If N900 is officially released in Malaysia will that make any significant change in price?
I mean for current AP sets?

+1 for this question

AFAIK judging from the LYN trade zone, AP N900 was selling at RM1900 sumthin....will the price increases if the RRP of n900 in the usual nokia range for high end phones (eg around 2500)?

good phone, but weight+thicker+no portait+less eyecandy seems a problem to me.

For me weight+thicker+less eyecandy not a big deal for me.The lack of potrait mode seems will be fixed with firmware updates

Added on February 25, 2010, 12:47 pmok just now i check nokia malaysia website , it show N900 at Latest Model list, izit means already available ??

Just because it's on the list doesn't mean it's available on the market.
X6 16GB version haven't been released even though it's been on the "latest model".

hey shut up and listen. who dont know that wifi is free. i have been using it but this month i got my bill and my internet usage they charged me with rm500 anyone can explain this ???

Public wifi(such in cafes & university campus) are free to use.

Perhaps your phone connected to 3G instead of WiFi?
Did you try asking for explanation from your service provider?

but then it also depends on popularity. many new phones coming soon, even the motorola milestone ap is just around the same price with N900. very similar design but spec is better and running android 2.
if nokia didn't at least fix some of the phone features before the launch in malaysia, i think it will give bad impression and impact on the reputation and sales. it can be a pwerful device but it's not great as a phone.

Personally I think Nokia is jumping to Maemo 6 too fast.Instead of jumping ship for maemo 6,they should refine maemo 5 more & update their software support.N900 is certainly a very capable phone but unless it can fix some of exisiting software problem it'll be bit hard to compete with other high end phones.

Guys, i just checked with Nokia centre at the Curve. The phone will only be launched in the 3rd week of March...and the price tag according to the sales girl is...

RM2999!

I think it is totally overpriced...  vmad.gif  shakehead.gif

I was prepared to pay 2500 at the most...

Damn...Should I grab the AP set now before the price increase? hmm.gif

At present, the main problem with the AP users of the N900 is no MMS function and Landscape mode rite? I believe the official launch of this phone will have this problems addressed?

I don't think there is going any change in Landscape mode & potrait mode in upcoming n900

I think it depends on the users, no/less users means this product is not in demand = less developers = less Nokia support.
It also depends on the developers, if there're many nice apps, this phone can stay strong; The problem is, the N900 is the ONLY Maemo5 device available... But the good news is, with Qt4.6 support, we can rest assured that the apps developed in Qt4.6 are compatible.

For Nokia part, what we need them is for the firmware updates, bug fixes, demand-list. For bug fixes, I'm sure Nokia will still support in the future, I believe at least they will make it stable before slowing down the updates. The demand-list or request for features/function, might take some time; But for now, they're pushing the updates as much as possible.

Just make sure you really like the phone and are able to accept its current weakness/drawbacks before making the final decision. The best is to get your hands-on the device, once you've touched and played with the real thing, it makes a difference. Of course, if there's no chance to touch and play with it, YouTube has tons of virtual hands-on videos, including unpacking the box videos, 1st time booting up (which is very unique for this device), etc.

Problem is Nokia haven't fully committed to N900.While a lot thing could be improved with N900 Nokia still haven't done anything major.This device only only few month old but they already thinking of updating to maemo 6 & didn't say that N900 will support v6 or not.
How can users buy a product that may yes or may not be supported in future?

There are a lot of people wondering which type of people should get N900.
Personally I think those who heavily browse internet,listen to music & make normal phone call should get this phone.
People complain that this phone lack some phone function.They should remember that this is actually internet tablet with phone functions.Almost all the reviews say that this is the best browsing phone available today.
But if you are looking for some "business' related function you're probably better off with blackberry or other phones.

Why? I think Milestone is pretty decent to begin with nod.gif 

@super_evil_alien

Yep...that is true...Nokia mainly market this device as a computer first...phone second
And I really want to see how the evolution of Debian based Maemo to Fedora based Meego will take place...and how it will affect the N900 icon_rolleyes.gif

Haha...
That's why I don't mind about the phone functions of N900.I browse internet way more than I call people.That's the main reason I want to get this phone.

You should watch the endgadgets review video.The reviewer said he seriously considering having N900 for the internet browsing.It's that good.
