Generating F(n) keys with SU-8W
I just bought a Nokia SU-8W keyboard for my N800 and N770, and have it paired up with the N800, but I cannot figure out how to generate an F(n) key - e.g. I cannot figure out how to generate a CTRL-F4 to close a window. I've tried CTRL-Fn then key, Alt-Fn then key, Fn+key, to no avail. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Nokia_Siemens_Networks_launches_pocket-sized_VoIP
It sounds like not actually using the SIM card for wireless service, but rather as a way to bill/charge for VoIP when out in the world, presumably using someone elses (paid or free) wireless connection. Possibly a way for mobile carriers to break into the SkypeOut market. It presumably would come with (likely Windows-only) software for doing VoIP and handling billing/authentication through the SIM card ID. Ryan Jonathan Greene wrote: Sounds cool!

synchronization with MS exchange
Hi everyone, My new Nokia N800 should arrive tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I've been using a Palm m130 for years now and the killer feature has been synchronizing contacts and my calendar. I would miss meetings if my PDA didn't beep and remind me of them. ;) Can I use the N800 to do repeatedly to manual one or two-way syncs from MS Exchange to the N800 and have the meeting reminders cause the N800 to sound an reminder alarm at the appropriate time? I can also code, so if there is some work in progress for this, then please point me to it.

Re: further beating on OS2008 beta
For information mplayer is available on os2008. If i remember it s available on extra-devel repostory. - Original message - All, So far a large part of my problems are sitting around apps that aren't yet ported to 2008. unzip, radio, mplayer, nmap, omweather are a few that are in the repository but don't install. For now there are some things I don't understand. I'm not trying to step on toes. I just don't understand. 1. Why did Nokia decide to change the industry defacto standard term plugin and change it to component? tools components shows you the browser plugins. 2. Why oh Why did someone take something as useful as xterm and improve to the point of being almost unusable? I can't file bugs, as it is apparently doing what it is supposed to. However, what it does really drives me nuts. Maybe it's just me. Why did they remove the useful tabs and replace it with multiple windows? Given that there is no WM in the traditional sense you can't resize and move between them easily. Tabs afforded the ability to quickly manage multiple term windows (my record on the IT is 10 tabs.) Windows bring this to a grinding halt. Why did they move the button bar to the bottom. Down there is steals valuable screen real-estate from you. Why is it that they split the adjust background color and font color into two different locations in the settings gui? Why did they increase the steps to use the ctrl key in the button bar? Before to do cntrl-c it was 2 clicks one on cntrl one on c ... now it's 5. cntrl - text box - c - ok - screen during this time the keyboard closes 2 or 3 times. This can make vi a real PITA too. Perhaps I'm just using the IT differently from most, I don't view it as sterility a muti-media toy. To me it's my #1 tool for doing my job, so perhaps I'm a bit sensitive. Sorry if I sound ranty I don't mean to be but I am wondering why so may drastic changes were made to a really good app. James ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Nokia_Siemens_Networks_launches_pocket-sized_VoIP
Fred/Ryan, I think that the reason for incorporating the SIM this solution that it contains a credential (lets call it a billable entity) that can be used by the mobile operator to authenticate the user and direct the VOIP call to that service provider's SIP service. That way, said operator can charge the user for whatever service is provided.
