more than one ringtone right now. Seems there is only a general and silent profile. And I haven't heard anyone else speak up about the ringtone issue (it's not in editting a contact either).
So yes it seems right now it is not the perfect phone, it only has one ringtone for each type of alert. Unless Nokia hasn't implemented yet, or it's hidden deep somewhere.. it should at least be a ringtone per group (family, friends, work, etc..)

I know many of you have your own N900s and probably all of you have read several reviews and seen a lot of videos of the N900 already. Nevertheless, here are my $0.02 about the N900:

And you will also be surprised that after I watched 1.5 hours of DivX on the device, it still had 2/3 of its battery power left!
