Adding Software Repositories to N900

by Farhan on December 21, 2009

For those who know me , knew that I’m a software junkie and need my daily fix of something new :)   , this addiction of mine is met by Nokia N900’s Maemo software repositories and with almost 2 GB of installable memory I can fill it to my heart’s content .

The best way to get Nokia N900′ software is to go to http://repository.maemo.org through the phone web browser , and under the Extra Repository For Community Applications heading install Fremantle Extras .  Just tap install next to the Fremantle Extras and it will download the repository to your N900’s App Manager ,  easily accessible through making a shortcut on the Desktop . There is also a repository for Extra Development Repository for testing stable /  unstable community applications , but a word of caution these files are still under development and testing and could harm your N900 ( mine hanged a couple of times and had to be reflashed through NSU )

Once installed , you can refresh it and get the latest software available for Nokia N900 , the repositories are updated almost everyday and browsing through categories makes it easier to find what you are looking for .

I’ve installed some 20 odd applications with many more to come :)

Do let me know if you know of any other repository for Fremantle /  N900
