Re: What have been your 'wow' moments with the N900 so far?
 
* First boot
* First time watching videos via Facebook.com
* When organizing my widgets.
* XTerm!
* FM Transmitter
* WLM plugin for Availability menu & Pidgin IM
* First time WLAN. It is much powerful than my old N96.
* Rootsh and apt-get usage. It IS a Debian distro =)
* First time Conversation app, wrote some SMS really fast -i suck at it- thanks to QWERTY keyboard.
* Using LyricWiki and Shake2Control together.
* First time Speedometer app usage. I mostly dont use GPS features, so It was exciting to see how good it works.
* First time using CID port to remote control my TVs.
* PDF Reader. It is a great experience with N900's resolution.
* Playing OpenArena with accelometer
* Starting Debian LXDE and Iceweasel, OpenOffice, even "make" works with it.
* Playing Freeciv, emulating games with VGBA, The Mana World!
* SSH'ing into my device, using my PC remotely with my N900 (thanks to VLC) and vice versa.

I cant remember other things, Its a really exciting device, so It forces me to say "wow" every day.

I have had numerous wow-moments but the most wow thing is that I still get those.

For example yesterday when I was playing the really excellent port of Ur Quan Masters I thought that "Hmm. It would be good if I could make some notes about the information that I just heard". Then I realised that I could just pause the game, open Notes application and start writing. And also open the high definition starmap on one window. I could even have the game manual open as pdf if I wanted (although that I don't really use it).

And with just a couple of clicks I can change between all these windows.

The joy of real multitasking.

Wow, where did that scroll bar go.

Wow why can't I cut and paste from an email without editing it.

Wow, why can I use a scrollbar in the PDF viewer but nothing else.

Wow the N810 was so much easier to use.

Little 'wow' when I saw the developer community video on this page. As in "Wow! I know most of those guys!" :D

Second 'wow' when I saved the vid via download helper to avi and saw it on the n900. Superbe quality!

Up at 5 this morning, 130 mile drive to Wales from London. Bluetooth headset, music player all the way down. Call the Wife on the way down by switching to the phone app. Hang up, musics starts to play again. Three hours later and battery has hardly budged.

In the Office, cant get on the Lan. Tether N900 to laptop via 3G, whoa that is fast. While its tethered I decide to take a pic through the window . Wow. Lovely view.

Upload pic to flickr direct from N900, now you get to see the view as well.

Recent 'wow' moment: When i came back home after a short walk and my ssh connection (home computer to n900) automatically resumed without timing out.

My N800 sometimes even resumed sessions after reboot, which was a bit scary, but rather convenient.
