I'm hoping that somebody works out how to boot Linux/ Android on the n95 series of phones. Its a great bit of hardware let down by symbian/ Nokia's locked-down OS with piss poor memory management.

There's certainly a lot more n9x owners out there than Freerunners and I know many would love to be able to switch to/ boot Linux like me.

The port is nearing usefulness (as in, it runs okay, but things like battery indicator and dual booting isn't working.)

Then I can enjoy my phone instead of using the crap Symbian OS.Edited 2008-12-31 20:02 UTC Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:02:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (chris_dk) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?342042 http://osnews.com/thread?342042 Hi memson!

Thanks for the link to NITdroid- that was exactly what I was looking for seeing as the n810 is pretty much the same chipset as in the n95 as I understand.

I can live without opengles graphics accel no prob, but sound, GPS and battery monitoring are certainly all 'must-haves' for serious use for me, and these are all currently lacking under NITdroid at the mo it would seem and theres no mention of a n9X port.Edited 2008-12-31 20:29 UTC Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (danboid) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?342047 http://osnews.com/thread?342047 Sorry, no idea about the N9X series. The Nokia Internet Tablets run Maemo (Linux based) and most of the OS is opensource now.

I did submit a story here, but it doesn't sseem to have been picked up.Edited 2008-12-31 20:55 UTC Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:53:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (memson) Comments
