I would have loved to go - but it would have taken two days off work and a night stay over in London from here. :(

There is a mega sized N900 display in the London Store window now. Did you get a photo Gary?

N900 mini also looks cute, maybe Mrs Ms Xmas presy

Meh, stupid planes and stuff, I couldn't register. I guess that's one inconvenience of flying over the Atlantic.

Gary, Aniello, and all the others: Fancy meeting up after/before the event? What's the date? I'd love to have a few beers around some tasty discussions.

Yeah, I'm up for that, The date is the 17th.
Are we going to vote on having it before/after or should we have both for people who want to arrive early or leave late

Surely you mean Oxford Circus?
Iain, Can you recommend any good drinking places near the store?

Re: N900 Meetups at Flagship Stores
 
It depends at what time the event is.
But I do fancy meeting up either before or after the event....

See you there!

This is the heart of the West End: Hundreds of places!

Everything from All-Bar-One to local pubs in the back streets for almost reasonable prices! If we know how many people are coming I'll scout a sensible spot and post.

NFS is literally 3 minute walking distance from Oxford Circus' south-east exit, don't bother getting off at Picaddilly Circus, as it's much farer.

Annoyingly, Google Street View doesn't cover Nokia Store itself (!), but you can see it in distance, next to the bus stop (see over DHL truck) on this view: http://is.gd/4Q545

does the nokia store have open wifi? I thought it might be interesting to stream my visit there using Qik. Would anyone be interested in that?

Hey Richie, me too, will be catching train at Cambridge. A collegue will probably be coming along (he has an N810, I've an n800 and a 770, am considering bringing them both).

Maybe we could meet up at the station?

I'd watch. heck, I'd probably even watch if you streamed the drinking session afterward. I'm an n900 addict.

There were a couple of unsecured networks available when I was in there on Friday - neither were obviously provided by nokia, and neither were obviously "open" beyond the fact that they were unsecured.

Shame I can't get to the London one. BTW has anyone else noticed that the London Flagship Store's website clock is still stuck on BST?

Does depend on where you are coming from and also the line you are on. Only a 6-7 min walk from Picadilly Circus, even with my short legs! :)

Yup, and unless you're already on the Bakerloo line when you reach Piccadilly Circus it's actually faster to walk than change.

Hi Paul

Turns out I might have meeting in London and may already be in town. I'll keep in touch and let you know what I'm up to once I hear from Nokia about the start time.

Cheers

So, it's not at their flagship store in Regent Street but it is held in
the St. Martins Lane Hotel ( www.stmartinslane.com )

email I've just received:

Welcome to the N900 meet-up !


The London meet-up is held in the St. Martins Lane Hotel ( www.stmartinslane.com ) Tuesday the 17th of November.

The doors open at 7.30pm and the 'official' part starts at 8pm. For the following couple of hours you will be able to meet likeminded people, as well as Maemo folks from Nokia and the community.

We will provide some nibble food and N900 demos, so you can get a feel for the device in case you have not had the chance yet or just have fun with it. The event then ends at 10pm after which we can continue the chats elsewhere. We will also have a surprise lottery at the end of the event.

As the space is limited, we have a name list at the door so we ask you to bring a piece of identification with you.

We are very excited about the N900, and we hope you are as well! :)


Best Regards,
The Nseries team


The Nokia N900 - Extreme speed, outstanding performance

Re: N900 Meetups at Flagship Stores
 
Is there any MaemoTalk-ers pre-meetup arranged somewhere (ie. local pub or sth) before the actual N900 meetup today? I am working until 6pm'ish near Oxford Circus so getting to the venue shouldn't take more than 20 minutes, I reckon. If there's anyone meeting together beforehand, say 6-7pm'ish, I'd appreciate PM with details.
