    i think you will find these are standard linux shortcuts, nothing special about them. one reason the n900 will crush all competitors.

      Hi Amit ,

      Thanks for the feedback.

      Welcome to FoneArena

      N900 might come to India only next year. This is mainly due to software and compatibility issues . If you are desperate to get one . You can buy it from outside like from Europe or USA . The N900 Unit we have is from UK and even BSNL 3G works here in India

    I’ve heard that ctrl+space should change between your primary and secondary language, keyboard-wise. This short cut does however not work right now.

    Hi,
    I have N900. I want to know how to send a customized message if i don’t want to attend a call? Now i have to type each time a message i want to send without answering a call. I want to save a customized message and send instead of typing.

    Thanks
