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

i just got this baby today and no real wow moments yet. the closest was when i realized just how much faster and smoother i open and close browser windows. i feel the browser got quite a bit better since the N810.

My biggest wow moment has been when I noticed on my home wifi network the media player automatically picked up my UPnP media server and was able to play music and video from it flawlessly right away out of the box!

Hmm where should I start:

- The browser
- The desktops
-the general speed of the UI
- Integrated contacts with gsm/msn/skype
- X term
- Ease of Use of the app repositories
- Nokia Messaging pushing my gmails
- Speakers and music quality (although I'm waiting for some 3rd party music players)
- Camera, video is cool
- Sharing all types of media via the already available applications and sharing services

I only have two issues
1) wireless battery drainage bug
2) battery life in general is weak for me probably because signal quality here sucks... I hope I can, or the firmware can improve it somehow.

Other than these two issues everything has been awesome :)

I played with one in the London NSF. My one should arrive tomorrow.

For me the wow moment was on picking it up for real. Its just felt beautifully weighted in my hand, perfect for two handed use. How often do you see other phone users walking down the road doing their email two handed in Portrait mode, LOL.

Again on the handling side of things,being able to scroll the screen down by pulling with my finger tip, and then to flick it up with the back of my finger nail just felt perfectly intuitive.

Sure it might feel chubby in my pocket, but not in my hand, where it will spend most of its time.

For me everything was wow!!!
The problem is when you using head set it is hard to use key board or if you charging the phone and your head set is on, it just impossible to use your key board.

Every time I click something I feel the power of ARM Cortex-A8 and PowerVR SGX transferring from the phone through my hands into me.

That in return generates small orgasms throughout my body :D

wow moment number 1: Unboxing, connecting the the wireless, plug it in to the 42'' LCD in the living room, and browsing some youtube videos.

wow moment number 2: Doing a conference call using my car as an headset (bluetooth connection) . Was testing FM transmitter in the meantime.

The major problem for me is rethinking the concept of "laptop" because my laptop was suddenly left in a position where it is mostly useful when it is connected to the grid and running ktorrent :-).

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

Probably the biggest so far (got it yesterday) was right after opening the box and having a play through.
I was just launching everything i could find, and while surfing i went back to the task switcher and had about 30 programs open.
Hadn't even noticed, since everything was still running smoothly.

The other was logging into my linux server and launching an X program, that's just so awesome.

Gonna have a lot of fun with this thing.

wow.. you can't download the UK specific firmware from tablets-dev.nokia.com, it's been left off the list :( Why does the UK have such a bad time with firmware:

Not totally related, but still

Biggest wow so far on the positive side has to be GPU acceleration.. Having used fairly basic (but good) tablets in the past, I'm loving the new GPU powered user interface.. scrolling is nice..
If this phone does nothing else, it's got me really excited about Maemo6!!

It is just a much nicer Maemo tablet.. and that makes me happy

contacts integation, I chat ALOT, so having everything under 1 persons name like email, sms, gmail, skype was amazing.

The seamless switching between multitasking opening up proper videos on websites i needed a computer for (time.com), and just regular surprises e.g. the ease of opening 100mb powerpoint slides.
