Re: N900 Issues: For Potential Buyers

Agree with almost all the problems mentioned in the list. I have most of them. I should've probably purchased samsung wave or waited for galaxy(which are at similar prices). N900 is not at all a good phone. Although, it is one of the few devices which can also be called a computer.

Re: N900 Issues: For Potential Buyers

Actually I disagree the N900 is the best phone I have ever owned. I really like Maemo as an OS, but do not like what I have seen of Meego so far.

May be you could swap your N900 on GUMTREE, Thats were I swapped my HTC Desire for my beloved N900.

The Desire is a great handset but not open enough for my likes, the n900 is far better......

:):):)

Re: N900 Issues: For Potential Buyers

Wondering if the N900 is still worth buying?
Basically I'm not looking for a phone I have a Nokia E72 for my calls and a HTC Desire that I play with but I am looking for something that can play loads of games, movies and also has a TV Out.

They seem quite cheap now the N900 and I was wondering if as an intenet, movie and emulator device is worth it still?

Re: N900 Issues: For Potential Buyers

loads of games - hmm...far less than android, far far less than iphone...
movies - superb, support more format than any other phones (save lots of time in conversion)
TV Out - you can't complain more, especially when you can play movie full-screen on TV while browsing web at the same time.
Emulator - I think you mean game emulator? Much better than android's in term of speed and 3D. You may search youtube for demos.

Re: N900 Issues: For Potential Buyers

Another quick query, in terms of spec does the N900 run the MeeGo version that has been released by Nokia so far?
I know there will not be an official release but I do fancy a play!

Why BME close? Because any wrong setting would cause the battery to explode, literally.

I think you should accept the reality that N900 is made for landscape mode officially. The good news is that it can also operate in portrait with some tweak, which you reluctant to accept as a solution.

In this connection, N900 is the wrong phone for you, because we enjoy what you disdain at, that's very sad.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52227
this is host mode, it needs bme made opensource
host mode allows ur mobile to act as a host..
so u can connect a mouse, keyboard, flash memory etc
did u read the full discussion?

pr1.2 *leaked one* had portrait mode but they removed it i suppose

N8 has hdmi out so you may want to look at its specs. Unfortunately runs on symbian though.
