I just got a second-hand Nokia 770. There's quite an overwhelming amount<br>
of information on <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> and elsewhere, and much of it probably refers<br>
to the newer tablets, so I thought I'd ask for some pointers on getting<br>
started.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi chombee:</div><div><br></div><div>How are you doing with your 770? :-)</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
First of all, how can I find out which firmware and OS version the tablet<br>
is running? And how can I upgrade to the latest versions that will run on<br>
the 770?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm still using OS2006, but I think you're already using OS2007...</div><div><br></div><div>Are you running your filesystem from flash memory or from MMC?</div><div><br>
</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">And second, where should I look for repositories and other places to find<br>
applications for the 770? </blockquote><div><br></div><div>The best place for me, without any doubt:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.gronmayer.com/it/">http://www.gronmayer.com/it/</a></div><div> </div><div>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I was really hoping, since the OS is<br>
debian-based, that I could get a terminal emulator and use apt to install<br>
things like mutt, nano, vim, ssh, mplayer, hpodder, etc. There's a lot I<br>
could do with a terminal and access to the debian repos.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, you can :-)</div><div><br></div><div>I use ssh, vim, mplayer, rsync, apt... almost every day...</div><div><br></div><div>But there's no useful access to the (official) debian repos :-(</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">The applications that came with it look quite good so far but I really<br>
need a decent email application. The provided one seems nice and simple<br>
but doesn't work. First it would hang for a long time while receiving an<br>
email, soon the application stopped even opening. I managed to install<br>
Claws Mail from <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> but that crashes a lot too, as well as hanging<br>
for hours at a time trying to download thousands of emails. A terminal and<br>
mutt might be ideal.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I prefer to use Gmail application for my phone :-P</div><div><br></div><div>Here's a list of useful applications that I've installed on my little lovely 770:</div>
