Maemo

My first experience of it is on the Nokia N900 and it is the Canines Cajones.

Needs a bigger battery though.

I have heard it takes 30 sec to load Kmail and that 60% of the apps don't work yet. The potential is unquestionable tho.....

Yeah, I like it - not tried Kmail but the built in mail app works nicley enough.

The only thing I hav found not to be working is quake II probably because I haven't installed the PAK files yet so not surprising really, and I have tried a fair few apps.

Slight delay scrolling fast through full screen pictures but this is cured by giving it a moment to cache them, there are a lot of pictures on the sd card I put in it - I need to copy them over to the phone memory and compare.


Bounce evolution is stunning - and is way smoother on the phone.



Much testing of stuff to do on the weekend.

Oh, and Tux Racer with accelerometer support is way too much fun.

How do you connect ($$$$) wifi or are you financing the telecom? (I am a greenhorn with "phones")

Any downloading I use wifi - GPRS for messaging and browsing - I have unlimited data (with fair usage limit) free calls and texts for £35 a month.
