Seller- must know how to sell the product and answer before purchase & after service

after u have the device in your hand when we reply/share the information it also become valuable to others as well. I wanted an n900 it was first announce.

Nokia n900 is not a smartphone its a tablet with phone capability. Ppl keep getting confuse and compare n900 with a smartphone.

ah~ i miss that out~

okay my quick check list~

since this is my secondary mobile device on my new digi line~ so very minor phone calls or sms~

main purpose will be 3G mobile internet~

- emails
- facebook (and photo sharing on the move)
- MSN (i not sure how the IM feature integrated into the maemo5 phonebook contacts but i would prefer standalone apps like how MSN mobile in symbian and other OS, which works quite similar to the full version MSN in windows PC, such as support chatrooms and etc)
- twitter apps
- foursquare apps
- online banking
- GSC/TGV e-ticketing
- GPS (i still use the Garmin MobileXT on my n86 occasionally when i got lost)

thats the main purpose lar~ other extra apps and features sure a bonus for me lar~ i like the maemo5 layout~ its darn cool~

so is n900 suitable for me? i know i will do some basic customisation on maemo5 to suite my style too~

So far, no good GPS app for Malaysia. There's Sygic but the mao is very dated. Since this is your 2nd phone, I think the GPS may not be one of the important thing for you since you can have alternatives on your 1st phone?

Fir standalone MSN app, there's aMSN which is Desktop version, but it takes up a lot of resources. There's other 3rd party app which allows you to connect to other IM accounts.
I can tell you straight that you might be better off forget about 3rd party app. Just use the Conversations, it's so much easier, no need to purposely open the program, then click sign in. Then need to switch around, etc.
With the built-in conversations, when you're online, all your accounts can be online and you can see your friend's status in your contact book, it's a lot better really.
Besides, you can place Contacts on your desktop, then you can see their IM status as well. No need to purposely start an app, sign in, and check through one by one.


You can also read the review from ShaolinTiger, very well written, as below he posted:

ah ic~ so i guess msn not much a prob~ either using the builtin or 3rd party~ if so let me get the phone n i'll use whichever suit me best~ thx~

as for GPS~ yea~ the n86 can do well with garmin~ but only complain~ screen a little small~ but not an important factor lar~ since i only use it occasionally only~

Ugh... Still BUSY at work, no time to go NCC or ANYWHERE for that matter.

So far my N900 is being a wonderful... paperweight...

I MISS MAEMO! I never thought I'd say that, but yeah. I need my terminal fix soon or I'll go nuts. Now sliding my dead N900 open and close from time to time to ease the pain.

DON'T......u might end-up break the slider

finally u understand. No point for me to paste how msn will look like later u will ask google , yahoo, facebook bla bla. It goes on round and round and round

hows the N900 battery?

Depend how you use.

the battery not that sucks 1 la....if u can manage ur surfing time and others usage + normal talk time and message...ur battery can last at least nearly 24 hours liao...im always get the phone fully charge before go to work, and still got the battery when i reached home...but of course im not heavy internet user leh...if u use wifi alot any phone oso can drain out battery like hell jor ...




this oso scared me, RIBBON is the main problem for the slide phone =.=, now i always try to fully utilized virtual keyboard rather than sliding the phone to use the physical one =.=

The ribbon technology improve alot di. If u are not rough user keep forcing it then it wont spoil

Lol, I've personally unplugged the ribbon and re-plugged it back a couple of times already, and I can confidently tell you, that thing is not flimsy. The plastic backing is resilient and quite flexible, and the wiring/printed circuit on it is thick and done well. It actually looks TOUGH.

Tough enough to make plugging it back it a great annoyance. It flips all over the wrong places rather than going into it's slot.

A shame that the thing that probably died on my N900 (the eMMC) was the only thing I COULDN'T personally repair lol.

lolx....i wont take risk to open up all the pieces of my phone...sked ruined it...but i bet u sure pro edi...thats y u so berani 1 to touch the things inside it -,- ....so sry about ur phone..hopefully u can get it fixed ASAP =.=

Well, dissembling a phone is easier than laptop provided u know the method and have all the tools

Laptop got more components and screws with different sizes. Its gonna be confusing after u dismantle everything

and don't forget to install the "Auto Disconnect" software....it's help alots on the battery life....

agree....my 2 1/2 years old N95 still kicking...heavy using somemore (daily 20-35 incoming call, 20-30 call-out), even incoming call slide the LCD instead press the button ...crazy act....well this what a slide phone for....slide it kaw kaw

isn't that hard to Disassembly N900, but if still under warranty, better don't

i know whats crappy slider is like my nokia n80 i change ribbon 3 times entire life

my n97 and n900 never change ribbon before yet

out of so many sliding phone, sure have few got problem

but since N900 still new....hopefully it won't have any problem on the ribbon and slider

Screw VT.I always use physical keyboard.This 1 of the main reason I got N900.
Even after 4 months of constant usage,my sliding mechanism is still tight.It's so tight that there's a 1 very thin line at each side of the keyboard

After u dismantle few things you'll get used to it.

Yea, if dismantle more than 50 times for the same model, it become easy
