Hi,
I do enjoy the N900 but have a big beef with it.
When Offline Mode is enabled, NONE of the radios can be switched on.
When trying to browse a webpage in Offline Mode, the only option is to disable Offline mode and turn back on the power hungry SAR crazy cellular radio.
All the same, the FM transmitter, FM Reciever, Wifi or even Bluetooth can't be enabled without turning off Offline mode and re-activating the cellular radio. -- Really blows.
Thank you,

Ah sorry for that one. But none the less the problem still remains. To activate any radio functionality, Wifi, Bluetooth, FM (in / out) and perhaps even GPS (not sure) you need to re-enable the fat cellular radio.

Again my appologies.
I can only hope that this update arrives in less than a year and actually makes it into the N900.
Based on Nokia's previous software update record, the firmware you bought is basically the firmware you get with the exception of minor bug fixes and individual application updates.

go to terminal as a root and input: "ifconfig phonet0 down"
that might disable the GSM/3G completely. Remember that you will need to reboot the device if you want to use GSM functionality again.
