And I have good news, it works perfectly fine on any EU Milestone using a hacked version of the Maps app. I use it myself.
Same, mind you ever road comes up as 'unknown' road on the directions which is annoying.

All the browsers on other phones pure suck in comparison, was looking about for a possible replacement earlier today. Looks like I'll be sticking with it after all.
Wow N900 dropped back to the 4th page...
Anyone overclocked theirs from 600mhz yet? Mines currently running at 750mhz and sees quite a bit smoother. A few people over at maemo.org have overclocked theirs to 1ghz!! lol
Battery use is kinda unknown yet.

Ive just upped my to 800mhz, seems to be running fine at the moment.
I can't see how I would benefit from it running faster and wouldn't want to risk borking it
But I'll have a read
I've noticed the web pages load faster and the navigation is a lot smoother also.

Cant find a decent browser on other platforms to replace this phone. Guess I'll wait.
I've had my N900 for a few weeks and really need to get something to protect it. Anyone have any recommendations?
I'd like something that will protect against the inevitable accidental mistreatment that happens when a 3-year-old gets hold of a phone!
Which is better for protection, crystal or silicon, or a leather pouch/case with some stick on shield? Is the InvisibleShield as good as it's made out to be?
(sorry if it's earlier in the thread, I searched for "case" and saw nothing obvious!)
Thanks.

Zagg Invisishield works well, adds no bulk. Not 100% coverage though.
+1
I have had mine covered with this since december and it is still looking good..

Pipboy theme is kinda win imho.
/geekAnyway, lots (and I mean LOTS) of nice stuff in extras-devel at the minute, downloaded a lot of it to try and help get it through to testing.
Irrco is a very nice app, like a universal remote control in your phone. Finally something to make use of that infra red port. Definately reccommend it.
Numpty Physics is there too...

Is there any reason why apple headphones don't work properly with the n900, and the n900 headphones don't work with an ipod.
Took my skullcandy headphones that i use at the gym with my ipod to the hospital with me to use with the n900. one side didn't work so tried my gf's iphone headphones that she carries round with her, just got a highpitch noise. Thought my headphone jack on the phone was broke (which really annoyed me). it wasn't till i got home 3 days later and tried another set of headphones that i realised my skullcandy's were broke and the apple's just don't work with this phone. Seems the n900 headphones don't work with the ipod either as i took them to the gym the other night as i've not managed to get a replace set for my ipod yet. Only seem to get half the sound, unless you press the buttons in the wire.

Got a link to that theme mate, or is it in a special repo? Can't seem to find it
Also, what's that funny icon below your Wifi?
Its in Extras-Devel: (Development, meaning might brick your phone)
Anyway, yeah, I fixed mine from a bricking using the Windows flasher, so I'm happy enough to fiddle with it + report bug.....and there is bugs, dont bother with Theme Hospital, OpenTyrian or the copy of Stellarium in Devel, they dont work, and Stellarium will just crash your phone. I dont even dare try the overclocking app! Though for the most part, a lot of it works fine.
The wee icon is cpumem-app. Guess what it shows!
Not really neccessary, I think I only put it back on when fiddling with something, never bothered deleting it again. Theres a wee app called "Auto Disconnect" in Devel. Very handy that one, disconnects idle connections, I'm terrible for leaving them connected.

Have you got that remote working with anything yet mate?
So I just got one of these yesterday. Managed to lose my N97 while away for the weekend (seriously) and when I went to make an insurance claim to get a replacement they told me the N97 isn't made any more and they have none in stock, and none of my local carphone warehouse stores have one in stock so I'd have to drive to Luton to get one. I told them to get stuffed and they suggested an N97 mini which I also refused as it's too small.
Then I suggested an N900 as a possible replacement, they agreed and sent me to Newport to collect it.
Win.
Symbian really does look like a clunky piece of crap in comparison and I'm still finding my way around the phone and figuring it out. I like how the very first app it offered me to install was adblock plus. Apple would never allow that.

Anyone recommend a decent dashboard mount. Looking for something I can stick above the instrument cluster that will hold the phone in landscape mode, either open or shut, and still allow the camera a view of the road ahead.
Preferably something designed specifically for the N900 since most of the generic ones look awful.
