Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi, just joined today but have been reading comments and reviews since own my N900 for a couples of weeks. This by far is my favorite phone right now. The capability of this phone and its open source is great.

I used WM prior to this and once I saw it advertise back in Nov. I knew I had to have this. Loved everything about it. The ability to multitask, dl, and web browsing is great. Just wish nokia can added portrait mode to web and text. And when I mean web in portrait I mean acutally use all the landscape features not just reading and clicking links. Landscape is nice but entering text on web and texting with one hand is difficult.

Re: New members say hello !
 

I have post this somewhere else, but I'm not sure where I can get help and I need it!
I just received my Nokia N900 on March 18. I bought a screen protector and installed it right out of the box. I shopped for about 2 months and finally decided for this Mobile Computer/Smart Phone because of the amazing hardware features and its flexibility due to OS system. However, I've found a few flaws that have made me think of returning it and get something else.:(

With the N900 I wanted to replace the following:

3 Year old Samsung Blackjack i608 (FAIL - This phone has MMS and IM support without Internet connection needed):(
3 year old Gateway M250 Laptop. (FAIL - TWO major issues: Flash Video and Streaming Audio via Internet):(
4 Year old Sony Cybershot camera (PASS - Good Picture and Video):D
4 Year old iAudio Multimedia Player (MP3,WMA, FM and Voice Recorder) (PASS - A couple of Apps needed but work very well).:)

And I wanted to acquire the following:

GPS (CHECK):p
SIP Phone Capabilities (CHECK);)
True Mobile Computer Capabilities (Fail):mad:

May be my expectation was to high, but I read several reviews and decided for the N900. I really WANT TO LOVE the N900 BUT these two issues had got to me:

YOUTUBE freezes on ANY video after 10% streamed. Also, does the same at WatchMoviesOnline[dot]com. But it works well in tu.tv

Internet Radio that comes built-in the Media Player plays only about 20 seconds of ANY song and then freezes.

My internet connection (15Mbps download 5Mbps upload)

Do I have a bad unit?:confused: How can I fix these two issues? :confused:

I hope with MeeGo all these issues are resolved, including MMS and Flash 10 support. Thank you for reading. ;)

Hi All,

Great website and forum.

I have been a Nokia fan for about 11 years now, I remember owning a 5570 the brick...over year Nokia phones kept me happy, online most of the times...till the time I got my N97 just 4 months back ....The phone design and concept was great...but not a great phone...one fine day my E drive was not accessible and I had to return th phone to the Nokia store....

Now, I got a N900 and its on its way home - Mumbai from New York as I write this ....Yes I got my phone from New York...even my N97...

So, my question is What are the draw backs of N900 and How can I overcome them, I am already a disappointed Nokia fan...And I hope N900 is better than the N97...

So suggestions and feedback on the phone would help me great...

Thanks,
Srini

Hello all, another newbie here, this one's called James and is from the UK

I'm a former iPhone user who was sick and tired of Apple's lack of vision w.r.t. flash etc., so I have decided to jump ship and order an N900 which should be arriving on Weds this week.

I'm completely new to Maemo as a concept - never even heard of it until the N900 (lol)

:D

Hello maemo guys, I am a previous user of Nokia N 97, and in next two days my N 900 will be delivered to me.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Greetings from the UK everyone. I've just taken the plunge and ordered my sim free N900 to use on O2...

Very much looking forward to my first mobile internet experience, and I hope I've made the right decision regarding device choice. It was a hard one to call between HTC HD2, Moto Milestone and N900, but the Nokia came up tops in my book!

Re: New members say hello !
 

hey guys! just saying hello, used to consider myself a bit of a phone whiz (in my small circles - not internet world!) and love making my gadget of choice do things it was never really meant to, so when i seen the n900 coming obviously it spoke volumes to me! loving it so far, even more so loving being thrown back to noob status since i've never used linux before, and even my vague recollection of DOS helps not a jot when i have to command line again now. so i apologise beforehand for any noobish questions i might (read: WILL) bug you guys with! but we all gotta learn sometime! okay rant over, peace out.

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi everyone, got my n900 2 days ago, think it's a great device, not bothered by the meego or not meego issue because I think I can do very well with maemo and easy debian..
Peace.
P.S. Romania btw

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi everyone and greetings from Tampere, Finland.
I got a first IRL touch to N900 just few days ago and I must say I'm impressed. I'm a previous user of several S60 devices and I've been working in many mobile testing projects for couple of years at Sasken Finland Oy.
I joined in the collaboration to contribute in Maemo & apps testing and conversations as a user, a professional and a hobbyist :)

Re: New members say hello !
 

@jarnori - welcome to Maemo, and to our forums!

Just like to pop in and say hello

I am really loving my N900 - Had it 2 weeks now and havent even scratched the preverbial surface with it. Trying to understand how to gain access to get into the phone, so i can load themes which some users have kindly made available, but are not in an install file.

Regards

Re: New members say hello !
 

Greetings from India!!
Bought N900 from Helsinki Flagship store since it is not yet available in India.
Thanks for all the great work done!

I have installed and tried so many of the apps that I keep enjoying it ( only fear is of consuming the rootfs space to the last byte ).
The best are Quake3, vpnGUI and rdesktop-cli, Pidgin and Transmission. Now, I can proudly say that my N900 is fully utilized.

Just heard that MeeGO will be the new name for the next release, getting ready for more.....

Cheers,
Anwer

Hi to all new members :) Enjoy the forums

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi all!

Been lurking around here for a couple of weeks now, sorry for not saying hi before. Bought the N900 because I wanted a hand held computer that would take photos, play music and do all the other things that a computer does, but in my hand. Oh, and make and receive some phone calls too. Guess what? This kit does all that so I am one happy bunny.:D

Cheers guys,

Barrie

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hi bought the N900 beacuse it makes the inner geek in me feel all warm and fuzzy - and because its about as close a form factor I'm going to get to UIQ 3 without going WinMo...

Re: New members say hello !
 

Hello everybody! I got my N900 about a month ago and it is the best device I have ever owned, no question about it. It just has so much potential!

Hi guys of the MC,

Edo from Tanzania I got my N900 this month, its a machine like no other its the best smartphone in the market to date and will remain the best for some time. Previous phone was HTC Tytan 2........not bad but not enough. Currently am using the N900 and Asus M930. Lets continue to help each other to make this machine the best there ever is and was.
