Re: GPS not working

I could never get the built-in GPS to work the brief time i had the N900. I had to resort to a bluetooth GPS receiver i had around that picks up in less than 10 secs. Shame.

Re: Navicore on the N900? Possible...?

Well to answer my own question, it doesn't work. The deb file installs fine but the Navicore app will not launch, just crashes.

Guess it's on to Sygic or Ovi maps then.

Re: Anandtech reviewed the N900 and loved it!!

:mad::mad: Hmm, so the same sputtering on N800/810 when trying to play videos locally, random freezes and so forth, music not fluid, apps crash randomly, bla bla bla.

Stability-wise and O.S-wise...

Re: (Unbranded?) UMPC 4.3inch with Windows CE

OMG, it's almost like deja vu. I've been seeing this thing on craigslist for over a week now and thought someone duct-taped it together in their basement. Odd coming across it here.

Re: The N800 as a PMP?

I definitely passed on the A2 and went with an Archos AV500 almost 2 years ago. To be fair, i got a chance to get the AV500 mint new for less than $120 (i work for a retail outlet and get first dibs...

Re: The N800 as a PMP?

Sorry to be this blunt, but don't even bother with the N800 as a PMP, it falls miserably short. Like you stated, you don't want to have to transcode all your DivX/XviD files and i agree with you.

Re: Interesting article on data plans in Europe/North America

Please, if you're capped at 1GB a month, then where is the comparison with a carrier like Sprint, whose unlimited IS unlimited? (Verizon, the shady one, is somewhere around 5GB, rumor has it).

Re: Interesting article on data plans in Europe/North America

I tether with the $15 plan nonetheless. Even at $40 (officially for phone-as-modem) i'll still pay that than stand T-mobile's sloooow network, anyday. Seriously, Tmobile U.S.A is a bad joke, 2007 and...

Re: A date for OS2008 for N800 ???

How in the world can it be the "same exact version"? The leaked version that i put on my N800 and took off after a while was abysmal in most areas. Youtube was much better, but that was it....

Re: Thoughts about OS 2008
