Nokia N900 has landed and is ready to depart

Saturday, December 12, 2009

After over a month of waiting I have finally received my very own, much anticipated Nokia N900. Yay! But… well, it quickly turned out that initial impression wasn’t too much to “yay” about, as my N900 unit is apparently affected with random reboots issue. Despite quite positive contribution of Nokia engineers to Maemo Bugzilla entry regarding this issue, the exact cause wasn’t determined (yet) and the most likely explanation is simply a piece of faulty hardware within the unit I have.

Device is powered by Debian-based distro, with Hildon desktop on top, which basically is GNOME for handheld devices. Not surprising that I found a solution for changing fonts on GNOME’s website.
