Very tempting ... but N900 cannot do video call (yet)? ... :S

Yup, some games/videos consume quite a lot of resource/memory, you need to change the quality to lower quality, while some is simply too lag. Old or more simple games should work great. The games and videos I show are all very very old already haha but they're great ones and nicely done.

Flash 10 is said to optimize the GPU, not sure what difference will it make on the N900. If there's much improvement, possibly can play Cafe World on FB; currently it will hang the mozilla browser most probably due to too much resource consumption.

For those interested and didn't know, you can actually download the SWF files, you can put into your N900 or micro sd and play it offline with your phone anytime. Though some flash files the developer put in some controls to make sure the flash files is execute from certain websites or so.

How nice if the N900 is pack with 1Ghz processor and true 512MB ram or even better 1GB ram
(current ram is 256MB + 768 (virtual memory))
When the ram or processor is used up, the phone will lag or slow to response; the processor is quite often showing 100%.

Read that the rumoured HTC HD3 will have 4.5" screen, 1.5Ghz snapdragon...
But... also read that the new Windows Phone OS will not have multi-tasking?

winmo 7 cant copy and paste also
N900 FTW!

can come to me, today price 1930..

Thx man !
1 more thing im not sure. Does it has GPS? And i keep seeing ppl comment that there isnt video calls stuff. Will it be updated?

window 7 cannot do multi task n copy paste

initial reveal but mayb they update it prior to release

another Mee-NO-go

This is the same old stuff, same source. Nothing is confirmed yet, and it's been mentioned many times.

Anyway, check out official MeeGo website, they're using N900 in the main page picture itself.

Of course, there's still no confirmation whether it will be officially available for the N900 in the future.


GPS yes of course. There're also Infra Red (which many devices do not have, long forgotten features) and also FM Transmitter (another cool feature).

Currently the phone functionality is very very basic; You can't even assign ringing tone to individual contacts, no contacts grouping, etc. It's very basic phone function, basically it's an Internet Tablet (think laptop with touchscreen; hence Tablet) with "added" phone functionality.
These are softwares issue, sure it can be improve and updated. As long as it is not missing the hardware (e.g. camera).

Wow! tats a relieve. Im just afraid that i will regret after buying the phone for reasons like it doesnt worth it value or cant keep up with the latest crucial functions.

N900 can do copy and paste? for examples, highlight and copy text from the browser?

Can...just use the mouse pointer mode in browser to highlight and ctrl+c n ctrl+v like in pc

possible next 2-3 mth gua...
must drop fast...

Price drop for N900 so fast?
OK .... I will wait .... also need to wait till it got video call!

i'm waiting for new iphone,,
then i'll decide,, iphone or n900,,
but n900 vs iphone 3gs for me, i'll take N900!

Every phone have their up and down. NOKIA touch screen still need to improve bcos market out there is damn fast advance if not they will lose the share then.

CHANGE LOG?!

video call coming in next update!?

When new iPhone launch, N900 is long outdated, lol; You might want to consider MeeGo devices VS Android 3.X (or higher) devices VS iPhone.

Anyway, actually for now, so many phone has already beaten the iPhone. When iPhone first launch, no doubt, it was a "WOW!!!!!" and really make a BIG difference to the smartphone market, like a big difference in technology. But then, think again, iPhone 2G -> iPhone 3G -> iPhone 3GS, actually it's like minor/small updates, nothing exciting and more like squeezing people's money. Imagine bought 2G, then come out 3G, the SAME THING just with 3G, then 3GS, again like a small "facelift" model with some improvements. All this I call rubbish, pardon me.
They should drop and come out with TOTALLY NEW and again WOW the market, not keep doing minor updates,... (e.g. 3GSS? 3GX?)
And another major problem with iPhone... the battery!!! Try watch YouTube and see how risky and hard it is to change the battery, it's really stewpid and totally unfair to do this to the consumers.
Another thing is that it is very very "CLOSE" or very "restricted" device, and tell the truth, would you not want to jailbreak it?

Now, I think the Android devices are moving really fast, and the community support and participation is superb. They even have overclock Moto Milestone processor! And the apps and games are coming up like crazy and fast, not to mentioned great ones. In Malaysia, probably it's less well known to the public as many might not be tech conscious and many are brand conscious, but I think with Sony brand bringing in Xperia X10, that would make a difference.
Besides, seems some Android devices already have flash support!

Added on March 19, 2010, 11:05 amActually, for now, many app is simply ported to N900~ Which makes it even faster.

We have PSX emulator, N64 Emulator, in the works.

PicoDrive ported (Sega Megadrive Emu)
SNES
GBA
GB

There's also other apps from older Maemo ported to Maemo5, and so on.

But I think the issue now is... the next major updated which will sort of change the structure of current Maemo OS? Wonder what will happen to all those apps currently available.

I think there're many apps/games ready for the next update, we just need to wait for the next major update to be released...
Oh darn! It's been so long....
