I dunno.. but I gave my sister my old N800 before I'd bought another one to replace it. (It was just missing the damaged kickstand and I really wanted it to be a whole perfect N800.)
Seems to me these things are quickly becoming hand-me-downs, eh?

You know, I first got this phone yesterday and the first thing i thought was "This phone is more powerful than my first computer" (which was a 486 with 32Mb of RAM, and i think a 300Mb HDD)
and i'm not that old... i'm 25...

Also there is Extra Decoders Support which contains additional audio and video decoders.
If you are to lazy to use search tool or ask people for info and help, just sell your N900 to someone who will know how to use this pocket netbook.

Kolos, a 9 for useful info, but ultimately a frowning 3 for nasty attitude. You couldn't just have presented the info and set it in front of the user so that they can just learn it? Why the attitude?
As said many times before, man I miss the old ITT days.

Hi
After two months experience of using N900, I want to give up this device and change to use android device. The following are the major reasons:
N900 can run many different software but their quality are not as good as default web browser, so it is useless.

- No Flash Player 10.1 Support.

- For game, most game emulators are running slow, dos box also has the same problem.

- Camera quality is not good as too much noise for night shot.

- No Meego OS support from Nokia.
Also Meego is not being supported by Nokia only so far as iif you call their customer support they wont help you if you are using it, as the N900 was designed for Maemo. It doesn't really mean a whole lot in the great scheme of things, doesn't make it any less usable when its all done and released. My Windows laptop is not supported with Ubuntu installed on it, but it doesn't make it suddenly useless.

Flash Player
When you see the flash player demo video on N900, you may think it should be the first device to get it but not finally.
For Subtitle Support
Subtitle support application does not work for MOV file as you can not select different subtitle and audio files...
Camera
I can find may mobile phone got better picture quality than N900. Don't want to say the mobile phone names....
Phone Function
You will find lack of search/short cut alias function in contact, even the first release Meego got search/short cut alias function in contact.
