N900 is a rare specie. PS mine became super heated this morning from Hildon-home (6days up time) and I have to killed it and rerun it to cool down my device without restarting. Nokia needs to fix this hildon-home issue.

Im in Auckland NZ and have yet to see another n900 in real life ,

Live in Israel. Only saw another N900 once, before I got my own, and this is actually what introduced me to Maemo and eventually led me to buying my own device. Haven't seen the dude who had the other N900 ever since.
However this is kinda expected as the N900 is not officially imported to Israel at all. Only way to get it is to buy from local stores that import it themselves or to buy one abroad.

Spotted a guy on the train about 20min ago - with a laptop, N900 and a HTC. I only caught a quick glimpse but verified it later with a BT scan.

i saw a girl on the tram and another bloke using n900's was a massive shock as i havent seen any in the wild before

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
the only time i saw one was when i was in the nokia store and got suckered into the sales pitch by the demonstration and forked out £500 for it. (glad i bought it, but wish i had waited as it was available at half the price just months later) havent seen another one since that day which wasnt a display dummy.

devinger got himself a N900 after he dropped his previous phone in the toilet, which convinced me to get one too.
I use it more than he does, though, but I don't mind not having a tech-buddy. We don't have to talk about kernels to be friends :P

To date it is the only N900 I have ever encountered besides my own.

My teacher and at least two of my fellow students have an n900. Also saw a girl walking by talk on her phone and the blue lines of the lens cover cought my eye and i recognized it as an n900. I was surprised to see a girl have an n900.

My Nokia N900 is totally unique in my work place of 1000 employees. Every other sheep in the office either has an Android or an iPhone.. ba ba ba ba!!!

LOL Awesome. I just got mine, but I will keep an eye out at bars and such, had to call t-mobile about a 3G issue and they were like "what kind of phone do you have?" Nokia N900. "... What?"

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....

Should have a script running, every minute itll update a website with GPS coords.

If another N900 is nearby, itll let you know.

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
my first!! spotted at manchester arndale shopping center uk.

user was in the publlic toilets so needless to say i grinned and went on my way, without stopping to chat.

The grin alone may have unnerved him tbh, most men have a strict no talking policy in public restrooms...for good reason too :o

I'd love a 'nerd fest' of N900 users too, except I live in iPhoneLand aka NYC so no chance there. Except my photographer girlfriend who loves loves loves her N8 (good for her). Anyone want to get a beer and some wings in NYC? First one is on me :)

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
i have 1 friend that bought the N900 just as it came out! i was so inlove with it bu i didn't have the coins.. Two years later (april 2011i finaly bought mine. I tweaked, modded, did alot of stuff with it. But my friend still has the out of the box apps, nothing added.
He just bought it because he had the the money but he only uses to text his cousin.. what a waste..

But i've see another N900 in th wild! i was just walking at school, entering the classroom when i noticed another N900.
Someone who actually used it the right way! (overclocked)
but we haven't talked much (yet) :D

i almost forgot! i met another guy in my previous school with the beast. he was addicted to angry man xD

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
I saw lots. To my surprise, three of those were girls. I guess I was too confused by girls using N900s to even consider talking to them :( :D

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
If i would ever run into a girl with a N900, i would mary them instantly! :D

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
i just saw another N900 user the other night, while having dinner with my girlfriend. the owner is a girl who is with her boyfriend (let's call her maemogirl), so no i didn't talk to her... but i can't hide the fact that i wanted to start a conversation.
i was using mine to take pics of my gf and was texting somebody from work coz i had to settle some things so it's likely that maemogirl noticed mine first (or didn't at all). i only saw the other N900 while i was finishing my meal when she started browsing facebook with a stylus with the kickstand up, an N900 trademark. :) i think she's using kasvopus so there's some chance that she actually knows how to use the N900.
anyway, i think my girlfriend wanted to dump me that moment. hehe she can't understand why seeing another N900 user in the wild can catch my interest so much. ;)
oh btw... she was the 2nd N900 user i have seen, the first one was also a girl but i only had the N900 for a few weeks then. i haven't been fully enamored by its majesty and this community so i didn't feel that compelled to talk to her. :)

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
I have wrote a response to finding another N900 user on this thread. Anyhow I'm going to copy and paste what I said :)

I have also seen a user with N900 in brisbane CBD (fortitude valley to be more precise) at one stage when I was about to head home from local 2600 meetup. I'm kicking myself now for not talking to the bloke that owns N900 when I saw him flicking through media player whilst waiting for pedestrian crossing lights to go green. Oh well I guess there's always next time :)

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
Ive also spotted some random guy in Starmall last month,maybe he is working on a BPO company,holding his n900 while walking.
