The neo900 is so late that it doesn't really matter at this point whether it is ever released at all. You'll have to be a pretty hardcore fan to pay about $1000 for a phone with amateur software and circa 2011 hardware specs, partially made with recycled components.

I used core memory in machines during the 1970s (primarily Data General Novas). There was no problem with physical shock, but we did get errors during strong thunderstorms.

Back then, when I was in highschool, I was told that the density of core memory was limited by the dexterity of the Filipina workers who threaded the wires through the tiny magnetic donuts.

Farsi has plenty of cognates with English too. My favorite is "Behtar" which means better. The nice twist is that "Beh" means good, so "Behtar" literally means "gooder". English, or some earlier language that became English, probably had a word like "beh" which meant good. But we lost that word, but kept better. Farsi still has both words.

That means they'll have onboard countermeasures for surface-to-air missiles.

I've had something close to this for years with my N900 (circa 2009). It detects when I am at home or work (via WIFI), and mounts its file systems on my laptops via sshfs. I can run Debian apps on my N900, and have the laptop display the UI via X11. I'm hoping this will work even more smoothly when I get my neo900.

I had an office next to this guy. His Tourette's syndrome did not seem mild to me; it drove me nuts trying to concentrate with the bizarre noises he was making all day. When I heard about this, I figured someone murdered him because of that.
