Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Just a question crossed my mind after seeing a few threads reporting problems with their N900 so I thought it would be nice to get your opinions.

Question is simple - do you regret buying the N900 because of software/hardware issues/problems and wished you waited for another few months until all the bugs had been ironed out?

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Absolutely not, but I use it the way it's meant to be used.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

and what way is that? coffee table :p

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No regrets. I expected some bugs and other issues, just as the iphone had on their first release a few years ago.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No. The more I use it the more I like it.

One or two days after buying it, I was thinking I should have gotten a droid or Iphone.
But the more features I learned to use, and the more things that I saw it could do that other phones can't, the more I started to like it.


I love it now. It's not perfect but the only way I'd give it up is if someone pried it out of my cold dead.... :)

That was answered in another thread: Laughingstok is using it as an IT professional's tool of choice.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No, I don't regret it. The phone isn't perfect(but then again what phone is), and it hasn't randomly rebooted lately, so I don't regret it.

Also, since I finally got MfE working I'm a much happier camper.

It's got problems, but not enough for me to return it. Good thing it has the T-mobile 3G bands though, otherwise I don't think I could deal. That's part of the reason I like it - the browser+3G kicks serious arse!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

no regrets, although i bit upset with the news that the next Meamo 6 device will be out by end of next year.

Hypnotik,
no going off topic, how did you get your MfE working?

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Nope- even with the IMO, weak 2G signal.

This device is pure goodness :)

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

not even for a second. Typing this on my n900 :D

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Not at all.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Hell no. Very happy so far.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

There is no way they will be able to ship a consumer ready Maemo 6 device in 2010. Mark my words!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

heh...if the n900 is any indication of how nokia launches phones then it wont be out till mid 2011 =P. and if you can preorder the new device from dell you can wait till year end for it!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

i am very happy too and once we get an update with mms etc and portrait mode i am even more happy . i also hope nokia wont bring out a new maemo model too soon ' lets get this one sorted cos i am tired of having to upgrade to newer hardware every so often.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRR I am still waiting mine

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Pretty happy with mine inspite of some shortcomings. The negatives are few compared to the many positives. Simple.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No regret, I even ordered a case and screen protector before buying the phone and managed to convince 3 of my friends to buy the device ;)

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

exactly. positives definately outweigh the very minor negatives

love my N900 (or Nicola900 shes the other woman at the mo taken up too much of my time!!) and a week on the love is getting stronger

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No regret
First device I've got on pre-order
Probably the device I'm gonna be using for at least a year before changing to Maemo 6 xD

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Never and always WILL NOT!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No regret whatsoever. Initially disappointed simply with the fact that it lacks many of the capabilities my N95 can do but the more I use this baby, the better we bond.:cool:

Nokia needs to rush with the new firmware upgrade to include:

1. Ability to have/create multiple profile. With different a choice of ringtone per profile.

2. Say Caller Name: Really missed that.

3. GPS. Improve the GPS to the current N95 standard or better.

4. MMS. This is not essential but it will be nice to have.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

I luv ur blog hypnotik, its intermediately informal for ealry stage tech geeks like me. Also I've been working on my own blog and from reading yours I have an inspiration wellanywho is there any chance you coild throw in some tips on getting into command lines as in learning how to do it with your N900... also I like the way your doing segments but I wanted to ask if you could through in a video on some stuff... thanks

I wish I could add my 2 cents in but my processing order was canclled :( long story , its posted in the Amazon thread though )

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No regrets at all!

I don't think it's a bad thing a Maemo 6 device will be out next year. I'm almost certain they won't release in for another YEAR and in one year's time, I'm more than ready for the next step.

Remember that Maemo 6 is supposed to be the final step in a long chain. That will ensure they don't rush it to market and we'll have the N900 community to occupy ourselves with until then.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No way, I'm lovin' it!! :D Just can't wait for the next firmware update

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No regrets. No matter the issues with the software, I believe that everything will be perfect...in due time. We have an excellent community here and all the support to make the progressively better!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

best phone i have used, in a long time and can ovly get better with firmware updates, i think the game will be over for the iphone very soon

(also i have no idea why so many review website said the screen was crap, as its one of the best i have used, its just so easy to use, they are just iphone lovers)

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

My best phone ever!!! I used to be a die-hard Palm user. I loved the combination of touch screen and full qwerty on my Treo 600 and 650 phones. I've been in the wilderness jumping from device to device trying to get a modern device that has the level of control and functionality that they used to have.

This phone is what I've been waiting for since the Treo 650!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Not at all. I know there are some bugs, but so does every freshly released devices.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Never!!! It has really impressed me... Even at work my coworkers are extremely impressed by it and they all have an iphone and one a palm pre... we are all techies and designers, no simple user there... it needs some ironing but that was expected... i aboslutely love it!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

I've decided to return mine unless someone want it

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

I love mine, just arrived today. No problems whatsoever, it's wayyyyyyy better than other phones. My decission to sell the N97 and get this was right.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

EXACTLY!!!:)

These were my thoughts exactly when I got my 900 set up the way I wanted it. I put off getting an Iphone because I've been a hardcore palm devotee for a bout a decade now. But then I found out about the n900 and its 32g and I couldn't bring myself to get the pre with its measly 8g of non expandable storage.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Not at all, I love that thing and i got exactly what i expected because i informed me BEFOR i bought it but it seems that not all of the early adopters did that....

The world would be better place if all users would do that. Buying it because your a Nokia fan or because the blonde girl in the shop told you too will result in getting what you where told to get and not getting what you want... just my 0.02$ ;)

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Hell no!

Ive been wanting a n tablet with a cell radio in it since the n770 and now i have it!! one device. No tethering to a phone in the other pocket anymore, though the n770 is currently teathered to this :P

Though i havent installed a SIM in it yet i can function well with wifi and skype and it keeps ppl from calling me :cool:

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Its fast, stable and MACHO.

A complete Technical KNOCKOUT.

Whats not to like ?

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Not regretting at all... I had some doubts while waiting for it, but now I have to say that this is the perfect phone for me...

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

No Regrets! I love this device.

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

Absolutely NOT, I am using HTC HD, iPhone3 and windows 7 LG phone but N900 us far ahead with all other phone, So I proud to have this small item with a huge computer power in my pocker

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?
 

i don't regret buying my device at all but i do regret certain others who have bought them.
