Re: The End is Coming: What do we do next?

For what it is worth ...

I'm an occasional user of my old N810, still running OS2008. I don't upgrade and I don't install many new apps, because I mostly use it for fun. Although I did take it on...

Re: Not an announcement - NoKismetGui

OK, I'm game for nagging!

Kismet has been a big disappointment for me on the N810. Kind of gave up using it nearly a year ago. Perhaps your GUI would energize me.

I've not re-installed it after...

Re: can only login to maemo.org from n810

Hi;

Well, now I'm even more puzzled. I managed to login, by going directly to talk.maemo.org.

Is there a way to...

Re: Update today

HI;

I had only 17 BM left on Flash. I deleted a lot of crap and moved some less-than-crap to SD. That resulted in 60 MB free on the 256 flash on my n810. Then was able to install.
