Has anyone used Queen bee widget app?
Just set it up like this on mine(robbed the screenshot from talk maemo but my screen shows the exact same minus the sygic shortcut) so that I can use these large shortcuts in the car when I get a windscreen mount.. Easy access to media player /fm transmitter + maps (if ovi ever get their act together) will be brill.
It's really customisable and you can create your own widgets for anything..0 -

Currently 'modding' my n900 to look like an iphone.. (this was my work untl last night):
And this is my work so far today:
All those are working shortcuts, when clicked they open up relevant apps/urls and i'm adding custom animations to each of them when time allows, Telephone, Calendar, Conversations, Camera, Facebook (microB), Image-viewer, Media Player, Firefox, Maps, Tweego
This is just the first desktop, the next desktop has more icons (opera browser, notes, shopper, contacts, x-terminal etc)
Next step to add a portrait rotate function to the icons themselves..which can be done using dbus commands but will take a while to figure out. If anyone wants to know how to do it i'll post instructions.0 -

Ok, (before i start it's very handy to have WinSCP and openSSH installed, otherwise just use USB connection to transfer stuff to phone, also note this can be quite time consuming but it is easy).
1. install Queen beecon widget from Appmanager
2. Install istyle light theme from appmanager
3. download this icon pack (contains some robbed and some i created myself)
4. extract those icons to images/queen_beecon_dir folder
5. go to the desktop, tap on screen, add new widget> queen beecon widget
6. have this page handy, you need to copy this to your phones clipboard without changing anything:[queen-beecon-header] version=1,000000 checksum=2422160 [queen-beecon-exported-instance] widgetType=1 widgetVisible=1 operationalStatus=0 hideCanvas=true snippetBgRGB=0 snippetExtBgRGB=#000000000000 beecon_lt0_ImgZoom=0 beecon_lt0_BgRGB=2 beecon_lt0_ExtBgRGB=#808080808080 beecon_lt0_ImgFilename=queen-beecon-syserr.png beecon_eq0_ImgZoom=0 beecon_eq0_BgRGB=3 beecon_eq0_ExtBgRGB=#0000ffff0000 beecon_eq0_ImgFilename=queen-beecon-appok.png beecon_eq1_ImgZoom=0 beecon_eq1_BgRGB=4 beecon_eq1_ExtBgRGB=#ffffffff0000 beecon_eq1_ImgFilename=queen-beecon-appwrn.png beecon_ge2_ImgZoom=0 beecon_ge2_BgRGB=5 beecon_ge2_ExtBgRGB=#ffff00000000 beecon_ge2_ImgFilename=queen-beecon-apperr.png beecon_idxge2_ImgZoom=0 beecon_idxge2_BgRGB=11 beecon_idxge2_ExtBgRGB=#0000ffffffff beecon_idxge2_ImgFilename=queen-beecon-index.png widWidth=381 widHeight=208 instanceTitle=LaunchContacts instanceCmd=run-standalone.sh dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:osso-addressbook rememberMe= cmdImgFilename=qbw_contacts.png cmdImgZoom=0 cmdFgRGB=1 cmdExtFgRGB=#ffffffffffff cmdTextAngle=0 cmdVisibilityPosition=0 cmdImgVisibilityPosition=5 cmdJustify=0 cmdExtFont=Nokia Sans bold italic 12 cmdFontName=3 cmdFontSize=12 resImgFilename=queen-beecon-resimg.png resImgZoom=0 resFgRGB=1 resExtFgRGB=#ffffffffffff resTextAngle=0 resVisibilityPosition=0 resImgVisibilityPosition=0 resJustify=0 resExtFont=Nokia Sans bold 12 resFontName=2 resFontSize=12 updOnStartup=false updOnClick=true updOnDesktop=false delayIndex=0 customIntervalSecs=0 updNeworkPolicy=0 updOnDBUS=0 updOnDBUSBus=0 updOnDBUSMatchRule=
6. now for the repetitive part. so tap and hold on your Queen beecon desktop widget until you see the little wrench icon.
7. now on the right hand side is a button that says 'Advanced' tap it, and say Yes to the warning
8. scroll down, to the bottom of this screen, there will be a blank white box, choose 'Paste clipboard to buffer' and then select 'Import Buffer to beacon' button.
9. choose YES
10. a successful message should appear.
11. next, wait a few seconds and the configure widget menu will reappear. so, choose the size of the icon (156 wide and 156 high) and scroll down until you see qbw-contacts.png and change it to contacts.png
12. next, you need to remove any text thats appearing over the icon, you will see a few boxes that say 'Position: top right' etc so select each one and manually change it to 'hidden' EXCEPT for the one beside the contacts.png image, if you change this, your icon will not appear.
also tick the box that says 'Hide background'
13. Then select save and run to test your widget.
Rinse and repeat!
Sorry these are rushed instructions and those screens are robbed, but if you need any more help just ask. or see this thread

