About a month ago, I wrote a post about firmware update wishlist for the N900. Last week, we had 2 firmware updates, a mini one and a big one. I’ll combine the observations of both in this post. The new firmware updates seems to have solved a few items on that list including: 2. Portrait […]

Flashlights/Torches – never really around when you need one. Often, it’s too dark to go look for where you’ve put one. Maybe you don’t even have a torch.
