I would love to discuss this with you, but all I am is asking if there is a way to get this thing flashed to the latest OS so I can at least web browse and download some apps.
Thanks!

Yes, sure.
There are hundreds of posts explaining how to flash.
What is the info you are missing?

Have a look at the device (N9/N950( overview
https://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=51
and you will see in the titles...

for flashing itself
https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.ph...flashing+guide
and for searching natching firmware files just use google or the search box


BUT be aware that you must not mix chinese firmware with other firmware, so make sure you know your device's version.

I haven't revisited my "sticky" for a while, but hopefully worth a look:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=100215

Okay, thanks guys. I'm really a novice, but owned this device in 2012 and came across a sealed new one on eBay and bought it. Okay, so I'm bored and need a new (geeky) hobby with the kids out of the house. So, thought I would try to indulge in some nostalgia. Here is a screenshot of what it came factory loaded with:

Dumn question though - why does my N900 talk to the internet and open all web pages and web-based apps (albeit different OS) and the newer N9 does not?

Not sure of product code but think SouthEastAsia firmware, although doubt you could find PR1.3 version of DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.299.1_PR_LEGACY_299 now unfortunately.

Hi guys,
The problem I'm having now is finding a Windows 10 or latest Mac OS-based flashing tool. None of them are working for me. Can you recommend a recent flashing tool version?
Thanks!

Cheers!
