Gonna buzz my whole contact list to see if there is anyone who can call me a sibling :).

I dunno.. but I gave my sister my old N800 before I'd bought another one to replace it. (It was just missing the damaged kickstand and I really wanted it to be a whole perfect N800.)

Seems to me these things are quickly becoming hand-me-downs, eh?

Re: Want to Give Up N900

You know, I first got this phone yesterday and the first thing i thought was "This phone is more powerful than my first computer" (which was a 486 with 32Mb of RAM, and i think a 300Mb HDD)

and i'm not that old... i'm 25...

Lack of subtitles? Subtitles Support is out almost from official phone release! :rolleyes:

Also there is Extra Decoders Support which contains additional audio and video decoders.

If you are to lazy to use search tool or ask people for info and help, just sell your N900 to someone who will know how to use this pocket netbook.

Re: Want to Give Up N900

Damn it. The bidding is already over 100? I always miss out on good deals for a second N900...

Re: Want to Give Up N900

Kolos, a 9 for useful info, but ultimately a frowning 3 for nasty attitude. You couldn't just have presented the info and set it in front of the user so that they can just learn it? Why the attitude?

As said many times before, man I miss the old ITT days.

I am old. I can say that about my TOASTER. You know, the one that makes toast.

Damn kids and their newfangled computers.

After two months experience of using N900, I want to give up this device and change to use android device. The following are the major reasons:

N900 can run many different software but their quality are not as good as default web browser, so it is useless.

We still do not know for certain the N900 is not going to get it, only that Android got it first. If you are going to jump ship every time something new comes to a handset you do not currently own, you will be swapping handsets every month.

Someone already mentioned that support is available.

What makes you think Android will be any better? The speed is 99% down to the speed of the handset and all high-end handsets are between 600-1000Mhz Cortex A8, which of course the N900 can be over-clocked to 1Ghz easily and has a superior GPU to most handsets running at 1Ghz native (they use the extra CPU power to offset a poorer GPU).

Can't argue there, but again is there an Android handset that is any better? (I am genuinely asking)

Your point being? How exactly does that make the N900 any less usable now, today?

Also Meego is not being supported by Nokia only so far as iif you call their customer support they wont help you if you are using it, as the N900 was designed for Maemo. It doesn't really mean a whole lot in the great scheme of things, doesn't make it any less usable when its all done and released. My Windows laptop is not supported with Ubuntu installed on it, but it doesn't make it suddenly useless.

Personal opinion, its perfectly satisfactory for my purposes which is a super flexible pocket Linux PC that also happens to have phone and SMS functions so I do not have to carry a phone too.

For games, I will buy a Nintendo 3DS as NO smartphone/tablet plays games that well due to the lack of a good D-Pad and sufficient buttons.

Thank you for your advice.... you are a nice guy unlike some people do not like to hear negative opinions in this site (they need to grow up and don't live only in their dream)....

Flash Player
When you see the flash player demo video on N900, you may think it should be the first device to get it but not finally.

For Subtitle Support
Subtitle support application does not work for MOV file as you can not select different subtitle and audio files...

Camera
I can find may mobile phone got better picture quality than N900. Don't want to say the mobile phone names....

Phone Function
You will find lack of search/short cut alias function in contact, even the first release Meego got search/short cut alias function in contact.
