[maemo-users] Upgrade to OS 2006 Edition with a Linux Host

2006-08-10 Thread Rainer Dorsch
Hello,

this is probably the wrong mailing list to ask, but it is the best one I know 
about. If you know a better place, please let me know and I will ask there.

I am about the by a Nokia 770 (a Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 is a close second 
choice). When I want to upgrade the OS on the Nokia 770, it seems that I need 
a MS Windows systems, at least the German Nokia website tells this.

Can the Nokia 770 boot (and maybe install) from an USB stick?

Thanks,
Rainer

PS: Does anybody know, if the Zaurus may be upgraded without a Windows 
systemI have none.

 you can easily upgrade your 770 using a linux machine. Takea look at the maemo wiki:http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HOWTO_FlashLatestNokiaImageWithLinux
I'd like to say that flashing my unit using Linux went perfectly.
Just - don't forget to do it as root (or twiddle USB permissions - root is much easier)

 Is the headset which comes with the 770 good enough for VOIP, i.e. does it 
 have a microphone?

AFAIK there is no headset included with the 770. The 770 has a build 
in mircrophone and speaker and you can, with some tricks, connect a 
bluetooth headset to the 770.

This page says that while you can connect the headset, but you cannot
actually use it.

Hmm...how is the os2006 built-in VOIP supposed to be used? With the built-in 
mic and speaker? Does this work reasonably (no echos, no broken voices 
because the mic switches of frequently to avoid echos)?

Thanks,
Rainer

It works best when you use a headphone instead of the speaker but still
use the mic for input. But still with the built-in speaker and micro
combo it works pretty well. You just have to reduce the volume a bit in
order to avoid the feedback.

 Thanks,
 Rainer
