Re: [Announce] CSSU Testing thread

Thank you to those who have continued to support our phones. Mine is 8 years old and I still use it everyday. The updated OS and libs installed smoothly.

Re: I want to delete my account for months...

I guess if you want to be able to delete your account you should, but having a GSM contract is not a requirement for the N900 to be useful.

Re: N950 with MeeGo this year, but who trusts Nokia anymore?

Odd as this may sound to you, this is exactly why you should support open over closed. Forget commercial apps, they are a dead end in the long run. Companies exist to make money and to do so they...

Re: N950 with MeeGo this year, but who trusts Nokia anymore?

I'll buy it if it motivates me like the N900 did, which has nearly met all the expectations I placed on it. Certainly I would have preferred all of components to be able to be controlled by open...

Re: certain files/folders aernt getting recognised by file manager

Why would a Linux file manager care what the last three characters of a file names are? The file is either marked executable or it is not.

Re: For Devs thinking of porting to WP7

Well, according to this site (http://www.techhackz.com/2011/02/how-to-remove-unsigned-apps-limit-on.html), you must first jail break the phone to be able to run ten unsigned apps, then change the...

Re: For Devs thinking of porting to WP7

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought WP7 restricted software installation to Microsoft approved apps unless jail broken much the same as Apple's devices.

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego? Hello WP7!!

Nokia announced they are surrendering. Investors lose confidence when a company does that.

Re: I woke up today and my N900 still works!

Thanks for the link. Here's hoping success to that project and any others that are willing to give those wanting not to succumb to the powers of Google and Microsoft options.

Nokia to build ad serving machines?

Re: After Nokia/WP7, what will you buy next?

None of the above. I've bought a second N900 and will keep an eye on prices and possibly buy one or two more as the prices fall. Even if all they are good for is tethering to a netbook running Linux...

Re: Droid Bionic what you guys think about it ?

Other than having no keyboard and being CDMA only it seems to be a nice phone. It really depends on whether it meets all your needs or not.

Re: A little confuised on the N900/Maemo haters... please explain.

I have no hate for the N900, just bought a second one as a matter of fact and starting to use my old one to experiment with things I was hesitant to play with on a device I depend on for daily use.
