After removing the 8GB microSDHC from the N900 it boots fine.
I’m in love again.
I’ll be loading comics up on Sunday and back in action.
But now my SIM is back in the E72 so perhaps I need a T-Mobile USA SIM.

Love how the E72 glitters in the Sun. Only one more app to transfer to the new IMEI and I’ll be back in action.
I love profimail and Quickoffice. Worth every cent.
Already used joikuspot to get my N900 on 3G while out for New Years Day.
Forget the E71 + iPod Touch combo. This is even better.
I had a filesystem issue on the N900. The issue on a BSD or Linux server at the office would be nothing but I do not want to deal with bugs of this magnitude on my N900. If my holiday photos are gone I will be done with Maemo until the N900 has a proper followup.
I should have used rsync!
The camera crashed and took down the entire device.
Now my microSDHC, swap and one more volume do not mount on boot.
I can see fstab is only one line but perhaps that’s the norm.
More info when the problem is fixed.
I’ve seen the future.
The people will get sick of Ed Zander #2 AKA Ralph de la Vega, his excuses regarding a 30$ data plan, and how somehow that does not justify always on DATA.
The soccer Mom’s of Cupertino rocking iPhones the last couple years will drop ATT for CDMA/EVDO clunkers running Android.
I heard exactly THAT conversation from two old ladies when out for lunch today. Can you imagine two Senoritas debating the merits of various Android devices over lunch? That’s today’s Silicon Valley.
Thanks iPhone it’s been fun but So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
I should have the N900 next week and just in time.
My E51 battery is toast, the screen was flickering Wednesday and I dropped my Touch 2G.
I’m looking forward to having a handheld Debian device.
I hope the display is more responsive than the “stab me please” Nokia 5800.
1) Grannies talk about firmware updates
2) Localization is slick [ Chinese support for my lady ]
3) Less people cry when paying for a device
4) HSPA infrastructure gets upgrades [ My E51’s 850 HSPA works everywhere ]
5) Venture Capital care about Mobile software
6) Normal people want to chat about Mobile [ even Android ]
7) Nokia got a kick in the ass
8) Hot girls at Mobile Monday
A few thoughts gathered in Beijing and Chengdu.
The kiosks at the airport look better than any other SIM and/or calling card vendor and kudos for sticking a cute girl in a uniform with the machine in the heavy traffic areas. Your storefronts are mostly dumps run by old people with zero devices.
You need beautiful showrooms like the China Mobile shop in Xidan. I see you’re building a storefront downtown but I see nothing to indicate your services from outside. There’s a SIM vendor on my block but nobody in the area knows it’s there.
Your web presence is a joke. Look at NTT and China Mobile for a better example. 10010.com? Get your act together. Where are the prices for WO? You let people TXT in to buy data but what about prepaid visitors?
Advertise your 3G as compatible with Nseries and the E71.
What you might want but will not see this June.
1) HTC style sexy. So you think the Diamond 2 or Touch HD looks hot? Forget it!
2) AMOLED display. This would prolong the terrible battery life and lead the pack. Are you joking?
3) 802.11n support like the rest of the product lines. It’s not common yet and apple needs to keep the BOM under 180$ Get stuffed!
4) Slider keyboard. Like the HTC stuff? The device is already fragile. Any moving parts and it’ll fall to pieces in months. Apple wants it to be fragile but not if it costs them cash on RMA headaches.
5) Tegra. I’m ready for a HD portable video appliance. Saturate rubbish North American networks with 720p or god forbid 1080p video from iTunes? No! Protect that weak and sick beast apple tv.
6) RAM. We can never get enough. Remember NeXT? My first unix workstation maxed out at 32meg of ram. The next iteration maxed out at 128meg. It took a hell of a long time to get past that limit. We’ll be lucky to get 192meg on the next device.
7) flac. Normal people demand toiletflushing and random noise under the banner of A2DP. Apple lossless is OK. No idea why this is outside of the ecosystem. Unlike most formats it should have zero IP issues.
8) snapdragon. Apple should be working on an inhouse CPU by now. So I’ll say no-way for that one reason.
9) LTE. I’m guessing 2011 or 2012, if ever.
How will they impress us again? I have idea but I’ll want the next iPhone as much as anyone else.
