Re: N900 Owners Thread (First impressions, ...)
 

BTW people, Gpodder works in portrait mode. I'm so used to holding the darn thing in landscape mode that when I hung up on a call just now I noticed that Gpodder had switched to portrait mode.

Can someone design an mp3 player that works in portrait mode? Please?
That's the only thing that I think I need in portrait mode.

My unboxing has been in my sig for several days. It was posted in the UK thread at the time. For screen shots,

Random photo from the garden

My 'Connected Life' screen

N900 photographing itself on TV

Another random photo - tescos.

Random doodle done in sketch and saved as a screenshot.

Is that what you wanted?

And congrats to the new arrivals. :)

Re: N900 Owners Thread (First impressions, ...)
 

Mine came with a defective screen :(
Already had to wait 3 weeks to receive it. Now I will have to part with it for another 2 weeks to have it repaired. Not only that, but I also have to pay to have it shipped to wherever they do repairs.
But as much as I was able to enjoy it, so far it's better than iPhone, especially since I'm on T-Mobile and can now use 3.5G internet for just $5.99.

Hey, quite right to be skeptical.. It could all be one vast conspiracy, you never know...

Here's a variation on the old trick of a photo with today's newspaper.. :D

Funny you should mention that...

Re: N900 Owners Thread (First impressions, ...)
 

I just got my N900 but am only getting 2.5g -- despite t-mobile's maps claiming I'm in a 3G area.

(Oh, and the mic works -- woohoo. I turned it on before charging)

My t-mobile sim was originally obtained in 2003 and I got the t-mobile vpn internet (internet3.voicestream.com) when it was GPRS only. When EDGE came out, I was fine when I upgraded to an N95.

Is there such a thing as a 3G SIM? Am I going to have to get a new one? (and a new plan) :-(

Re: N900 Owners Thread (First impressions, ...)
 

Could someone please confirm if the screen on the n900 is glass, as on the iphone's and HD2's? Or plastic? Would having a plastic screen reduce its vividity?

Re: N900 Owners Thread (First impressions, ...)
 

It's plastic. The phone on max brightness looks beautiful, especially videos.
