SIM card carriers

Hi all;

anyone know which US wireless carriers (other than T-mobile) support SIM cards 
(i.e. can/will activate the N900) ?

Thanks in advance

N900 as an internet device

2010-03-08 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi all;

2 questions:

1) I've recently seen that there's an app for the palm pre that turns it into 
w wireless access point. Is there a similar app for the N900

2) Other than a wireless access point app, how do I use my N900 to connect my 
Linux laptop to the internet?


Thanks in advance

 Wouldn't it just be easier to connect your laptop directly to the
 internet?  As far as I know, the N900 doesn't have an ethernet
 connection, so everything, both the laptop and internet connection, have
 to use WiFi.

I want a solution where I have a phone signal but no internet access available

entering phone numbers

2010-01-01 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi all;

I find that on my N900, when I add a new contact I cannot add any parens or 
dashes (or maybe I just dont know how). So instead of this :
123-456-7899

I have to use only numbers like this:
1234567899

which is much less readable.  However if I mail a contact to myself that I've 
added via Kontact then the dashes are retained.

Anyone know how to add dashes to a phone no field on the device?


Thanks in advance

N900 memory usage

2009-12-28 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi all;

I've bought a 16G SD card for my N900. When I go to Settings -- Memory I see 
this:

Nokia N900:
21.13 GB Available

Memory Card:
11.10 GB Available

Memory for installable applications
1.82 GB available


Can anyone tell me what the  Memory for installable applications is used for 
and why do I have only 1.82 GB available? Is this a normal scenario?

Thanks in advance

cannot download LCARS themes

2009-12-24 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi All;

I just got a new N900 - it rocks. However I cannot download any of the lcars 
theme's.

On my N900, I browse to maemo.org then select Downloads and I select OS2008. 
In the Desktop Environment category I find the lcars-complete and click on it's 
download link.

my device then automatically takes me to the app manager, then I see a 
'preparing for installation message',  then after that's done I see this 
message:

Unable to download 'lcars-complete'
Application package not found.

I've tried downloading the file and browsing to it via the file manager and I 
get the same results.

Same thing happens for all the start trek themes

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance
