What model car are you driving?
I've heard other people mention weaker signals in their cars. I'm thinking because I have a very no-frills vehicle (standard Jeep, about as basic and rugged as one can get) it probably has very little things installed in it that may shield or interfere with the signal. It's just a theory of mine, as it is incredibly clear in a Wrangler.

Possibly the car antenna situated at the back of the vehicle making your signal better the further back you place your device.
Perhaps placing the external car antenna down while trying to connect?
Also some dashboards are laced with steel frame lower down so possibly interfering with those if car audio unit lower down center console.
Also different/more expensive units being better shielded against interference from the devices like the device you are actually trying to connect.
Well thats good that i can actually contribute something as ive been a mechanic for 16 years. Make up for the lack of knowledge of linux lol.
I'll hope to try it out myself when i finally get mine delivered.

A casual look at talk.maemo.org really makes you wonder if the N900 is 'buggy', why did Nokia release it so early .. ?
Thankyou to all those who have reported here that their N900 is fully working ... it gives the rest of us a lot of hope
btw, this thread should really be renamed to 'The N900 Appreciation Thread'

Just got two N900 from Nokia USA (delivery time 2 days!). Phone seems to work flawlessly, I am overwhelmed with its features, even though I was reading Maemo threads daily for weeks.
Looking forward to more Apps, more features, simply: MORE OF ALL.

Love it. Full stop. Best phone I've ever owned, even with its quirks.

Same here. Love this little pocket computer. I don't even use my Macbook Pro (work pc) at home anymore. N900 is my new PC. I only have a small issue with volume rocker' it doesn't seem to click when pressed on left side, but still functions properly. Skype with dial-in/out and Google Voice on top of that is a dream come true. I don't even have cell service on the N900 and I can still make and take phone calls. Now they just have to tie in the VGA front camera for video calls and this device can't be beat. Super happy with it Nokia! Well worth the wait.

As I posted in another thread.. just got my N900 Friday afternoon. Been busy getting used to it and everything setup, installing apps etc. So far I can definitely say 2 things...
1. No problems at all. Yes, the mic works, totally stable, very fast.
2. In a nutshell, the most amazing piece of technology I've ever held in my hand.
IOW, I'm both very happy and totally rocked. The N900 is one cool tool. Makes an iPhone/OS-X or an Android phone look like toys for boys.
Congratulations and many thanks to the Maemo community and Nokia for a truly revolutionary product.
