UPDATE Oct. 4, 2010: Eyal had posted a comment with an additional fix he identified and his steps are below. If these don’t work for you continue reading on for the original fix I posted. Thanks Eyal! 1. Close (shut down) the Ovi Suite. 2. Rename the IntelliSync folder to something else like “IntelliSync_OLD”. 3. [...]

If you’re like me you updated your precious N900 to the latest firmware as soon as it was available. If you connected to your computer in PC Suite mode to see if the Ovi Map Loader is working you saw it isn’t. In this article I detail how to fix it

Unlike many Symbian based phones the N900 actually has a couple of choices for browsers, the default Maemo browser and Firefox. In this article I have reviewed both browsers side-by-side

There are many tools out there for the emerging social media network and many allow for access to your facebook, twitter and IM accounts. Yet from my experience the either lack graphical interface features, only allow you to see your friends, have costs associated with them, or because they lack certain features other apps may have we are forced to use multiple applications. Wouldn’t it be great to have one app that did it all and for multiple networks?
