Re: What have been your 'wow' moments with the N900 so far?
 

Just had a 'wow' moment. My sister had asked of there was any way to save a bbc radio programme from 'listen again'. I wasn't actually thinking of using n900, but when I asked about whether anyone knew of a way, noobmonkey refered me to the thread about iplayer on n900.

I had looked at that when it was first posted and thought "looks wonderful, but far, far too clever for me". Now I had an incentive. So with noobmonkey holding my virtual hand, and my heart in my mouth I followed the instructions. And ten minutes later, the file my sister wanted was there on My Mo, waiting to just be copied onto the pc and burned to disk (don't tell the bbc!). My nephew will get a copy of his appearance on "Listen to the Band" for his CV, and my sister can have a copy to play in her car.

All that fancy tech around the house, and the piece of kit that made saving iplayer content easy was n900. :D

Thanks to all involved in that little venture. Yet another thing n900 knocks spots off everything else for!

Just now.... Right now...... Im impressed.... Seriously.

I tried to test the multi tasking.. and its "WOW"... I opened 19 apps - processor hungry ones - mostly games... then I opened hotmail quickly, refreshed rss feeds, Played internet radio at the same time, recording at the same time... there was a total of about 22 apps by then . then i clicked on the connect to msn, ovi, and skype.. its then when the phone hanged on me....

Normally i would pull the battery off , but i thought lets wait.... i waited a minute or so, then it was fully functional again.. really laggy... but i DIDNT have to restart..it took a while, but i managed to close all of them..... a Windows os would have given up ages ago,,,,,,, this thing has got something serious under the hood

Very few Wows for me, and the "do I keep it" was decided with the ripped DVD of chronicles of riddick (bought legally) at 1AM and watching it on the N900. Sound, picture and just the "Wow" of seeing it so clear. Very good.

It's not a phone, it's not a business tool and it's rubbish on battery, but for those few short hours I can watch some decent films while on the commute. (Then have to charge it all day for return trip)

Should have found this website before I paid the money. Still feel ripped off at the price.

Hopefully "Brainstorming" works and fixes all those niggles, it could become a great phone / business tool

Get rid of SMS conversations and just have SMS like emails.

Scroll bars and kinetic scrolling is pants. I am always selecting the wrong thing.

Can at least solve this one for you. Have you tried Abiword? It is still work in progress though so you may want to wait for an opticised version

I had a big "WOW" again (2nd time today) when my battery went flat dead on me!!! I left home at 11 and was travelling by bus.. On my way back, at 3pm, it kept saying battery low, then went BOOM!!!

Is it a WOW because of the 4 hour battery time??
or is it a WOW because how much I got stuck to the phone that I used it till the last drop of juice in the battery remained??
I;m still confused.... Ive never had a phone give up on me at 3pm....

by the way, I fully charged it at night....

multitasking, multitasking and one more time multitasking it's amazing when I can browse and talk-chat with many people without wasting time, I don't know how iphone users can live without that ?

The moment i got the angry birds pack2 and debian installed in my babe without any knowledge on maemo 5

Re: What have been your 'wow' moments with the N900 so far?
 

"Maemo 6 may or may not be supported on N900" -Nokia, less than 2 months after launch of N900

WOW!!!

Re: What have been your 'wow' moments with the N900 so far?
 

got the phone today, many wow moments so far,

+size was smaller than expected
+speed of device after installing all updates
+speed of web browser processing even when stuck with edge
+ease of use of keyboard
+multitasking is seamless, very impressed by seeing a youtube video play in the small multitask window
+dumping a lot of music and movies on no problem. ok the media player lagged briefly at the very start of a movie, but played the rest perfectly

-conversations doesnt work after firmware update and flash. may have to get replaced by nokia, but once that is working itll be perfect.

Watching a device of this size and spec play flash videos.

And obsurd multitasking really made me Wow.
