Re: Spotted, other N900 users....
 
I am in San Luis Obispo, CA and mine is the only one I have seen. Being at a software company I was sure they would be more prevalent, but everyone seems to be on the Android kick, lots of HTC's -- mostly the manager types. Trapped in Java VM over a linux kernel, they seem to have missed the point, entirely. Very surprising to me. Have not seen one anywhere else, ever... actually. If I see someone else, I am certainly going to strike up a conversation.

emma, you're a genius. i'll report back :)

... and I'm sure you could get some kind of physics lesson out of Angry Birds ... quite sure with an n900 and a whiteboard you can turn out a generation of n900 lovers ...

not many round here in essex uk

saying that they are still rare due to vodafone having an exclusive on it and nokia not stocking many units at the minute and advertisement being kept to the minimal

i dont think the bad weather has helped with deliverys etc in the uk

there is alot of people wanting them on the vodafone forums but they are struggling due to vodas short supply from nokia

quite like it being rare but imagine the support the device will get when its mainstream :-) with the hardware and software iam pretty sure anything is possible and when people find out about it then iam sure we will see many more people take to it :-)

Never seen another N900 in the flesh.

Also am I the only N900 owner sad enough to have a browse round Mobile phone shops whilst tapping away on the keyboard. Hoping that SOMEONE must notice it soon :(

:D So sad, but I did catch a fish when buying a memory card that was on offer in Carphone Warehouse, of course I HAD to put it in the phone right away. At last!! The assistant noticed and I spent the next 1/2 hr showing him the device. It was only the fact that my wife dragged me away that prevented me staying all afternoon :D

I still pop into the Nokia Retail store in Guildford and look longingly at the lonely display model. I think I may have early onset dementia :(

I have never seen a N900 in real life! I have a N810, my geeky friend had one, and another friend had a 770. I have more friends with Droids than iPhones, but I think thats because most people like Verizon here (University of Richmond). Haven't seen any in Cali either.

I was at Starbucks with my friend in Chicago (Andersonville) and I saw a guy pull out N900 and took a shot of his girlfriend. I almost went up to him and said "Nice phone" while flipping mine out.

Still haven't seen another one 'in the wild' - not that I expected to in Derby, as even the Vodafone store staff were surprised to see one ("how did you score one of those?"). Too bad that I'd neglected to charge it the night before, so they couldn't see it in action =P

There might be another one soon though; my friend, who was previously looking at getting a phone running Android, is now thinking the N900 is the way to go...

Anyone else around in the Midlands? =3

One of our help desk guys has an N900, but apart from that I've not seen another one in the wild and as far as I know, noobmonkey is the next nearest N900 user to me.

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
