Re: what was your phone before n900??

N95-1 and a Samsung Blackjack before that.

Re: what was your phone before n900??

Ericsson GA628 (1996)
my first cell ... and woooo ... I can write SMS!

Sony CMD-Z1 (1997)
loved the very good 4-line display, jog-dial, WAP ability (but rare use because of the pricing ... hehe), integrated answeringmachine and the robustness

Samsung SGH600 (1999)
so stylish, small and lightweight - 95 grams (that's 3.05 oz - thx 2 gonvert ^^)

Siemens SL45 (2001)
used this phone for 5 years - would have used it longer, wouldn't the MMC-reader suddenly broken.
this phone had everything I wanted at that time:
- java ability for midlets (after firmwareupdate to SL45i)
- 7-line display
- MP3 player with excellent sound (found no other phone till now that sounds better - and no: I've never tested the IPhone)
- WAP
- MMC Slot
- IrDA and integrated Modem
- and of course its great design in galvanized Aluminium (really miss this touch in my hands)

Sony Ericsson W850i (2006)
my trusty companion for more than three years. loved the MP3-player, the great display, UMTS (when available), Opera Mini, RSS Reader, Mail client and JIMM (ICQ client).
but hated the Memory Stick and the missing of EDGE .. however I survived that ;-)

Nokia N900 (2010)
well .. my first Nokia device ... and what shall I say? come to daddy! :-D

HTC Dream aka G1; Not missing it. Got tired of Force Close's and the sad excuse for multitasking.

Mine was beautiful black N93i:D

Re: what was your phone before n900??

I had Nokia 5110, 3310, 6610, 6300 an now the N900. So this is my first smartphone :) I have looked into the smartphone area every now and then, but got disappointed with the features eventually. N900's full web support persuaded me :) I must say I am very happy with the phone. The way SMSs and IMs work was a nice surprise. Also, the management of connectivity is so much easier than in the 6300. I actually also like the fact that there are just two profiles - general and silent. I really do not need meeting / loud / loudest ... timed profiles would be nice though. On the the other hand, whennever I grasp the old 6300, I am amazed how thin and light the phone is ... and it was easier to use on the go for calls and SMSs.

Mine was Nokia 1100, great phone !

Re: what was your phone before n900??

I actually got my N900 to use as a linux tablet until certain features or options make it possible for me to use for a phone too. Ive been having tons of fun messing around with, and hacking away at it. I have, and still use a Nokia 6086 for my phone. the UMA is a must for me because I have no service in half the places I go without it. its a shame theres no good devices like and including the 900 that have UMA.

Re: what was your phone before n900??

Nokia E70 (great phone)
E71 (One of the best phones for me)
E72 (great disappointment)
