So a friend of mine who reviewed a preproduction 770 for a major
linux magazine gave me his demo unit. (We trade things back and
forth a lot, iPods, etc.) I maintain his web presence.
I think its pretty cool. I'd like to port Xastir to it and help
whomever is trying to get gpsd (anyone) to talk to a BT GPS.
I went to upgrade the software load on the 770, but the download
pages at both nokia and maemo want me to enter the "serial #" (MAC
address of the WiFi part).
http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,79636,00.html
http://www.maemo.org/downloads/nokia_770
The number I find on the box, is "0002EEFEE2E2"
The number I find under the battery is "0002EEFEE20A"
Neither is "allowed".
The Nokia site says: "Error: Code not valid. Please re-enter the 12-
digit code."
The Maemo site says, "Product ID not valid. Please re-enter the 12-
digit code."
Now, I'm 43 years old, but I did get out my glasses and a magnifying
glass to verify the MAC addresses (on the label under the battery),
and yes, I am using the MAC address for the WLAN, not BT interface.
Any clues? Did Nokia 'burn' the folks with pre-production units?
Jim
