Welcome, bbin, I think most of this forum's members are gaget freaks, or at least geeks.

With the upcoming use of WIFI in India, people have started using the internet tablets too. This makes me come here.
Nokia's doing a gr8 job when it comes to maemo devices.
Future seems brighter for maemo. Soon more and more utility based apps might come up!!
All my queries are answered to.
Thanks to all wonderfull people.

Best regards,

Welcome, Avnee, I only use WiFi. Have it at work, at home, and my city where I live has free WiFi throughout the whole city.

Welcome, Jucato, nice to hear from the Phillippines!

If the N900 will prove open enough to use it reliably as a phone under Mer, I'll be happy to buy one as well. This is part of why I'm trying to get Ofono to run on Mer on the Freerunner at the moment
I also have some experience with image processing, so I'm also interested in mobile augmented reality and the such.

I just signed up last night... currently have an iPhone 3GS on at&t but preordered the N900 in anticipation of a switch back to T-Mobile. I've just hit a wall with the closed-platform nature of the iPhone. Looking forward to developing/port apps to Maemo

Welcome, Hypnotik, to the forum. I was hoping I could use an N900 with Verizon carrier. T-mobile has terrible coverage where I live.

Yeah... here in NYC t-mobile actually has pretty decent coverage while at&t's network is collapsing from the number of iphones. my friends using the G1 report no problems with their 3g speed

Hi guys!

I still use an N82 and waited quite a bit for a worthy successor. The Iphone does some things really great but since the majority of people don't care for multitasking, openness or high resolution, apple does neither. Android seems way cooler in most respects but I won't wait another year for an Android device with decent specs. Now along comes Nokia, finally abandoning their Symbian-only phones stubornness. It's still unclear to me whether or not the N900 will feature an electronic compass which is mandatory for augmented reality. I guess AR will become a bigger topic in the near future - at least for wow-effect if not for practical value. Obviously a bunch of other potential buyers are anxiously awaiting an official confirmation. I could live without capacitive display and fm-receiving functionality and hope for prosperous application development/adaptation from linux but I could not justify shelling out 600 euros knowing that AR won't happen on the N900.

Cool forum, anyway! If i finally opt for the N900 and if studying computer science (which I just enrolled in) will help me with the geekier possibilites the device offers, I look forward to spend some time in this forum.
