Much like a number of others, the n900 brought me to this site. I thought I would see what this maemo thing was all about. And, if I decide to purchase said super phone, the community will be vital. So here I am.
Welcome to the party. Enjoy your stay! :p

Re: New members say hello !
 
Since ive wandered out of the N900 Forum i thought id say Hi. Ive Been here about a week now. Ordered the N900 due to the (probably now famous) triple discount.

Id been looking to replace a Dell Axim, with the same functionality with something with web and phone access, In the last 7-ish years ive had a basic pay as you go mobile phone (spending about £30 - 40 total in that period)

So while i was in no hurry to replace it, i started looking around due to a BBC article on Smart phones. Was pretty impressed with the HTC hero, but eventually decided that the HW wasnt just quite up to it (for its price), mentioned this to a mate, who said he was thinking of the N900. Which id never heard of. Struggled to find good reviews for a while (at least compared to HTC hero which has been around longer) but the few i found intreaged me, but the more i found the more i was interested. Had more or less decided that i was interested,but planed on waiting till post christmas, partially in hope my mate would buy one, and i could get a proper look. But along came a bargain i just couldnt stop mytself.

SO im looking forward to the adventure of moving to from a mobile where i spend probably about a pound a month, do who knows what. im lookign at finding a contract(or pay as you go) that suits, and man its trick as i know im just gonna want loads of data, after all why have a machine that i hope is as good as it looks and not use it,


Oh and since no one answered my post (though its only been a day) on OVI maps. If anyone has one of the preview phones, please post some upto date info.

My usage of my Axim has been 70% ebooks (and im now pretty happy FBReader will suit me well) 20% sat nav use (of which only about 5% of the sat nav use is voice nav) 10% other, including PDF, EXCEL and DB use all of which im happy with the N900 options.

So the only doubt i have is about the Sat nav side. Idealy id like to Dump the Axim totally, and trust my self to one device.

Re: New members say hello !
 
Hello folks!
This is pie, Cherrypie. :)
I turned 17 in may & live in Germany with my family and my girlfriend.
Currently i'm doing an apprenticeship for IT-Specialist at SAP.
I was looking for quite a long time for a new phone, since my old one is a Nokia 7610, which isn't even listed on the official page from nokia anymore. :(
Anyway, from all the phones that were on the market, 3 months ago when I started looking for a new one, the iphone was definitly the smoothest, coolest looking and most powerful one. But when it comes to customizabilty, the iphone OS looses out. This, for me as a person who likes programming and wants to customize my devices in every possible way, was the main reason, why i'm not writing these letters in an apple forum now.
That was the point when suddenly the N97 turned out of nowhere, a new flagship with Touchscreen plus full qwerty keyboard? Sounds good, but the technology built in there isn't really new & the improvements to other touchscreen phones from nokia like the 5800 isn't that huge, considering that high price for the N97.
So I kept looking and looking & then, yet again, I found my way to maemo.nokia.com & was amazed! After numerous readings of previews, reviews of the prototype & watching alot of youtube vids about it, we all can say for sure, that the N900 kills the iphone in every single way.
If you kept on reading till now, I should say thank you, for your wasted time, huh? :D
Anyway, that's the story why I preordered my N900 and will have a deep look into programming for meamo 5.

Cya around.

Welcome, Cherrypie, to the forum! No, I am not an official forum greeter. I work in Yorba Linda, California, USA. and have been doing the same work, at the same company, for over 31 years. That is why I am able to spend hours each day viewing this forum. This forum keeps me awake during my 9 hour shift. I am content with my N800 because I have free WiFi at work and the city in which I live has free WiFi for everyone. Cys around, Cherrypie.

Hi folks,

I registered here a few weeks ago and been reading these posts every now and then. I'm now using e90 and preordered n900 because of it's Maemo os. I'm not a developer, just another Linux-user :)

ty, for the warm welcome ;)

Free WiFi for everyone? How's that been realized? Hotspots everywhere in town or one huge transmitter? Never heard of something like free WiFi everywhere in town, only possibility in germany to get Internet everywhere is a sim-card with a surf-anywhere contract which costs 10€/month for a flatrate.

edit: hey pansper (:

Its called "MetroWiFi" installed and maintained by AT&T. Access point boxes are installed outside on top of street light poles. The city pays because all police, fire and emergency departments use. All the traffic cameras are link to the system. Reception is fine indoors for houses, but large buildings install repeaters on their rooftops. There are now dozens of citys in the U.S. with this system.

Re: New members say hello !
 
Well, I think I am the newest kid on the block, registered today. I'm Hungarian (nobody is perfect), the N900 will be my first Maemo device, I've been a Nokia user for a long time, N95 in the last two years. I am fascinated by the prospect of an all-inclusive device, where I can carry half of world literature, concert hall repertoire, all my photos and personal and office documents, etc. in my pocket, handle and do work with them. I am a freelancer so this prospective freedom is quite exciting. I am deeply impressed by the collective knowledge and know-how of this community. I am afraid in the beginning I am going to be asking questions mostly, will try to keep them not more silly than is absolutely inevitable.
