Let's see.
-I do not have bluetooth headset so I can't comment much on this one. Have you searched forums and maemo's bugzilla? From what manufacturer and model your headsets are. Also remember that there is quite many users using n900 happily with their bluetooth headsets.

- Have you calibrated your screen? I do not have this problem. Did you have this problem from day one?

- I do not have to tap play button many times to listen online radio. Once and it starts buffering and after a while it starts playing.

- N900 email client is horrible, but i do not have to wait for 2 minutes for mail (maybe 10 seconds most). People here say that nokia messaging is faster.

- RTFM and change phone apps settings.

- What you mean that you do not get app support? Try official support forum:

- Please tell more because actually you haven't told much.

First, why you thought that after you have find that it doesn't fullfill YOUR needs you have to come here and make pretty empty comments about why it sucks. Could you please try to describe and analyze with facts why it sucks. Now you are just ranting and it's just waste of everybody's time.

And about accepting. I know that quite many grown up people get nervous when someone just comes to comment movie, book, car or anything else by saying it sucks. "Normal" people expect that you make your point by analyzing and describing why something sucks so bad in your opinion.

You do not care about shares and you made thread with this title? As*clown of the year title might be actually yours!

Warning people and telling them about your experiences is good but dear god try to tell them why it didn't fit your needs. Do not rant. Nobody likes to listen when someone goes to monologue about bad experiences and keeps telling actually how they failed to use device and read manual.

The N900 doesn't suck for me but I understand that it may for other people. That is why I dont recommend it to my friends and family that are looking for a good cell phone. I have recommended my wifes HD2 or my daughters Nurons or my friends Iphones and all those other phones. I don't have a problem with recommending other devices or with anyones dissatisfaction. I recommend the N900 to techies who are less concerned with the smartphone aspeect and more concernd with the mobile computer aspect.

Example: I had 3 Samsung Memoirs, expecting the picture, video and audio to live up to the marketed hype. It didn't, FOR ME. 3 returns later, I am very cautious to buy Samsungs due to my horrible hardware experience. The phone may be fine for others though and I cant say it sucked, just my expectations were too high.

We all must feel like our money is well spent and only you know what will get you to that point. If I had an extra 350, I would buy it from you and give it to a friend who really wants one for mobile computing but is on a carrier budget.

My N900 upsets me with call glitches but oh well....that wasnt the main feature that I bought it for so all is well that ends well.

Guys, despite the thread title implying some 'serious' discussion it's just another whine post. We've been over this before many times. There's people who love the n900 and there's people who don't.

We can discuss for hours and prove people wrong about things that are not working on their phones, but in the end what's the gain? NONE.

Stop taking part in these pointless threads, enjoy your phone, or don't. Your call. There's better things to do out there than to discuss something completely non-constructive on maemo.org.

hcancelik dude, you need to read carefully so that you won't be disappointed.

Your statement "Don't talk like looser. America is not an developed country?". Well USA is indeed, a DEVELOPED country since she has reached her Apex. you are confusing the term DEVELOPing countries which are countries in the process of developing their economic base.

Nokia's created the smartphone market. All Symbian phones have set the benchmark for smartphones. I know for sure you have not owned a Nokia Symbian phone as you stated because you would known the true meaning of smartphone. Nokia never advertise the the N900 as a smartphone, but portable computing device (i.e MiD)


The USA did not even know what are smartphones until the iPhone was quoted to be a smartphone. And believe it or not the iPhone is still not a smartphone yet because it cannot provide some basic smartphone features which are standard in Nokia phones.

i.e. a short list

1)Multitasking
2) High resolution camera above 5 MP
3) Front camera for Video calling
4) Ability to transfer vcard, images, video or any files via bluetooth
5) Set an Alarm clock and turn off the phone, then phone will activate the alarm ontime while it is off and give you the option to turn on the phone
6) builtin SIP/VoIP capability in all E and N series phones to allow calling over the internet with bot WiFi and 3G
7) Fully integrated contacts with all form of telephony and social network.


The RIM/Blacberry definitively was not a smartphone it was just an email point to point to exchange messages device since the concept of SMS did not exist in USA because service providers in the USA did not have a network to perform the task until 2003. Now SMS ( so call TEXTing) is possible in USA, therefore RIM changed the market plan by trying to be a smartphone vendor in 2005. Check their phone specification you will see not until

USA for a DEVELOPED country still cannot provide 3G coverage. Only t-Mobile is trying to deply true UMTS WCDMA/3G capabilities. All the other carriers are just providing EDGE in steroid.


All Nokia phones can be paired and perform those exchanges and it is rudimentary in those devices.

Since you are in the USA, you should get a Verizon phone since it allows you to do one thing at the time and you can only use the phone in the USA. While you in the VZ store tell them an iPhone to go...


Since you have not been outside the USA, you would not have known people around the world buy any phone they want a CHOOSE the best service provider for their need. Unlike USA, you must select a provider, then select a phone from their lists a phone you are force to like. This is what USA call freedom of choice within the realm of the providers.

Indeed Nokia will not be strong in the USA because the providers require the subscriber to buy a phone in order to subscribe and lock you into 2 plus year contract. If the consumers are not smart enough to demand the ability to bring their own phone to simply get a SIM card from the providers to start using their personalized phone which may have been purchased anywhere in the world.


Face it dude, the USA is behind in the mobile phone market.


gianni_mar said best. The Nokia Phone are too smart for you and Gizmo/Nielson because you can only do one thing at a time.


The Nokia phone and a specially N900 rocks for free thinkers of the world !!!


Nokia is the Mercedes and BMW of the mobile phone market. A phone to fit every life style...

Dude when you want a smartphone you can get RIM/Blackberry or an iPhone. But when you need an intelligently designed mobile device you get a Nokia



This message was sent from a Nokia N900....

Then why did you link to a survey that is exclusively based on US data, and does not even mention the rest of the world (rest assured, Symbian is not 2% in a global view) ?

Nokia is a brand that caters to Third World Countries. Nokia can never compete in USA. the only phones Nokia can sell in USA are pennies.

the N900 experience that OP describes here is not in isolation. NOKIA have great hardware, but their software lags big time

Oh What BS

How are new perspective buyers supposed to know what are the downsides of the n900 if the negative points are not mentioned ?
