Re: Anyone regret buying N900?

I no longer use mine but I don't regret having bought it. Got lots of good use out of it. But the N900 is now two years old and a lot has happened in mobile devices during that time. I had planned to...

Re: Nokia N9 vs Galaxy S2

I think there may be some bias in this forum on that score :)

Re: Nokia N9 vs Galaxy S2

But why? It isn't as if there is a shortage of Android phones to choose from.

In addition, Android probably wouldn't run nearly as well on the N9 as the native OS does. You will lose the cool...

Re: Handtec sourced N9 crashes thread

A company I worked for once had a gate array chip go obsolete. Didn't buy any "last stock" as they thought the product was dead. Of course they subsequently got a big order.

Rather than do a...

Re: N9 [Shipping]: It's finally here [for some]!

Prior to about two weeks ago I was using my N900 on AT&T with the $10 MediaNet plan. No issues for two years. Of course, I could only use GPRS/EDGE with the N900, but that was ok because I have good...

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9

Forge the cheap flip-phone. For the N9 price at Expansys you can buy an SGS-II to go with that netbook.

Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?

Re: On AT&T in the US: how can I get a micro SIM for a N9 if II buy one?

I don't know about that. They haven't detected my N900 yet, or my wife's C1. It seems like they only have phones they sell in their database.

The N9 is a penta-band phone. It supports all of the...

Re: Media Player disappear

Maybe you need to reinstall "mediplayerhomeapplet" too.

Maybe "apt-get --reinstall install mediaplayer" will help.

Re: IMEI not valid

Nokia's site won't let you download firmware images unless you enter a valid IMEI. You need firmware images if you need to re-flash your device for some reason.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

It keeps track of icon positions separately for each rotation. So all you have to do is position them the way you want in portrait and it will stay that way.

Free42. I've got to have an RPN calculator. Might be a hassle though, upstream uses GTK.

Re: Who's still around and interested in N800/N810?

I still have an 800. But it is pretty much dedicated full-time as a music player since I got my 900.

Yes. Why do you think there's something else? There have not been any updates for at least a month.

Re: What is your favourite music player for Maemo 5?

If you mean "doesn't stutter" when the screen rotates or you switch tasks, I'm with you. I really like Someplayer, but the stuttering is too annoying. I guess it has something to do with not using...

Re: Nokia shares dive after sales warning

Having run things like OpenOffice and JEdit on my N900, I would say the issue is not the pixels but the physical size. It is hard to click on tiny buttons, and hard to see tiny text.

It works,...

Re: Nokia shares dive after sales warning

I agree that this seems unlikely.



And I think this is where Nokia went wrong. They kept changing their strategy. Putting the polish on Maemo, getting to step 5 of 5, and adding in Qt as a...

Re: Nokia shares dive after sales warning

Well, he's not wrong, in the sense that Nokia has hitched their wagon WP. If WP fails, then Nokia does too. So of course Nokia wants it to succeed. Success will mean that other hardware makers...

Re: Nokia shares dive after sales warning

My point is that lots of companies have been prone to the same kind of mistakes. So a company doing well in one area (like desktop software) is not a reason to assume it will do well in other areas...
