Well, after browsing this and other sites for the last month i decided that the n900 was the phone for me...i went to the NFS on Regent Street on tuesday and ordered it...can't believe i had to wait 3 whole days to get it!! ;-)....
Been playing with it since yesterday nearly non stop and i have to say that it's absolutely superb - i love it. Battery life is fine if you follow the tips on this site somewhere, no reboots as yet and the mic works....very pleased, well done Nokia :-)

I did the same but it still plays that click sound

Edit: Reboot fixed it.

You go into profile scroll all the way down than turn off touch screen sounds. Very annoying sound.

Any of you guys having issues scrolling music in the music player? scrolling in pictures seems ok but when i scroll in music player everytime i touch the screen to flick it plays the song unintentionally.

how can i install yajhoo mess?

Does N900 have some firewall that could block the outgoing SIP calls voice and is there something I can do about it?
When I'm calling from SIP account (my operator Saunalahti Finland provides a service called Nettipuhelin), I can hear the other person just fine but he/she can't hear me. So could this be some proxy, firewall etc. related issue or what?

I'm using 3G and following settings:

Transport: UDP
Outbound proxy: voip.saunalahti.fi
Port: 5060
Discover public address: checked
Loose routing: checked
Keep-alive mechanism: Auto
Keep-alive period: Auto
STUN server: stun.saunalahti.fi
STUN port: 3478

I've also tried to leave STUN-settings empty, because Saunalahti recommended to do so (some possible NAT problems), but it didn't help.

Had the phone for a few days now and I can honestly say that it is actually lifechanging. Brilliant, brilliant device; more exciting than holding my N93 for the first time.

The UI is so damn slick its unbelievable. Fast, responsive, pretty intuitive really and - coming from Symbian - I'm loving the central application install and update hub as a Maemo newbie.

Being able to drag down info and pics from Facebook into contacts (Hermes) and have instant messaging/Skype directly in the phone book has been a boon as well. Although constantly being signed in to IM does hit battery life, I find that I stay logged out of IM but set Mail to check my E-mail every 10 minutes. Battery life lasts far longer this way.

Openarena is mindblowing with the pixel resolution and dotpitch of the N900 screen. So clear, the same goes for video.

The calendar is a stroke of genius; different colours for different gigs etc. As a media type, I work at several seperate studios so I can dedicate a different colour to each one. Slightly annoying that the PC Suite app is...well....a bit crap regarding this and not really N900 FULLY compatible. I'll live.

I'm loving the homescreens, widgets and, even though its a beta, having the Firefox logo on there (I'm a label whore )

Seriously, if you don't have one yet, get the damn thing. Its gorgeous.

HAVE LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had the n900 a day or so now and wanted to share my first impressions of it. Overall though I'm loving the device, yes it does feel a little unfinished in places, particularly the UI navigation, but I expected that and came into buying it with my eyes open.

Ok, what's cool about the n900:

The standard stuff: all the stuff people have been raving about in this thread such as the browser, the multitasking, the screen, the video codec support (played back a couple of ripped DVDs in .avi format and they played flawlessly)

Skype integration: this is freakin awesome, being able to switch seamlessly between SMS/Skype chat and between cellphone calls and voip calls is great, and it's all possible from within a person's contact page. And the quality of skype calls is very high, people couldn't really tell if the call was using data rather than voice. mind blowing stuff.

The keyboard: I've read some complaints about this in reviews, but I actually find it pretty easy to type on it. yes, the keys are pretty small and this does result in the odd misspress, but once you get used to them you can pick up some speed, the tactile feedback is great. I actually prefer this to the keyboard on my Nokia e90, which to be honest I always thought was a little too big. Hell, I'm posting this on the n900, so it can't be that bad

The app store: oh yeah, that's right, the one thing most 'professional' reviewers are soundind dire warnings about is a thing I love. maybe it's coming from a symbian phone where getting/finding apps was an expensive and tortuous business, having them free and on the phone is great, and some of them are extremely useful, particularly the applet for taking screenshots and Mastory for Wordpress, Blogger uploads.

And so much other stuff I don't have time to go into: the sharing integration on the camera, multiple desktops, contact fields.

Stuff I'm not so keen on:

Just a few things really. The music player is pretty basic, it doesn't handle playlists or album art very well. the UI navigation is still a bit confusing, intuitively I don't know how to get from one place in the UI to another and will often go somewhere I don't want to go first before getting to where I want to be. If that makes any sense at all!

But these are minor niggles, overall it's an awesome device and for those of you still waiting for it - yes I know it's a cliche - but it really is worth the wait.

Old news my friends

here are my comments on N900

Not happy yet - but the device has potential. But where is VPN (should be so easy on Debian)?
