Forgot to ask you, this is minor update only right? So, it can do hot update without reinstall and restore backup right?

Just wanna double-triple confirm, veyr lazy to re-do everything now

Thanks, I didn't meddle with CSSU, but I have enhance kernel... so, better don't try first until confirm, lol
Thanks again!

Sadly, not one phone can replace N900, it's still my primary device, I've use N8 and N9, without physical keyboard is just a nono; Secondly, n Flash, MeeGo lack of Desktop, etc. Without a good browser with Flash, I can't visit Desktop version sites, I never like browsing with FB App, I always browse Desktop sites on N900.

Waiting for a good Android qwerty device, which may never have; Droid 3 is "okok" but not officially available; Captivate Glide not idea coming here or not? Maybe the Xperia Pro, although spec is low, but the price is ok, plus it has good display and nice built quality. Maybe if there's a good telco plan which offer very cheap price for the phone...

via OTA? Did you have the custom kernel?

I got myself the Xperia Pro for about a month+ already; need a qwerty...

Despite that, I still go back and use my N900 occasionally... nothing can replace the N900 up till date... it's still the best internet tablet smartphone... best PC like experience...
Even with all the "boombastic" browser and latest Flash in Android, chrome-like Dolphin browser, Firefox, Opera, etc... none can beat the dinosaur-age Maemo browser.... My productivity and what I can do in, went down when using Xperia Pro... no true-multitasking is a real pain, selecting certain text to copy is real pain, no short-cut keys like "ctrl+A","ctrl+v", "shift+cursor", etc. is a real big pain, no mouse cursor activation can sometimes be problem when navigating DHTML or interactive site.

Playing videos with Maemo was the LEAST problem, except for high bitrate and/or resolution... With other OS, so many issues and limitation.

Why oh why... how I wish Maemo is continued to be enhanced and updated... and a new device like N900 with better spec is introduced; With today's processing power and ram + Maemo OS, it'll be a gem...
No, N9/MeeGo is NOT a replacement, it doesn't live up to what Maemo offers, except maybe for true multi-tasking.

Actually, if they put on effort into the OS, they can make the OS simple and easy to use; Photoshop is a very powerful tool, yet everyday they're improving the software to make it easier to use for beginners and make every process more simple. That's software.
For OS, there's no need to REMOVE functions/features, it can be set as option to turn off by default, so more advance users can enable it. In software, many things are flexible and customizable; but sadly, not many people understand software, it's different from hardware, but manufacturer's make people think of software like hardware.

Anyway, nowadays world, it's all about apps apps apps. Actually ever since the fruit blooms, they change the world perception, app-centric device. Who cares what the OS can do, it's all about what apps are available.


Thanks~
I know about it quite sometime ago when they were working on it, but didn't really bother to look further into it as HD videos are larger in size and also may have some playback issue (smoothness, etc) for certain formats as you said. Anyway, so far, comparing with other devices/OS running more powDerful hardware, it was a much more pleasant experience playback with the N900, same goes for web browsing and the best yet true-multi-tasking ability.

I still prefer N900 anytime.

This thread still alive, LoL!!! N9 thread died, LOL!!!

No idea, lol, less active compared to N900.
Personally, I still prefer N900 due to the qwerty, and also Maemo5 with Desktop.
