The Sliding mechanism become very rigid.. Hard to slide up and down due a lot of sand inside... cry.gif  cry.gif

A very simple question to all sifus tongue.gif

Did you all restart your phone regularly or let it running for weeks?

I let it run for 6 days and start to acting lag, then last night it totally crash when playing bounce doh.gif  had to remove the battery to make a restart shakehead.gif

i've restart it every day..huhu

b4 that, i using some script called "optimizeN900"

Maybe it will help ur phone stay without restart..huhu

to me this is one of the best phone i have ever used.... the best IM on a phone ever.

The downside is Nokia is dying becoz they want to give up on Maemo / Meego.

i been using since it launched in m'sia. bought it for 2.2k. spent like total 80hours just to make something work (meego nitdroid firmware flashing etc).

some did impressed me, like 3g-wifi tethering, dslr remote shuttle, web experience. but the effort to make it work is not worth it.

last night i left my phone charging and when i came back to my phone, all the text became "label". time didn't showed (instead it showed wdgt_va_24h_time). googled it and found this:

http://www.sumoudou.org/%E7%9B%B8%E6%92%B2...kia%20N900.html

when i tried to apt-get install locale, it said my libc6 didn't meet the required version. i think must be easy debian screwed up. quickest solution was to reflash my firmware. end up i spent another 4 hours, and what I got is a reflash solution.

i said n900 is the worst phone, mainly because it lacks of official support. been a nokia fan for 10 years and this will definitely be my last nokia phone.

by the way, you need to see whatsapp or bbm before you say it has best IM tool. otherwise, we just think differently.

Well yeah.Maemo is fairly solid OS but there are infinite number of changes that can be done to improve the OS.This is Nokia's fault,not the OS.

N900 is my only phone & I'm rather satisfied with.My N900 has been butchered at software level for number of times that I can't even remember and yet it's working better than the 1st day I bought this phone.

About whatsapp,obviously if the developers want to release Maemo version they could have done it.But since the target OS customer is so small it's not worth it to allocate high budget to port the app.
Anyway I don't really care about whatsapp.SMS is cheap for me.

To the webOS,I think I said before that I'm fan of webOS?
Today's product launch made me more impressed.I especially love the smartphone & tablet communicating to each other function.
The OS is excellent,hardware spec is good but the overall phone design is out.Nokia E7 is simply excellent at this design department.

Hopefully at Nokia's Day of Destiny tomorrow Mr Elop will announce something similar.No need to show off the hardware.Just some announcement is enough.
But no to Windows Phone 7.Proprietary OS turn me off.

I'll say this : "Give MeeGo as much chance as you gave to Symbian"

I think Nokia will not use W7 as platform as they didn't use Android before. From rumor, Nokia co-operate with Microsoft is for their Office software, the project with Intel (meego) still ongoing, and they got S^4 behind the curtain as well.

It's a logical move.
Now Nokia can update some hardware(mainly CPU) & release the updated version of device as N9-01.

Haha..Actually I do like to like stuff.Especially looong articles.

Example : http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/bran...is-the-how.html
Contains good facts could be useful for the engineers on how to reach out the users better.

Also since we are talking of articles,maybe you guys should read this : http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/bran...to-my-ears.html
Written by former Nokia employee who don't think not everything in the infamous "Burning Memo" is true.

i don't know the market price for the n900 to date..but the demand for this phone is below average..most of the people who doesn't know how to use it, ended up selling it..

just give yourself to fully utilise it..then u will know if it worth it or not..

for me, it worth every bits...

N900 Fully Loaded.. =)

@SEA: And I thought I was the only one drooling my ass off at the Palm... ehhh... HP Pre 3. It's like they FINALLY got it right and hopefully HP (being HP) will bring it over.

I mean, one of the best multi-tasking OSes + portrait HW keyboard - the crap reso of the previous Pre units? Please HP for the love of god! I can forgive the now boring screen reso and slightly underpowered innards IF YOU WOULD JUST BRING IT IN LOCALLY!

Or Apple makes a complete and impossible turn around and gives us the iPhone 5 with similar portrait slider keyboard lol. That would be fun too lol, although knowing Jobs, he would rather subtract mechanical moving parts (home button) than he would add more of it.

On another note, I would like to say again - like I have said countless times before - that the N900 is a horrid phone, but a WONDERFUL (if not slightly underpowered) pocket computer. People not willing to forgive that shouldn't really try it out.

Lastly, 4 more guys please pay up for the BULK 2 OTG cables, you're stalling the bulk guys:

1) radz0 x2 units
2) zerio
3) XiuKeong
4) deanja92

Please guys, I can't order until you pay up or at least contact me. You have until Sunday guys.
