I am glad you are happy with your phone, I'll stick to my pocket computer until something comes along that can replace it.

I am a patient person, I can wait.

okhabin, preflex... I think you two have been arguing so intensely and so closely that you two don't realize that you're standing under a mistletoe...

so go ahead, kiss and make up have at each other.

...merry christmas.

Things I love are the customisations, the address book, unbeatable conversations app, being connected flawlessly to facebook chat, gtalk, skype and msn and yahoo (through jabber account to try and conserve battery - though still only last about 6 hrs). I also have almost 300 tomboy notes and android does not have a tomboy editing app (just reader). So migrating my notes would be a painful experience.

However, for all the greatness that comes with the N900 I wonder everyday whether it is worth the hassle. My N900 cripples to a complete stop every single night. And it is not even a case of it having been on all day. About half way through the day I switchover batteries (do not charge from usb port because my previous N900 lost its usb port so minimising how much I use usb port on this one). So it is crippling to complete stop after like 6 hours of use. I also have several times when no menus work. If I select a menu I just get a blank screen (killall hildon-home seems to fix that for a few minutes).

I have reflashed and disinstalled everything from extras testing and developers. I am using swappolube, I am overclocked, I have tried OptimizeN900 script. Still have a crippled device each evening. I also miss several calls during the day if I am doing anything at all. Just get missed call flash up on my screen without the device ever having rung.

Truth be told it almost seems like the N900 gives me more pain than gain and I would be better off moving to a device which works well. I do use 7 desktops with loads of Queen Beecon widgets so not sure to the extent that causes the crippling effect. However, I am sure the Galaxy Tab can easily handle 9 screens filled with widgets without becoming totally unusable.

One certain thing is that I would never ever get an iphone though. Need to have something I can customise and above all cannot be one of the crowd. I always look down on iphone users as having no mind of their own and most certainly won't want people to look at me in this way.
Swapoluble sucks. You can try my script:

Much better vm-tuning and firewall and traffic-shapping!!!

It's something to do. I'm all out of cigarettes and all the nearby shops are closed. okhabin has actually done me quite a service keeping me busy. At least i'm not yelling at the cat.
