Re: N900 - convince me
 

I'm not sure if I should be posting links to other companies? It's top of a google search for quidco though. I tend to look on there as they give cashback on purchases (in this case 10%) and have been around a few years. I'd rather get it direct from Nokia if the price is the same or there is only a minor difference. A friend ordered a computer from Mesh via that website and got cashback, and I did a couple of years ago with a Vodafone contract and last year for an o2 sim.

I guess a wikipedia page wouldn't hurt though :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quidco

The official website is linked from there. It's a short page.

That would come in just under the £50 paypal limit. So I wouldn't have to give out bank details. And I'd have money in the paypal to spend on other things, too. ;)

In EU, yes, 7 days.

Re: N900 - convince me
 

Can I ask you a question....

Do you guys think that the N900 will be a good messaging phone / device? Keyboard, OS, build quality (not having the screen snap or fly off because of constant sliding)...

Re: N900 - convince me
 

Operative word being "think", I think it'll be fine in build quality. All he reports I've heard talk about it having a sturdy build. Also it's a Nokia and I have NEVER had a Nokia phone break, I currently have a slider and I've used it for over a year, it slides just as well as when I got it (even though the phone has been smashed against the ground and various other objects).

I'm sure it'll be a fine messaging phone, though honestly if that's all you're looking for you're probably overshooting the mark a bit, and hence also paying more than you should.

Re: N900 - convince me
 

Ohh I know it's expensive, but my PRIMARY uses are messaging. My SECONDARY uses are games, apps, tweaking, VoIP. I'll use those other apps maybe every day or every other day (especially VoIP :D) but messaging will be the most used (email, sms, & IM).

Well, you succeeded. Took me a while, but I just hit the button at amazon.co.uk. I even activated my free trial of 'premium' to get free one day delivery.

I fear I'm going to need some paw-holding over the next few months, but you've ben very patient with me so far. If you can get this bear up to speed on an n900, Joe Average will have no problem with the n1000!

What I need now (apart from a stiff drink for the shaking) is a wallpaper for my laptop to feed my addiction. Would I be allowed to make one from the Nice Images on nokia.maemo.org?

Re: N900 - convince me
 

Oh absolutely, as long as you don't mind typing with two hands.

I'd say the three biggest out-of-the-box strengths of the N900 are the web, messaging, and VOIP integration.

Re: N900 - convince me
 

As long as you aren't redistributing them. ;)

We also have these pretty maemo.org logos over here which you're welcome to use (and redistribute!).
