<---  is watching to see how this turns out! 
i left nitdroid alone because it wasnt working completely, am very interested in trying the meego too.
my inner geek is slightly less then pushing me off the edge of the cliff to do so....by my conscious logic is telling me that i do not want to be bothered with fixing everything again and explaining to my wife and kids that my imaginary girlfriend (n900) requires my time more then they all do.  especially since i use my device literally for everything!  so if it gets messed up, im up the creek until i fix it...which in worst case is up to a few hours of trouble shooting and then finally a complete reflash/install which takes a few more hours from a back up because of all the applications, etc.
while i am glad they do not share the contacts, etc files, i would very much so like to know if it is syncable with outlook!

  • Brand new Nokia N900 ceases just after half a day ...

    I recieved the new Nokia N900 as an upgrade. It crashed few time opening emails, however restarted automatically. Later on it crashed on ovi map (pre installed). I tried rebooting after taking the taking the battery out and putting it back in - no joy! I tried startgin without the sim card -still the same problem - it starts with the Nokia banner and then 5 flashing dots... that's it.
    I have used Nokia for over 10 years, I never experienced this from Nokia.
    I think N900 is still 'Work in Progress', am not sure if it is fully tested yet!!

    you need this thread!
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=maemo&thread.id=1799
    This is a known problem.. And I'll be brief here since there are lots of posts about it..
    A bug in the firmware causes some devices to reboot.. Your's is an unluck one.. There is a permanent fix in an up and coming firmware release (not the one released today.. but soon) but in the mean time we have a work around..
    you have two problems.. first getting your device booting..
    Each time your device randomly rebooted itself, it increased a counter.. when this counter reached its upper limit (17 reboots) the device will STOP booting.. as yours has.. To reset this limit you need to manually restart your phone.. use the power button to turn it off.. use the power button to turn it on and the counter goes back to zero.. 
    problem is, your device has already reached the limit so we need to trick it into going back to zero..
    The easiest option may not work for you.. but it is fairly simple..
    Take the battery out.. plug your phone into your computer.. put the battery back in.. allow the phone to boot..
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to use the longer process detailed in the link above.. Read the first post carefully and see the section:
    REPAIRING A DEVICE THAT NO LONGER BOOTS
    If your device won't boot and won't respond to flasher.. the battery could be flat.. you MUST charge the battery to get your device booting. To do this you'll need to find someone with a Nokia N900, 5800 or 5230 handset since they all use the same battery.. If you device won't boot, it won't charge.. 
    Ok, assuming these instructions have helped your device boot, you need to implement the patch to stop it rebooting.. 
    Open this URL in your phone
    http://chris.intrepid.cx/N900/fix
    Click and INSTALL the first link.. when you click the first link select open..you'll be taken to app manager and you must proceed with the install
    Go back to the browser and click and SAVE the second link.. Save the file in the documents folder of your device..
    now, open an Xterminal and type these two commands exactly.. remember they are case sensative:
    sudo gainroot
    sh MyDocs/.documents/fixpm.sh enable
    Reboot your device once more and you should hopefully have a happy N900!
    Any problems refer to the first link in this post... and post and questions in that thread..

  • Nokia n900 in my hand

    hi :
    i have Nokia n900 in my hand , it is amazing , fast 
    let me if u guys have question regarding phone...

