I seond that. my biggest problem with the n810 is the lack of continuity. I don't quite understand why Nokia discontinued OS2008 so quickly. It is certainly not what I expected from a Linux device.

BTW, I assume that everyone reading this thread knows that we are right in the middle of testing a method of community support for OS2008, but just in case someone didn't I thought I would mention this:

That's how I felt when my N770 was left behind. My 10 year old GNU/Linux box still runs the latest openSUSE 11.2! Anyway, I installed OS2007HE, Skype, Gizmo5 (hooked up to Google Voice), and the latest microb and I have a pretty good traveling device...

Will it allow me to remove all the default Nokia apps that I don't want so that I have the room to install the apps I prefer to have? What about updated drivers and A2DP support? Just wondering when we'll ever get an actual Linux device that CAN even be updated.

[QUOTE=Stskeeps;526232]

I rarely visit the forums much as clicking "new posts" gives me a swamp of n900 conversations; instead of buying an n900 I bought a Fujitsu U2010 aka U820.

* I have a (N800 or N810 or N810W)

= n800, I also have a 770 which I'd like to find a use for

* I'm interested to see and use (fill in) on my device

= I use it for rss feeds, mobile email, VOIP (sipgate), gpodder podcasts, mobile web

* I'm willing to contribute with (finish the sentence)

= writing up stuff in the wiki, testing mer (when a stable release is done) and general things

* If (fill in) would happen, I would then be able to do (fill in)

mer reached at least a beta or release candidate, I would gladly flash it and provide feedback and help to others

maybe we could petition to have http://talk-n800.maemo.org and copy off all the interesting stuff to it and thus not have to do our best to ignore the n900 drivel^Wchatter ?

This is the best idea I've read on talk.maemo.org since a long time. I am voting with my 2 hands for it.

Some gutsy person could try starting a site called maybe NEWITT and make it happen. I think the powers that be want ITT to stay dead.

[QUOTE=danramos;596698 I nearly sold off my N800 recently. I'm still on the fence about it and starting to lean again toward selling it off. Between the blatantly anti-consumer attitude (lack of support and communications for existing customers) from Nokia...

I, too feel abandoned. I bought a 2nd N800 off Ebay in perfect condition as a spare because the support is gone for $75. He felt abandoned, too.

I've posted to Nokia Labs a suggestion for a Symbian VM for our tablets so we can run Symbian software. I find it very curious we never got one from the company that owns Symbian, while other companies, like Access gave us the great Palm OS VM, Garnet, which I find very useful....sometimes more useful than Maemo.

We're just the trash left over from the big corporation's lunch bag, now. I don't expect to ever see another Maemo anything, like A2DP support for my Motorola S9HD bt stereo headset. I use a Sony TMR-BT10 A2DP transmitter plugged into the N800's earphone jack. They're discontinued, too, but many are available. They transmit any audio source 30' to the BT stereo devices, are rechargeable and very tiny.

Our product line is dead and forgotten. It was a great ride while it lasted. I wish N900 never existed and wouldn't buy one if it were $49 because it will soon be abandoned, too!....The company just operates on whims too much. I hardly ever see an N900 because it's GSM in South Carolina. CDMA rules here......except for iPhone, of course.

Great thread!

* I have an N800

* I'm interested to see and use a community maintained Maemo on my device, hopefully with functional MBX drivers for gaming in the future.

* I'm willing to contribute with testing, but I'm no dev.

* If a restructuring of TMO would happen, I would then be able to filter out the N900 crap. Im feeling lost, as most subfora are filled with N900 stuff


I've just rediscovered my N800 after abandoning it in the drawer for a year. I've waited for Pandora in the meantime I need a new battery and a new screen as it started flickering. Luckily a new screen is just 30 Euros. I've installed some cool things like the IP cam and the webkit replacement engine for microB and really enjoy my device again
