Was waiting so long for this phone, but quite disappointed.
I went to the Nokia store today and played around with the N900. The QWERTY keypad is nice, and the phone feels solid. But I really think the GUI is annoying. 1) Menu items just standard Nokia ones and can't rearrange 2) It's using a resistive screen so can't drag it with your finger smoothly, had to use my fingernail. 3) Applications all quite dull. 4) Stuck in landscape mode The good thing is that there's a lot of non-GUI functionality, but it's quite expensive. I think for that price an Android phone would be a better buy - more applications in Android Market and customization potential. Played with some android HTC phones recently, think they're really great. |

OVI Maps is the most interesting thing, but if you're a Nokia user chances are you already prefer to install "ahem-ahem" edition of Garmin.just a question, are there any special feature or apps available in n900? bsides multitask and surfing net experience. It's Maemo based so I guess you can download any application from maemo.org, but not sure if all your old Symbian applications can be easily ported and used. Seriously for 2k, I think this phone is not worth it.  |

Played with some android HTC phones recently, think they're really great. 1) the rearrange thing is coming soon in the next updated.... 2) well to be precise of what you drag of course use finger tip... dun use ur nail you might scratch the screen!!!! but so far me using finger also can drag smoothly... must be the way you do it... to me... it is comparable to that iphone and for a resistive screen is very good!!!  3) iphone have many ppl doing apps and although it states got loads of apps, i hear ppl say there are too many useless apps than good ones... so I hear hear only la... i think the apps available for maemo is quite exhaustive if you instal repositories in your n900.... I am very happy with the available apps which is mostly usefull... 4) in the next update it has potrait mode as well... beside u should know that it is that way when you purchase the phone... so why you still go ahead?? hehe j/k  5) its a mini computer with a phone function so for phone usage is bare minimum... but more coming at the next update.... 6) what device can dual boot?? n900 can... boot android.. search youtube... 7) what device can handle multi task propertly??? n900.... 8) what device can do remote desktop??? n900... 9) the ovi map is gonna have update too in the next update.. hehe... now is the bare basics... 10) well it is an open platform means many more will be coming... 11) if you got problem with the phone, you have maemo.org to go to to share the bug and there will be response from relevant ppl... it has not failed me so far... 12) there is an emulator for this phone... what more for gaming... do some searching you will find it.... 13) i think i can go further but i will stop here for now.... Note: do search around for nokian900application... you may find repository to download and instal...  This post has been edited by firstknight: Apr 1 2010, 09:20 PM |
