What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
I've been thinking recently ..
My N900 Battery keeps getting worse (had It pretty much since it came out).. I have to charge it every night even if I don't use it much .. (If i forget it goes from ~50% to switching off just over night sometimes .. So I've been looking around .. N9? .. rather hard to get here N950 ? ... even more difficult to get some Android phone? Currently been thinking .. the Samsung note with the pressure sensitive Pen sounds nice - it is "huge" compared to most phones, but I don't mind that that much .. (Windows Phone or iPhones are out of the question for me ^^ ) Currently I'm prolly mostly in favour of the Samsung Galaxy Note due to the fact it has a pen (I like that I can write/doodle more accurately -- e.g. on a Kanji recognition software since I'm learning japanese , ...) That made me wonder .. which phone are other Maemo fans getting after the N900 ? |

As I mentioned elsewhere, I've recently 'replaced' my N900 with a Samsung Galaxy SII which seems to fulfil my day to day needs based on a couple of day's usage.
Having said that, my N900 will still get used at home with the sim removed. It works fine as a Skype phone/ssh client to my home PCs/etc. (Basically, the same kind of functionality & usage as earlier Nokia internet tablets.) As a bonus, the battery seems to last ages with no sim! |

My path after n900.
Desire s --> SE ARC --> nokia n9 --> SG Note and my next phones probably be the first Tizen phone. I'm still using my n900. |
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
n9 is still the best phone to get after n900
perhaps lumia phone only if nokia changed the tiles and metro to swipe ui. hence large screen in smaller body. tizen and webos phones, and iphone are not too bad! |
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
yeh i recommend gs2 or new sony ericsson xperia S unless u need hardware keyboard or fm transmitter.
fm transmitter never gotta reach nokia phones again. |
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
ofcourse another N900, It would be too boring and an injustice to get anything else other than this lovely machine once again.

Why should the N9 be hard to get in Austria? It was one of the countries where Nokia originally released it. Even it is no more available from the operators (after three months, which is sad), you should get it from every good webstore. If unsure, just order it from amazon.de |
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
Next phone (best to worst):
1- Maemo (another N900) 2- Android (NOTE, Gnex, Captivate Glide, Atrix, SGSII, EPIC 4G) 3- iOS (iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS) 4- Niche (Nokia N9) 5- Windows Phail 7.5 (TiTAN II, TiTan, Arrive, Lumia 900) 6- Alternative (Wave 3, BB Torch, Pre3, N8, E7) |

But i once bought a zte blade, which i later gave to a friend since i found out that i really hated android and bouht a second N900 instead, but i kept the charger from it which is extremly small, and which i always bring with me in my pocket. Unfoutunately, there wont be a worthy replacement for the n900 before Kubuntu, plasma, windows xp or something similar gets onto a decent gsm/4G-hardware.And that will probably thake a while ;( |

"Problem" is that I like to use the pen with my N900. the N9 doesn't have a pen anymore and - correct me if I'm wrong- is finger optimized and won'T work well with pens -- or does it? Having looked at a Samsung Note in a shop I do like the feel of it - unfortunately it was one of those without battery so you can'T bu tit on but whatever - and the fact it has a pressure sensitive pen! now If that could run Maemo or Meego .. hmm that would be cool |
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
Ask yourself - Is your phone a tool or a toy ?
Because when the "hardcore" speak, many treat theirs as a toy for recreational tinkering rather then for functionality - hence insistence on full open source. Face it - unless you are a sysadmin of some type or work in unix env full time (and some do on here), terminal and FOSS is not going to increase your productivity. if your phone is a tool, then there are a myriad of phones out there for you. You dont have to love your tool, as long as it does its job, who gives a flying fvck whether its open or not. |

Seeing that quick drop of availability of the N9 (in Australia Vodafone also doesn't offer it anymore after three months), I decided to buy me a second unlocked N9 to be safe. |

Apart from that I am thinking along the lines of .. should I really be giving a company, that didn't just screw over the Community once but does it again with a new product (with it having been clear quite a while before the N9 was even out, that it will be the *first and last* MeeGo phone), money or rather try out something different.. |

So for me it does make a difference ;) Which is why I haven'T gone out and bought an Android device so far. I'm gonna try some battery saving tips from the forums here and/or maybe get a battery off ebay (but who knows how long those last ..) - if everything else fails and I "have to" retire my N900 (at least as a phone - I'd keep it as internet tablet and as FCamera cam ;)) |
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
vote for upgrading n900 hardware, :D
|
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
One more N900
or Something Powered By Ti OMAP 5 series :) |
Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
I do wonder if you could put maemo/meego on a Samsung Galaxy note as I really like the hardware from what I've seen ;)

I can root the device and use different kernel,.. I'm sure it is *technically possible* - but most likely not feasable - to get maemo/meego running ;) |

I keep an extra battery on my wallet all the time. It has saved me a few times. Definitely a good thing to have. And it is fun to change your battery when iPhone users are watching. ;)

Re: What phone are you going to get after the N900 ??
I would feel wrong giving Nokia any further business, after the way they've treated the n900.
And i couldn't stand owning anything with windows on it. I think my choice of next phone is going to be largely based on quality of camera. |

To the OP: If you like the N900, and it's just the battery giving you an issue, buy another battery. I went through 3 batteries with my N6230 in the 5 years I used it. New batteries can be had on-line for quite cheep, there's a thread on here about ones that have better capacity than the stock one even. If you're looking to hop phones, I doubt you'll find one like the N900. It's pretty unique in what it is and what it can do. When you do go... are you going to sell your old N900? I'm sure some folks here would love to buy a spare. ;) |
