Re: Show your best photos taken with N900

Lucky you, I couldn't even get Nokia panorama to work on my phone.

Re: It's Almost March 2013, is n900 still worth buying?

Nobody asked how the OP intends to use the phone. If it is mostly for phone calls, messaging and playing music clearly there are better alternatives than the N900. Another aspect if you live in the...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

I have an Android tablet, you can switch between apps and I think the OS does a more or less good job of preserving and restoring application state. Not true multitasking sure, but it gets close in...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

If not for the apps I need I'd be getting the N9, but sadly it offers very little, or even less, on top what I can already do on the N900. Love the design and the swipe interface though. I doubt the...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Funny coincidence, but the electric car, or rather the lack of related Maemo apps, is one of the reasons forcing me to retire my N900 soon. Too cumbersome to have them both :)

Re: Debating buying an N9. Convince me.

I'm in the same boat, but sadly, despite low prices on the N9, I find myself leaning towards Android lately, because of apps mostly. It is true 90% of the apps is junk but there are quite a few jems...

Re: Google Maps Official (Java Version)

I does install a few, like Opera Mini, Nimbuzz, and a couple of others. Word of caution - I see cvm keeps running when you exit the maps, pegging the CPU, so if this happens you need to kill it from...

Fired up the app and it worked today. I'm shocked. Let's see how long it will last.

Re: [WTB] N900 Otterbox case!

I, personally, don't have any issues with the case and like the rubber plugs that prevent junk from getting into sockets. Unlock switch is definitely harder to reach but I now use the power...

Re: Decision to purchase an n900 in 2013...

I would choose the built-in Skype and true VoIP clients over Google Voice any day of the week. As for LTE/4G you don't really need it unless you do lots HD video streaming, and if that is what you do...

Re: Decision to purchase an n900 in 2013...

One thing that bothers me somewhat is that you can't buy a decent protective case for the N900 these days. I've been watching ebay for Otterbox case for several months now and nothing. You can...

Re: Decision to purchase an n900 in 2013...

They are different no doubt, but apart from lack of the physical k/b can you guys name top 3 things you miss on the N9 as compared to the N900? No support for Skype video is obvious, but what else?

Re: Decision to purchase an n900 in 2013...

Ok, N9 is more closed from developer's standpoint, but I don't think that will make a big difference in this particular case.

Re: Decision to purchase an n900 in 2013...

Definitely relevant but unless you really want a physical k/b or a resistive screen I'd say go with the N9, same idea but more power/better looks/slicker user interface/more apps(marginally). You may...

Re: [MeeGo] What are your TOP 2 Missing Apps?

The real Java Google Maps app works quite nicely on my N900, I imagine it will work even faster on the N9. See:

Re: Nokia Panorama app updated! This is what all N900 apps would have looked like or Harmattan default apps will rock :D

Re: [WTB] N900 Otterbox case!

No joy with jujers so far. Ordered 10 days ago, no updates/shipping# and the website is down today. Glad I used a virtual credit card #. Not holding my breath I'm going to receive anything from them.

Re: [WTB] N900 Otterbox case!

$100 is insane, you can probably find whole N900 in okay condition at that price. Are you seriously considering it?
