As for hardware, my USB port is fine as I have a Samsung charger I used (no point having loads of chargers lying around) and I *need* to charge everyday.

I think the phone has a lot of potential and the USB issue aside, I don’t think there is a need for “another” device.

I personally believe that the reason there are soo few apps is because the development process is soo bad.

I think they should create an add-on for Qt for the N900 which will allow you to build and test the app in Qt, and when you ready hit the package button ready for deployment to Meamo repositories. Imagine how many developers would go for this platform if they could start developing without spending days and days googling??

I am neither a fanboy of Nokia nor a supporter. I have had phones from most of the different manufacturers and this phone was chosen as I needed a phone which I could change and make it behave like I wanted to do…even “do” the things I wanted to.

If I can’t complete a development lifecycle soon for my “Hello World” program, I might be tempted to ditch Maemo for the Android platform…. But we shall see. I have spent a few weeks on this now and am determined to succeed!
Hello. Actually with the latest release of QtCreator (2.0 rc) and Nokia QtSDK+madde, develop for maemo/Symbian is easier than develop for iphone or Android.

Take a look:

That looks like a well exaggerated argument to me. I wouldn't mind to hear some backup from your end about it.
The only thing worse than misinterpreted actual statistical data is imaginary, purely speculative anecdotal data

I made a thread in the MeeGo subforum as this talk (N9) is not really N900 related and the N9 is rumored to be MeeGo based....

I wondered how you could live with the failing device and let this people go and take salary from Nokia every month? Tell us we'll help you.
Thanks. Problem is I live in the UK but bought the device in the US (was such a huge Nokia fanboy that I couldn't wait for it to be widely available in the UK and went to the US to buy it).

I took it to Nokia repair centre near me and they said since I bought it in the US I couldn't repair it with them through warranty but that Carphone warehouse do a service where they can send it to Nokia for repairs for you. But then when they sent it off they came back and said it is moisture damage and not covered by warranty.

Alternative would be to send it to the US and see if they fix it but not sure I can go through the hassle and cost especially if there is the risk I will again be told damage is not covered by warranty.

If you know anything about design factors then any company worth their salt will either re-design or cut there losses and bring out a complete new design altogether.
As the N900 lost it's credibility very fast due to this problem is probably the reason.
Nope. Sorry. Everything I have seen says that it sold BETTER then expected for a "step x of y" device. The USB port isn't a big deal to fix, and isn't actually that easy to break (mine works fine, and I plug it in 2-4 times a day, and its stock)

The thing is everyone knows the n900 is a one-of-a-kind device that is going to be community supported very soon. Unless you live in a cave, you know this. You may not have known it last fall, but you know it for sure now.

So, yeah, the next linux device isn't going to be the n900, and it's going to run meego, which may run on the n900 but isn't going to be officially supported on the n900.

We should have a NEW topic about this with a non-descriptive title at least three times a day, just to make sure we all know this. Because we may have forgotten since the last topic.

BTW, meego is SWEET on a netbook. I just got around to putting it on my acer this weekend. If the ux on a phone-sized device is done right, it will be very good

On an Acer Aspire One? Does everything function? Is there a thread anywhere about this, here or on a different forum?

Don't know about schettj, but I installed MeeGo on my Aspire One (ZG5) back when it was released and it functions 100%, or at least with no less functionality than when I had Ubuntu 9.04 on it.

As for threads, the MeeGo forums have an (relatively) active Netbook subforum.

Stock 1.0 install from http://meego.com, on an empty partition of my acer aspire one d250 (2gb ram, 320gb hdd upgrade so I can play with other OSes via dual boot) via a USB stick, now it dual boots win7 ultimate and meego 1.0 (meego got a 60gb partition - mostly empty still )

Everything works great - it IS an early release but its pretty good already. All off topic for maemo.org
