Hello everyone!
I am very excited about this device and wish I was living in Germany or Italy to make a pre-order.
Can anyone please tell me if what I read about the MMS capabilities of the N900 are true? Meaning that it is not able to send them?

Thank you so much!

As far as I know since Maemo 5 is pure cutting-edge technology it is incompatible with that "old school technology"

Matter of quoting a source (yourself) with reference.

Lots of great feedback in this thread. I wish I had time to reply to each message individually!

I'm not completely opposed to the N900. If I test the device and find the browser/resistive touch/thickness to be a minor issue, I will certainly look upon the device more favourably -- the specs are [otherwise] fantastic, and the software looks promising.

The 'track-record' has become a major concern for me, as this morning my less-than-a-year-old N810 has been caught in a reboot cycle. I suppose it wouldn't be such a major deal, but I use this unit for business, had the latest os flashed, and was expecting much higher levels of reliability. As it stands I am without phone and must sacrifice a part of my working day to rectify the situation (reflash, and potentially rebuild my on-device information).

I've had other major (to me) issues before as well:

I had to root into the fs to clear away some bluez files so that my BT keyboard would again connect after connecting it to another device. Considering I had no experience doing this, it took me more time than I would have liked to spend.

There is no sound transmitted via the mic if RTComm answers a call and the app is not open. This means, that I have to leave the app minimized at all times, or cannot answer calls and have the caller hear what I'm saying. If I open too many apps, RTComm sleeps and the problem arises. Thus I am limited to one or two apps at any given time.

Which brings me to the issue of timing. This has become much more prominant than my hardware concerns. Here's why:

1) I don't have the cash or desire to buy multiple devices.
2) I am in the market for a new device and will be choosing one based upon my needs (business and personal).
3) This is a business device for me, rather than a leisure device. I don't have the time (or more accurately, I'm not willing to sacrifice the time) to play around with hardware to get it working. I require any device it to work well, out-of-the-box, and to continue to work with minimal effort.
4) There are attractive alternatives on or coming to the market.

Of course the N900 may very well fit into this category, but as I need a new device soon, I must take a wait-and-see with the Maemo N900 to see if it does. In other words, I'd feel more comfortable with more mature software or positive reports given reasonable time.

I love you all and will continue rooting for Maemo and Nokia. If things go well, I'm sure I'll find myself with a Maemo device. I'm certainly aligned with the vision. Of course, for the time being, I can't risk taking a chance on the N900 even if I over-looked the thickness, resistive-touch, and browser.


YARR!

I agree, and I don't think posting one link is spam. Don't like it, don't click - and don't post pissy comments about it QWERTY and others.

It's spam when your first post is a link to advertise one's site when you could just as easily post the stuff here, in a thread designated for the topic.

And, please, do us all a favour and don't post any comments of any sort, in any thread. Thanks.

Could someone comment or maybe did I post in a wrong thread?

You must be doing something wrong because it always works 100% fine for me. I can answer calls without an issue without the app open.

Could be, however there are not many settings to get wrong with the app.

I have suspected that my SIP provider's setup (link2voip) may contribute to this issue. I'll be setting up my own freeswitch server (recommended over asterisk), and hopefully this issue will disappear. Since link2voip is a reseller service, it'll also give me the opportunity to hand-roll some fancy-schmancy phone features.

A strange bug to be sure. Any suggestions?

YARR!
