Welcome

Welcome to my blog.

The Nokia N900 is a very underrated thing of beauty, an almost perfect device but lacking in one key element... Usability!

This is a device that out of the box is an amazing piece of hardware with the curse of a severely under developed Operating System, things didn't get any better as Nokia almost immediately dropped the Maemo OS to move on with a new venture in Meego. Fortunately development was handed over to the community and has recently bloomed.
The N900 is still a device that will seem like a slab of stone with a chisel unless the user is quite technically minded and that's the purpose of this blog, to inform people of the wonderful things that can be done to turn this device into a killer!

Transition to Android

Ever since the NitDroid project started I've been a keen follower, the concept that the n900 may soon have a fully functioning Android port is verfFfly exciting.
Android froyo can do everything i need a phone todo, and the n900 has the perfect hardware.
Flash 10.1 and now 3g this project is almost to the point where i would consider moving completely to Android.
So far there are a few issues that still need resolving before its ready for me

Sms sending.
Full phone call support.
Gps.
500mhz cpu lock issue causing the phone to get hot and drains battery fast.
Full gpu support

Once these are fixed i dont see any reason to stay on maemo, that doesnt mean i wont leave it on dual boot just incase.
