N95 classic with a 8GB SD card, I still like it :)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Palm Centro, which I still have since I still have a $30 unlimited plan (SERO) that doesn't expire till July.

I have barely touched it since I got the N900. They aren't in the same league.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Always had Nokia phones:
3310: Who didn't own one of these :)
6100: The lightest phone they've ever made - loved this a lot.
E65: One of the prettiest looking phones made by any manufacturer (IMHO) and the first slide phone I had ever used that felt really good.
N900: Just awesome :D

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris). I still use it for GPS navigation (voice turn-by-turn) with TOMTOM

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

I really didn't like the N95 at the time... too ubiquitous, bulky, and I thought I'd knacker the slide by playing around with it too much. And the battery life was awful. I waited patiently for the N82 to come out. I'd laugh at the N95 guys in the office charging by lunchtime while my N82 kept running. The N82 was essentially the N95 in candybar form but with a far superior Xenon flash - which is still better than any LED flash implementation I've seen so far. The flash did kill the battery though, but was invaluable taking photos in nightclubs, restaurants and bars etc.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

primary was my E90 and also used the craptacular N97. this is the first phone that could fully replace my E90, although the 90 had better PIM management.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

N82, it had a decent camera with decent flash, decent navigation, and much more useful applications, 3 things i miss in my N900

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

iphone 2g -> sony ericsson xperia x1->e71x -> my touch3g -> htc touch pro 2 -> n900 ... sadly i just had to try all the operating systems available to me lol but by far the n900 has probably been the best experience for me but i did wish it had portrait... i miss it sometimes ='[

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

i used to be (and still am) a samsung-fan. most of my electronic devices are samsung, because i really dig the build quality ad especially the design of their products.

so before the n900, i had a samsung jet. and before the jet, i had the samsung u700 (which i still own, as a "backup-phone", so to speak)
i really liked the samsung jet, and for what it is, its a awesome phone.
but i wanted to take my mobile experience to the next level, and samsung doesnt offer a "hardcore"-device like the n900.
i'm excited what their bada-devices are going to be like, though...

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

interesting... :)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

A Nokia 6300 candy bar :D

Before the N900 is haven't been into phones very much, since I wasn't convinced they give me a good enough mobile computing experience.

The N900 gives me
- ICQ (Pidgin)
- IRC(xchat)
- EMail, thought the client sux because it lacks threads
- a shell
- ssh! when tinkering around I'm always logged in to inspect the file system or so
- A wiki that tells me how to port my existing knowledge of python and C++ coding to this phone.
- ipython
- vim
- gnuplot

It took me only three days to know this phone inside out, since I'm a Linux user for five years now and was running ubuntu and debian for 1.5 years.

I expected this feeling of familiarity and it was the reason why i choose the N900 over an Android phone.

As you guys experienced as well some things are far from being perfect. I.e. except for sharing, none of the ovi offerings work and I still see no easy way to sync with my kde-PIM stuff.

However, the pros outweight this cons by far and for me this phone/mobile_computer has no alternatives.

Best,

my brother has an htc hd2 [leo] but he really likes my n900... altough he says he would never change! :P we all know what goes inside of him seeing the multi tasking, media playback and all the cool mods:D because hd2 was supposed to be a very personalized phone ... too bad nokia / maemo / linux shattered their dreams with fully customized 4 panel panorama desktop with tweakable shortcuts and contacts and all the lovely things we have...
