Yes welcome to back in time. We have fax machines, telephone and electrical wires above the surface and even use checks for payment!

We also have Bulgarian and Ukranian style housing over much of the south. Run down shacks "improved" with cardboard and plywood and backyards filled with rusty junk.

In the US of 2009 you can party like itīs the early 90īs somewhere in former soviet eastern Europe! Most of the natives of this developing country, having never been to the first world countries, will still proclaim to be best in the world. Suggest that theyīd learn something from the Canadians or the Europeans and listen to them huff and puff at the suggestion that they could learn something from foreigners.

Going back to subject, unfortunately the N900 does not currently have any sort of faxing ability. You might consider using a service like e-fax for that (efax.com). That way you can email a document, from the N900, to your efax "fax machine" and itīll spit out a fax at the recipient.
Yes we "developing Americans", where would we be...how about everyone else gives us back the "internet" and you guys can go back to "mail", you know the thing that goes into an envelope and a stamp goes in the right upper corner.

I loath how Europeans think all Americans are ignorant, self-righteous, self-involved, ethnocentric individualistic asstards, when I've met more Europeans who are so full of themselves it makes us "Americans" look like noobs in the category.
Everyone has something to learn from ALL societies - just because Europe has been around longer doesn't mean their isn't anything it can be taught and teach for that matter. If you don't like it here, just go back to Denmark or Iceland!?!?!?!?


Back to the topic though - Faxing isn't just used in US, it's used all over the world. A good 98% of the business cards I pick up when overseas when away on business ( Japan, Thailand, Sinagpore, Ireland, Scotland, UK ) have fax numbers on them, so I'm assuming faxes are still used in those "1st world countries."
