Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Just got my new NOKIA N900 yesterday. I must say i've been a loyal, long time fan and user of NOKIAs, but this one... they really screwed it up big time! So many bugs, such a crap. I'm sending it back tomorrow for a full refund. Screen only tilts if you use phone dialer, alarm does now work on the phone if bluetooth connected, in other words the alarm will work, but the sound will only be in bluetooth, i guess one would have to sleep with bluetooth to wake up. Also if bluetooth connected you will not hear a ring on the phone, you will only hear ring in bluetooth. Very , very disappointed. My advice, don buy it yet, maybe they'll fix it later.

Alarm works fine without bluetooth connected. sorry you have problems. bye!

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

You're sending it back because of that?

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Yeh without bluetooth, why should i bother shutting bluetooth off? I have it always on, everything works fine with my NOKIA N97.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

wait you signed up to this forum just to start this one tread just to post this one post?

lol

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

I've missed bunch of calls because of this. Also while talking on bluetooth, and if you get another call coming in, it puts automatically first caller on hold. Really crap.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

hmmmm....hope mine turns out to be in good working orderif theres any bugs wiv mine imma go ballistic

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

you do realize this device just released weeks ago and will have bugs like any other new device out there, right? NO DEVICE is perfect right out the box.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Screen is only in portrait mode when phone dialer is used...................I am so surprised. You´re device must be way different than all the other ones.

Welcome to the forum :)

Portrait mode is yes only enabled in the dialer for now. It´ll be enabled in more aspects via updates later. Nokia has not been specific on how far they´ll go with that.

I´d see the device not making sounds in other places than on the bluetooth to be the feature I´d want. I mean really, don´t I connect to bluetooth headsets for the purpose of using them? And then disconnect if I am not?

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Before buying a product (especially something expensive), always know and research what you're buying.


It's your own fault.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Give the man a break! He's pissed off for burning a hole in his pants & getting this sort of result. It's normal!

I'm sorry to hear this dude, I guess you'll just have to wait for a firmware update or perhaps exchange it for another N900? If it makes you happy, just ask for a refund & go for the Milestone or HD2.

A little tip for the future; don't EVER moan about the N900 on talk.maemo.org, you'll get the auto-abuse reply ;)

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

A phone should work as a phone first, dont care about multiple desktops if i cant hear when someone is calling me

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

I have to say that the Original Poster is 100% on target here. I'm noticing some strange stuff with Bluetooth in a number of different areas in addition to what he is referring to. All the things that bother Vasputin are irritating to me as well.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Trade descriptions act comes into this
send it back 2 year warranty with nokia might aswel make most of it since u paid a bomb load already

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Oh but don't forget...the N900 is only a phone SECOND!

mhm!

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

This community is just becoming a place to vent their complaints, what has happened to the community. I bet it wasn't like this with just the first internet tablet users using it.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Dude how old are you? How could you not know that the only thing that work in rotate is the Phone. They stated it on their pre-release information man. If you are suffering from "ID-10-T" syndrome then you can ask a doctor to fix you up with some google medicine. Beside the device is not suite for you, since you don't even know how to operate it or learn how to use it well.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Thanks for speaking out. They all think i'm crazy here.

This model is really undeveloped.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

First of all Nokia N900 is not class as a PHONE. Read Nokia Claimed. It is an Internet Tablet Device with Phone Functionality added.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Old enough " DUDE ". Be nice with your comments.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Maybe the signal-to-noise ratio here would improve if we just go ahead and create an "N900 sucks" subforum...

:rolleyes:

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

But why add faulty phone functionality
The only reason I and other fellow mobile phone users decided to go with the n900

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

That would work :) I hope NOKIA people read it as well.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Maybe the N900 is too complicated for you get an iphone instead

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

That would be an improvement over the current topic. It would at least be a complete sentence.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

from where you bought yours??

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Why is there so much hate on this forum
i swear down this is a place of discussion not a keboard gangsta session
some people get offended like they are the creators of the N900

JD2010
if people wanted the iphone they would have got one like me i wanted it at first but when i found about nokia's n900 i wanted it because it is a Nokia and i have always had a nokia.
Brand loyalty always helps sales.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Every device I have ever bought right when it's been released has been buggy has hell. However, I have been using my n900 since Monday and I haven't noticed that many, but then again I bought it to be a Internet Tablet with a phone feature in it; Not a phone with Internet Tablet functionality in it. See the difference?

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

From nokia store

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

yea, these threads drive me apeshit. like im about to go full flame on and begin verbal tormenting. i completely agree with you.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

I am sure at least some of the "hate" is caused by the frustration from waiting for your device while reading the complaints of poorly informed people unable to appreciate their luck.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

i no but its good one way
Everyones facing problems with the n900
imma make a checklist to check my device
hope it is all good

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Just got mine today and have been playing with it for an 2 hours. So far this phone is A-FREAKIN-MAZING!

First impression is the phone is solidly constructed, screen is beautiful, space bar placement will take some getting used to but the keyboard feels great. The OS is snappy I have had zero hangups, crashes or even lag. I recorded video, listened to music, made a 30 minute call, kicked out around 20 messages and outputted to the TV. Very slick device.

Now if no one minds too much I am going to go play with my new toy. PS - I also have a Palm Pre, Google G1, MyTouch 3g and a Touch Pro 2. This phone so far has nothing to envy out of any of those phones on first few hours usage.

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

That's how my Motorola phone works. I thought that was the norm. No? I guess it would be nice if it could be made to work either way; but no ring if it's on bluetooth, well, is that the norm or is my Motorola abnormal too?

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Ever heard of Mike Cane?

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

N97 over N900 holly molly are those prescription drugs or .....
sorry i could not help my self.

if you leave your bluetooth on may as well sleep with it

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

There was a story on NPR the other day that reported a recent study of cellphone users that found the majority would rather text than talk, and that a 70 word voicemail took about 2 minutes to listen to but only 30 seconds to read.

Voice is so 1876...

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

and how long to type 70 words on an n900?

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

Well seeing as this is the forum for the people who wrote a lot of the software for the N900 I wouldn't be surprised if they sometimes react strongly to someone saying the product is ****.

It's all about the tone of the conversation, I think everyone understands that you can get very mad when you spend lots of money on something that doesn't work like you expected it. But also, going to the people who made it, saying that it sucks and you don't want it anymore and then expecting a slew of understanding condolences might be a tad optimistic.

How about we look at this a bit more positively. Apparently there are issues with the bluetooth functionality. Has anyone created a bug report for this?

EDIT: wow this forum actually cancels out bad words automatically... technology is so cool!

Re: Nokia n900 horrible!
 

... but how many text messages back and forth to complete a conversation? My wife texts more than talk - but sometimes she can be texting for 15 minutes getting annoying that it takes that time when a 30 second 2-way phonecall would have solved the problem. And been cheaper.
