Question Re: OPK: N900 deliveries have now started!!

BTW store.nokia.com (http://store.nokia.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdetail_10500_10101_-1_10000367) is showing it in stock and no longer a preorder. Maybe a good sign?

Re: Cheapest Plan for N900 WITHOUT Internet?

Another vote for TMO's prepaid. If you don't already have a TMO sim card I'd grab their $20 Nokia 1208 prepaid from Walmart instead of $15 for just a sim card and a $100 card. The $100 card will get...

Re: N900 vs. Motorola Droid (Verizon Android device)

The N900 just isn't for everyone nor should it be. IMO Android can offer a good solution to some folk that are average (non-power users) people looking for a good and simple smartphone. As for...

Re: Which version of Ubuntu for a mini-laptop?

IMO go with Ubuntu Netbook Remix. It's well supported, stable and in active development from Canonical. With that said I'd download both and run them in an emulator [on your PC] or off an 1G SD card...

Re: Did Your N900 Ship Today?

I'm sure you're just kidding but they might have a good reason not to ship to or release* from distributors yet. A minor bug in a new device can put a serious damper on its future prospects. While...

Re: N900 vs. Motorola Droid (Verizon Android device)

Pros [of the Droid on Verizon]:
1. Greater higher speed data network access than (most likely) anyone else in the US. Verizon has great coverage. This is a huge pro for some folks but IMO overrated...

Article "Can the Cellphone Help End Global Poverty?" (NY Times 2008-04)

Although the article "Can the Cellphone Help End Global Poverty?" is a year old IMO it's still worth reading. The New York Times for the NY Times Magazine did a profile article about Nokia researcher...

Re: Two extensive previews of N900 prototype

That review Michal Jerz did ( http://my-symbian.com/other/preview_n900.php ) was pretty thorough. Good stuff and well work reading.

Fake N900: so bad it's funny

It's a fake N85 or N95 with a "N900" label instead and with the added features of analog (yes, analog) TV, a 320x240 screen and S60. Also no 3G, wifi or keyboard. It's so bad it's pretty funny except...

Re: N900 FM Receiver.

We have a software controlled FM receiver, a mostly persistent IP connection and Python on a phone. We can do some really creative things. Time shifting with speed and pitch correction, scanner,...

Re: N900 FM Receiver.

I must of been typing while you posted. IMO setting up a DVR style program wouldn't be that bad. My guess would be to write the audio from the FM radio to an audio file (via a hidden command line...

Re: N900 FM Receiver.

My guess is someone will write something pretty quick if the driver is functional. It's too attractive too ignore.

An app that routed a live FM signal through a buffer to allow DVR-like control...

Re: When can I buy this from a store in the US?!

Who knows? A few folks that aren't talking. Supposedly on 09-14 a distributor showed that the N900 would arrive in stores on 09-27 (1). That should mean preorders from Nokiausa would sent out to...
