If there's anybody from US having the device, is there any chance that the charger might support 100-240V range? I know there are some chargers, including the one I have for E90 that supports from 100-240V. I know there's a difference on the plugs, I'm referring to the voltage only. Thanks

I'm pretty sure that all Nokia Device now range from 100V-240v support. It became standardize already since people traveling alot and its convenient to have a range of support voltages.

All the switch-mode Nokia chargers are 100-240v. The last ones that weren't were the non-switch-mode, cube-shaped, heavy chargers (heavy due to the larger transformer needed for non-switch-mode chargers). The narrow, small, lightweight ones are switchmode chargers. These are much easier to make multi-voltage than the old ones, so they all are.

it is possible but you have to open it up, which void your warranty. Beside no keyboard for sell lol. You will have to buy the region you believe that its the right one for u.

Talking about hardware: No idea - probably will lose your warranty.
Talking about software: You can easily switch your hardware keyboard layout in the "Text Input" settings.

Hmmm these specs...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900
seem to suggest it won't work with Telstra's UMTS-based 3G network; which has a band of 850Mhz.

It should work with other Aussie carriers for both GSM & 3G.

UMTS 900/1700/2100
WCDMA 384/384 kbps DL/UL
HSPA 10/2 Mbps DL/UL

And my carrier supports
3G: 900/2100MHz
GSM: 900/1800

This means that it should work in Australia without a problem do I need to be concerned about HSPA? Or is that a global standard?

Whoah… I don’t visit the forums for a few days and I get a heap of replies!

Mobile phones are usually more expensive here, in fact, everything is more expensive here. but this time we were lucky!

here's a picture of the label.
thanks for the picture! I’ll (hopefully) be visiting Abu Dhabi at the end of this month, so I’ll be getting a N900 then. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to Isa Town to make the purchase though.

I noticed in another thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34977&page=4) that there is also a “UAE” version sold in the Middle East, besides the “Middle East – EU” version that you have. I don’t need the Arabic keyboard and language, so hopefully Nokia in Abu Dhabi will still have the regular version for me to pick up later this month

3) Scandinavian version has åäö, and other keyboard layouts have similar accented chars on separate keys, and up/down as secondary functions on left/right.
Awesome stuff. anyone have photos of these accented characters and secondary function buttons keyboard?

Hey jalyst – are you a fellow aussie? Yeah I noticed that too – Telstra uses the same 3G band as AT&T (if I’m not mistaken) but I needn’t worry about that, since I’m on one of the other networks thanks!

I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't seem that way.
I'm not using T$ but I'd like the option to....
