I think it already is available. :confused: Did I miss somethign?

I think that's ad-block, rather than flash-block. Adblock is in the repository.

I asked already in the N900 owners thread the same question, but maybe I could also ask the same thing here.
Can you use google maps web page smoothly ? I know the Javascript on that page is hellish, and it puts n810 browsers to it's knees immediately, but what about N900 ?

Re: Are some people going to be let down by the browser?
 

I'd like to know, too. I expect it'll be a little better than Google Wave. Should work ok.

Re: Are some people going to be let down by the browser?
 

I guess you're comparing theoretical maximum speed of EDGE, reality is much different. In fact the bandwidth is not the biggest problem, EDGEs problem is the latency. If you're browsing web, web pages are constituted from so many different elements that IMO the latency ruins the experience. Downloading a single file with EDGE is not that bad at all.

Can't proof this by some technical jargon, but to my experience 3Gs biggest gain for browsing was the lower latency.

I think the N900 is incompatible with North American 3G. That's the main reason I won't be buying it.

Re: Are some people going to be let down by the browser?
 

Uh, the main thing that got everyone in the US started on the N900 was its support for AWS North American 3G. Where you been, bro?!?

Re: Are some people going to be let down by the browser?
 

It works with TMobile, not at&t, 3g in the States.

Re: Are some people going to be let down by the browser?
 

Where have I been? Somewhere strange where I forget there are other networks besides at&t in North America. I'm still out of luck, though I am happy T-Mobile customers get to enjoy 3G.

Re: Are some people going to be let down by the browser?
 

Tmobile does not get good signal on my block, but its only my block I go across the street and get full bars,lol...someone hates me at Tmobile.

sounds like you live in a boundary area

Re: Are some people going to be let down by the browser?
 

This is one of the only things that has had me worried about the n900. I'll have to use it on AT&T so I wont be able to use their 3G network.

Would this noticeably impact the n900 experience (outside of being a little slower)?

On my n95 (the non NAM/lacking American 3G) I noticed cellphone calls interrupt my internet browsing or prevents me from using googlemaps while talking to someone.

Does anyone have experience testing the n900 on EDGE? Outside of slower speeds, would an EDGE connection not be able to properly handle AJAX sites like gmail/wave/maps etc?

I think I could live with the slower webpage downloads, but if a lot of the web wont run like its capable of on 3G it might make me hold back on buying it.
