You bought original or AP set eh ? How come the N900 will do thing by it own 

Hi guys, im thinking of buying Nokia N900...
But my frens keep saying tat tis phone hav many problems...
They ask me to buy iphone...

Seriously.. I dislike IPHONE... haha.. >_<"

So wanna ask all the N900 owner here...
Should i buy Nokia N900??? Thanks... ;P

i nver use mms before or less than 10times in my life lol

coz does research find one of disadvantages -- cannot MMS

If MMS is so important, then perhaps you should not get this phone?

N900 by default does not provide MMS support (not sure if Nokia will update the OS to provide it in future).

But there is 3rd party software which provide MMS support, it's called fMMS. But this app, seems doesn't use our MMS rate and will use our Data rate  (so it'll cost you a bomb to send MMS if you don't have Data Plan).

nop fmms send ur  MMS through ur opertor ie digi,maxis or celcom...

Hi guys,

I am considering to buy an N900, and I have read through all about this phone. But there is still something I need to find out before I buy it.

I am using a Nokia N73, and I don't have a 3G sim card. I am not going to upgrade my sim card to a 3G card, because I am not a heavy internet user, and I am not always on FB or msn.

I know some of you might think to use such a phone with a non 3G sim is something stupid, well may be I am. But I do need something like wifi and GPS.

Because I travel a lot, in m'sia and overseas, so GPS is quite a useful tool for me. And if I need internet, I can simply go to any wifi hotspot instead of using a telco's data plan. Specially when I'm oversea, msn saves a lot of money.

So, my questions are:

1) Since I am using a non 3G sim, but GPRS is available. If I use the wifi, will I get to switch to GPRS automatically? If so, that will cost a bomb in my bill. Is there a setting to stay on wifi without being switch to GPRS accidently?

2) GPS. Same concern as above. It is totally working on satelite or internet?

3) MMS. Some said the rate is as normal, but some said it will cost a bomb. Is it working the same way as my N73 now with GPRS or something more expensive if I don't have a data plan with my telco?

4) I checked at Nokia site. It stated that the new firmware now support potrait browsing. I prefer to have my phone UI in chinese, and I am doing a lot of chinese sms. Will I still be able to use the virtual keypad in potrait mode after I install the chinese software?

5) I am not going to install many apps and games in it, so, is the original speed of 600mHz will run smooth? Because I am not planning to overclock it.

Thats it for all. Hope some of you experts can help me. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to those who replied my post, appreciated.

Well, I know some of you are saying that it is not a good idea to use this phone without bundle with a 3G plan. I am looking for a device which I can use it as a secondary laptop or computer in the move, something like a MID or a netbook for me to do some light work over the internet.

I did a research about this in the past few months. Windows Mobile is totally out. Iphone, not my cup of tea, in fact, beside the processor speed and apps of the Iphone, I really don't see how powerful the Iphone is over N900. The N900 can be more powerful than Iphone if you know how to and what to do with it. Andriod, it can run on N900 too. Blackberry, they are good devices, but they are useless without a data plan.

I was also considered the 5800 and X6 before I looking at the N900. The screen of 5800 and X6 are the same size, it is too small for internet browsing. And the X6 is only come with internal memory, which I don't like either. Not to mention the disadvantages of Symbian over Meamo.

And some of you may ask, why not just get a MID or a netbook? Well, MID is way too big, at least, bigger than a PDA size phone. A netbook or a normal laptop will be too cumbersome if I only need to check a few emails. And I don't want to carry too many stuffs when I travel. And wifi is every where, Oldtown, Mc D......... Why would I spend more on a data/3G plan? FB? I rather do it at home.

The capability of N900 is what attracting me, it is a mini tablet with phone function, its what I'm after. I just need to clear something out before I buy it.

So, MMS. It is working over internet connection instead of GPRS? About GPS, as far as I know, A-GPS can be only work with satelite? No?

Won't no 8 automatically result in no 9 happening even less lol?

I just plainly dislike Apple product.
Overpriced,not exactly using highest available technology as advertised,heavily locked os(even after jailbreak),marketing strategy,simply refuse to accept that their product sometimes have problem etc2
For me N900 is like Concorde.It's more to engineering achievement than a mass end user product.
I think other engineering student will feel the same thing as I do.

Most important their overpriced advertistment+ brainwash works

This is why I consider Milestone as best all rounder phone.It got almost everything + got physical qwerty 

Too bad Maemo's fate still hanging with Nokia.

