Added on January 27, 2012, 4:35 pmhye guys. just found out about this thread/forum recently. didn't know that there are a lot more Maemo users out there as well! so first of all i'd like to show my N900 that i've owned since May 2010 (almost 2 years now). it's in stock state now after playing with numerous stuff (Nitdroid, Debian, Ubuntu, CSSU, etc). i get bored easily so when i was done playing with all of it i reflashed it. so here's a couple of pictures of my beloved device:

the leather casing that i am using is from PDAir which i bought for 30 USD. another brand that i would recommend for a premium feel would be Melkco, but the magnetic stud seems a bit bigger though.

and if there's anyone wondering about 32gb memory cards on the N900, here's a photo of my Sandisk 32gb Micro SDHC Class 4. i got it shipped from the states. apparently there's a new memory card format called SDXC, which its capacity is currently at 64gb Class 6, the highest so far. i did not have a chance to test it yet, so if anyone who has tried it, do let us know if it works.

you already install CSSU stable ah? if you already install that then the command should work.

Well if you want a end-user experience and don't want to risk the instability of the testing version, then i would recommend you to install the stable version. But if i am not mistaken the command should work the the testing version as well.

i bought it at their site bro for 30 USD (i forgot how much it became after convert). they shipped it to me after 10 days like that after making the order. i highly doubt that they sell in Malaysia cause accessories for the N900 are really hard to find. if you can't buy it online, try checking THIS thread out. i haven't try it out myself, so you should ask around there first.

have you guys tried Yappari? is it working well here?

It's running on Java right? Is the battery consumption stable/minimal? The last time i saw it someone mentioned it was power hungry, and so is Wazapp. But it was quite a while ago when i read that.

ohh alright thanks for the info

hey guys wanna give a heads up. i decided to part ways with my beloved N900. i've not been using it for a while so i decided to sell it. the condition is excellent; buttons still working and not worn off, slider is still tight, no scratches on the bezel at all (confirm) and the magnet stand is still working. however there's only one noticeable mark, which is on the right side of the keyboard. other than that zero markings and excellent condition. for those of you who are interested, have a look here MY N900. thanks and have a nice day