    My first impressions:
    picked up from the flagship store in regent st on Sumday and had to take the kids shopping for pressies so couldnd play with it for a good few hours until i got back home.... very frustrating .)   i did take a peak and was suprised at how small the phone looks 'in the flesh'  keyboard is nice and compact but could pose probs for people with fat fingers. 
    if you place on top of an iphone its almost exactly the same size. just a lot thicker.
    screen is stunning when you spark it up for the first time and the browser blows any device of this class out of the waterby a wide margin.   im writimg this review on my device whilst in bed .)  excuse any typos....
    i did a lot of research before parting with my money and there was a lot of internet chat about battery life.  the first two charge cycles gave me resonable performance and now i can easily get a day of pretty heavy use from 8am until 1900.. wont go into my usage but battery aint an issue for a device of this class and as we are only on public firmware release 1 it can only get better.
    after the excitement of powering on subsided i felt a bit dissapointed' especially seeing it cost me 500 quid. this lasted a day. it takes a bit of getting used to the interface and then it all starts to come together. yes there are a few interface issues that need sorting. my main gripe at he mo is currently no mail4exchange support for 2k3 but that can be sorted and the maemo boys are looking into it.
    compared to previous handset releases this one seems to have gone very well if you take into account this is the first maemo device that nokia have released that is also a phone.i like to call it a hybrid
    i can now say im loving it and my netbook is now gathering dust.  i can browse the internet whist watching tv with the wife and its just as good as a netbook but a lot more portable!!
    camera up to normal nokia high standards geotagging works well for me. very fast plus like the tagging of images for searching large albums.  im also loving the customisation possibilities of the whole desktop.  once i got the hang of the phone i spent 6 hrs adding and moving stuff about so everything i use daily is a click away.
    once mfe is running contact calandar sync will be good. done an initial sync through the suite and the calandar\contacts diisplay is first class. possibly due to the nice screen res. it all fits on nicely and the calandar month view is so much better than on my bb. looks similar to outlook
    x terminal aint too bad for the more advanced users. i set font to green with black background for a nice retro look. much better than the default! font size can also be reduced due to the nice screen so u can see a lot more text and its still clear
    reckon in the next few days ill have more to say but the device defiately grows on you the more you discover..

  • Nokia N900 Flash 10.1

    Hello,
    I've read some posts over the internet and I don't really know if Nokia will make an update of the flash plugin for the nokia N900. In the official flash webpage says that they will release it for the Meego but in youtube they presented it in the N900 device.
    I don't really mind having the 9.4 version, it actually does great but some webpages are beginning to give me some trouble like http://www.sky.fm, I like to listen to that radio but now I can't because it tells me to download flashplayer 10

    Hi, I don't know anything about this: libflashplayer.so but you can only use Flash Player for the devices that support it.
    This is the info on that: http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/certified_devices/    and also these site:
    http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/supported_devices/smartphones.html
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/index.html#mobile
    I would use the Nokia website for further info on your make and model of phone.
    That is all of the information that I have.
    Thanks,

  • Android 2.1 on a Nokia N900 (VIDEO)

    I know that some bright spark managed to get 1.5 onto an N900, but it wasn't very usable.  Very slow etc.
    However, someone's now got 2.1 onto one, and it looks pretty smooth and quick.
    Now the question is - how to do it...

  • Transfer SMS (from Nokia N97) to Nokia N900

    Hey guys, 
    I wonder if there is a possibility to transfer my old SMS (from a Nokia N97) to my Nokia N900? Sadly (for SMS) you can not use the transfer function or the PC Suite. Does anyone have a solution? Copying the SMS from SIM card to the device is really no use, I have approx. 800+ SMS which I really would like to have on my N900.
    Thanks, I'd appreciate the help...

    Have a look through the talk thread link I posted above.. Remember, you can backup your device before you start and there are plenty of details here about how you restore from a backup and even a "bricked" device here..
    I'll see if I can make a walk through too.. I'll post details back here

  • 1. Installed maps on Nokia N900 not showing - 2. k...

    Although I have installed local maps dae through nokia maploader to Nokia N900, when I start the Map app on the phone the data is missind. Instead it downloades it from internet.
    I must clarify that if I reset the phone by reupdating the software the map data is working but as soon I reinstall the various apps I have , the local map date is not showing.
    Any idea which app might get in the way?
    Second question, regardless of my settings, the map app connect to internet. Every few minutes it asks me to connnect although I have disabled the automatic connections.

    By the way where are the links to every map data version?
    As predominantly a Mac user I have published links to a variety of map series upon the forum, but now there is very little demand except perhaps from users in India with 5230 without WiFi and high data downloading costs. As Mac support fairly sparse moderators have kindly allowed discussion of manual installation of map data, which should not be an issue for Windows users with Nokia Suite.
    Unfortunately the latest map data only appears to be available for Windows Phone 8 devices and that for Symbian ones will probably fall further behind in future.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0
