Come back after you've done some research then we'll talk again.

Re: More Cons than Pros for the N900
 

When I paid for my N900 it is was in September. I finally got in mid November. Reason for the delay was because they said it had software problems. My device is unbranded and unlocked. I was the 2nd person to get the phone on the release date, some woman beat me to it.
B!tch.
Anyway maybe their first batch of N900’s was faulty.

People now are getting it locked on a network for a 24 month contract. Maybe these carriers have updated the software to the own network and people are not having that many problems with their device.

i noticed some one mentioned about having graphical glitchs. i had the same sort of thing it wasnt realy glitch's just quite slow which made it apear glitchy. my touch screen was also not very responsive.
i now dont suffer from any of these problems this is because "i think" orginaly i had a screen cover on it which i think was the resoning behind the shoddy touch screen because after removal it seems much better.
i recently broke my n900 and flashed it back to the uk release .bin since then my phone has worked a dream as if i have gained anouth 200mhz. this is either because i had install items from dev and testing. which were resource hogging
or i had far to meany desktop items that were all needing processing power. " sum reason i think its the load applet as it must always be checking to find out the load of the ram and arm cpu"
or the phone just works better once you have flashed it back to orginal. and update from there.

either way what ever fixed my main gripes with the phone fixed them. so i must say i love my n900 never been able to do half of the things i can do with this phone.

i agree on the battery life is crap

Re: More Cons than Pros for the N900
 

i have flashed both the firmware and the mass memory and the graphical issues are still present.And no its not because of any major lagfest,there are ACTUAL graphical issues.Check the bugzilla u'll find them listed.

So it was problem free from November until now? Just trying to understand the timeline.

Once again.

So there were N number of people who bought a brand new device, and some subset of N assumed that a brand new device running a brand new system would arrive fully equivalent in functionality to devices on their second or third MAJOR software and/or hardware revisions, and they're now, 5 months later, getting around to posting how disappointed they are, on a USER/FAN site for the product.

Scratches head.

Still don't get it.

The n900 is a linux platform with some PIM/Phone capabilities that has fairly robust Nokia support for bug fixes, a growing user base of developers, and decent potential. It's not an iPhone, a flip phone, an n97, an n95, or a Droid. It's better then all of them in some ways, but not nearly as polished in others. The hardware is better in some ways, different in some ways, and worse in some ways.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.

And yeah, I get it, it's not for everyone.

Re: More Cons than Pros for the N900
 

OP: there are far better cons than the ones u listed in ur 1st post.. btw, nowadays you have to do RESEARCH before buying a phone because u cannot trust a company to sell a decent phone.... thats the universal excuse for defending the n900


is that supposed to b a joke????:confused:
not even half of this phone/tablet is even close to perfection.....

Re: More Cons than Pros for the N900
 

The advertising of the n900 is a joke lol.
On the official Maemo 5 website the n900 is advertised as a mobile computer while on the official nokia site the n900 is advertised as a mobile phone.Nokia needs to make their minds up and decide whether its a phone or a "mobile computer".

Re: More Cons than Pros for the N900
 

i just love my n900. that's all I have to contribute :)
