What do you think overclocking is for? :D
A safe boost to 700MHz from 600MHz is extremely noticeable, everything is faster and snappier. it's only harmful if you exceed the temperature limits or overclock to a speed your system can't reach (which is only the upper limits, 1GHz, etc.)

If you feel the need for it; Go ahead. With all the usual warning and disclaimers though. I haven't heard anyone damaging their N900 by overclocking yet. Overclocking on Maemo is piss easy. Obviously the device runs MUCH faster. Everything feels faster. Pi calculates approximately 31% faster at 800MHz compared to 600MHz. I've been running mine at 1GHz for a month. Zero abnormal symptoms so far. Been using it quite heavily also and it's rock stable. Will be trying 1150MHz in a couple of days :D

Okay I have 2 questions. I know the browser of n900 supports flash but when I play some videos on facebook it say get the flash player. I downloaded it. It showed many versions. The version I downloaded is there in my file manager but I can install it. A bit of help needed on this. =/

Second question. Where can I get vertsms? I really need this app. Exact link would be really helpful.

go to your app manager and then select download which will show you categories
select utilities and search for the Tweak Flash Plugin Version
download this application and install it (WIFI or GPRS Needed)
This might help you in solving your first issue

thanks for the link....but i was looking more for something that maybe has a few guides or tutorials (like for example, showing how to OC on the n900, or maybe just how to use the command lines on maemo)....i am a pretty technical person myself, but i've never dealt with this phone and never really used linux...so just wanted to get a feel for it...

Just search for the official overclocking thread on talk.maemo.org or the N900 wiki present there. Everything (literally, everything) you would want to do with the phone is present there.

Haven't used that application as i use the built-in virtual qwerty keyboard or the physical one (which is much better and easier)

Bro you can look at different N900 Blogs which covers almost everythin about overclockin through kernels as well as through the apps built for it and available on maemo.org... whereas the command lines are concerned hackm0d is right as mostly the community is actively used... though Meego is slowing things down for Maemo (sad i know)

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
