One would expect that this forum would be used by people who like the device and use it, not those who hate it with the utmost of contempt and feel the need to take it out on others. The device is no means perfect, but to bash it persistently and with an extremely negative tone towards the community here will not earn you any fans.

Quote:

is that not misleading other people who ARE GOING TO BUY THE PHONE???
I don't think anyone is saying the complaints are false, however I suspect a lot of people here are aware that the N900 was not a followup to a phone but to an Internet Tablet that previously had no phone capabilities on an OS that didn't have integration for such.

Most people here take issue with the reaction some users are having, particularly taking it out on the community here with repeated, loud, and rude posts.

Quote:

NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY WITH THIS AND ALSO KNOW THE PROBLEMS WITH IT....
Sure, but why would a forum centered around the OS and the devices be packed full of people who -hate- the device?

Quote:

Probably u cant return the phone, thats y u say all this just to please urselves because u have to live with it now..
HOLD ON GUYS. THE N900 IS CRAP BECAUSE A SMALL PART OF THE USERBASE HATES IT, AND WE'RE ALL LIARS! OH AND WE ALL HATE IT IN REALITY, BUT ARE LIVING IN DENIAL!

I suspect that entire statement is likely false, and this forum is not for that.

Quote:

U guys complain more than u use the device...
They're just responding to someone who seems insistent on attacking this community because they don't hate the device like you do.

There are shortcomings in the software, yes, but I don't get emotional and fly into a posting rage regarding them.

BTW this was aimed towards some low-minded idiots on here......
Congratulations, you yourself are one of them.

I'm sending it on monday - they even gave me a prepaid envelope when i bought it ( if i need to send it back)...... I GOT IT, TESTED, DONT LIKE IT, SENDING IT BACK... I didnt lose a penny out of my pocket

Its a forum on here and I put up this topic so that if someone wants to get the phone, he can know THAT NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY WITH THIS AND ALSO KNOW THE PROBLEMS WITH IT....

U guys complain more than u use the device... why hide the defects? U lot have got an excuse now? TO READ REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING.. JUST ACCEPT THE BLOODY FACT THAT THIS PHONE HAS GOT DEFECTS... reading reviews wont cover up the defects (as U want to do)....

Probably u cant return the phone, thats y u say all this just to please urselves because u have to live with it now..

I've just registered to post a thread elsewhere, but got caught up reading this thread (my mistake, thats ten minutes of my life that I wont be getting back !).

Underworld, I'm not going to get caught up in agreeing or disagreeing, think thats already been more than covered.
Just wanted to say that you are correct, here in the UK we do have certain rights - the ones you are talking about were brought in to protect consumers in their own home against bullyboy tactics on the part of salespeople.

They were not brought in for people to test purchases at home on a whim, and then return.

Even big companies have a right to make a profit and employ people etc etc.
Companies also have the right to expect us the consumer to take responsibility and exercise some common sense when deciding on purchases, contracts etc.

If you are happy with the outcome and returning your N900, and ultimately moving on, why not do precisely that, and allow us to enjoy our chosen device, on a site devoted to using and devoloping it.

Not being rude, just my 2 cents worth.

I did not buy it for TEST purchase... Its got a cooling-off" period so that u can return it if u dont like the phone....

ok, so just return the phone and i'm sure we all hope to not see you do another another post or thread. Goodbye from all the n900 lovers.

Look, return the bloody phone and be done with it. Stop *****ing about here, get on with your life and good luck to you whatever you buy. Its only an electronic device - I returned the N95 to vodafone in 2007 because I did not like the battery life; I did not waste my time telling everyman and his dog of my decision; the N95 went on to become a classic as will the N900.

Correct, its called amongst other things finance cooling off period, it was never intended to replace common sense and/or intelligence, or to be used to see if customers do or don't like their purchase

Anyway enjoy your new device, and don't let us keep you away from it :rolleyes:;)

Thats what iu want - that this forum is used by people who like the device...... nobody should say something against it - so that others read the threads and dont find anyone having any problem with it.. then buy the device, and when they have problems, u have a chance to repeat all this ***** all over again and telling him that he should have read REVIEWS..... Why u dont like negative reviews??

I dont want fans on here.. I did not bash it persistently everywhere.. I replied to someone, on post #2 or #3 , who simply asked me why i am returning it...

Funny tags you got. :)

Seriously does anyone really use diffrent ringtones to contacts. Thougth it was something you do when you were 14. Remember when I bougth the 3210, it was fun then. Now I would miss calls if I used it.
Just a thougth

Did not know it was something included on newer phone either.

Underworld, I'm a new poster - already I get that you were'nt happy with the N900, you're returning it and getting something new - happy days

I also get that you felt strongly enough to post your views - done

Now you just seem to want to bang on and moan for the sake of it.

Why not get out a bit more, or get a hobby - but ultimately cheer / lighten up, or do you just want to drag everyone down, all you are now doing is coming across as a petulant, childish bore.

