DELIVERY:
Since the devices usually get ordered and delivered through the IT department, we solved with the delivery of the package by supplying a bigger sized MMC card with the device (bigger always wins with management and the cards nost nothing nowadays) and on the cards were the packages. So the user could setup the phone and the guy delivering the device also handed over the printed, neat, colorfull SIMPLE instructions to install the package. So far, everyone has loved the way things “just work” ;)

APPENDIX: Interesting files and quirks

  • The folder home/user/MyDocs contains .image .documents .sounds and .videos, so if you want to have custom content like user guides or policy documents etc. THOSE are the places to put them.
  • Some intranets only work with Mozilla browsers or Internet Explorer for whatever reason. The default browser identifier of the Maemo platform identifies itself as Opera (because it IS Opera :)). To change this, HERE is a custom opera.ini file which you need to put into /home/user/.opera/opera.ini . This will make Opera identify itself as Mozilla.
  • The file plugins.conf in /home/user/.osso/hildon-status-bar on the N800 controls which icons are shown in the status bar. So if you want to hide or show different icons this file needs to be edited.
  • It is highly recommended to add the http://repository.maemo.org to your application catalogues. However not to ask the users to do this, add the following to your install script anywhere before the CLEANUP part :)The Nokia N800

    #Repository
    echo "deb http://repository.maemo.org bora non-free free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

    The Nokia N770

    #Repository
    echo "deb http://repository.maemo.org scirocco non-free free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Well That’s it pretty much, I hope this helped some of you. Comments and questions of course are welcome.
PS: I can highly recommend for this work to get a Bluetooth Keyboard, Nokia sells one that works quite well for the N770 and the N800. Any BT Keyboard should work however.
