But notebook is heavy

Damn, this phone poison too much on me

too bad u cant put it in ur pocket.

I'm not habouring my hopes over this device. Previously n97 was a big hype until it came out. The utterly doggy interface really is a nuisance. & Some really regretted resulting in short ownership.

Processing spec wise, it's the same as 3gs but spots on a pagefile feature, which is useful if you're running a high mem software. n97 was used to be called the flagship of nokia, but then again it phailed. Thus they're quick to bounce back with a device similar to HTC hero. No bad in imitating but at the end of the day, it's about overall usage. We have seen HTC hero's application wise is good. both on input and features. What lacks in is the processing power (yes multi tasking needs a hefty juice).

Personally I think nokia did study their mistake and launch the phone around nations with haxor. Yes, hoping those geeks can crack the code or develop even more softwares thus unleashing it's potential. Don't get me wrong, Nokia has been developing robust & bullet proof phones all theses years. They are much lacking in terms of OS designing.

We've seen alot of phone tagged with a Iphone killer potential. However at the end of the day, not 1 has successfully pull down iphone. Why apple is capable of maintaining it's current status is it's solid backbone of software. This is one major criteria which most phone developers should emphasize on. WinMo might be a stone age OS, but out there there are tonnes of softwares to unleash the potential of the phone. Even my 5 year old antique PDA still capable of providing daily web & you tube usage.

Though it seems I'm all againts this new phone, I would still give credit on Nokia for moving forward. It's more like they've gear the design objective towards a pocket mobile computing. Which I think is excellent. No more Iphone killer motto. Just aim at what you're good at.

We will see Maemo to be a inferior to Andriod. However, Like I say, softwares are the key component in keeping the phone running. Thus I will still keep my fingers cross till the whole phone has been launched.

Nokia's been so hardworking lately.

They should chill.
I don't wanna change my month old 5800 XM.

they should , if not they'll be left out of the race

I don't think this phone is coming to malaysia. mini n97 and x6 are there on nokia.com.my website, but no trace of n900.

It will sure to come or else they'd be losing good profits to APers.

Tentatively the release date is October. So it's coming soon.

Just saw this , so the n900 is priced at £499 .. hmmm

alright
im getting this ... the thing im worried is the size of this thing..
and the weight..

The price is cheaper then expected. Thought will be RM3k+ above. But might come out same like N97 RRP RM2480. But the problem is, is it coming to Malaysia or not?

N97 is not as quite as bad as it seem...not to mention 2 mil units been sold since the last 3 months....if this rate goes on it will surpass the 17 mil record of N95 in no time...n the ui is not that bad too...i must agree that it is not for everyone....it either loves it or hating it to death
But yeah there is some points i had to agree there...the innards is quite outdated....n nokia oni do little to shoehorn touch interface onto s60v3...resulting in a quite annoying ui...n sullen the legendary reputation of s60 that already served millions of people worldwide

N900 is still a very promising device and hve lots of potential...I hve been following this device for already a long time n I hve to say its a beast...a full fledged desktop linux os in your pocket is still very drool worthy

I wouldn't say that maemo is inferior to android....each of its own hve their own speciality....but as i said earlier a full fledged desktop linux os in a pocketable form is very drool worthy...in terms of software yes android is still hving an advantage on this front....but in terms of raw power Maemo pawns android in no time...n if u wants u can also run android ON Maemo OS

Correct me if im wrong though...juz sharing my thoughts here

any news when will it launch here? cant wait for it...

i think will delay la the launch in Malaysia..

hmm mybe around early next year....europe r getting it in october n judging from the usual nokia pattern of releasing their phones...around early next year is most likely it....correct me if im wrong though

so long more???

then i think i'd get X2 ler..
