Oh yeah. Hopefully this will be subsidized by Tmobile here is USA. May get the wife one to, and laugh as she tries to figure it out. She's just getting the hang of an Iphone. LOL. I love the possibilities of this thing. Reminds me of my Sony UX's with the keyboard but lighter and smaller.

I use my N800 ALOT. So I keep a charger/supply in my car, a battery in a charger at work, and a battery in a charger at home.

Pinch? It's double tap too. You should use/know your enemy

Apparently it won't support 3G in Canada. So now I'm completely conflicted. I must have this device, but I don't want to move to the states to make it work...

yup, im getting it..i mean..im almost certain...
the thing is that i have a N70... i have it more than 3,5yrs now...and its dieing...camera doesn't work anymore, ringtones don't work, battery life is short... not that i couldn't stand it you know...the phone itself still works fine... but i seriously now need a new one... thing with me is, i buy a new phone only when the old one dies...so overall this is only my 5th phone (i take care of them lol..I had: Alcatel One Touch Club DB -> Siemens C35 -> Nokia 3650 -> Nokia N-Gage -> Nokia N70)... i wanted to get a N95 when it came out... then the N95 8GB...then the N96...then the iPhone...then the iPhone 3G...then LG Arena...then 5800XpressMusic...then N97...now i want N900 lol.. i dont need games anymore (although i will be happy for them)...for me priority now is how effective the UI is...and Maemo 5 is great...i followed the N900 all along..watched every video..read every article.. it has all i want and need.... apart from one thing which descriptions vary..some say it has a magnetometer (when you use maps and move, the map rotates with you), some say it doesnt...same with FM transmitter...we shall see..and about no portrait mode.. i had N-Gage, so yea..im used to it..not to mention i have a PSP... although i will be pleased if Nokia adds SMS function to the portrait mode..that shouldnt be a problem...so, the only thing im worrying now is battery life...hopefully it will be fine... so yea, for me its a 90% YES BUY... hopefully day1...

For me N900 is not appropriate because I use Xournal and Maemopad+ a lot. I think I am going to wait for N820.

On the other hand I would recommend N900 to my friends if I knew that free OS (i.e. Mer) could be installed on the device.

Too early to tell and besides I doubt that it'll be coming to verizon for me to consider it

I've used the iPhone quite a bit (every single release, even), and don't much care for it.

Either way, MicroB has double-tap, too, so there's not much point discussing it.

I'll buy it if the local nokia suplier will have it. So far the only info I got from them is: It will be released to select markets on october 1st and the local nokia website doesn't have it on page yet

I'll probably give it a test drive first and read some reviews. If it's really really really appaling then I might go for a n810 and get some minimal phone for the rest.

OK, word-eating time. It's now available for preorder on nokiausa.com at $649 -- still a sight less than the accurate conversion of the Europe price, but definitely higher than I expected.
