The Maemo Handheld Owners Club

[Xenium]

Meego OS is in development stage which is being tested on the N900 for Handhelds (Meego is from Nokia and Intel for upcoming devices)

and same here i just got it too so i didn't even overclock it and it doesn't really need it now after a few months the real test begins for my N900

Okay I have 2 questions. I know the browser of n900 supports flash but when I play some videos on facebook it say get the flash player. I downloaded it. It showed many versions. The version I downloaded is there in my file manager but I can install it. A bit of help needed on this. =/

Second question. Where can I get vertsms? I really need this app. Exact link would be really helpful.

go to your app manager and then select download which will show you categories
select utilities and search for the Tweak Flash Plugin Version
download this application and install it (WIFI or GPRS Needed)
This might help you in solving your first issue

Yeah went there. Found a lot of applications but not vertsms. Did find fast sms instead. It's a good application but I can't figure out how to turn t9 off in it. =/

can someone post a few links to N900 forums, or some other sites that show what can be done with this phone? i'd really appreciate it.

maemo.org (and the talk.maemo.org forums) are the only place you need to go.

thanks for the link....but i was looking more for something that maybe has a few guides or tutorials (like for example, showing how to OC on the n900, or maybe just how to use the command lines on maemo)....i am a pretty technical person myself, but i've never dealt with this phone and never really used linux...so just wanted to get a feel for it...

Just search for the official overclocking thread on talk.maemo.org or the N900 wiki present there. Everything (literally, everything) you would want to do with the phone is present there.

Haven't used that application as i use the built-in virtual qwerty keyboard or the physical one (which is much better and easier)

Bro you can look at different N900 Blogs which covers almost everythin about overclockin through kernels as well as through the apps built for it and available on maemo.org... whereas the command lines are concerned hackm0d is right as mostly the community is actively used... though Meego is slowing things down for Maemo (sad i know)
