Hi !!!
Please... could anyone help me to increase the font size for number displayed in contacts?
I have to carry a magnifying glass in my pocket all the time to read the contacts' numbers. (I came to N900 from N97)
And isn't ther some way of displaying contacts as NAME AND NUMBER ?
I'll be very grateful for your help.
Regards,
Raj

Here you go guys:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UTZVUB0P
http://uploading.com/files/deb59m4b/install.bat/
quick tuturial:
making sure phone is off,
download flasher
install
download firmware
download install.bat
move firmware and install.bat to C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5
plug usb into computer only
run install
and hold U on the n900 keyboard and plug in usb to n900
should connect then start to install (takes about 90seconds)
boot up your n900
but use your heads as this is my region(Global) and there are 3 different ones, Global, US, Asia
have D/L the Flasher 3.5 and tried to follow the instructions, http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware but I am far from a coder so I get a bit scared that I will Brick-it.
have put the two large RX51 folders in the Flasher map/file ( there is map named License where I have not put it)
can somebody copy the EXACT command lines i need to type, as the "Dummy" me do not seem to be able to get it working...so I aborted the flashing last time...
in above description D/L install.bat...have not done that is that the fault the Wiki page do not mention that ?
or do you advice my to keep my hands off ?
Do not feel good sending the device to Nokia with some Confidential biz info on it..
thanks in advance for your help
EDIT: have installed the install file and runned it still no action ?

@danielo5:
Download the .tar.gz version of the flasher tool. It's for Slackware and other Linux x86-distros that aren't .deb-based. Presumably you know how to install a .tar.gz file on Slackware, but if you don't it's as simple as 'tar maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz'.
Then follow the instructions on the wiki link. If you follow certain links there you'll find the flasher tool too. At one point you have to provide a code, that's the IMEI code of your device (just the digits).
