Yep got it! At this point I'm only able to have music and photos from the memory card I bought. Even the Ovi Suite I'm not able to connect to.

 

btw.. there's an update going on last night.

updating minor things. (not sure what the detail is..)

but you should be able to get it at the application manager.

BTW: to get more applications for our N900..
add a new catalog in the application manager

Catalog name: Maemo Extras-devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

from here, you should be get a lot applications for your n900. XD

applications that i find myself using often:
Xournal --> a note taking application where you can actually write on it. (or type if you choose)
FlashLight --> using the LED flash as a flashlight. (bright enough).

others, you'll just have to try if it suits you.

have fun!!

 

I only got a Maemo update last night, is that what you was referring to?

 

yeah.. it shld.

and you did get urself the application catalog right?? the third party application..

 

I'm messing with it now while at work! I'm on the Maemo site now looking for it.

 

Where did you get the Flashlight app from?

 

did u install the new catalog that i said?

if so, u'll find it there..

 

I'll check again. I'm sure I did. I probably overlooked it.

 

Found it. I overlooked it. There's a lot of apps here.

 

Are we the only two tinkering with these? Hopefully a few more people will chime in on their experiences with it.

 

^^^^

haha... not many people appreciate the power of nokia.. when there's so many phones that MIGHt be better. (Iphones and blackberriess..google phones..)

 

yeah, MIGHT is the word.

 

^^^^ i dont think i mention this to you yet

If you plan to buy extra battery for your n900.

NEVER NEVER NEVER buy it from ebay!. lol.

well, i did bought one for my previous phone. (its from china) it SUCKS!.

 

I didn't want to go the ebay route but I did buy one from Amazon for like 27 bucks. How do you delete an app after you downloaded it? Would I have to sync it to my pc in order to do it?

 

Did you get any new updates? Mine acted up (everything was slow to open) but now it's ok.

 

ohh!! sorry to reply so late!!!

you can delete applications in the application manager!!

and for updates... checking now....

 

Any luck on the updates??

 

nope nothing.

probably the update's the old one that i had already?

 

Have you have any luck in using the front camera? Unlike the N95 8GB in which I could use the front camera to take pics, I can't even get it to turn on.

 

I love my n900 its a badass phone.

 

Welcome to the very, very, very few of us that has it. Make sure you register your phone and go the the Discussions forum on Nokia website to learn more about it.

 

Here's one of the screen shots on my phone.
