Gonna be off topic for a while, pardon me.
Hello, my name is fruitie. I love those things mentioned in my siggy, DSLR, portable consoles, gadgets and etc. However, people always generalise these interests are only meant for guys.
I'm a female but always mistaken as a guy and hence people always call me "bro" which I hated it a lot.
So I created this siggy to create awareness and minimise such gender confusion again.
Plus, I put the copyright because there was someone who copied my siggy without my consent.

Hope this clarifies.

K, back to topic.

my god. this topic increases 3 page within 30 minutes if not mistaken. i cant catch up while chatting with my friends anymore LOL

what's the difference between the default browser n the firefox one for the phone? i kinda digg the default one. seriously best web browsing on a phone hands down. beats that ooh wat u call it... the iToy's safari

but seriously firefox on the n900 any good?

He should come clean & explain the whole fiasco openly.

I love doggy!

Some said it's better but I prefer the default browser.Except for some youtube video lag other are just fine.

how's the btry life?

laggy youtube vids? usually when the video is laggy i just let it load till finish then u click on ful lscreen then play it. it wont lag after that, from my experience lah.

probably it lags because the processor it trying to loads othe contains in the site while its playing the video. 600mhz has it limits too

The only flaw on this phone is the battery life

I did post up the reason in DiGi Campus thread.

I agree.. I'm on unlimited digi 3G all the time, and I got the FB applet doing realtime update on my N900 desktop + weather update + news update + tunewiki to download lyric automatically when I play music.. and at the same time, N900 allows me to natively sign in to MSN, YM, Skype, Google Talk at the same time.. With all these usage.. the phone only last me 6 to 8 hours before the battery dies.. which is a major setback at this moment..

The phone was designed to be fully connected / online at all times, yet when we do so, the battery dies too quickly for it to be of any good use..

As for the linux terminal, you can run useful commands, install other daemons etc if you know what you are doing.. and its like having a PC! No other phone comes close so far that I know of.. for example go to the Xterminal and type TOP, you will see the Task Manager and running processes.. thats just 1 of the many commands you can learn and try!

It also supports VPN, if you are really geeky you can install OpenVPN and it works perfectly fine with some VPN services in LYN such as bolehvpn.. and you can install torrent clients such as transmission etc and let it run in the background.. the 32gb memory is big enough to do some serious downloading.. but the battery will die faster!!

I'd say this device has a lot of potential since its open source..

The only problem is that its not very user friendly so dont recommend it to ppl who like easy-to-use gadgets.. its recommended for intermediate to advanced users..

+ I've used samsung with AMOLED screen before, the hardware very top-notch, the screen very pretty, the camera + video fast, but Samsung never update the firmware, never do any bugfix, never add any enhancement.. I prefer nokia since their devices evolve in each firmware update.. so in the end i swear not to buy any samsung again! LOL

Depending on what type of user you are and what you want in a phone, I'd say the Pro far outweighs the Cons.. and since the phone is charged by Micro-USB, there's a lot of possibilities of charging it while on the move eg battery pack, usb cable etc..

Cheers

Well, i subscribe Digi RM30 call plan + RM58 unlimited internet and it work perfectly for me especially d internet..coz my house and my uni got 3.5g XP..not to mention my alwiz hang out spot, Damansara : 1U, Curve all also got 3.5g..awesome?

switch to 2.5g it helps battery life ALOT then when u need speed for serious browsing switch back to 3.5g

not bad XP..i face d same problem as u..i give up buying D90 body and go for N900...now have to save from 0 to get D90 body T_T..
btw nice camera gear ..too bad u r not nikon user XP

i was just playing... bro.. hahah..

anyway back to topic....

the battery life is always a cause for concern.. even iphone faces the same fate.... i guess they really need to get some nano tech power to ensure better longevity of usefulness... hehee... till then 1 spare batt is always a must when travelling or in car charge..

Guys i found something cool on my N900 i was able to stream my music/photos thru WIFI to my computer

For Windows 7 Only
Step 1 Go to Start > Control Panel > (View icon by Large icons) > Select Homegroup > Select Choose media streaming options > Allow your pc name > then put your photos in My Photos and music in My music

Step 2 Go Media player on your N900 on your bottom left you see your computer name select it

Step 3 Then select Which music or file to stream direct to your phone speaker

Tried and it worked perfectly fine with Music and Videos, but for some reason its not displaying my Pictures... Thanks aspire2oo6!!

And the best part is.. the video doesnt have to physically be in My Video's folder, you can virtually add a video folder into Windows 7's Libraries -> Videos folder or Libraries -> Music folder and it still appears in the N900..

How to add a folder into the Library :

1. Click on Computer
2. Look for Library section on the Explorer bar on the left (You might need to Expand it first, its below Desktop -> Libraries) Right click on the Library you want, for example Videos & click on Properties
3. Click on Include a Folder
4. Browse and select the folder you want to add to the Library
5. Click on Include Folder then click on Apply or OK.

Note : One problem I notice so far is that when you add a Mixed content folder (eg a folder that contains both videos and mp3) into the library, both the mp3 & video appears, even though the library is supposed to be for Videos...

Now its a lot easier to playback media from the computer directly onto the N900!

Cheers

Update : The Mp3 / Audio playback works fine.. but for videos, they appear in the N900 but not all playable.. and some stutters / screen freezes while the audio plays. Could it be codec related? or perhaps insufficient bandwidth.. hmm.. anybody else experimented with N900's media player + Windows 7 media sharing please comment!

Update 2 : I think its codec related. The videos that I can natively play in the N900, I can play via wifi. The videos that I cannot play in the N900, still cannot play.. anyway I've shared 9TB of content with the N900.. it took some time to list out all the songs & videos but so far not much lag, can search for media using the keyboard in the playlist too.. Watching Highlander I (1986) right now live from my PC into my N900.. sometimes its smooth sometimes its lagging a bit, maybe depending on wifi signal (data bitrate)..

The FM transmitter works not only for Songs / Audio, but also for Video!! That means you can mount N900 on the car, use FM transmitter to send the audio to the car speakers, and watch a movie / video & enjoy the sound on the car speakers!! (Caution - Dont watch a movie and drive! *wink wink*)

To do this, play a song first and turn on FM Transmitter & Save (Click on Now Playing on top of the Media Player, click on FM transmitter, select your desired frequency & save), then go back to media library and play a video instead. The FM Transmitter will continue to transmit..!!

Yea i know i tested that too i watch southpark in my car tat day keke. For others to know N97 FM transmitter is kinda weak compare to n900 i must put my N97 very near the attenna only can hear and not clear. N900 just works flawlessly anywhere i put in the car
