It was released on 9th of june . Very low sales volumes though .

Re: Problem with N900 Bought in India !

i'm not surprised about the volume....having seen the type of fones with my family and friends in india, i'd b surprised if anyone bought the n900.....it would have to b someone who's quite informed abt the n900 and it's uses and potential who would buy it in India....or word of mouth from outside India......being priced at 35k rupees doesn't help either......

Re: Problem with N900 Bought in India !

more than anything i feel its the marketing of n900 that sucks...in india atleast. apart from few tech websites...i find no advertisemens be it in tv, news papers, stores nothing at all. its like they are jus doin it for the sake. thats whr apple differs even though nokia has the potential.

Totally wrong man....i just flashed my n900 with the latest global firmware yesterday...and its working just fine with skype........battery life has also increased......

i gave my mobile's IME number and i was able to choose any firmware i want and to flash it

its a very simple process.check the link below and follow the simple steps

If you are worried about the warranty,just reflash it with indian firmware before you take it to nokia care.....flashing wont take more than 5mins....

And There is again no difference between the Global and Indian firmware except for skype. :)
