Re: N900 is a costly experiment
 

When is next firware update? I don't want to create a whole thread just for one question and answer.

Re: N900 is a costly experiment
 

If you'd done any product research before buying, this would be no surprise. The N900 is a computer first, and a phone second. What do you think of its functionality as a handheld finger controlled PC?

Now Nokia has already announced support for portrait mode in certain app, and developers can implement it in their third party apps as they please right now.

MMS support should come later, but isn't very simple. It took Apple 3 years to add... I doubt Nokia takes as long, but to be honest, there is no announcement for adding it at this time, which doesn't mean they won't, just they haven't told us. Same for speed and voice dialing. There are Contact shortcuts, however, something no one else can offer.

For file sending, try Petrovich, which is available via the App Mgr. Same for a voice recorder. If months to add a feature is long to you, your expectations may be insatiable. Who else is implementing features in months? Android? WinMo? Apple? WebOS? Didn't think so.

As for phone features, this is an area where Nokia has unmatched experience and expertise. I doubt anyone in the industry questions Nokia's ability to develop the phone features. I'm least worried about that area. You have an old Communicator so you know as well as I. Do you fear Nokia will fail at the phone's development, its core competency?

Well, more likely he just went to bed, username sounded Finnish.

But by the way, do you think his next phone or the one after that is going to be a Maemo one? Take a look at the thread title. He may not have worded his concerns very eloquenty but there just might be a point for Nokia hidden in there somewhere. First opinions/reactions matter, and whenever these threads/posters are shot down, it's one more person leaving Maemo with a bitter taste in their mouth. You think he's gonna recommend a Maemo phone to his friends ever after spending 600 € on something and then gettting a smackdown at the forum for that device?

Re: N900 Unexpected reboots
 

just got my n900 today from newegg.....been getting random reboots all day as well. checked the reason...for the most part always 32wd_to. you guys think i should request a replacement? or you think its something that can be fixed with a firmware update?

Re: N900 Unexpected reboots
 

probably not. I sent my device to service yesterday.

Re: N900 is a costly experiment
 

I think Nokia made a mistake with the N900. The phone functionality should have been a lot better, people expect a 600 € device with phone functionality to actually work well as a phone. And please stop repeating the "it's not a phone, it's a mobile computer" mantra; the N900 has a phone part, so it IS a phone, too, and should be usable as such. Also, I don't think the device will gain all the missing abilities in future firmware updates, development efforts are probably already directed at Harmattan and the next Maemo device.

Hey that's great news, got a source? This phablet has got me excited, I can't wait to get mine from Amazon.
Since you knew the answer to that would you happen to know when flash 10 is coming, give or take half a month?