This is the wiki link from Maemo: http://wiki.maemo.org/MMS
MMSC is under Internet Connection > settings on the fMMS tab. I'm Vodafone, so not the same settings as yours.
Have all this set up but cannot find where to put my phone number. I go into internet settings and not there and also fmms settings and all I get there is access point name and MMSC
When I go to send a picture message I get the below error
Operation Failed(-3,'Temporary failure in name resolution') please check your settings
Anyone help here?0 -
sooo happy to finally have my broken screen fixed on the n900 an have it back in my hands. only downside was that they wiped it after they replaced the broken screen, thanks a bunch, feckers!
i copied everything off it via usb before i sent it off, but not sure where anything is in the copied files.
most importantly, does anyone know where my angry birds high score info will be stored, cos i had nearly cracked that when i cracked my screen and you all know how important it is. 0 -

There is nowhere for a phone number on mine either. I know I had a lot of difficulty getting this set up - what about the Network mode? I have mine on Havoc after trying the others to see what worked. Check to make sure any password hasn't been capitalised at the start. Failing that, maybe someone on O2 can compare settings with you?0 -

Resize Image: Medium (320)
Phone Number: (Your Phone Number)
Cannot find where this is?
Same problem here and it's pissing me off. I've had the N900 for ages and could never get it working so last sunday I reflashed and started from scratch. No Joy. I followed this video on Youtube, putting in the O2 details obviously.:P
A well until 07:54 in the vid where he opens fMMS after configuring the internet connection. He gets a pop up that allows him to enter his phone number & MMSC. I never get that and can't find where to enter it.:(0 -

Define better.
What are you looking for in a phone?0 -
Sorry Tom, looks like you got in before the edit!!!
I just want one that is pretty easy to add apps to and modify. And which one has the more apps designed for it?
I'm basically looking for a toy to play with, but also one that will not break on me shortly after buying it. I had a samsung before where the flippy keypad KO'd after a couple of months, and I now have a touch screen(Nokia 5800) but the touch screen seems to be getting less responsive.
Camera doesnt really matter, and I presume the internet speed is pretty much the same on both.
Hope that narrows down a bit what I am looking for!!!0 -

Right, if it is apps you are looking for, then, as much as it kills me to say it, stay away from the N900.
While there are loads of apps for it, there is no doubt that it will be dwarfed in time by Android.
Other than that, it is an awesome phone. But it is really down to what you want to use it for. Do a search for some of my posts, both in this thread and other threads in the Mobiles/PDA forum. I've given a full rundown of the benefits/features a number of times.0 -

I've noticed you seem to be a bit of a N900 fan boy alright
What makes you think Android will dwarf it in terms of apps in the future? Surely if they are both running on Linux Kernels, it shouldnt be too difficult to port Android apps to the maemo os?
Just found this link to a blog where a dude does a serious amount of comparison between the N900 and other mobiles, some very interesting(some a bit ott) reading in it. http://cool900.blogspot.com0
