Are people that unhappy with their N900's?. I am actually really very satisfied with mine. Even with the new phones being released - I haven't found one that stacks up against the N900

I think the main issue with N900 is just not being a "traditional" phone.
If you keep comparing it to any other "phone" it will lose the match. N900, as well as its predecessors, is NOT a phone. Is a pocketable computer which you can use to make calls too.

From my very own point of view, being able to run almost (both using maemo specific software or using EasyDebian) any software has no price, as well as being able to have a bash shell always available in my hands.

If you are looking for a phone, well, N900 is NOT your choice. ;)

I agree! I'm running another buisiness with this phone

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users
 
I dunno what the heck it will be but I am sure the whiners/criers will create threads and more threads about how "disappointing Nokia is" and what they want...

Sometimes I would like to buy an iPhone just to have a heavily guarded and moderated forum and live in Steves bubble. I wouldnt be buying a phone, I would be buying peace of mind... A lifestyle I would say.

It is tempting.

Dont get me wrong, I love my N900 to bits, really brilliant piece of kit. I just hope Nokia would commit to developing more stuff for it, improve it as much as they can, rather than just say "maybe we will do this, maybe not, you just wait there".

Official Meego support
 
I think the only earth-shattering or really "exciting" news for N900 users - and one that could realistically be done - is Nokia backing off from the "we won't officially support Meego on the N900" to "N900 will have full Meego support". Why?
  1. It does not seem so expensive to do. Meego is currently used as a developing platform for Meego, anyways. You would have some logistical costs and some stuff to be done - like a porting guide from Maemo to Meego - but compared to other alternatives, like doubling efforts by developing Ovi Maps 3.0 to Meego and Maemo, seems quite viable.
  2. It would actually revert some of Nokia bad press. It was big news when they said they wouldn't support Meego officially on the N900.
  3. Other things would naturally follow, like Flash 10.1. It is quite improbable that Nokia would not bring Flash 10 to the Meego platform! Ovi Maps 3.0 for meego too, with unified Qt development. And other software stuff that they wouldn't have to backport - or program at all - to Maemo.
  4. If Meego is actually considered a Maemo upgrade, they are not really supposed to keep making Maemo OS updates like PR1.3 and such. They can just do Meego updates and be happy with it.

Ok, all things considered, Nokia is bad at delivering, so I think this announcement will be nothing really worthwhile. But it was fun to think like Nokia management had a rational mind.

They will publish the good news that "the more exciting news are coming next month" which would be then delayed by 2 or more weeks.

but yeh, I'm satisfied with my n900.

Fcam unleashed for the Nokia N900

By Ian on 21 July 2010

Nokia N900PALO ALTO, United States – Stanford University and Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, have created and released a new, open-source digital photography platform, called Fcam, (short for ‘Frankencamera’). It allows developers to create new capabilities for digital cameras, and users to take advantage of a whole new class of photography apps. The platform is available as a free download for the Nokia N900, starting today, at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/fcam/.

Saw the garage page. So, it's an API. So, it's not an application per se, although it seems to come with a sample 'fcamera' application.

If that is it, that would still be epic. An epic failure to deliver. lol

The "only" reason I'm shopping another phone (most likely android) is that the 900 will "most likely" never have sling mobile support.

Other than that, Flash 10.x would be nice, but if the 900 has received its last update, I could live with the phone for another 2 years.
