Nokia E63. What an excellent phone. Precessor of E63, E71 was sturdy as rock. Had that too. ;)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Same here. I bought the N97 32gb not long after launch. Wow, disillusioned is an understatement. I still had my N95 at the time and thought the N97 was a natural progression. Heh. How wrong could I be?

Now I've had my N900 for 3 weeks and I haven't looked back. The N97 is going up for sale and I'm NEVER getting rid of my N95 or my N900.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

I always like to have a mobile that is different or has something extra ..my list from 2003 until now:

1. O2 XDA (Window mobile when it was revolutionary)
2. NEC 400i I-mode (first camera phone, i-mode was nice)
3. Nokia 6680 (Symbian was still good; unsigned apps, great 1.3 MP camera)
4. G-Cam Gigabyte (probably my best low-light camera ever)
5. I-mobile 902 (so so)
6. Samsung G810 (3x optical zoom, GPS)
7. Nokia N900 (best community, keyboard)

Next phone: not in a rush, but if anyone would get the Dell streak running on Maemo, it could be a candidate

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

I have always been a "Nokier":

2005: Nokia 1100. Best phone for the price.
2006: Nokia 6101, got stolen in mid 2007
2007: Nokia 6300. Great phone.
2010: N900. The 6300 still works, being used by a brother in law :)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

N97=crap right before the N900, I even bought it without searching about it! I have a real vast history with Nokia phones.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

oh my old 6630 :) it was a great phone

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Before the N900, I was carrying at least two devices simultaneously, sometimes three, sometimes even four:

A siemens A55 for phone and SMS :D

A Palm TX for PDA, music player, PDF viewer, gaming, and (rudimentary) navigation

As the Palm has no GPS built in, additionally an external GPS:

And a Canon Powershot G5 for photos:

All now included in the N900. :) I'm only on the lookout for a good digital compact camera to make better photos than the build-in camera.

samsung tocco, anything at the time would have been an upgrade...before that it was all nokia

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

well after a couple of bricks in between '98 and '04 I bought a then-brand-new nokia 6230. it was awesome, I've been using it for almost 4 years. for that time 3G browsing, camera, mp3 and all was pretty good stuff.
then I finally switched to N95 8GB which was also good, but it didn't have that 'awww' factor for me, since I basically went through with amazement on my previous nokia.
Now it's been a year with N900, and I fully like it. yes, there are bugs and lags, but the good stuff prevails by far. lots of people here complain, but I think they just got used too much to all of its great sides, like lovely UI, chat conversatons, firm build, awesome default browser, etc etc.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Previous phone was Sony Ericsson P1i

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

I've still got my N95, and it was invaluable until I decided on a new phone, but the ribbon cable was slowly decaying and eventually died, after I had ordered the N900 and before it had arrived.

I replaced the cable - still no screen. I replaced the screen - still no screen. I haven't tested it with the TV-out cable yet, despite meaning to, but it saddens me greatly.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

My previouses:
LG with unknown model - fold styled and poly-phonic ringtone
Samsung with unknown model - bar styled
Nokia 6131 - fold styled
Nokia N85 - still working and using - 2-way slide styled
Now = Nokia N900 - Probably the best of all, except for Nokia's support...

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

my last nokia was an N97 mini bronze. but then since i saw the N900 video commercial, i didn't stop until i finally got one.

keyboard on the N900 blew away the N97's by a hundred miles. LOL

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Handspring Treo 600 > Palm Treo 650 > Apple iPhone 1G (8Gb) (jailbroken 2.2) > Nokia N900

The iPhone serves as a backup and to test look and feel of the websites I develop/maintain.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Nokia 6230, N95 of its day, best at everything had a 1gig card (6 albums!) girls were impressed :P
Nokia 6680, Wanted Symbian my first smart phone, had gba games on it
Nokia 6280, VGA video recording was very good and sexy upgraded to 2gb card
Nokia E65, Realized the 6280 was slow and a feature phone, also wanted wlan. nice elegant styling.
Nokia E66, natural evolution of E65, added gps and camera/flash. also much faster, overall improvement also added 16gb card.
Nokia N900 wanted a bigger screen and something to thinker with, not sure yet whats makes it special because I don't have it yet, but next week it will come! 48gb of storage

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

LG Viewty
HTC TYTN II
N900

And some more weird phones!

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Let's see..

Motorola (can't remember what model but it was very basic, just for calling, if I recall right)
Nokia 1610
Nokia 3210
Nokia 3310
Nokia 6100
Nokia 5140
Siemens M65
Nokia 6131

That's about it from 12-15 years. If you'd ask my favorite one from that list it'd be the 6131. It should still function, even though it's close to 4-5 years old now. Too bad though that I lost it, since it'd be a great secondary phone. :(

Though in future that list won't have any Nokia's, thanks to Elop.

Re: what was your phone before n900??

I owned a Motorola V8 (my first linux phone) and flashed and modded everything that was possible. Sometimes I miss these old seem edits and bit 0 or 1 mods. And I miss my Alcolo Skin I created for this device. ;)

I then drowned the phone in a beer accidentely and that was the start of a new mobile aera for me... There it was, my N900. ;)
