I am not excited about n900's multitasking abilities. Example: yesterday I am riding the bus home. Hops on the free wifi on the bus and make myself available on the chat. I am also listening to music and my wife sends me a youtube link.
Well, even beforeI hit the youtube link the phone is painfully slow. Sliding out the screen results in stuttering music and a 7 second wait before the screen turns on. The youtube link makes me close the music player. All in all from the time my wife sent me the youtube link till I could see the video with choppy playback it took at least 2 minutes.
These things happen all the time. the n900 is far from being a complete product. It boasts a shitload of features that are cutting edga, and buggy as hell. I have never spent so much time waiting for a phone to open the email client, calendar, text message as I have with this phone.
Maybemultitasking was disabled for a good reason on the iphone and is hampered on android?
Maybe nokia just put a piece of **** on the market. I don't know...

I know exactly what you mean, I decided to OC my phone to 1GHz and it solved all those problems, and if the phone fries, then it fries, and i'll have even more motivation to get the galaxy s or htc desire.

Edit : Some people will say I will feel the urge to OC the Galaxy S as well, This is not true, it's a nice cliche, but as a matter of fact, I do not OC my desktop computer's cpu or gpu, I can play all the latest and greatest without the need to crank up the goods.

You can't depend on Nokia as a vendor of a device your business depends on. This would be an immediate deal-killer in any business relationship with a device manufacturer, as far as I'm concerned, and a big reason why I cannot recommend it to the associated, friends and family that I talk to either.

You are either troll or *****. Which one?

Sounds like someone who has valid points...and I love my 900. Its hard to argue that the 900, in its current state, would be a feasible choice for business users vs. a Blackberry for example.

Until something else comes out with similar form factor and multitasking..N900 would be the phone/tablet IMO. multitasking as in getting something done in the background as opposed to stopping a task to do another.

We're getting closer to what the difference between a smartphone and a computer is. Currently, the n900 is the only handheld that is intended to be both. But I'll augment my previous prediction, when multi-core processors become common place in handhelds, both Google and Apple will turn their smartphone OS into a computer OS.

I disagree with danramos's posts sometimes. But I found nothing wrong with that post. They are all valid and true. Companies (at least sizable ones) need support. And if Nokia's customer support is any indication, any smart business would stay clear of Nokia phones for business purposes.
