Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Dude.. I was right with you about the complaints until you started to get all aggro on everyone and started throwing around the 'apologist' label to dismiss people out of hand instead of responding to them intelligently. Take it from someone that complains a lot, himself, and has to consciously sit back sometimes to realize when it stops being constructive to do so. Opposing labelers might call you a 'troll' for that and overlook any valid points you might raise.

Thanks bro

Re: How many have sold their N900?

Re: How many have sold their N900?

Re: How many have sold their N900?

They might be here to enact their revenge.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

im bout to buy a sp3 sixaxis controller to play games! now way im sellin'!

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

On a user-supported site? Wow. I would think they would want to get on with their lives. You know, the bits that don't revolve around a phone. Or a tablet. Or whatever it is.

I mean, it's just a thing.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Not particularly - I just decided to use a non-standardized form of yes and no. Either way, the numbers still show the same. The poll does ask "Yes or No" but just in a different way. Nothing wrong with that.


As previously stated, many times - I'm not bashing nor have I started any other polls. I wanted to see if people still had their devices after having them for a while and fully utilizing it.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

really? you can't be serious with that!

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Obviously I am - just because something doesn't say "Yes or No" doesn't mean other words can't be used to justify the same outcome - hetero-graphs! I sense a hint of sarcasm from you though, as I know from the past and your posts you always enjoy a rise out of people.

It's funny how all these trolls come out of the woodwork when I made it clear what my intention was with this poll from the very beginning. Obviously if people thought this poll was pointless they wouldn't be voting - 134 total so far.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I kinda was afraid that you were serious. Shame for you.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Every time I think of selling, I go look at other phones, and then realise that none have a browser as good as this phone does.

If another phone comes out with a browser as good as this phones one on WinMo or Android, then maybe I'll sell up. Until then, its just not an option.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Well, I had to choose 'No' of course, but I don't really walk around saying things like "It's fraking [sic] awesome!".

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Could you ask for the price they received on their units as well as it makes it easier to see the average market price for a used one? Thanks.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

You're obligated to do so now though. This poll is legally binding.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

well said, i agree it really depends on the user

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

OK.. :) Maybe I'll be allowed to spell&pronounce it correctly at least..

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I can not undertand how can someone sell his N900. I am more than happy with it.

I think is the purchase that made in my more happy all over my live.

Regards!!

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

As I still look more at it as a mobile computer or an internet tablet there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Furthermore, comparing it as a computer/tablet to other devices, running maemo, allowing so much flexibility and opportunities to hack around, most of other devices appear broken-by-design to me.

So, hell no, not sold. Rather buying more (if I had the money, and I mean lots of money) and equip my flat with em'.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Sell the N900??? I have bought two N900s that's how much I like this phone :-)

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I will be keeping my N900.

I do not find it "fraking awesome!"

Currently, it's not all I expected and doesn't fit my needs entirely. It does meet several of my needs better than any other device out there and I have faith in the Maemo community and myself and Nokia to modify, hack and continue to develop this platform to be more of what someone like me needs/expects. So I'm keeping it.

I do accept that it currently is not the device for everyone and that Maemo will die a nasty death or continue to lag in the geekosphere if it doesn't find some main stream appeal quickly.

So if I take the nature in which this pole is given (you want to collect statistics on who has returned it and who is keeping it), then despite how I might express it or feel about it, I must click "fraking awesome!".

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

selling ??? wait until the next maemo version comes out with new faster processor and maybe i will consider to sell my old n900 at that time.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I love my n900 and no one can separate me from it unless of coarse nokia decides to come out with a version that is compatible with AT&T 3G bands, but until then I'm keeping it.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I think a lot of people are asking these very similar questions out of curiosity because they have no point of reference - read: the Nokia N900 isn't in a lot of stores - so they have to ask these questions to avoid buyer's remorse.

Just my opinion.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I love my N900 too, but not as a smart phone, but as a kick butt media player and netbook.

1. 2g is weak. I posted about having three N900's at once and all were weaker and lost signal in areas I never did before.
2. Map function and nav is weak
3. No voice search- use it a lot
4. No Shopsavvy- ditto
5. No practical one hand operation (no adequate portrait function)
6. No picture MMS that my family uses a lot, since they prefer basic phones and cheaper than having multiple data accounts for email. Simpler too.

I paid $419 (assuming I ever get the $50 rebate, of course), so the price is fair for a media player & tiny netbook. I would not be happy at all if I paid a lot more and with the current lack of comparable smartphone function and (for Tmo where I live) weak 2g. 2G Radio in my G1 covers more area.

Obtuse point is, I would have returned my N900, were it not for the price I paid for it.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Bought it, got pissed off, sold it. Missed it, got pissed off again, bought it again, skipped getting pissed off part, used routing instead of voice nav = adapted :D. LuckTR Out

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

Like us N800, and the 770 and N810 owners? :)

SPELLING FAIL!!! Two k's, otherwise English rules would dictate that the A becomes erect--er, hard ('ay' sound vs 'ah' sound). It would sound like 'FRAKE' (rhyming with 'flake') instead of what you meant, 'FRAKKING' (rhyming with 'cracking') because there's a vowel immediately following the consonant. (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frak_%28expletive%29) Frak is acceptable, but fraking needs a second k to maintain a correct pronunciation.

OK.. worked out THAT obsessive compulsive disorder. Whew! But then, I come from Massachusetts. Sadly, Worcestor is SUPPOSED to be pronounced 'wuss-turr'.. so, whatever. :)

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

You mean wuh stahhhhh, right?

Lets jump in thah cahhhh and goes to wuh stahhhh. That's how I remember it.

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I've been naughty...just put mine up for sale on eBay but I feel so bad....it works amazingly for the media part...but crapy for phone and business use (i.e.native document editing).
I think I might just close the auction and keep it, but I never thought I'd EVER consider selling it in the first place....the problem is there is NOTHING else out there to match what I want (i.e. office AND media functionality).

I guess that's what laptops are for !!!!

Re: How many have sold their N900?
 

I stand corrected, I suppose. I'm from Western MA where it's 'wuh-sturr'. We pronounce our R's, unlike the Eastern MA people closer to Boston (Bwostin) or New Bedford (New Bedfuhd) and whatnot. I have family out that way that we like to pick on over pronunciation sometimes. :)
