Their Nokia app repository works and they've already installed pixelpipe and qik.

But if its a problem that has yet to be fixed then I'm more than happy to wait until it is
If you know of another N900 in your area that works.. you would need to grab and it compare letter by letter your repository settings to theirs.

It seems that the servers could be congested (too much traffic). Atleast those nokia repos have been really slow for me lately when updating. It should not matter that much what kind of an access connection you have. No idea though where the nokia servers are located.

Though I would think that connecting to the servers from Ireland would not make more difference than connecting from Finland.

Btw.. As you now have rootsh installed, you could try pinging now to downloads.maemo.nokia.com

Go to X-terminal
sudo gainroot
ping downloads.maemo.nokia.com

You don't have to paste the full data. Let it ping say like 100 times. Seq is the sequence value. Ttl is "Time to live" (how many hops it does to connecting to the server, lower the value, longer the route is), mine seems to be 55. Time is the round trip time. See that the time varies a lot. When you have seq 100 or so, press Ctrl-C, which ends the pinging. Then you'll get the statistics which are enough information. TTL should be static though.

Mine were for e.g.
0% packetloss
min/avg/max 81/95/108

I'm actually quite suprised as I'm using 3G connection. The issue here is that packetloss, which means that if it's higher than a few percent, your connection is really congested.

EDIT: If you get lot of "Request timed out" that means that a sent packet is lost during transmission.

Got the "bad user address - downloads.maemo.nokia.com"?

Sounds like a name resolution problem - are you sure your network connection is OK?

Try

ping 78.33.33.80

What does that return?

i get the following:

56 data bytes
Ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

I'm from Ireland. I also can't get my 3g wap internet to get onto the net. I have the N900 for over a week and never was able to get on the net via 3g.

What connection are you using when you try connecting to the repositories? Could you try pinging then? If you're not connected then ping will not work at all. Sorry but I can't help that much how to get 3G working. Mine worked out of the box.

You do not appear to be connected to the Internet at all. I would guess that the repositories will magically spring into life once you get your connection sorted out.
