But then it's about the same as an iPhone3GS.

What? Unsubsidized(sp?) iPhone 3GS here in Germany is about EUR 990,- (without netlock), which is around EUR 400,- more than the Nokia with EUR 599,-.

Both prices include 19% VAT.

No idea about the price in US-$, but the n800 (without GPS, Phone, Keyboard) was EUR 335,- when ordered from Nokia at the beginning of 2007.

Everyone was saying what a great video it was, as if that was relevant. I didn't hear any of you who agreed with the (above) comment saying, "you're praising the N900 because of a marketing video. You're praising the N900 because of a marketing video."

Let me say that again. They were praising the N900 because of a marketing video.

Hands on video looks great though.

No, we were praising the marketing video because it was very professionally done and was just cool.
We're praising the N900 because of the specs that are on the next page after the video.

784 is a power of 2 and considering that NAND chips usually have few bytes (per block) left for error detection and correction checksum , I wouldn't be surprised it'd be a dedicated NAND chip with 784Mb of space used as a swap device.
They are quite fast (if you don't take into account random data access) but it's still good enough for the N900.

Sweet.

btw, it almost looks like we were waiting for bug 5000 to announce Maemo 5...

Does anyone know if the bluetooth stack in the n900 exposes a DUN profile?

The longer version of this question is "can I use this as a modem?".

The US translation may be "does this phone support tethering"? I am never certain about this last one, as the phrase "tethering" seems to have only come into parlance recently, and from the US, whereas I have used every phone I have owned for 10 years as a modem - even over IR before BT came on the scene.

So I wonder sometimes if it just got a name recently, or if it is a CDMA thing, which thankfully the rest of us in the world never really had to put up with.

Err.. sorry, rambling. Is there a DUN profile?
