Although Nokia N900 has support for Polish UI and input language out-of-the-box, every Polish user of this device would most definitely agree that typing anything that involves specific Polish characters like żażółć gęślą jaźń is a huge pain. For those who don’t know – every national char has to be entered via little on-screen virtual keypad that appears after pressing Fn+Ctrl keyboard combination.

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. Having no software-based solution to this yet and knowing there are lots of happy random reboot-less users of N900 out there, I’m planning to arrange a warranty replacement for my N900 next week, so hopefully new unit will work properly.

I’ve just came back from N900 meetup held in London tonight, 17th of November 2009 that is. There are few things I’d like to point out.

Nokia N900 has been finally announced, oh yes! This is the device I am really, really looking forward to get – even more than any new Android device that could possibly get released this Autumn/Winter. Having some previous experience with Nokia Internet Tablets, and now reading the official specs of N900 I can without much hesitation say that N900 is going to be groundbreaking device for Nokia and is quite likely going to lead the path that future handsets from Finland might follow.
When you pay for something upfront and then never get it, what that is? I’d say a theft. Having said that, turns out Nokia is a thief.
If I was ever trying to find the right way of describing differences between Nokia E71 and HTC Magic, I’d say that E71 is like loving, caring and hard-working but not-so-beautiful wife, while Magic is hot and sexy wamp, ready to please you in any way you want, but not care about you much after that.
This is assuming your E71 with 200-series firmware is already hacked with HelloOX and Open4All patch by ROMPatcher, and you have full access to c:\sys and others.
Now, here’s the thing to do before upgrading to the latest 300-series firmware using X-Plore (or any other file manager of your choice):
Upgrade the firmware. Once that’s done, install HelloOX (assuming it was already signed for your phone with OPDA certificate!) and execute it. It will do its job, making your E71 hacked and ready for Field Test Display aka NetMonitor again. :)
