That is unlikely. There's probably just a sensor in one of the clips that detects if the cover is on or not. Its unlikely a company would design a cover that would make the microSD disappear, no one would buy their product

Its already installed by default.

OC? as in overclock or overcharge?

sweet

Will try this soon. It doesnt reflash or anything right? Don't want to end up losing programs and stuff.

Just overclocked my phone to 800mhz

Will try 1Ghz some other time, try to see if any problem with 800 first

OCing wouldn't kill your hardware after a few months. If its going to cause problems it'll cause problems soon after your OC (meaning your hardware can't handle the OC). If it works, it'll likely last you a long long time.

press ctrl (top left of the keyboard)
press shift (bottom left of the keyboard [big white up arrow])
press "p" 3rd key from the top right

Then open the images folder in your n900 and you should see the screenshot

If only nokia released the phone with better software support, it would be one heck of a killer phone. The secondary camera doesnt really work yet, so no 3g video calls with it.

I love my n900

been waiting for 1.2 for damn long adi dunno when oni will be released

iphone and apple products have never been about doing more things, it has always been about doing things right, even if it means doing less things. Smartphones didn't really catch on till apple made the iphone, they brought something to the market which people could understand and use. So the iphone is good because of the user experience, which is something no other phone can come close to competing.

If the n900 had the same user experience perfectionist nature as apple did with their iphone, the n900 would be one heck of a beast. The n900 is incredibly unpolished right now but its potential is incredible. Would love the n900 to be more refined, then it would kick the pants off the iphone.

Btw, people often mistake javascript and java. Your bank sites use javascript (they shouldn't really), not java. n900 doesn't support java applets as far as I know. You can try www.goproblems.com. That uses java applets.

I have the gameboy advance emulator on my n900, and I also have scrumm VM to play some of the old adventure games which I miss.

I replied to your post, did you read it?

Please be helpful, he's just asking about games and entertainment value. You can't deny iphone does have a lot of games and apps, but he's pushing apple's agenda, he wants to know what the n900 can offer and make a more educated choice.

Don't let your hatred for apple fanboism blind you.

You can't really say that. It would be more apt to say that its a phone for tinkerers, but not necessary IT people. My cousin loves the iphone because apple did a smartphone "right", its very usable, the apps work well and there's a huge amount of apps in the app store (apple really knew how to push it out and market it). He's a programmer that does PS3 game programming, so if you want to say he's not a techie/IT person he out qualifies most of us here

The iphone is also used a lot by Microsoft employees (the tech side). So don't be so quick to think that the iphone is only for novice users. They're doing something right, and all other phone companies should be learning from them.


They did alot more than that. Polishing even BASIC features like that they did is no easy task, if you've done any UI development work and testing with users, you'd be surprised how many idiots are around However what they did was more than just the UI, they had a whole plan, and everything was executed together properly. It wasn't half-assed, and when the iphone was launched, they were already bringing in tons of developers for the phone.


Agreed, its horribly overpriced.

You're wrong here. Even when the first iphone was launched, it was behind in features and even in hardware specs. You could find phones that were more powerful than it, but you could not find one so properly designed. Its like driving a BMW vs driving a proton. They were worlds apart. Now look at all the smart phones, they stole UI ideas from the iphone, almost every single phone uses their interface.

I got the n900 because I find it better than the iphone for my needs Using ssh on an iphone is PAINFUL, its a pleasure on the n900 Browsing with flash, multitasking, good integration with skype/IMs makes me love this phone. The problem is, this phone is half-baked at the moment. Nokia released it as a "development" phone for people to test and play to get ready for meego.

My only worry about the n900 is that nokia will stop providing support for it (there's alot of worry of fremantle abandonment when harmattan is released) and then we'll have a phone that is only 1/2 of what it could be. Nokia is known to do this, so its one of my worries.

Now where's my PR 1.2!
