Re: Someone help convince me to keep my N900 and not sell it.

Dude(OP), I was very close to your situation a month ago. And I took the leap and bought the Nexus S. One of the best decisions I made all last year.

Re: Comparing N900 with iPhone 4

Its not really a "which one is better" its just that the iphone and n900 do similar things in very different ways. With the N900 I am free to communicate how I please. Tether, skype over wifi or 3G,...

Re: What is this part?

I noticed that part fell off of mine too. At first I thought it was part of the lens cover, and was afraid that the cover would slide open in my pocket. But if its just part of the kickstand, that's...

Re: how to get bluetooth pc105 keyboards to work with N900

Unfortunately, no. I basically kept retracing my steps (and yes, I did press a key on the keypad)... since this happened within the first week of having got my BT keyboard, I returned the thing and...

Re: N900: Support for Google Calendar and Contacts?

I would just like to restate how easy Nuevasync is for basic "outlook style" syncing of contacts and calendar. I only wish the N900's calendar was a little more friendly in Month view. I just have a...

Re: Next phone after N900?

As much as I hope that Meego is the kind of OS I've been waiting for, I am torn on what I want in my next phone. Or if I even want a smartphone and not some sort of tablet/device (possibly a...

Re: N900 Scrolling

I haven't used CloudGPS, but Opera's scroll speed and smoothness is great. Ideally someone would create a slider that you could adjust in preferences/settings to make scrolling through applications...

Re: 5 things in PR 1.4 that would make N900 the best phone up to date.

1) fast flicking, especially in media browser and application layer (again, flicking through many many images is a pain)
2)Ditch Ovi Maps, get Google maps (wishful, but not unreasonable)
3) Even...

Re: What is the User Experience Difference between Maemo (MeeGo) and Android / iOS ?

Re: Portrait Mode for the N900 is Coming! The Wait is Over!

I'm amazed by the negativity. As misleading as the headline is, this is still exciting news. PR 1.3 will hopefully add some much needed tweaks to the UI, Maemo has always felt more like a 'work in...

Re: what would YOU do if your phone was stolen?

Re: How will meego pull it off

I too have my doubts. I like Meego, I think the "total crossplatform" philosophy is a good one and it looks like developers could easily work with it. Plus you could build an app once and it could...
