I have read all about N900, from aspire N900 Thread V1-V4, and I finally know that GPS is not a selling-element in N900. Even with Sygic it's still with out-dated maps *sigh*. Yet I'm still very curious bout their OviMap, can it run offline? (i guess not?)
I'm getting my N900 this Saturday, hopefully if our COD success. Looking forward to that day very much, eagerly and excitedly.
I'm an avid blogger too, that's why N900 is one of my choice for more comforting surfing experience. Maemo platform is another attraction (althought I'm not a big fan of Linux type OS). But suprisingly Nokia is abandoning Maemo for Meego, no wonder the price of N900 drops so much; that it don't sound like a joke to me. Yet I still hope there's alternative, maybe to update Maemo to Meego or Androids (with no risk) or betterstill Nokia keep the Maemo alive.
I would say open source like Maemo, Meego and Androids would be the most wanted element in future phone, rather than *cough* Iphone *cough* where we need jailbreak to run apps. I would say "What a trouble!". Nonetheless I heard the Ovistore is in beta mode, any different from the normal Ovistore?
One more thing I don't really understand is N900 has a FM transmitter but it require a 3rd party software to run it. That's a pain in the ass not? Where can I find it?
Still I think I gonna pick N900 over Milestone now. Nothing come near to N900 in term of Internet browsing, I guess.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers guy! ;D
Nope it doesnt require 3rd party to work i always do that while driving the quality is better than N97 transmitter. Gps is one of th selling- element but just lack of software support.
My n900 gps is the only phone that works in my car with V-cool and lock time without a-gps in 1-3mins when all my other nokia/ iphone cant even work.
