:)

this is a brilliant idea...

perhaps it need it's own thread, this was some of the developers might find it and let us know if it's possible.

So I grin and laugh silently :D

Lol, Nice!

This phone(sry internet tablet) is just AWESOME ;)

Also this morning they have put a MASSIVE N900 poster up at tower hill underground station (platform 1) with the marketing slogan 'MultiMultiTasking' ...should have tried to get a picture seeing as i was stood there for 15 mins staring at it while i waited for the mind torturing circle line.

Was that guy Pakistani in glasses? ;p

District line is my line and I'm often standing watching TV on mine.

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....

currently the broadcom chip set Lan codes are not beign picked up here: http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/

So I'm finding it hard to work out the LANS.

I'll try and see if there a range for that chipset , any other max lan code examples would be greatful, thanks

Ok it seems here is the list:

This doesn't narrow down the N900 though

agreed. i was entirely underwhelmed by both the build-up to release and the finished product. in comparison the n900 has been electric (to those that know it exists, at least)

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....

There's at least 15 N900 owners at the university I study at. I see someone using it at the library or at the restaurants on a daily basis.

Mind you, that's more often than I see iPhones. Then again, Finland is a bit special on that aspect anyway.

92.3% of the population in Brighton seem to be iPhone users, although I have been showing off the N900 at every opportunity. I've found that the best way to shut an iPhone user up is to demonstrate the multitasking by opening up 7 or 8 applications then showing them the dashboard with all 7 or 8 apps still running. Never fails! :D

I had a couple of i-phone brigade students where I work come up to me while is was using my n900. He asked me if he could take a look at my 'tablet', so i obliged. He was in ore when I showed him the multitasking and after showing him a avi video that i explained hadn't been converted, he asked me where he can get one from and trade in his. Another convert I think!

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....

I haven't seen another n900 other than the one that I have.
I traded an iPhone 3G 8GB straight up for it to a guy on Craigslist.
If I happen to see a girl pull one out by chance, I will probably ask her to marry me. :D

Re: Spotted, other N900 users....

The first and only N900 I've seen (apart from my own) was at the line for Dady-O New Years Eve in Cancun, Mexico. Still have not seen any in Denmark.

Anyone near me with one?

May I ask what school is this? If this is City Tech, than most likely that person could be me!!!

Can't say I saw one in the wild because it's own by one of my friends.

Any New York City resident here that owns one? I kind of feel lonely here ya know
