Hi soldan, what repositories do you have in the application catalogs? is the n900 connected to the Internet?

But take into consideration that even after you are able to install additional software packages you would not be able to connect to many online services for various reasons.

You use either these instructions to use current Maemo 5

https://www.dt.iki.fi/nokia-n900-resurrect

Or then you check new Maemo Leste which doesn't yet have call functions but is with new kernel and coming fast

On maemo 5 search also for guides using the default micro-b browser and also how to enable TLS stuff on Opera Mobile to resolve some problems. nginx setup needed for all https to work on a browser.
