Cheers guys...just thought I should put over my experience. The N900 just blows everything I've used away and the potential is awesome (and I've had an N80, N93, N95, N95 8Gb, Samsung i8510, i8910 HD, and iPhone - shudder-)

Regarding the resistive screen: I prefer being able to use the stylus at times to be honest, especially with this crazy high resolution! Call me old fashioned.

Just need to eek a bit more battery life, get the OVI store up, and solve a few niggles in the firmware; but this is the most stable initial firmware any of my Nokia's have ever had.

christexaport - thanks for the compliment...I studied for a degree and masters in music on the piano and violin at uni; so I guess I went into a semi-related performance industry lol

Did you enable the extras repository? It is included in application manager, but disabled by default:

* Go into the Application manager.
* Tap the menu -> Tools -> Application catalog...
* Double-tap maemo Extras.
* Uncheck Disabled.

The app name is fmradio, I believe.

"Extras" is the noob-safe repository,
"Extras-testing" is for the community people who want to test new apps, and
"Extras-devel" is only for truly adventurous experts



Note that the "ovi maps" versions between maemo and symbian don't correlate - they are completle different products at the moment. Future firmwares should make the maps experience less frustrating. but, I 'm afraid for a truly great map application the best bet would be a separate 3rd party app or a community application being ported.



This is upto google to create, since I believe google voice api is not open for developers.
Maemo Mapper is going to be ported, that is what people tell. It is supposed to be great, but have no experience, as I did not have NOkia for years.
