**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 05 02:59:57 2011 Jul 05 11:17:00 Okay, I'm here. (courtesy of docscrutinizer) Jul 05 15:15:13 maybe nokia would be open to opening the n900 to the open source community an helping with some hardware Jul 05 15:16:00 Seems unlijkely. Jul 05 15:16:13 the n900 with an openmoko style backplate (non-slip) + flat Jul 05 15:16:16 There are stoll people bumbling around trying to RE the closed bits of the n900 Jul 05 15:16:57 cam+gsm? Jul 05 15:17:06 ... Jul 05 15:17:10 or the os? Jul 05 15:17:32 The n900 software has been very carefully written to avoid anything being able to replace the sytem daemons without a _whole_heap_ of work Jul 05 15:17:52 its a sweet os for me Jul 05 15:18:09 very much thought Jul 05 15:18:15 The 'system' applications are basically one ball of interconnected daemons that while some of them are open, talk to the others in undocumented ways., and are basically interconnected spiders. Jul 05 15:18:32 So - replacing - say - the battery managment one is probelmatic. Jul 05 15:18:38 it works great Jul 05 15:18:38 As it hooks into all of the others. Jul 05 15:32:53 fact: there are no N900 anymore Jul 05 15:33:27 Nokia can't even replace broken ones on warranty, they swap for a lousy N8 instead Jul 05 15:34:22 so get the last new ones from ebay/amazon/whatever while they last Jul 05 15:35:02 used ones a a gamble as you dunno what's been done to them regarding insane OC or damage to USB port Jul 05 15:36:01 * DocScrutinizer powers down his T900 to conserve the CPU ;-P **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 06 02:59:57 2011
