Re: Returning my N900
 

OK. Let me be clearer. Nokia is telling us that this is a computer/phone, computer first, phone second. Every computer I had has been able to access my corporate email. But this one does not................................

Re: Returning my N900
 

Hmmm. Computer? This is Computer with linux OS.

.edit
btw. Is it possible to make VPN connection to corporates network and then use maemos email client to access mail servers? Would it still need provisioning?

I Agree. N series is for multimedia..
N95 had its own style of sliding both ways - one way for multimedia keys..:cool:
N900 however, u cannot even pause a song without unlocking the screen.. not even with the headset... U cannot skip tracks with the headset..
Also I havent noticed it, but I read the music doesnt stop playing when u receive a call ( i have no idea to what extent this is true)..
It even fails in the area of being a N-Series Phone...

My BeOS machine won't access MS Exchange. It's a computer.

You're splitting hairs trying to stack them in your defense. Let's just be frank. The N900 doesn't support MS Exchange provisioning. I get that.

But to say all computers (implicit) support your needs, you're mistaken there too.

If you said that it doesn't work with Skype out of the box, I'd agree. But look around, there's folks using it with Mirror as well as with Google Talk. So... we're just going to have to disagree there.

I am, however, personally pissed off it doesn't support video calling via Skype out of the box. That's one of the main reasons I won't buy a N900.

Re: Returning my N900
 

dont worry. Nokia is working on it:rolleyes:.
if they dont, then am sure someone will do something - because remember, its open source :D

by the way, u didnt answer my previous question about how its a multimedia device:confused:

Re: Returning my N900
 

Skype isn't fully open source, although they have opened it up for Linux.

It plays music files, videos, allows access to the web, has Flash inside of a full-blown browser, takes pictures, can e-mail said pictures (via POP3 and IMAP) and supports Facebook, IM, and Skype.

Has a microphone, a speaker, and a screen. Those all say "multimedia"; the functions may be rough... but it does the above. My expectations stop there. The UI, the experience is all up to the user if they like it or not. And things that are lacking... it's up to the person if they're satisfied or not.

Re: Returning my N900
 

i dont understand why this thread is so long.

Dont like the phone? does not work for your needs well dont buy it and return it. problem solved. stop crying about it

Re: Returning my N900
 

My old phone had all that (except full flash). It played music and videos better. with better control.. had better FB integration - no need for 3rd party apps....
And Any new phone/smartphone has these capabilities nowadays. and they r better in a lot of other ways... Theres nothing special about the "multimedia" bit on this phone... or did i miss something??

Re: Returning my N900
 

Is there a headphone connector that supports skip/pause track with an external headphone? I find it annoying to reach out for the phone everytime I need to skip a track while playing a long playlist.
