The N900 and its Killer Feature

The N900 and its Killer Feature

Killer_Bunny

There are a lot of great smart phones out in the market right now. They all have some strong points that distinguish them, even if it is just that they happen to run on the network that some users want (or have) to be on. In this climate it is very hard to come out with a feature that can truly distinguish a device as a standout. In spite of that, Nokia has created a huge amount of anticipation with the N900, although they refuse to call it a “Smart Phone”, preferring instead the term “mobile computer”.

How to take the Red-Pill and install more apps on the N900

The N900 (and the Maemo platform) allows the user to, for lack of a better word, “turbo-charge” the Application Manager by opening up a variety of advanced features locked away by default. Enabling them requires taking the “Red-Pill” so to speak. you can always opt for the “Blue-Pill” but c’mon, you only live once. :)

So, to enable this mode, open the Application Manager and select Catalogs from the drop-down. This will show a list of catalogs

Tap “New” and type the word matrix in the ‘Web address’ field.

Now tap on the blurry region above the Catalogs window. This will bring up the “big choice”

Taking the Blue-Pill will put you back where you started. Taking the Red-Pill will unlock the new world and the Application Catalog will display new buttons like ‘Settings’ and ‘Install from File’

The Application Manager will now update if an internet-connection is available and display a whole lot more packages. These packages are not only useful for development purposes but also for advanced use.

NOTE: Just a word of caution. Enable this mode only if you feel comfortable with managing the advanced features. The chances of getting your phone bricked are high if you don’t know what you are doing. If you are willing to take the risk, good luck!
