it really depends on how you use it actually, example if u have facebook widget on the main screen then it will connect to the wifi or 3G 24/7 but u will have option not to connect all the time as well.

Thats why there is a data unlimited plan

Amazing.. despite the device is not going to make way to asia region, there is still much to talk about. Anyhow, I do have sympathy towards the poor chump. All right, time to iron some questions.

1.) No, N900 is not locked. Genuine n900 can work on any network. Nokia had announce they have no intention on limiting the device on proprietary networks.

2.) No, As of time, Nokia does not have any plan to distribute or sell n900 to our region. & No, there is no asia firmware what soever. Nokia only distributes 1 firmware version to fit all continent.

3.) Device runs solely on OS. If you plan to include multiple lingual language, pray that maemo team would include the files under the repository.

4.) Seller's 18 months warranty is not covered under genuine nokia warranty. In case the vendor decides to bail out, you're stucked with brick device. Correct me if I'm wrong, unless Nokia can verify the unit is valid then I shall take back my words.

5.) Yeah, n900 looks impressive. Honestly, NO. If you can get your hands on the pre-production unit, then yes. Post production units were a big disappointment. Just compare the browser experience & performance. You will see the production unit is much pathetic with tonnes of unrenderred grids when flicked browse.

6.) I've been a vivid follower for n900 & I can tell you the picture posted is from previous nokia roadshow in US. You can dig back some old youtube videos to confirm.

7.) This device will need to communicate with OVI store. Should the unit be invalid or tagged as stolen goods, you might have issue on updating or not being able to enjoy the free download service.

8.) Yes, you can manually configure the phone to access 3g or restrict. Even on 3g mode, once open wifi is available/detected, the device will immediately divert all internet packets via wifi. The phone is smart in managing your internet connection. In addition on 3g, Everytime it will seek permission from user to allow internet connection. Yes any request made from softwares or widget will need your approval before being able to connect to the internet. Thus, you have control on what to allow and what not to.

9.) To me the videa fps is a big disappointment. 25fps? come one... videos would jerk on fast moving objects.

10.) Like I'd mentioned early, phone is not for those with faint heart. Yes basic functionality is adequate, but as time goes by, some configuration would require some command language. Referring to X terminal. This is good for geeks.
This is definitely one powerful device. But the software support is very much a limited for now. There are other devices worth mentioned however. If I ever purchase this phone, my reasoning would be on the massive storage. I like the huge storage capacity as well as the available expansion slots. Capable to play music as well as potential to run lossless codec.

hahaha everyone should know already he's a conman la asking for 40% deposit is way too much.

hey, i wanna ask 1 question.. is it trustable if we buy tis phone from nokia UK site? its 499pound with free delivery
