Re: what was your phone before n900??

E71. I must say I love the N900 but do miss some symbian apps. Getting Joikusport for n900 helped. Still waiting for audible support. Tried garnet but crashes whenever I try to play file.

Re: what was your phone before n900??

I owned an iPhone prior to getting my N900.

Kept that for a while, and I got the N82 and my world changed, during that time I also got the N810. I upgraded this past fall to the N86, but didn't feel that phone was that much of a jump over the N82, and the camera sure didn't feel like it. I wasn't disappointed, just a little jaded, then I saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbxyLnwFSvI after I saw that I knew I had to have it, I already was using the hell out of my N810 and wasn't super happy with my N86, so I sold that went back to the N82 in the meantime, and bought the N900. When it arrived my life changed once again. I still use the N82 if I'm going out and hitting the sauce, its a durable phone with a ridiculous camera for night shots, and on trips I still bring my N810 along and load a few movies. However the jewel of my mobile family is the N900 for sure.

cool story:D

Re: what was your phone before n900??

Sadly mine was the N97..hence the N900 upgrade..

Re: what was your phone before n900??

N95 for me. Had N97 for three days but was just too terrible and I returned it and was going to get something else before I stumbled on the upcoming N900 so decided to wait for it. This was way back in August so I had to wait a real real long time to get it (November).

Samsung G600 :(
EPIC FAIL!

Re: what was your phone before n900??

Htc hd, i am little disappointed from maemo vs win mobile. GPS ON N900 SUCKS, BUT INTERNET BROWSER ROCKS :)

Re: what was your phone before n900??

Ericsson all my life, first a few simple ones like the GH-688, and 868, but mainly the P-series smart phones (I had the Sony-Ericsson P800, Sony-Ericsson P900i, Sony-Ericsson P990i, Sony-Ericsson P1i). I loved the P-series: The p800 and p900 really blew my mind when they came out. But SE started dropping the ball with the P990i and the P1i. Finally, when they went WinMo with Xperia, I started looking elsewhere.

I had been thinking of the OpenMoko, but it never got stable enough to be even a little usable. I was about to get an Android when I got to know about the N900. When I found out that Nokia were making an open-source phone with full Nokia-level support for OS and basic apps, full keyboard and flagship level hardware (i.e. camera, GPS, WLAN, 3G, 600MHz Arm-8, etc) I was sold in an instant!

It wasn't until I had had the N900 a few weeks that the full meaning of the N900 sunk in. Why have only a phone in your pocket, when you can have a full scale computer? That makes the N900 a new generation beyond the Android and iPhone. It makes the step from a smart-phone like the SE-P1i to the N900 as big as the step from an old mobile phone to a smart-phone.
