yes too new manufacture haven't have this model yet. so seller normally gonna modified from certain model.

hey, what is the retail price for this fone?
is it launched in malaysia edi?

Prolly not coming to M'sia. Read before you post.

To those intrepid souls who got the N900 via non-official means, care to share your contingency plan in case things do break down? Gotta admit that Nokia's QC ain't what it used to be. Case in point; 5800XM.

Check out YouTube videos for N97 and N900 Stress Test.

The N97 screen is much more scratch resistant than N900.

They also do drop test (dang!), and also water test (indoor and another outdoor which is snowing). It passed the test initially unfortunately at the end of the video clip while the owner/tester is reviewing the phone, the phone died off and were not able to start anymore.

Later, he did the RICE method, after about 20 hours, the phone successfully boot up and was kicking again. He also mentioned he did check at around 6 hours (interval) if I'm not wrong and it didn't boot up.

Anyway, the above are just some test.

Btw, currently there is no option to assign ringing tone for each contact either... The phonebook feature really lack a lot of things. In maemo talk forum, seems they have highlighted many features to be added for the next update; hopefully.

Hmm. At the risk of sounding like a cynic, things do break, more so electronic goods. I'm sure as a fellow tech head you'd understand. I'm just curious as to whether any buyers have any more in depth ideas regarding the warranty; 2 years as stated by sellers is a little too vague for me. What parts would they be using, etc?

Btw, RM 2k for the phone seems to be a major steal. After conversion from the Nokia Store USA, its around RM 1950. What gives?

Mobile Internet Device has never been available in APAC... so its an export set or AP set...

N900 like any other N810 or N700 has never been available and will never be available due to some policies which me also dunno but just heard bout it.

So your best bet is your friendly AP distro...

Anyway for those who need a screen protector I got one at the moment... Will Sell at RM30.. its good stuff tho the fitting not really accurate.. well its kinda slightly small.... but at the mo.. better than nothing... hehe...

Yup, that's what many people worry. Doesn't matter how great a device is, nothing is fool proof or 100%. Moreover electronic devices.
So far, I still have my NK 6600 going strong (Bought when it 1st launch), with ori battery still and the joystick still functioning properly. That phone is a TANK, I've drop it so many times, even drop off from car onto the rough roads, dropped and accidentally kick it to the wall, etc. The good thing is, only the casing is damaged but I still keep the ori casing which still look brand new. This phone is just my alarm clock, used in offline mode only.

As for newer Nokia phones, I'm not so sure tough, especially with those sliding (more especially flip phones) and also touchscreen. But in YouTube, you can also find N900 dissemble video, showing you step by step how to dissemble the N900, quite interesting.

In regards to AP, this N900 is actually the same model which the US is getting, it's made in Korea. If you buy from ebay from US, you'll be getting the same unit. The AP set, you'll get the AP distributor sticker, and SIRIM sticker (if I'm not wrong). You can register your AP set online. It's still original Nokia phone except it's not Malaysia-specific model. The only thing is the warranty which is covered by the AP distributor or US Nokia instead of local Nokia?

hmm thanks for that info

there's been a lot of news on the micro usb slot being pulled out, or off the board...quite an alarming number of it too... a good question was raised on this and if it's covered for free repairs/exchanges by the seller (probably the only one selling at rm 2k) as it's covered under other nokia centres where the n900 is sold

in US and UK and other places where it is sold officially.... if not your warranty is against the person who sold you the phone...

At this moment only have ap set which is around RM2000

I'm using the iPhone screen protector with some modification. It's not perfect but should b able to work for months. Anyone buying N900 screen protector? Maybe we can batch order for cheap rate.

you gonna buy satio and modified it. Because too new manufacture also haven't produce screen protector for this model.

i just saw few shops in lowyat is selling N900...
