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

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:

Andy say no good GPS apps, how come your GPS working fine?

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Jul 26 2010, 01:27 AM)
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.
*
How you do that? Just plug in headset and you're ready to go with FM? No internet connection? No 3rd party software?

Andy is right no good GPS apps but GPS is a hardware . The hardware is great just no good software.
I think u mess up all the information

FM Radio - requires headset to listen to our local radio ( yes requires 3rd party) can get from apps manager for FREE
FM Transmitter - Transmit audio from your device to any FM receiver like car radio , Radio player. ( Do not require 3rd party but certain region like HK law do not allow them to use FM transmitter for privacy reason)
So the GPS still render useless, not? crappy software=crappy GPS=crappy navigation, or do you have something better? hmm.gif

Ya I messed up BIG TIME.
I was referring to FM Radio but since you answered my question, thanks!

aspire you're my N900 guru! notworthy.gif

Added on July 26, 2010, 2:49 pmHey guys I'm going to get my phone this week, a second hand one,
any advise during COD? Beside checking IMEI, WARRANTY, PHONE BASIC USAGE, CAMERA and SOFT KEYBOARD?

Also what software should a begineer have in his N900? Most useful software, anyone?

I think the price will still drop if Nokia releases their Meego.
When Nokia really abandon maemo and go full strength for Meego, what will you forumers do? hmm.gif

1) Abandon maemo too and go for Meego/Winmo7/Androids?

OR

2) Stick with maemo with outdated software/firmware?

OR

3) Flash and install available compatible platform?



Despite knowing, Nokia will abandon maemo, I still purchase a N900 this week.
Is it a suicidal purchase? sad.gif

The GPS is not render useless. Just the map not up to date.

Example - If the area exist in 2009 - GPS software should be ok in navigating
                If the area only exist after 2009 - Then maybe wont appear on the map thats all

So aspire, you're using Sygric 9 now? Working like charm? On par with Garmin XT? Or just another crappy software?

DARN!!! I kena FFK by the seller even before the COD. Darn! Having N900 dream just put to waste now!

But still I'm planning to get a new one; most probably an AP set. (thanks to aspire and you guys' poison).

Then again, there's another offer for Motorola Milestone; it's Android. (Sorry to put other brand phone in this topic, but I have to :| )

Any suggestion over here, Milestone or N900? (I can predict most of you will ask me to get N900) ;D

It amazed me that there're still many who continue buying N900 despite Nokia might abandon Maemo soon.

What a spirit! Way to go!
