    N900 Set To Fail

    I'm enjoying my N900. It has its issues, and it's annoying that it's now an entirely dead platform, falling just under the bar of requirements for Flash 10.1 and that Nokia are no longer doing any work on releasing Meego on N900. But it could be worse, I could own an iPhone...

    Fennec

    I don't have my Pandora yet, so you'll have to make do with my N900, but I am going to make a browser comparison video between MicroB(n900 default browser), Midori, Chromium, Fennec 1.1 Nightly and Opera Mobile. I'm not sure how useful this will be to people, but I'm bored, want to do something...

    Release Fennec 1.1 B1 Released

    I've got Firefox Fennec Nightly on my N900, it's pretty good. Not quite as quick as MicroB (the default N900 browser), but it's still pretty speedy and the interface is much MUCH better than MicroB, it's very finger friendly. Was this compiled directly for the Pandora, or is it just the .deb...

    Have You Checked Your Delivery Address?

    2 questions I would like answers to, please :D 1. My order confirmation email is timed at "30 September 2008 18:07:31" so where would that put me in the queue? 2. Any idea what company they are using for shipping, I'm confused as to whether it's Royal Mail or UPS (or someone else?)? (EDIT...

    Do You Use A Gnu/linux Distro On Your Main Computer?

    Windows 7 Pro x64 is my main, but I dual boot with Ubuntu 9.10 (I'm still new to all this linux stuff, so I went with Ubuntu as I could install it through Wubi) I am enjoying the dipping into Ubuntu, it's a nice OS, but it wont replace Windows 7 for me, as Windows 7 is just too awesome. But who...

    New Blog Post

    Paradox is just awful, isn't he/she? If I'm honest, I was expecting the Pandora to be fairly polished upon release. But having lurked on these forums since I preordered, I must say I'm happy with where the Pandora is today. I have learnt a hell of a lot reading these forums, about ARM and linux...

    Pangs Of Guilt

    I like your thinking! Honestly, I was just waiting for someone to come along like this and say it's ok to get one! Thank you for the input, I think I probably will get the N900 because I can get a decent offer on it, and it's the best phone, feature-wise, that I've seen. Still got to wait...

    Pangs Of Guilt

    Yeah I have looked at the Palm Pre and I do like the look of it, only problem is I don't think Vodafone offer it, and I'd quite like to stay with them, as once I move home from university this coming summer, I can't get signal from any other network but Vodafone. I have decided, though, that if...

    Pangs Of Guilt

    Resisting the urge to make a poll here, but... I have a Pandora on preorder, have had so since the 30th sept 08 - which I am really looking forward to getting hold of, it'll be the first gadget purchase of mine since the Nokia N95-8GB I got on contract back in November 2007. Said N95-8GB has...

    Anticipate The New Video Here

    Oh yeah I understand entirely that all this sort of thing is community driven. Although I don't know too much about linux and related things at the moment, I'm really looking forward to diving in and contributing where I can. That's one of the reasons the Pandora was a must buy for me, was due...

    Anticipate The New Video Here

    Wow brilliant videos, ED, really nice to see the range of choices for interfaces that we can use. Good to see the Amiga emu working so well, I can't wait to play Turrican again, I had the tune in my head all of last night after seeing that video. Also I agree with DaveC's interface choices for...

    Out Of Curiosity...

    I was 20 when I pre-ordered. In fact it was my birthday money that paid for the Pandora. (preordered on the 30th Sept 08, and lurked on the forum for 6 months) I am now 21. My first computer (it was the family PC) was an Amstrad 286 machine with a 40MB hard drive!! Many hours spent playing...

    Spoke To The Factory

    Aww noo :( don't say that! I will admit, yes, I am still slightly sceptical that it will all be plain sailing from here on in, but I'm optimistic that it'll all go well :D

    Spoke To The Factory

    Brilliant news! Looks like the past weekend's fussin' and a feudin' was for nothing! I look forward to hearing whether we can get those cases out of China before their New Year, I hope we can!
