Re: Amazing - Elop lays the axe on Symbian, MeeGo and QT

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Meego is Dead on Arrival. Last time I said that I got a ton of hate replies. Well, all I can say is, look what they have decided. I'm glad I got rid of my...

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

Nokia's almost dead in the water right now. Symbian's becoming obsolete and Meego's going to be a flop. Yes, I know I will be flamed for predicting the demise of Nokia. I used to like my N900 but it...

So, I just got a Palm Pre Plus and let me tell you

that it blows my N900 out of the water. Hardware-wise, N900 has an edge because of its bigger (3.5 vs 3.1 inch) screen and higher resolution. BUT, and it's a big but, software-wise Palm Pre + is...

Re: Should I get an N900 ?

The N900 is ALMOST at End-Of-Life at this point; Nokia will soon abandon support for the phone and you will have the community support only. As much as I loved the N900, I am waiting for the HP Palm...

Re: Let's make a memory leak and batt eaters list!

Why do we have to resort to installing third-party hildon-desktop? I think the catorize developers should be shot for not implementing a work-around to the so-called hildon-desktop bugs.

Re: how fast your battery drain?

From a thread on this forum, so I removed/uninstalled catorize on MY N900 and it MADE a HUGE difference in battery run-time. You will see it, I GUARANTEE it.

Re: how fast your battery drain?

I was having a random battery drain problem for a long time. It was "catorize" app that was causing it (actually it's the hildon-desktop interacting with catorize). Removed "catorize" and my battery...

Re: Horrible Battery Life?

it's a known issue. The usual culprit is the hildon-desktop and catorize. Remove/uninstall catorize from your n900, reboot it and you will notice an improvement.

Re: Difference between n810 and n900

Performance-wise, N900 is at least twice as faster than N810. N900 runs stock at 600Mhz, N810 runs 400Mhz; however, N900 can be overclocked to 1150Mhz. The ARM cpu in N900 is much more efficient than...

Re: Battery drains fast

It's a common problem on this device. Some process(es), usually the hildon-desktop or the media tracker, spikes cpu usage, making it all warm and toasty and drains the battery.

Re: World Cup 2010 on ESPN Live Streaming?

I found the answer, not by searching the forum but by browsing the forum randomly. You just have to forget about ESPN's live streaming. Even though it's a flash-driven shite, N900 can't stream it,...

I just did... 500 results, none of which has anything to do with WC2010.

Re: Rant: Nokia wants $108 to fix my out of box N800!!

I'd bite the bullet and let them do the repair. It's still less expensive than buying it new (Amazon open box with full warranty $225, eBay used $200). Out of curiosity--would they refund you $108 if...
