hi,

I have ordered an N900 from amazon, I wanted to know if the N900 can do the following things out-of-the box

Send/Receive vCards or business cards.
Create contact groups and set different ringtones for each.
Send Receive music and pictures through bluetooth.
Sync with microsoft outlook for contacts and calendar entries.
Show received sms and missed calls on the home screen.

your answers will be highly appreciated :)

Wow, shouldn't you have done a little research before you bought the device? Just askin'....

Re: Basic questions about N900

Re: Basic questions about N900
 

i have done a lot of it.. but some places have different answers.. and many features can be added later too through apps and hacks so i wanted to know about those too :)

Not in the native state. You'll need to use the mycontacts app from one of the repos.

Re: Basic questions about N900
 

Yes to all except "Create contact groups and set different ringtones for each" A fairly new app called mycontacts will handle that but I haven't tested it myself. Search for a thread on it.

The N900 is very different to Symbian phones that have much fancier, more mature phone functions.

For some people it is, for some it isn't.
