I just hope someday nokia will comes with qwerty meego just like my N900, the best qwerty phone so far. currently using n900 n torch but n900 still my main phone.

N950 comes with QWERTY keyboard but so far it's now only for developers... sad.gif

And I will probably be waiting a few more years to actually get my hands on *any* N9 if I want cheap-cheap one sad.gif

if i'm not mistaken in Fcam we can manually adjust shutter speed, aperture and ISO right?

if it's like that, its a heaven sent to N9. biggrin.gif

can't wait to test out music capability on N9. Dolby Digital Plus + my Beats earphone. N8 and X6/X7 were already stunning for me. Wonder what will I experience in N9 later.  brows.gif

Yes. Only downside for it at the moment is that it can't use the camera's flash, and it can't zoom in/out either. doh.gif

Otherwise its pretty good.

FCam is basically the driver and the app, with the driver, developer can create apps for ti.

For N900, the is HDR app and LowLight app which uses the FCam driver.
The HDR app is very powerful and you can customize it.
LowLight is like what it explain, let you take better photo in lowlight, which work something similar like HDR app.

With the FCam app, one can control many things like shutter speed, ISO, exposure, etc. The ISO can go beyond the original max ISO available for the camera, and it have the ability to shoot raw, etc. Allow for touch focus, etc.
In short, the camera on N900 is not so good, but with FCam, it makes photography fun and give the "wow" factor; Previously in N900 forum, got few DSLR user there was amazed and having fun with FCam.

It's just too bad N900 hardware has limitation, if only there's a better hardware available...

While the N900 hardware is quite limited, I got to admit it takes some pretty high-res pretty pics and has an even better macro photo-taking capability than my 8.1MP digital camera. shocking.gif

That's from the community-improved camera after I got the CSSU update, though. Default camera remains to suck biggrin.gif

Plus the OS that comes with the N900 has a very powerful expansion potential; that's what I like about it and I hope Meego/N9/any later Nokia+Meego models can do the same. Difference only in package management lol, Maemo uses Debian's .DEB packaging format while Meego uses Redhat's .RPM AFAIK. biggrin.gif

There's community OBS.
With community OBS programmer should be able to create .deb & .rpm with same codes.At least in theory.
So different packaging shouldn't be a huge issue.
*
Well, I guess I really need to try familiarize myself with RPMs soon. I've gotten too used to DEBs that it became one of my reasons to buy the N900 in the first place.

This MeeGo used on N9 is MeeGo Harmattan, which is actually Maemo 6, it's still using .DEB packaging.

Eh? Ah, you're right. I just took a look at Harmattan's repositories.

Since I'm sort of a .deb fanboy (come squash me lol) I'm now back to happiness about Harmattan.

Ah, good, good for 'rough' & rugged usage people like me. Hope ur green robot serve u well.
N900 could last a full 18 hr day? Sorry, I dont hv an N900 & not a tech geek.

With moderate 480p avi watching, music, 3g and wifi, then yes. I pernah tibai all of them from morning then start work with half battery and just keep a light usage while at work. Battery can still keep alive even at 0 for quite some time... on idle that is.

What I'm trying to say here is that if you use the N900 for basic needs a lot then it has a good life. Most of us N900 tards get only so much of battery life because... I bet several of us use it as if using our PCs or laptops sweat.gif

the realplayer format support was around for nokia's phone for quite sometime already, I last saw my sis's N97 mini using it. Dunno about newer symbian phones and Meego though sweat.gif

... Uh, don't ask me anything, but I think I'll enjoy tweaking my N9 if I can ever get one by making things that should run on a desktop, run on it. Apps? Even 3,000 is too much for me to know, and will mostly do in many situations.

Besides, for Maemo/Meego, I'll NEVER call it an app store. Ever. I'll honor Android's app store and Apple's, though. icon_idea.gif

Anyone who uses the N900 will, at some point, stop using the default application manager (as in the video) and prefer the command line's apt-get (via the X Terminal) or fapman either way.

Andrekua, you seem to be comparing those who have experienced the N900 to those who have experienced the iPhone. Having been involved with both, I had to say you can't address it like that because the way Maemo/Meego Harmattan handles software is different compared to, say, Android and iPhone.

If anything, I'd compare to a typical Linux distribution user but only toned and tuned for mobile use, because the N900 is a mobile device. And so will be the N9.

There's also the official Nokia Maemo repository as well as the community-maintained repository.

There are the Community Extras and Community Extras-Devel. Extras-Devel is the most bleeding-edge of Maemo repositories AFAIK.

Then there's also the CSSU (Community Seamless Software Update) which... I can't remember much but it contains some improved versions of Maemo's desktop applications such as Hildon desktop with portrait mode enabled.

Is there any good ebook reader for N900 which can be also used for N9?

There was but I don't really like it. It hanged as soon as I was trying to open an ebook. Uninstalled it straight away.

Then again I don't really read ebooks but for those of you who do you might want to probe further somewhere.

playing around with the n9 demo unit at nokia pavilion. hmm. eventho I'm a qwerty keyboard fag typing on n9's fulltouch screen doesn't feel too bad. though the screen's kinda too sensitive for me. maybe it's just my fat fingers sweat.gif

...
maybe settling for this won't feel so bad since my n900 experience
though I will still crave for sliding qwertys like the n900.

but it'll take me months for it I guess...

Calm down. If there is a front camera it must be possible to make video calls. Otherwise what's the front camera for, right?

But them again, N9 has FM radio and FM transmitter but no software to use them. So....  doh.gif

Time for developers to start cracking their brains out on finding a way to use them. whistling.gif
