Hey Penguinbait!

If you want, I have some free space left in my server, so that you can host files free of charge!

woaw, nice views! watching skyes like these brings a magic athmosphere. it reminds of good old times traveling …or maybe even some good memories of …ehm… RPGs like zelda or final fantasy that i played as a kid …weird?
i can understand why u got so fascinated with these nature scenes and went frenzy photographing

great album by the way – now im longing to travel asap!

kind regards from a N900 user in sweden

hey there! nice blog, been reading through the last year now.

i agree that the N900 is a nice phone, but just like u said – its strange that a internet tablet doesnt have flash10.1 yet.
also its the same issue as with the older tablets. they had missing graphics drivers. N900 have graphic drivers in maemo but they are a bit outdated according to nokia. therefore it suffers from some VSYNC problems.

i will stick with the n900 though as its a really nice phone in many other aspects.

it was nice reading your review

kind regards

Hi penguinbait,

If you want, I can probably take over the hosting of the tablethacker domain, and you can put your files there, so the install files won’t break. Drop me a line if that interests you.

Comment on How to Burn a CD/DVD with KDE PBv4 (K3B) by penguinbait

This is for running on a Nokia 810. You cannot run wine or nero on the Nokia 810.

I still find Nero is one of the best, even if you use it in “Wine” mode

Hi, I’d like to react to this: “The main reason I have not been looking at the N900 is the price.”

I mostly agree with you, but I looked at the used prices. You can buy a 1-2 months old N900 for a very reasonable price, which is exactly what I did.

(I don’t care that it was used by someone else for some time, it doesn’t show on the exterior, and I also reflased the eMMC and the firmware, that’s it.)

I tried JoikuSpot, very nice, if they get out of beta, and my n900 stops rebooting everytime google loads. Very promising though, if they charge for it, I would probably just use DUN.

Why bother with DUN? Grab JoikuSpot and just connect via Wifi/NAT. Done. As for the phone’s cost, you’re paying more on a subsidized plan. Cell companies aren’t giving you the “free” phones for free. You’re paying for it, just as a bundled expense.

Even with AT&T, when I got mine direct, I moved the SIM over, and didn’t have to “upgrade” to a 3G data plan, since I don’t want or need 3G. That alone saved me more than the cost of the phone over the next 2 years.

Thanks, I did not realize the PC suite allowed this. I would be using Linux however, but I too would be shocked if there wasn’t a write up on how to do it on Linux too. Anyone seen it?

Thanks again speednut…

Again Day 4, I am still seeing what this thing can do.
