Hi Friends,
I have seen quite some threads here about the Nokia N900 but I'm not sure if they are still being maintained. I plan to share what I know about this cool device. I'm a new owner of the Nokia N900 but I've been reading up about it for quite some time, since it uses a Linux-based OS (Maemo 5) and I've been hooked into Linux-based Operating Systems as well (visit our thread in my signature for the Linux thread - Ubuntu).
I'll post some tutorials here with step-by-step procedures and, as much as possible, include some screenshots as well. Then I'll link whatever knowledge-sharing, tips and tricks, or tutorials that you may share here at the first Page so that it will be easier for visitors to find what they need. I'll update this thread as much as I can.
