Sorry! Guess I'm grouchy about that. I always explore a new device with the manual open on my lap, so I'm not poking around trying to work out what to press next.

He explicitly said that the box did not contain a manual.

So? I haven't got a box. But I have the manual.

here is a real getting started video made by a official nokia channel Nokia conversations

Those are excellent. Thanks!

(I just noticed n900 distinguishes UK and US English. Another reason to love it!)

Thanks NvyUs those were excellent videos! it's so funny how those two were the best I've seen and there was no talking in them... some of these other guys that seem to have these "loner devices from nokia" need to take note. especially when they've had them for more than a day. Those two videos remind me of "NeonCherry" who had the best how to's for the N810, I only hope someone has the same for the N900 so the threads dnt get flooded with some what easy questions for folks who have been around but a bit hard for newbies....


here is some more videos from UMPC, they are of the fumble-some caliber

edit: whats with every body who reviews the device having mac's ( I noticed the apple keyboard in the back ground of the two good videos, lol... )

In this last and final video on the N900 they talk about the Media playback, and show us the different formats that it can & cant render... which I hope changes upon release. I also gets compared to the Arcos 5 and touch pro2 for browser, eBook reading, and all around mobile use and portability....
