@danct12 I loved this phone (on stock Maemo and the CSSU). There has never been, and maybe never will be, a better phone for me. @danct12 Was it though? Sure, they said the N9 was MeeGo, but I've always felt it was more Maemo 6 than MeeGo. It was still dpkg based after all. I do fully agree with the sentiment though. The n900 was the greatest smartphone ever released, by a long stretch. I still have two of them and often think back to the good old times... @danct12@fosstodon.org It really is a quite nice phone, I have one that I bought... about two years ago? Was hoping to have some fun and find a semi-permanent use case for it, but I never found one :( while it is so freaking awesome, everything that it can do can also be done on my android @danct12 I had a Nokia 770, with no keyboard, but was a pretty cool device for that time, slow, but was able to get some stuff done. Thanks for the reminder. @danct12 I had the 770, the N810 and the N900. Wrote so much software for that platform. I miss Maemo and the gang. @danct12 ...and thanks to Maemo Leste project, you can still get updated software for it. And unlike original Maemo, this is actually opensource ;-).
@danct12@fosstodon.org wait really? @danct12 I really tried to stick with keyboard phones but they just totally upped and died, seemingly all at once. One year you could get them, the next year all gone. Not quite gone for ever: F(x)tec Pro1-x running Ubuntu Touch, 2024 Pretty good but the keyboard's a bit fiddly; the Nokia kbd looks nice @danct12 This was definitely the best cell phone. It is a shame that the tablet of the Jolla project never went into series production. @danct12 also don't forget the N9. Imo was a pretty good phone without any ecosystem |
@danct12 I still have a N800 in a drawer which is even a little bit older π but no use for it anymore π€·
