Advertisements One of our readers Gemma sent us an email asking for a short how-to on using your Nokia smartphone as a 3G modem. Given that it’s something I felt like a great deal of our readers would benefit from (if they didn’t already know :-P) I decided to take up the torch and do […]
[To download, you will need Extras Level Catalogue for the app manager. Click here for instructions. As well as Instant Messaging style texts, you also get IM built in. However, there are only a few clients available by default (Google talk, Ovi Chat). When I saw “Pidgin protocols…” highlighted below, I thought it was for […]
If you delved into the realms of “Extras Testing” applications, an app there may possibly have caused a fault in your N900 giving you “Unable to install __insert__app_name” errors. Since Christmas day I’ve been unable to find the answers to fix Unable to install ‘Bounce Evolution’ Unable to install ‘Hermes’ Unable to install ‘MooBox’ etc. […]

[Ctrl+Shift+P to print screen] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0TN3GKv-LI] We’ve had customizable desktops/homescreens on a Nokia for quite a while […]
This is a quick video that shows how to remove the battery cover and also how to insert a wrist strap. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYrPvIsVBj4] The back cover mechanism has been gradually refined over the years with Nseries. I remember the flimsy connecting stubs of the N95 and N93’s battery covers; they were so weak, they broke if […]
Unlike the N97, the Nokia N900 takes advantage of its QWERTY keyboard and utilises some helpful shortcuts to allow for certain actions or to just make some a bit quicker. Here I’ll compile the keyboard shortcuts for the N900. I don’t know them all yet, some I only picked up yesterday thanks to your tips […]
