It's not officially under asia. Might have issue later in claiming warranty.

wow.. this phone looks awesome.. anyone know when its gonna come to msia?

As of current time, it's not coming

Well if you want to get one u u can head to the link on my signature below

n900 got no mms la.. so frustrating

To be honest, MMS really caps alot of data sent. Pictures don't really turn out clear, video is short.. etc. I believe now is the era of IM and mail. Freedom of deliver.

Anyhow, Nokia has made plans to include the MMS feature in upcoming firmware.

So is this phone coming to Malaysia or not? About when will it come if it does. LOL

Wait next year. But next year we will see Maemo 6. Cant wait...

Lagging and hang?

I don't experience any lagging even when I'm opening 7-8 applications. Listening to music, surfing, IM-ing, downloading torrents (yes, I downloaded the whole Ingluerious Basterds movie using N900). Hang, well I experienced it 2-3 times but not an often occurrence. It's basically a mini computer, so expect such 'inconvenience' every now and then.

The only (some) complaints I have is the battery life, and the lack of functions embedded to the phone book ((when it's in the portrait mode) - cannot directly sms, send stuff from the contact book but need to use other apps/go to 'conversations' mode to do so. ). Battery life with heavy usage can only last around 6-8 hours, but with moderate usage can last up to 1 day.

Other than that, the other 'weaknesses' I believe can be solved (if necessary) with installing 3rd party applications or firmware updates in the future. MMS, video call etc. Why need MMS when you can share through Twitter, Facebook, email directly? The sharing options can be expanded by installing certain plugins, just like how the original N900 only come with Skype and Gtalk accounts setup, which then can be expanded to include Yahoo, Hotmail etc, Ovi etc.

Play around with the Application Manager and include the 'Extras-Testing' repository or if you're adventurous (ehem) enough, include also the 'Extras-Devel' repository. You will get access to plenty of awesome applications. Image editor, IRC clients, bittorrent client, IM clients, Converter, Codecs, you name it

A little summary

Advantages:

Open source, limitless possibilities for functions with 3rd party apps available.. Great multitasking device. Great social media device - Skype, Facebook, Chat and Sharing tools integrated with device, Awesome movie playing experience - wide screen, crisp display thanks to the 267 ppi screen, super awesome browsing experience - browser is just... AWESOME. Anything regarding connectivity - N900 is the monster. Sniffing wifi points side by side with my other Wifi phones, this beast can do a better job. Good resistive touch screen, responsive and near no lag when running few apps. Slightly lag when running more than 8 applications, especially those with images, sounds, videos.

Disadvantages.

Battery life not up to expectation for such device, Landscape bias (most functions, jobs must be done in Landscape mode), Lousy camera functions - only basic options available, what a waste for a 5MP cam, average built in/default photo/image editor - can use 3rd party app to overcome. Not intuitive enough for first time user but after a while you get the hang of it. Cannot perform 'service commands'. Found out this when tried to reload Digi prepaid on it lol. Was switching between Celcom and Digi on the phone, since Celcom connection sucks at my housing area.


I am in the midst of summing up the review. Am really busy with work, friends and no time to sit down and to a proper review yet. But if you have any question regarding N900, feel free to ask. I will try to answer

i think the only main question people wanna ask is can we buy it here less than 3K?

Ehe... maybe... well you should try get it yourself then. Sure can get below RM3k.

so is it out yet?
or no news at all ?
went singapore and don't bother to look for this phone.. over there it's all iphone iphone iphone!

Well is here already
check my sig

does it hav an alphanumeic keypad for messaging??? can mms o nt????

AFAIK sadly the answer is no for both of the question...Nokia didn't have enuff time to implement them out of the box. But if im not mistaken, mms support will be provided by Nokia at later time

how bout 3g setting with celcom,how do we set the 3setting in it,do we have to go to celcom centre

replying this thread using the N900 only 1 word can describe it... AWESOME!!

Guys its talk time is only 4 hours. Its hardly lasts one whole day with me. Features are good. But Battery life is really very poor.
