congratulation on v10

what program is that? I see mstardic and qstardic in repo but didn't provide the datafile, and heard unstable as well

I got 2 files to select
stardict-comn_sdict05_chinese-eng-2.4.2.tar.bz2
stardict-comn_sdict_axm05_chinese-eng-2.4.2.tar.bz2

are they the same?

I got the oxford copy, but it is only one way english dictionary, i think need to find another chinese dictionary then

anyone tried using AMSN? heard it works with video call?

pardon me for intruding everyone mood in Nokia event but I wish to express that isn't we choose N900 due to it's open design and function over than it is from NOKIA, I believe everyone here is not a fruit fanatic, and so we shouldn't be a NOKIA fanatic also.

What Nokia choose their path is their decision, we are the end-user and we choose what phone suites to us. Believe me that when I decide to purchase a new phone, I am torn between N900 and Desire Z, but I choose N900 due to it's open concept and functions, not because it is Nokia

So, I hope everyone please drop off the mood and cheer up, N900 not quite dead yet, it is still being supported for the time being, and everyone should remember that you can't use the phone for eternity, sooner or later N900 will die like any phone, so is the support.

Now...anyone use AMSN before

p.s. if I hurt anyone, please accept my apology

there is a new version release on xmas, but seems not much people interested and didn't see any comment about it, heard MSN changing the video chat protocol causing all other MSN imitator unable to use video chat. I am really interested with MSN video chat cause over 90% people are using it. Nobody want to install skype

p.s. MSN Butterfly video chat is disabled, should be due to new MSN protocol barring it

p.p.s I think Intel will step in to produce a handphone sooner or later, just like the rest, everyone want to share a pie in handphone business, I don't think Intel will ignore it

suddenly got a wild thought, if we can link to wifi network, connect to LAN, is it possible to send document to network printer for printing

No, I am not jumping, I use the machine follow my requirement, not by brand, if Nokia did release a good W7 phone, or an android phone, or an Meego phone or ever s^3 phone , and it suites my taste, I will buy it, not because Nokia drop Maemo/Meego and I boycott their product

Am I miss informed or my phone got problem, N900 unable to read gif file?
Not actually cannot read...I can force it to open using file manager, but the gif is not animated, in All Image, it is a broken thumbernail and unable to click open.

yeah , just found it at the big brother maemo talk

eventhough gif is old fashion, but it is used among all phones for sending animated mms

till now still got N900 available outside

you can make your own or go to maemo.org to download some, tab on empty screen to call out setting and select desktop menu to change background...

lowyat of course

dr launch? certain program like gyianz said comes in portrait mode, there is a portrait mode for sms.
but N900 more suitable in landscape mode, you will get use to it

set it to always ask is the safest way. it will ask for connection when needed.

choosing which mode is just the connection speed to the operator, it got nothing to do with the phone (I notice if you having phone call, the speed will drop down a little), so if you never let it get online (always ask), you won't be charged. However do note that, once you get online to say check a mail, send a MMS, quick check on a webpage, run GPS, it doesn't just do one thing only, if it got the change to online, it will use the line to check everything in background. Let say you just want to check a mail and turn it off in a minute, within that minute, the phone may use the connection to check what program to update, updating weather report, check any RSS you may have, depend on your connection speed (3G,2G whatever) it might use up few megabytes of data within that minute.

if you set to always ask for connection, it won't auto switch to online mode if cannot detect WIFI running (although there is a setting to let it switch to 3G/2G, double check your setting)

--------------------

as for my little question I notice when I take picture(default, bless or Fcam), the clock is running off 8 hours earlier which is GMT time, is it really working that way or some where I need to set it match up with my local time? My phone time indeed is local time now

why not search at garage sales, send to your doorstep

isn't you use the microb browser to open youtube? I don't see any problem watching it

go to the last section in setting, and click about product

yeah, it is CSSU, but it is better left for advance user to try for the moment, it will cause some program malfunction and there is no way turning back unless reflash your phone

cause you are advance user
N900 is my one and only phone, don't want to risk anything yet I always turn off extra-dev unless want to download one of the program in there (preenv one of them)

have tried remove battery a momet and restart again?
