N900 joins my army!!

Some of my friends know my story with N900… It wasn’t a pleasing start, but the journey is quite intertaining…

Anyway, I went to Alghanim X-CITE to buy it (Costs 170KD cash)… Went back home… Installed my favorite softwares and all…

I even installed Aircrack-ng and Macchanger… But here’s what pissed me off (Actually, I was cool with it until eLeet bitched about it) is that the mic doesn’t work. As in, I have to connect my mic.

Anyway, I went to Alghanim (2 days after) telling them that the mic doesn’t work. They sent me to FCC (Kuwait’s Nokia authorized seller\workshop\whatever) to check and report.

I went to FCC and they said they have to send it to their workshop for 1 week… Yes, as if I’m going to wait for a week with no mobile…

I went back to Alghanim, they replaced the phone in the spot.

Now, went back home with the new mobile (And the mic works!), re-installed my shit and more… And now I’m enjoying the hell out of it… Good softwares as a start… Good sound system and awesome headset…

I just love Maemo… Native terminal… Multi-tasking… Can run 10 apps in the same time safely without any sign of lag or latency…

Now, here’s a hint on how to install Aircrack-ng and others:

Go to App. Manager >> Application Manager (Click on top bar) >> Application catalog >> New >> Fill in the following:

Catalog name: Maemo extras-devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

Click save

Then update App. manager and check the packages there and you’ll find’em both (Or you can just apt-get update\upgrade\install aircrack-ng macchanger)…

I’ll keep poking around with it and probably update things… I still haven’t forgotten about my operation, I’m just waiting for some good timing =D

  1. Thanks all… And yes, I can root it (Or how would I’ve been able to run aircrack-ng\macchanger?)

    In fact, I might take it for a spin and probably give a video demonstration on doing it =D

  2. LOL good story and it have a good price too (considering the price of the mobiles these days ) i thought it would be at least 200 and something…congrats on the new phone 🙂
    now I understand why my brother calls it the best although he don’t own one…maybe will in the future.

  3. I just got the N900 as well and I’m really liking it. Don’t know if you have seen this or not, but check out this link.