Sorry mate, but thats how you are coming across, intentional or not.
You've more than made your point, move on and cheer up - please ;)

Re: Returning my N900
 
Underworld, Okay I see where you are coming from - kind of, 'cause you then started replying with rants.

I spent weeks banging on about my crappy N97, but that was on my network providers forum.
Ultimately I got my contract cancelled.

My point is, out of the people who visit a user or community forum more people are going to be pro than against.
Whereas people posting on a network forum are more likely to be unhappy or complaining.

Yes I see that from your point of view, you are just retaliating (I don't neccessarily agree, but accept that is how you probably see it), - but come on mate can't you except that the majority of people here are probably going to be happy users, you don't agree - fair doos, but don't be surprised when they rally round to defend the N900.

If I went on an Iphone or HTC users forum, and complained (rightly or wrongly) about their devices, I would expect the forum members to be a little biassed :D Its not rocket science is it.

Which leads me back to thinking that maybe you're just looking for an argument - 'course I could be wrong ;)

that was cause people started telling me y i didnt look at reviews etc , and i shuldnt have bought it if i needed those functions...

on most threads where someone doesnt like the phone, the conversations keep going forever... i agree a forum is for people who love the phone, i came on here because I loved it (at first)... But to test a phone and to live with a phone is different...

talking about different forums, I have been to loads of other forums, where people accept that the device(HTC HD) has got flaws (software n hardware), and try to correct it, rather than defend it ..

Re: Returning my N900
 
Three things spring to mind:-

1st One example of a feature that people feel is lacking is MMS.
This is currently being worked on here - fmms.

2nd In a sense I do agree that we should understand (as much as possible) what we are buying, all companies make their ware sound as attractive as possible - its all part of the marketing game.
I read lots of reviews, and new before buying that MMs and tones / contacts was not supported.
As neither of these were important to me personally (and due to open nature of OS, would probably come in time), I was happy to buy.

3rd Can we agree that you've made your point and move on :D

Re: Returning my N900
 
i have never stated the N900 does not have defects...there is a thread that was stating a hardware defect of the n900....
they were others about the usb connector being faulty.....if you came to this forum and stated that...i could fully agree with you...but to list "defects" that really are not...is my issue....prior to anyone having this device....mobile-review.com had a preview of the RX-51/N900...so if you were truly interested in the device....you ould have gone there.....then they were the bloggers.....by now as a potential purchase....one of the 300 reviews should have been read....
to the poster who said he wouldnt have checked for contact ringtones....this fact was clearly stated in many reviews prior to commercial release....nothing to do with fanboy-ism....all the downfalls of the device were listed....even one review stated" its a tablet with a phone app tacked on"....
well please have fun returning it...
by the way....the nexus one forum is that way -------->

Re: Returning my N900
 
In my opinion, Underworld, you are able to see what's missing in the N900 and are not able to see what is there. It is like arriving in California in a covered wagon and saying "Where are all the damned stores! They told me there were stores!" Well, maybe they lied to you, but the point is that there is gold all over the place and you aren't seeing it. So, that just leaves more for the rest of us :)

Right and that has nothing to do with the lack of cooperation of the telcos in the USA or Nokia's lack of marketing and interest due to the telcos.

Nokia's Point of sale is biased toward selling it's product and not advertising it's shortcoming as it should be..right?

All the tech and phone blogs and youtube vloggers that review this device and gave it less than perfect "Honest" reviews are advertisements?


The Nokia Forums are also somehow biased advertisements ??


Oh and people aren't allowed to use the Maemo.Org forums to research this Maemo Powered Device because......????

Oh yea that's right because you own the Maemo forum.

WTF is wrong with you people .... buy the phone from Nokia Direct and if it doesn't fit your needs, like this OBSCURE forum of email that you ASSUMED the device supported . . . than you got your receipt RIGHT?

Like I said I bought the N900 10 days ago . . . I dont know how much information was available before January but I know I have been able to find a WEALTH of information both GOOD and BAD about the device . . .




If every blog and website that talks about this phone and every other is an advertisement ?


Than WTF ARE YOU????


A lazy f%&K that wants to complain and ask me to Google stuff for you rather than do it your self



Well here you go . . . .

You asked me to Google "N900 provisioning"

In reference to the N900's working with "provisioning email"

http://www.google.com/search?q=N900+...ient=firefox-a


That query returns about 376,000 for N900 provisioning. (0.32 seconds)

I ignored both the Nokia and Maemo Forums like you asked and the website that comes up after that ON THE FIRST FREAKING PAGE is this one ....


That is the except found in Google!!!

You wouldn't have even had to click through to learn that the N900 doesn't support "provisioning email"

Now my main question is why you are siting here trying to discredit every source on the internet that talks about this phone????

Nokia's Point of sale is biased toward selling it's product and not advertising it's shortcoming as it should be..right?

All the tech and phone blogs and youtube vloggers that review this device and gave it less than perfect "Honest" reviews are advertisements?


