4. The "E words" play great and equal or better than Droid (this was not in review- but worth pointing out).

What the hell are "E Words"?

How do you register the IMEI with Tmo? I would do that if it helps my reception. Will it affect what they charge on your data plan? My experience has been that my N900 signal is better than my G1, but only by a little bit. I guess the biggest difference is that when my G1 signal gets low it fails to connect w/o telling me, but the N900 actually says Cellular Data Not Available, which gets annoying in a really spotty area.
All these small variables now have a bigger effect as the network gets mores sophisticated.

Ten miles from Lexington. In Lexington, the signal is great, but the weaker areas on I75 and where I live have "one bar" areas. G1 was the weakest and has a few black-hole areas, but they last a few hundred meters and then the signal is back. I can go almost two miles in spots with the N900 and the N900 loses signal. I then enter an area with good coverage and the N900 will sometimes not regain signal until at least a minute later. Never experienced this on any previous phone- smartphone or dumb.
Heck, I was not happy with the G1's signal, but would love to have that compared to the N900's. I am very depressedWell, as depressed as device can make someone. The irony.

What, exactly, do you need to get access to?
As for flv, there's support in Extras-devel that's being tested as we speak.
On another note, FLVs play fine, I've discovered. Just not all of them. I have about 20 that won't play. They start and crash the media player. Have to talk to the guy that made that additional support package.

That area (KY one) should get 3G next month. I just work there.

TRS80! LOL that is what we used to load programs into the EEPROMS for PLC's that we built from scratch in my second year of college (Computer electronics). Good times
