or get a nokia n900 (though my<br>
experience is that its a pile of junk - as i sit here now with my n900 having<br>
bricked itself spontaneously over a week ago, so i'm without a phone, 6000km<br>
from home, not to mention that windows 3.1 seems like a paragon of stability<br>
and solid performance compared to the n900 - the n900 would literally crash and<br>
restart the whole ui very few minutes or sooner at times, but it'd do this at<br>
least 5-10 times per day at a minimum).<br></blockquote></div><br>Well, I'm pretty late replying to this, since I've been so happily playing with my n900 that I haven't checked this list in a while. :-)<br><br>
There's apparently a HW/SW problem affecting a few n900s that cause very common reboots - they seem to have fixed it in the latest firmwarm - you can see the details in <a href="https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6334">https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6334</a><br clear="all">
<br>Also - this has some advice on how to unbrick the n900 - <a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba/Flash">http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba/Flash</a><br><br>I tend to get reboots a few times a week, which is still more often than most people seem to, so I'm going to try flashing the new firmware this weekend.<br>
<br>Even with the reboots, I *love* my n900... It's not perfect, but coming from using my FR as my daily phone for a year - the n900 is fantastic!!<br><br>Of course, maybe there will be even better options available soon! ;-)<br>
