Re: New members say hello !
 
I have my N900 now for two months and - as a Linux geek from Holland - I'm very glad with him (or is it her?). Especially I like (and use):
- the open Linux platform
- phone possibilities (GSM, SIP, skype)
- email facilities
- calender
- microB browser
- the contacts integration
- widges and applets on the fourfold desktop
- possibility to develop app's by myself
- photo and videos
The next things could be better (some of them will be corrected in our well beloved and soon expected PR 1.2):
- IMAP support (sync of all folders on the imap-server, imap-idle)
- battery capacity
- small rootfs (luckily there are poss. the bypass this problem)
I did a big search for a new phone and this is the only phone with an open Linux platform and so much hardware. I did'nt choose it for it is a Nokia. I'am not a "brand" geek. I am always in search for new hard- and software challenges. Nokia brought it to me with the N900. I don't understand why people blame here Nokia because they bought a N900. I think they bought the wrong phone in stead of "Nokia sells a wrong one".

Hello from a very happy N900 user!

Too bad we still have to wait for PR 1.2

And if you smell something fishy it's probably me! :D

Hello. This is Saqib. I have two questions.

Is it appropriate to purchase n900 from ebay?? or is there a risk in doing that?

second question. does .jar format is supported in n900?

Hi all.

A long term Linux (Ubuntu & SuSE) user who's had many Nokias (S60) over the years, now it's time to combine the two (sorry, I'm bit late to the party!)

Got my N900 just 4 days ago and absolutely loving it :)

Flashed PR1.2 RC and not had any issues (yet!)

See you round... ;)

Hi, I got my N900 a couple days ago, I've had many Nokias before, all of them S60 phones, I was looking at a worthy upgrade for my N95-3 and nothing that came after it was interesting, N96? you got to be kidding, N97? I wouldn't call that thing a flagship, and the i8910 has no keys, the N900 seemed to be the best and logical choice. I'm new to the whole linux thing and this site seems to be a nice place :)