Actually, the public is over-ruled or blinded by capacitive touch. Yes, multi-touch is great, but you cannot use stylus! You cannot use finger-nails, lack of accuracy and NO pressure sensitivity.

Previous tablets, handhelds, Pocket PC all comes default with stylus support and it was great back then. Then comes with Capacitive with multi-touch being made famous by the iPhone.

For people with long fingernails or bigger fingers will curse when using capacitive touch keyboard, and worst when accessing website links in FULL version. Imagine clicking on links in Facebook FULL version, almost impossible unless you zoom in.
Resistive screen lets you use any object, especially stylus and it can have good precision/accuracy as well as some sort of pressure sensitivity. Multi-Touch is actually *supported* but the implementation is different from Capacitive.

Why reviews saying Amazing resistive screen for N900? Because N900's resistive touch screen has great sensitivity, not as good as capacitive, but IMHO, IT'S JUST NICE.
Capacitive sensitivity is OVER SENSITIVE, you can accidentally open an app or hit a key/button easily. And also because of this, it lacks of pressure sensitivity.

To appreciate the resistive, try using the provided simple SKETCH app on the N900. You can use the stylus and choose the PENCIL thickness and start sketching.
For better one, install MyPaint and be amazed how amazing this Resistive touch can do.
Honestly, for a tablet device, I'd choose resistive or capacitive ANYTIME.
But there is a new type of screen which will have both advantages of resistive and capacitive.
Entertainment device YES, iPhone is undeniably the best. But it's useless without a proper ear/headphone or speaker. The built in speaker is rubbish, any cheap phone can beat it. WHY? Can you believe it... iPhone is using only MONO speaker!!!!! and the quality is rubbish!!!!!
How can people still accept this and WHY IN THE WORLD DID APPLE STILL PROVIDE MONO SPEAKER???

stroke is not really that difficult. if you know how to write chinese, you will know how to use it. In this application, there is a menu that will show all the possible characters of your input, which you can scroll and choose.

At this moment, i think we have no choice.

Ahhh.. So which mean I have to put the screen protector by myself then ? aiks any accessories phone shop will do right ?

Yeap Working but is not graphically rich apps haha..only words

Ill wait till ntdroid support GSM calling before planning to venture into it

today will get my nokia n900..waiting for postman to deliver the item...what should i do when get the baby?btw...ts...list my name too...very2 noob about android or whatsoever...now following the thread & some utube about this awesome gadget

rm1260...
hahaha...mistakenly want to put simcard in memory card place

Worse imagine after u buy this later 2 weeks announce n8 u will be like 

but to me, N8 and N900 have made totally difference angle for the edge of functionality. One is totally focus on multimedia but another is a MID. For me, i rather grab a N900 + DSLR + ipod touch = everything.. although i know the total cost might be more n more expensive..but the enjoyment is totally different and more towards ultimate and perfect state..
the announcement of N8 is just another old piece IT stuff for me..
what's the fresh thing inside this gadget?
12MP camera? hmm..SE satio has better price to defeat N8
Dolby sound? plenty of cheapo LG phone have this feature
Symbian ^ 3? another outdated OS(even though Nokia still will provide updated version)
capacitive touchscreen? X6 has it
USB OTG? i believe very soon our N900 will get this feature from third party community
design? i believe this kind design is quite obsolete to a high-end phone..
resolution? N900 is better.

So, what's else is special? I'm not sure about you guys but for me..it's none..

no need to regret it...once u've decided, no need to look back...like marriage...once u married, never looked back if there someone more pretty than current wife fall love with u becoz of course wife surely perfect for u...

From my opinion

1)  i dont believe u carry your DSLR everywhere u go there too many theft currently. Do you wanna keep in your car? Put in your bag? I do own a DSLR but i only use it for special occasion.

2) Gaming ipod touch battery is like crap it can only last like 1hr - 2 hrs of continous gaming pros its small but it comes with a burden battery life.

3) 'N900 is amazing on internet capability but on music and camera its only average.
Conclusion do u realize comparing 10 different things when Nokia n8 will have all in ONE. So in future are u planning carry one Nokia , one LG, one SE , ipod touch , one DSLR to have all those features?

My point is if the phone is for normal calls , music, minor games, movie (support divx) ,point and shoot camera, n8 is an ideal phone. N8 camera is better than SE satio because its one of the largest optical sensor on mobile phone. From a DSLR user POV they will understand why it matters

If internet connectivity and flexibility and new OS its for you then n900 its the perfect choice.
So if future u can combine n900 with n8 u will have everything u need in hand.

Everything have pros and cons. Nothing is perfect in the world so decide wisely
