Re: N800 Level 3 Service Manual needed !

sorry blade am oblivious to the subtleties of the levels. I hope you enjoy soldering anyway. And I hope you get your n800 back on the road, they're great machines and the best NITs available.

Re: Lg gw990

This device has got my interest. It seems Nokia tablets and maemo are becoming less and less relevant as consumers opt for iPhone or Android. The Moblin distro is certainly a better choice (for me)...

Re: N900 and poor vision

Great thread!

Reviews of the N900 are superb but I'm not upgrading my n800 because I'd not be able to comfortably read e-books or comics on the smaller screen. My n800 is an mp3, divx-movie...

Re: How to disable auto word complete on N810?

linuxrebel's instructions also apply to os2008/diablo on the n800, but Shift+Space via on screen keyboard doesn't seem to do anything for me.

Re: samba

Hey Waspinator

I also have not been able to make it work, I understand the share can't have a password, so isn't very secure.

if FileManager wants/needs to reformat the card, and it is blank, I'd go right ahead and let it. As for what format system, if you don't care, go with the default. If you are worried and want to make...
