I just got a second-hand Nokia 770. There's quite an overwhelming amount
of information on maemo.org and elsewhere, and much of it probably refers
to the newer tablets, so I thought I'd ask for some pointers on getting
started.
Hi chombee:
How are you doing with your 770? :-)
First of all, how can I find out which firmware and OS version the tablet
is running? And how can I upgrade to the latest versions that will run on
the 770?
I'm still using OS2006, but I think you're already using OS2007...
Are you running your filesystem from flash memory or from MMC?
And second, where should I look for repositories and other places to find
applications for the 770?
The best place for me, without any doubt:
I was really hoping, since the OS is
debian-based, that I could get a terminal emulator and use apt to install
things like mutt, nano, vim, ssh, mplayer, hpodder, etc. There's a lot I
could do with a terminal and access to the debian repos.
Yes, you can :-)
I use ssh, vim, mplayer, rsync, apt... almost every day...
But there's no useful access to the (official) debian repos :-(
The applications that came with it look quite good so far but I really
need a decent email application. The provided one seems nice and simple
but doesn't work. First it would hang for a long time while receiving an
email, soon the application stopped even opening. I managed to install
Claws Mail from maemo.org but that crashes a lot too, as well as hanging
for hours at a time trying to download thousands of emails. A terminal and
mutt might be ideal.
I prefer to use Gmail application for my phone :-P
Here's a list of useful applications that I've installed on my little lovely 770:
