Re: Shooting the moon... with my n900

Oh... that might be the more accurate term for it. The image on the display when it was lined up square on the lens had that overly-bright "wobbly-blob" look that I would get if I was shooting...

Re: Shooting the moon... with my n900

My shots were taken with the default cam app, set to macro mode. It's funny that you guys ask, because I had just recently re-flashed my phone back to vanilla PR1.3 (had some trouble with fMMS -...

Re: AT&T just bought T Mobile USA for 36 billion ! what do you think it means to us that use tmo??

For all of the market-speak in the press release, you would think this is great for all parties involved... hardly.
The clear winner in this is AT&T... T-Mobile has, for all intents and purposes,...

Re: Shooting the moon... with my n900

Wow, that's a fantastic shot!

I'm not much of a photographer (only my n900 and an older 4mp Konica-Minolta point-and-shoot), but inspiration struck, so... :D

Re: Shooting the moon... with my n900

At the time I took the shots, the moon was still pretty low and near the tree line, so the brightness of the moon occluded most nearby stars. Also, the wind was starting to pick up, and I don't...

Shooting the moon... with my n900

Last night, I heard on the evening news that the moon was going to be very close to the Earth, and would be a spectacular opportunity to view at its fullest. After waiting for sunset, I went out to...

Re: N900 gone from nokia stoe

Actually, the N900 has been "on again, off again" at the NokiaUSA.com storefront for some time now... for that matter, NokiaUSA.com is a joke - it's basically a disjointed e-commerce site, with only...

Re: My rescue plan for meego

Re: Sygic Mobile Maps 10

Re: Attention all N900 Vodafone users in the UK!

I feel your pain... I've used Motorolas, Blackberries, and most recently a Nokia 5230, and voice dialing is definitely a feature that I miss on my N900.

However, I temper that loss by the...

Re: no.1 bluetooth headset or headphones for jogging

Well... I've been scared off from using the 505's on a heavy workout from both the reviews I've read, and from handling the device - I can see exactly were the mentioned faults are, and I only wish I...

Re: no.1 bluetooth headset or headphones for jogging

My wife and I recently bought a set of BT headphones for each other. She went with the Motorola S9-HD, and I got the Nokia BH-505.

She likes her S9's, although there's the issue with the rubber...

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?

Definitely the Plantronics Voyager Pro... great sound quality, although the windscreen on the mic can be painful if you've got facial hair.

Works well enough, although it does have a quirk: when...

Re: Nokia Crashes HTC London Event

I think this was a gutsy (and funny!) move on Nokia's part. HTC decided to piggy-back on NW2010, not the other way around. They also brought buses clearly marked with HTC branding right to the...
