Re: Anyone tried the cheap BL-5J batteries being sold on eBay ?

Not much more to add on my eBay batteries. They are somewhere in the 400-500 mAh range and fail to report SoC, so they're useless as anything but emergency backups.

For $10, I now have an external...

Re: Best Screen protector for N900 ( again)

I installed my Phantom Skinz protector on the 24th and have been using the phone heavily since then. :)

The surface is smooth - almost identical feel as the naked screen. Mine is optically...

Re: Is Dead pixels a general problem on N900?, please comment!

Mine's absolutely flawless. I expected several defects on a screen with such a massive number of pixels at such high density, but I'll take perfect instead!

Re: Anyone tried the Amzer cases?

In other words, the case is fundamentally flawed and should be avoided. This is the same company that released a series of Palm Pre cases that covered the Pre's gesture area, making it impossible to...

Re: outbox sending failed - troubleshooting smtp

Did you enter your settings manually or allow the N900 to autoconfigure the gmail account for you? Mine is working fine with autoconfig - only had to enter my username and password.

Re: Don't count on N900 as your primary camera for Xmas

My N900 performed very well during Christmas. Great looking photos, which were then immediately put on the flat screen TV. :)

Quality was unimpressive when compared to a DSLR, but for a phone or...

Re: Anyone tried the cheap BL-5J batteries being sold on eBay ?

Good news: I have my N900, and the cheap eBay batteries work. They are, as expected, worth exactly as much as I paid for them. :D

Re: Nexus One vs Nokia n900, what would you recommend?

Nexus has 512MB DRAM (not paged flash memory) versus the N900's 256MB.

The Nexus is special because it's the most developer- and nerd-centric Android device to arrive on the scene to date. Anyone...

Re: Solution: N900 Charging from dumb power sources

Yes, these cables exist but they are usually built as 2-into-1, so you can pool the available amperage from two USB ports to power a single device.

Re: Article: A look at Qt 4.6

That was mostly sarcasm, on behalf of the thousands of people waiting to get their hands on the N900 and wondering when Nokia will be shipping the next dozen devices. ;)

Re: Article: A look at Qt 4.6

Qt is a C++ development framework that allows a single application to target multiple platforms. It's actually quite a bit more than that, and is quickly growing into a complete runtime environment....

They include two protectors in each order so you have two chances to get the installation just...

Re: Dell Delivery Date : 16 Dec 09

Neither. It's a Visa card with a $50 credit loaded on it.

I strongly advise spending it all at once as part of a larger purchase. Otherwise, it can be difficult to get the full $50 out of it.

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

Hurrah! Good news. Ordered 12/8 after Newegg cancelled my early November order.

Dell shipped on the 21, and it should be here by the 24th!

Looks like they are shipping a lot of inventory right...

Re: Dell has the N900 for as low as $442

Did you contact Dell about your order? Just curious because my order was on 12/8, too. I would really like to get it in time to send in the rebate.

Until Dell works through the remainder of its order backlog, this thread will be useful to those of us who are waiting on them.

Re: Need instructions for applying soapy liquid requiring screen protectors ..

If your kit came with a sponge, throw out the sponge.

The water needs to be just soapy enough to be slippery. This will prevent the adhesive on the screen protector from bonding.
