Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

To put it chronologically, this is my story:

Alcatel One Touch Club DB (May 2001)
Siemens C45 (December 2002)
Nokia 3650 (Spring 2004)
Nokia N-Gage (Summer 2005)
Nokia N70 (February 2007)
Nokia N900 (December 2009)

Fun to watch how these devices evolved :D

My previous was an iPhone 3G

Got fed up of being in a straightjacket.

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Samsung Omnia

N95

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

N82 :)
I made the transition slowly over the past two weeks, switched the SIM card to N900 just yesterday ;)
But I will keep the N82 for parties, festivals, etc. where I don't want to take my precious N900 with me. And of course when I need the Xenon flash.

E65
6230
8210
3210
2110

and the 1st one, some sprint cell phone which I believe was manufactured by Samsung (1998)

and now the N900 (and yes, I am a Nokia junky)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

Touch Pro (1)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

nokia 3210 (swore I'd never buy any kind of "smartphone" until one came on the market that had features, capacity, performance and reliability to be my one mobile device for at least 3 years after purchase) ... n900 finally ticked all the boxes.

Do I get the prize for "biggest one-step upgrade" :-)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

5800XM.

Not a bad phone, but everything seems like a toy after the N900, even new releases in the smartphone range. The N900 has really changed the game for me.

Nokia 3210
Siemens me45
N95 (very very good. Gave it away and it is still going strong)
E75 (i regret selling this solid piece of mobile computing)
N97 (still got it... no one probably wants it anymore... use it for navigation and testing purposes only)

Re: what was your phone before n900??
 

E61 and I'm still using it, as I've found no 100% replacement for
- the voice quality and ease of use of my installed Truphone VOIP application
- a worthy successor of HandySafe. There is WIP but not all is there yet.

Anyway, as I'm working abroad, it does help having 2 phones, one with UK and one with BE sim card. TomTom also still works great on the E61, with external GPS receiver though.
