Re: AT&T details 7.2Mbps 3G, backbone upgrades

I read about this yesterday. I was amazed to learn at&t didn't have 7.2 mbps yet. Rogers has provided it in Canada for quite a while now, although not that many phones can take advantage. Even...

Re: I messed up my $HOME!

you would need to use a real file system like ext2 or 3. mounting it at /home rather then use a symlink would make sense as well

Re: What Extras applications would you like to see in Mer?

Re: What will become of Internettablettalk.com?

The new layout has the active topics on the right at all times, not just the front page. I find that even more useful since you don't have to go back to the main page to get to the next active topic

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?
