reacent wow was, i was in a club with a friend having just taken a photo of him and a girl, he wanted me to bluetooth it to his awefull phone, so i did. of course his phone coudlnt display it, i guessed the res was too high, so i opened up the photo hit edit, reduced the size to 25% saved the picture as a seperate file and wizzed it over to him again, bingo worked striaght away for him

i was very impressed

the way it handles multiple applications and thank god a fone with Firefox

I'm sure its been mentioned before, but simply the email. I have it connected to my IMAP server and thus far its been flawless. I've been able to read e-mails, reply and everything that I could from a regular e-mail client. I've had the other Nokia N series maemo devices and none ever worked as well as this. I feel like in one leap I bounded past all the Blackberries and iPhones and have a real phone that works and does everything I want.

The camera is also pretty amazing. Some people have commented how the phone doesn't do MMS. I simply took a picture, popped up an e-mail to my contact, attached the picture and off it went. I saw it still sitting in my outbox so I just put the phone down and went on to other stuff. Sure enough after about 10 mins (the phone is on AT&T, no 3G) the picture had been sent.

With each new app that comes out for the phone I'm more amazed. Right now its already everything I need (ok, maybe some better GPS maps, but maemo-mapper will be out of alpha soon I'm sure!) and having new apps just makes it all the more enhanced!

Getting Truecrypt to read a NTFS container file on a CIFS (Samba) server. ;-)

Though VNC to another computer was very cool.

Now all I need to do is get KeepassX working, and I'll be a happy camper.

I was using keepassx via easy debian, but a port just showed up in extras-devel. works great.

The very first thing I've done to my N900 was installing the openssh server and setting 'authorized_keys'. No need to set up a silly and slow bluetooth connection on my laptop (or every computer I wish to transfer files from) anymore. Simply scp'ed my files to the N900 -> wow.

How do i right click while browsing?

Press and hold on the screen for a few seconds.

The MMS function is not something I use often, but the times I need it, it is an abselute must, and it can not be replaced by e-mail. I hope this will be fixed soon.

I am used to carry around two devices, a phone and the N800. This is OK. But to carry two phones because one lacks MMS, is just too stupid.

Anyway, the largest wow-factor is still the reboot issue (a big negative WOW). But Nokia seems to be handling this in a exemplary manner, and this is a smallish wow-factor on the positive side.

On the positive side, the wow factor is the browser, and the general ease of use. Also the multitasking is a big WOW, especially the way it is implemented in the UI. This is the way all smartphones should be.

Thanks rash. I tried and got three options when i hold the screen. I logged into my companys web version of instant messenger in n900. To send an instant message to a contact, I need to either double click on the contact name or right click on contact name and click on send message option - which is what happens on normal PC browser. Both doesnt work in n900. Is there a way to do this in n900?