The Nokia Forums are also somehow biased advertisements ??


Oh and people aren't allowed to use the Maemo.Org forums to research this Maemo Powered Device because......????

Oh yea that's right because you own the Maemo forum.


Dude get over yourself . . . .


Everybody who enjoys this phone and is happy with it is a "fanboy" . . . your an idiot . . . Unlike allot of people who bought this phone, I never owned a Nokia Smart phone . . . I honestly could care less that this phone is made by Nokia . . . I don't walk around with a Nokia shirt on . . . . I would have bought this phone regardless of who made it, HTC, Acer, even Samsung.

I didn't buy this phone because I am a fan of Nokia because honestly I am NOT . . .

I bought this phone because of what it is and what it can do!!!

I am not "apologizing" for Nokia, they are not paying me!!!

I am the first person to post a complaint about the phone but instead of b^tching and wining about it I try too look for a solution . . . .

I can't stand it when you people act like victims all the time???

WTF is wrong with you people .... buy the phone from Nokia Direct and if it doesn't fit your needs, like this OBSCURE forum of email that you ASSUMED the device supported . . . than you got your receipt RIGHT?

Goto the Nokia Store, return it, and get your money back . . .

STOP HANGING OUT IN THE MAEMO FORUMS CRYING ABOUT IT IN EVERY THREAD . . .
(you dont even own a maemo phone anymore)


AND BY ALL MEANS PLEASE . . . .


MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!


another one crying and defending his N900.. WE GET THE MESSAGE... ITS A PERFECT DEVICE... HAPPY? WE MOVED ON.. NOW U DO THE SAME

Before the N900, there was the 770. And after it, the N800 and N810.

I own two of the four aforementioned devices. I do believe I was here, post more regularly in those areas - Maemo 4 et al - and yet... I'm being told to leave?

Naw young one... not going anywhere. I sorta have earned my place in this community. Just because you got the shiny, new, recently purchased in 2010 N900; the community does not revolve around you. Nor me, for that matter.

Besides... how else would I do my "research"?

Now, regarding your "proof"; you missed the point by a country mile. I stated that the burden of proof of those aforesaid searches and prove how documentation, not threads here at TMO nor Discussions.Nokia - I mean real documentation - and you'll see... there was no mention in September, October, November nor December of 2009 about those thing. Look at the timestamps and you'll eventually concur... some grievances on these boards were not addressed in any review, were not specified in any PR materials, and are now becoming addressed only in these forums.

If you purchased this phone in December, thus before PR1.01 and PR 1.1, you've gained some better understanding of your N900 after the initial reviews and have since seen the rise of a few major grievances - one hardware issue, a few MS Exchange issues, and some UI enhancements/workarounds.

None of that was delivered as documentation before your precious Google searches.

Here's a better, more narrow search; this nets 122 results and seem to point back to Symbian before you even get to Maemo and how it relates to MS Exchange.

I know how to use Google quite well. The documentation still isn't there.

Keep trying. I've supplied more "proof" than you seemingly have attempted.

In simpler terms... you failed to prove your point; which is bad because the burden of proving, in a concrete manner your stance was laid upon you. You've been measured; found lacking.

Re: Returning my N900
 
Well Frankly speaking i did a lot of study and research before i went to get it. And I Just fell in love with it when i used it. So many things still to come and i love suprises.

Well its not the fault Of people Who just change there devices when something new comes out in the market.....
N900 is not for everyone tastebuds....because Its not the Same OS like other nokia phones.

When i bought this phone....there were others who were just buying it because it was new and expensive and i was not suprised they came to give it back for exchange for something simple to use. This is wht happen when u dont know wht you are buying......

well N900 Is way different than any other phone and it ROCKS!!!

Honestly most of my comments have been directed at the Original Poster @UNderworld and his twin brother @guber99 and in response to the original thread "Returning my N900"

@UNderworld is stuck between getting a Android and the N900

@guber99 was coming from an iPhone to a N900

Both tried the N900 and didn't like it because it didn't do what is was or wasn't supposed to do . . .

For Whatever reason It didn't fit their needs . . . this is a complicated little phone and not only do you have to do a little research BEFORE you buy it. Doing a little research after you buy it is the only way you are going to get the most out of it. PERIOD.

I bet that both of then have not even enabled the Maemo.ORG in the App Manager.

Hey, that is OK, I personally think that should be enabled by default because the average windows / iphone / android user is not even going to beadle to grasp this simple concept at first.

They are going to turn on their phone . . . Goto apps and say . . . . that's it?? I want my money back!!!!


That is what their are doing both @UNderworld and @guber99 started these threads because they are returning their phones to Nokia. That's cool. You like your iPhone . . . stick with your iphone. Their is nothing wrong with that. But don't continue to "TROLL" around the forum looking for trouble.

Goto some iPhone Forum and talk about the great new things that you can do with your iphone.

I am on this forum to share discover and maby even help develop some great new things that I can do with my N900!
