Reading a book yesterday and receiving an email from Amazon saying they cannot charge my credit card. While leaving the book open I clicked on the link in email, opened a browser, logged to my Amazon account and corrected the credit card details. Closed the browser, deleted the email and got back to the book. All that in a bus on the way to a pub without the need to wait to get to a computer or trying to use a crippled and slow browser in my old smartphone... Not a biggest WOW but a latest one...

Controlling my brothers macbook pro through vnc viewer and him having know idea what was going on until I revealed to him my n900. Given he could do the same with his iphone ,still gave me joy to show off my phone, the mighty nokia n900. Also the screen resolution playing games is noticeably better on the n900 like when my younger brothers angry birds on his ipod touch looked less crisp than that the n900 :D

My wow moments with the N900 have definitely come from working on the PUSH N900 project for Nokia. I'm still amazed to this day what the first five teams achieved with a N900 and a bit of creative modding. Drawing pictures on an Etch a Sketch controlled by a N900, aerial photography from a kite, recording skateboard tricks via mini sensors on a skateboard connected via Bluetooth, light graffiti N900 controlled LED spray cans and a seriously cool haptic guide belt which directs the wearer by pulsing a buzzer on the belt itself. All absolutely amazing concepts.

Plus, we've just been going through all the MOD IN THE USA submissions and there's a whole heap of completely new ideas that we'll be showing to the world at CTIA in March. The announcement for the the MOD IN THE USA is happening around 12pm ET Today!

There have been countless wow moments...but the best was today.

For the first time I was synchronising my business mailbox with approx. 600 mails in 35 subfolders over 3.5G connection / OpenVPN from our factory Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.
Everything runs smooth, heavy weight attachements I received / sent in the past 2 years could be opened, zip, ms word or excel, pdf,...

By the way, another wow moment, this has been postet with n900...

Big thanks to nokia and this community for the best mobile device I've ever had!

1. Being able to ban a spammer from my own forum instead of waiting to get home to do it.

2. Being the center of attention at work when introducing the peeps to the N900, 3 of whom had a rival handset that shall go unmentioned.

I love this :-)

Same here and on that I changed the colors to green on black and decreased the fonts from 16 to 12, totally blown away. And just because of this I am trying to remember another moment...

Has to be the sketch program. A bit slow but better than nothing. Then the pdf reader and Xournal app.
