In the box:
- N900
- wiping cloth
- in-ear earphone
- usb cable
- charger
- a/v cable

Free gift:
- water drinking mug
- cheap nokia small bag/pouch

Price: RM 2280.00

Initial experience: First 10 minutes was awkard. This is my first smartphone. Previous phone was Nokia E51. But after that I feel comfortable using the touchscreen with either stylus or finger.

I picked up the phone around noon. They said before me already 15 people purchased their pre-order. About the DC-11 charger, they said they need to gather data (time of purchase) from all 4 outlet to know the first 300 pre-order that actually made purchase. Then only contact the winners.

is there any chinese input?

How do I check for that? My humble apologies, cause really new to smartphone.

need apps for chinese input, but then originally can display chinese character

SAY! HOW MANY N900 USER HERE NOW!? WEEEE! AWESONESS

Got mine from The Garden around 7pm.

I am not in the first 300 pre-order list. But the person said my name is in red color, mean that I stand a chance to get the charger if those people didn't pick up their phone. Worst case, I still will get a bluetooth headset.

Charging the beast now! Need to get a pouch and screen protector.

many apps or game for N900 or not? since it doesn't support multitouch...

I went to Pavilion to collect mine this afternoon, sadly they said I am not in the list, me and another 2 friends pre-ordered a week ago, our names are not in the list too. Too bad, we can't explore on N900 yet.

The disappointment has stopped us not to get the unit at the moment, the "hangat" already gone. I guess we will wait for the unit after pre-order.

go get AP dude..LOLLL

lol..just cos a gadget has multitouch automatically means it has more games?

LOL

they are selling at that price because they need to compete with those Android phones

Sorry to hear about that. 2 of my friends that pre-ordered a few days before me had the same story.

Even in my case, Nokia only send the confirmation email on Friday noon. Neither of my friends received the confirmation email.

My opinion its unfair to compare Maemo 5 to Iphone OS. First iphone been around since Iphone 2G 8GB thats like 3 to 4 years ago . Maemo 5 its like only few months old to US n European market and Malaysia its only 2days old. When Nokia S60 5th Edition on Symbian OS 9. was first launch it took few months for application and games to come out and look at it now so many choices and option.

Furthermore N900 are equipped with ARM Cortex-A8, up to 1GB of application memory, and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration so this phone can really go beyond your imagination sure give it some time.

i beg to differ. maemo OS has been in the market for quite somewhile (say 4 years?), I used to own the nokia N800 internet tablet in year 2007 (tat was after 1 year+ launched in US in year 2006), and Nokia made a big improvement on Maemo OS 2008 during that time. I was really really impressed with the overall performance of my N800 that time, multi task and hey.. it's a linux in the box. just add repository from the community site, you will be able to download tonnes of application for the Maemo.

i'm the early participant in this N900 pre-order, and to be honest... i'm very excited about it. but impression changed after i played with it in pavilion yesterday evening. the OS is still unstable, missing icons in the camera apps itself, intermittently hanging issues. To the unbearable extent, i got to launch the terminal to kill the camera app. to force it to close.I would expect a stable OS before Nokia put it on the shelf, the price is not few hundreds, we are talking about RM2.3k here. no doubt it's a mini computer with phone feature, but atleast Nokia should solve the in-built applications before they launched or sell it to the consumer. N900 is not ordinary smartphone like symbian or iphone, it's a device for tech savvy consumers.

after played with it around 20 minutes (mind you, the device i played with was hooked on a big LCD tv, those looking at the screen would know what is happening to its OS), I decided not to get it until it is stabilized.

just my 2 cents, no offence ok. hey.. i'm one of the maemo fans too! and I knew nokia will sorted this out soon. looking forward on that.

Maemo OS is been around quite sometime from the Nokia tablet N800 i agree but its like windows From XP to Vista there was alot of bugs and problem even now in windows 7 there are still bugs. Last time Nokia N800 its just a tablet no phone functions but N900 combines tablet with phone so its not as easy as paste the code inside and WALLA TABLET + PHONE = MAEMO 5. There are alot of work have to be done even when PDA are going into smartphone last time everyone have so much problems. I still remember those time the phone keep hanging non stop then when battery exhausted so does your data go missing.

No worries sharing is caring
I am using one now i dont face any hang issue. Nothing is perfect in this world
What you say is true about solving bugs and in built application before launch.

Its just depends on what prespective you look at it. Can you name me a phone in the market that is perfect or even bugless even iphone is not perfect.

No offense ya just sharing
