hmm, thinking to change my n97 to this n900

but i reach from online,
i found

Bad:
• No Bluetooth PBAP or rSAP support, so it will not synchronize contacts with Car Kits
• No Turn by Turn on OVI Maps!! The N900 has a bespoke OVI Maps install that is basically rubbish. This is a killer feature for many people, and if you need it; buy another phone, as it doesn't look like Nokia are interested in updating it.
• No MMS Support, you can't send or receive Multimedia messages. (I can hear the Apple brand-droids laughing already!)
• OVI Suite isn't supported on the N900, yep, you heard that right!
• PC Suite isn't 'fully' supported, you can't use the SMS feature for example!
• The Screen isn't Multi Touch
• You can't copy/paste from/to Emails. This one I can't believe, for an 'Internet Tablet', this is a must have feature
• Cant mark/unmark multiple message to read/unread status
• Steep learning curve for non techies, you'll need to understand Linux and the maemo OS to get the most from it.


hmm......mms and copy and paste will be a big issues.

is it going to fix it on next firmware? btw, portrait mode also need to install myself or next firmware going to be included in?

Added on April 5, 2010, 3:10 pm1. Download and install Nokia PC Suite: http://www.nokia.co.in/get-support-and-sof...nokia-pc-suites
2. Download and install Nokia Maps Loader: http://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-and-so...ad#/nokia-n900/
3. Open the Maps app on your N900 after it loads completely close it
4. Connect your N900 in Mass Storage Mode via the USB cable
5. Run Map Loader App on your PC and load the maps for your country.

this is the complete and correct guide to install ovi maps for malaysia right? =)

I really wonder why NOBODY compare this with Android phone?
The real competitor for NOKIA in Smartphone market is Android + HTC(hardware manufacturer).

See how many phones beside HTC have acquired Android OS into their phone...Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG....
App/Games for Android is growing more and more.....
So the biggest thread is ANDROID...not freaking IPHONE....
and also WinMobile(which come out with high spec HD2 but declare Win7 mobile cant run on it, so would you buy an OS which Obsolete?).....

Check out this link

PS: I really never ever think of getting an IPHONE, if you wanna try their app/games, get an IPOD touch. But getting an IPOD touch why don't I go for PSP or even PS3??

i was thinking n900 or android phone....

iphone will not in my list!

Same like Maemo 5. How long android been in the market?

The unveiling of the Android distribution on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 47 hardware, software, and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.[9][10]  Google released most of the Android code under the Apache License, a free software and open source license.[11]

On Feb 16, 2010 Google announced that 60,000 cell phones with Android are shipping every day.[12]

Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28operating_system%29

and Maemo 5 only launch at November 2009
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo_5#Maemo_5

Dont you see the comparison isnt fair. Android have a 3 years head count and Maemo do not have. Give it sometime and u will be surprise for availability softwares. Furthermore Nokia already announce in future nokia applications will be compatible among Maemo , Meego and future OS

Hmm....u are right......

but then, juz to know more more b4 i decide to get which one 1st only.... with open minded. and that day went to lowyat plaza tested, i like n900 coz the browsing experience!... SMOOTH!

hmm.... lets hope that more and more user friendly add on to this mobile, so by end of this month, i will own one happy.gif

Try change to 2G (GSM mode), your battery will last twice longer!

I don't get what you're trying to do with the folder and X-Terminal? Incomplete message?
*
i didnt do anything with the folder, as Aspire`s post on the 1st page, he said to put on the root folder of the mass storage. what i understand, is when i open the mass storage drive, that one with alot of folder such as .document, .music, .bla bla bla.

then follow the step, open X terminal

type "Root" then enter. but then my X terminal shown "not found"

then i type "root" (smaller capital) .. it show something execute, then i continue to write in the fiasco.image.bla bla bla



then i open my healhinfo to check my cpu, it only show my cpu running at 500mhz.


not sure....>"<

BTW, i`m n900 black user.. add me plz. thanks!

after 2 days playing, i think its really hard to adapt how to treat it as a Phone. as a MID (mobile internet device), i thnk this one better than others to me.

but as a phone, even searching contacts also need to open up the qwerty keyboard to click and search,

hope that they will be more virtual keyboard support in the contact searching area.

and i do hope it can be vertically and horizontally support (landscape and portrait).

becoz yesterday my mum called, i was sleeping, and pick up the phone, she sound very soft, cant really hear. WHY? COz i didnt know i listen to the phone UP SIDE DOWN..... lol!
