Here's the video of the portrait mode using Qt4.6.




And this is the Qt4.6 apps running on different OS. Check out the performance on N95, woot~





Yup, capable if one knows how to use it and make use of it. It's a very powerful device.
But in terms of usability as a phone and/or heavy phone usage, it's not a good one yet, but it can be fixed with firmware updates as these are mainly the software issues. The problem is only the hardware part, such as the battery, but I think it's also pretty much a problem for many smartphones out there.


No problem bro. For Li-Ion and Li-Poly, you can charge it anytime, even if it's 90% full. Just try not to let it die off as it can shorten the life and also the performance.

Btw, at times, not sure what's wrong, the N900 might have some problems running in the background which you cannot see; You can notice the processor usage is high constantly (e.g. load-applet widget which will show the processor and ram usage on your desktop).
You can also use 'Conky', which will show you more details and the app which is running and consuming high usage.
During this time, you might notice your battery consumption is bad.
Simple solution: You can restart your device.
Other solution: Check the process id (PID) then use X Term to kill the process. If you're in doubt, just use the restart solution.

Qt is a programming language like Java, and same like Java it can be deploy everywhere. Thus as long as the OS support Qt library, it can run the apps. Qt4.6 is the version which can be supported by many OS.

N900 is also build upon Qt4, thus the nice looking UI/screen, buttons, progress bar, etc. Looks like Flash style. PR1.2 is said to have full Qt4.6 built in.

Please correct me if there's anything wrong with above statement.


Well, the blog itself is talking about the great Maemo, N900 and upcoming MeeGo. The problem comes from the comments from the users; mainly they're frustrated with the new OS which everyone fears Maemo5 will be forgotten and loose it's support.

As a longtime Nokia user, I don't think Nokia will stop supporting their old device, they might support less as time goes, but by that time, it's pretty much stable usually.
The future of N900 is still uncertain as Nokia said it's too early to tell if N900 can be upgraded to MeeGo; but I'm sure they won't just drop N900 away. Besides, with Qt4.6 as their emphasis, we can rest assure that many apps develop in Qt4.6 can install in MeeGo as well as Maemo5, even Symbian, WinMo, etc. They also don't want to the trouble have to port the apps to various OS right?

The main concern here is the support as currently Maemo5 is still not stable and needs a lot of improvements, still very new/young. Nokia also specifically mentioned they're pushing the updates for Maemo, hence, we already have 3 updates since the launch of the N900 (1 update being the major one) and with another upcoming major update .

Anyway, as I've mentioned previously, it really depends what you're looking for as your next phone. The best phone for Mr. A may not be the best phone for Mr. B. Think carefully what you really want for your next phone and make your decision. Personally, I don't find other phone attractive or outstanding, they all look pretty much the same. Maemo OS is like a totally different class, the Desktop idea/design is really unique and outstanding, you don't see this in other phones in the market, which makes it very unique and outstanding. The original theme and background (water splash) is also very creative and classy in design. The buttons, progress bars, media player main screen, music player timeline bars, all are very nice looking, like a Flash device; unlike others which looks plain and normal.
It's one of the kind OS with very nice UI design. Plus, N900 it's the only Maemo5 device in the market.

On the other hand, the Android is also nice in another way, but I find it quite like the iPhone OS in certain way, but a much better/improved version. There're unique features or attractive part of Android OS, and it's also one of the fastest updated OS, having already version 2.x and soon to v3? Plus, there're just soo many device options for Android OS out there. Depends how you look at it, it's good and also bad. Bad in terms of? Just like WinMo devices, one of it is, be prepared that your device gets outdated very quickly with more and more new device supporting Android and new better specs keep coming. The good thing still remains where you can still upgrade your OS to newer version, but the hardware specs is the one that can be fix.

what is the standard package?
AP by which company?

Guys, i just checked with Nokia centre at the Curve. The phone will only be launched in the 3rd week of March...and the price tag according to the sales girl is...

RM2999!

I think it is totally overpriced...

I was prepared to pay 2500 at the most...
