Hi, just joined today but have been reading comments and reviews since own my N900 for a couples of weeks. This by far is my favorite phone right now. The capability of this phone and its open source is great.

I used WM prior to this and once I saw it advertise back in Nov. I knew I had to have this. Loved everything about it. The ability to multitask, dl, and web browsing is great. Just wish nokia can added portrait mode to web and text. And when I mean web in portrait I mean acutally use all the landscape features not just reading and clicking links. Landscape is nice but entering text on web and texting with one hand is difficult.

Hello Folks,

Just bought N900 a month a go. I just would like to say thanks for those who have time to post solutions of problems that I have until now :-).

N900 rocks !

I have post this somewhere else, but I'm not sure where I can get help and I need it!
I just received my Nokia N900 on March 18. I bought a screen protector and installed it right out of the box. I shopped for about 2 months and finally decided for this Mobile Computer/Smart Phone because of the amazing hardware features and its flexibility due to OS system. However, I've found a few flaws that have made me think of returning it and get something else.

With the N900 I wanted to replace the following:

3 Year old Samsung Blackjack i608 (FAIL - This phone has MMS and IM support without Internet connection needed)
3 year old Gateway M250 Laptop. (FAIL - TWO major issues: Flash Video and Streaming Audio via Internet)
4 Year old Sony Cybershot camera (PASS - Good Picture and Video)
4 Year old iAudio Multimedia Player (MP3,WMA, FM and Voice Recorder) (PASS - A couple of Apps needed but work very well).

And I wanted to acquire the following:

GPS (CHECK)
SIP Phone Capabilities (CHECK)
True Mobile Computer Capabilities (Fail)

May be my expectation was to high, but I read several reviews and decided for the N900. I really WANT TO LOVE the N900 BUT these two issues had got to me:

YOUTUBE freezes on ANY video after 10% streamed. Also, does the same at WatchMoviesOnline[dot]com. But it works well in tu.tv

Internet Radio that comes built-in the Media Player plays only about 20 seconds of ANY song and then freezes.

My internet connection (15Mbps download 5Mbps upload)

Do I have a bad unit? How can I fix these two issues?

I hope with MeeGo all these issues are resolved, including MMS and Flash 10 support. Thank you for reading.

Hi All,

Great website and forum.

I have been a Nokia fan for about 11 years now, I remember owning a 5570 the brick...over year Nokia phones kept me happy, online most of the times...till the time I got my N97 just 4 months back ....The phone design and concept was great...but not a great phone...one fine day my E drive was not accessible and I had to return th phone to the Nokia store....

Now, I got a N900 and its on its way home - Mumbai from New York as I write this ....Yes I got my phone from New York...even my N97...

So, my question is What are the draw backs of N900 and How can I overcome them, I am already a disappointed Nokia fan...And I hope N900 is better than the N97...

So suggestions and feedback on the phone would help me great...

Thanks,
Srini

Hello all, another newbie here, this one's called James and is from the UK

I'm a former iPhone user who was sick and tired of Apple's lack of vision w.r.t. flash etc., so I have decided to jump ship and order an N900 which should be arriving on Weds this week.

I'm completely new to Maemo as a concept - never even heard of it until the N900 (lol)

hello all been on talk for a while but just got my n900 so thought where better to post with my new favourite toy.
