@bigbrovar  @bdogg64  Nokia hasn't announced a NAM date, why are you blaming us for you believing a date we didn't say?

They also said that the 9th of November was nothing official and are wondering why Nokia UK would give out such information, based on.. nothing.

Anyway here is the list:

* The N900 has now been vaccined against the pig flue.

* The N900 will bring you your towel if you forgot to take it with you to the shower.

* The N900 can now swim.

* The N900 will walk your dogs. (thanks for developers on maemo.org for integrating google maps)

* The N900 can speak braille.

* The N900s calculator can now divide by zero

* The N900 will be able to run Crysis on max settings, and support DirectX 11

* The N900 does not run on batteries, it just runs.

* The N900s screen is now both resistive and capacitive.

* The N900 alarm functions has been updated, the sound will get higher if you don't stop it, then it will start slapping you.

* The N900 supports dual graphic cards.

* The N900 has an in-built printer.

* The N900 can access the web without Internet connection.

* The N900 is no longer weak against green kryptonite.


These are the latest fixes that Peter and the lads have been working on. Its inside information, don't ask for sources. You will have to trust me on this one.

Summary below, I will update you when I have been down to the Regent St store next week and tried it for myself


I've also just come back from the Regent Street flagship store. Only one demo N900, in the hands of one of the employees there, who watched me like a hawk in case I drop it or break it in some way. I was never a big fan of the N900, just not the right type of phone for me, and what I saw did not change my opinion at all. Too big for me and at the same time surprisingly light and flimsy to the touch for its size - I personally did not get the feel of solid quality build, especially with the screen covered in prints, which I had difficulties getting rid of even after extensive efforts to rub them off with the sleeve of my fleece. The impression I am left with is of a grubby plasticky cheap feeling handset which I could hardly wait to hand back to the anxious sales rep. An hour later I met up with a friend who has an Omnia HD - completely different class with regard to the visual and tactile aspect when handling it. After handing back the N900 I went off to have another look at the E75 - it was like night and day, why can't they give the N-series the same feel of quality like the E-series ?! I have to say that for my next phone I will not be quitting Nokia, but I will be giving up on the N-series. Sod the large touchscreen if it feels and acts no better than the 15-pound throwaway Samsung I have for lending out to visiting friends and family from abroad.

I specifically asked whether the unit is with the final release version of the firmware and they said yes. Well, sorry guys, but it didn't feel any faster going through the menus than my 5800. There was even the embarassing moment of waiting for a game (I think Bounce) to launch for so long that the screensaver kicked in and the display went dark. I didn't really fiddle that much with it, since I was never too interested in it in the first place, plus my first impressions were not very positive either (in case you didn't get that so far - ) so I'll leave that to Micky and others who will have the actual phones in hand - soon I hope.

What might be of interest to the forum members is that apparently the N900 will be exclusively available only the flagship stores in conjunction with Mobile Phones Direct for at least two months after release (which I was told would be "any day this month") - no handsets will be offered neither direct by networks nor by other merchants like CPW or P4U. So whatever contracts will be offered by MPD, that will be it until some time in January 2010. There was even a MPD rep in store, who confirmed that.

You forgot one:

* The N900 can bend space time to be released on every announced date at once, in the past, while being released in 2010
