[QUOTE=manojkumaru;1564359]Well, joining the party very late. I am like back from my coma. I would love to set up my n900 back to where it used to be, but not sure where to start. Should I flash mine and set it up from the start? Are there working repos that I can use? {/quote]

While the nokia repos are gone, yes, there are mirrors of the original repositories. You can find a list here:

https://wiki.maemo.org/Repository#Li...o_repositories

I won't be using this as my main phone (battery is poor), but definitely as a second phone on me always.
Batteries are easily had and inexpensive on ebay. Not sure if they are "genuine".

I would like to have Maemo alongside a kubuntu build with multiboot/bootmenu/u-boot ( not sure which one I used to have ). Also, would love to try Maemo Leste - latest debian + hildon-desktop - would be fun

Any leads where I shall start? Oh, and any genuine batteries available online (deliverable to India)? I can't find the difference between a fake and a genuine one.
I just heard about Maemo Leste in this thread. I will be looking into it.
