I think you have installed one too many apps from extras devel. When installing from devel, expect a lot of problems. Reflash and stick only with extras. I guarantee that you won't see these problems.

FYI, N900 is not a Phone. So Don't classified it as a Phone feature smartphone. N900 is an internet tablet with Phone features.

Get the facts right. Of cause N900 will be the worst in Phone features, but the best in internet tablet computer.

If I do want to listen to the internet radio I have to first connect to the internet and then launch the media player, else it doesnt work.

Its absoloutly **** rotation thing, whenever I use the phone it rotates all the time, even though ive turned the setting off.

Absoloutly **** signal, for example I can never get a signal at work and browse the internet, yet everyone else with their phones can? Absoloute wank. Always getting internet connection failed, and even when the signal is on full bars and its on 3.5g, webpages dont work at times.

Its laggy.

The Ovi store is an absoloute joke.

For some reason when I try to update things it says there is not enough memory or somthing along those lines, when infact theirs loads.

Absoloutly **** playlist feature.

Another problem with the music player, it takes ages to load all my songs up, and when scrolling down to a song/artist in the list it always seems to scroll past what I want, it usually jumps from E > Y for example, and when I do play a song, for some reason I cant replay that song.

The horrific battery time and battery reading. I turn everything off (3G etc) and the battery hardly lasts, and at times the battery has been on take for example half a charge, I turn the phone off and then back on the battery is near empty. It also takes ages to charge via USB.

The list is endless.

I just want to know why Nokia think it is okay to release such an unstable phone? Im paying 35 quid a month for this peice of **** not to work. Theres so many times I feel like just smashing it up, it annoys me so much.

I think the only decent thing about the phone is the camera.


Knew I should have got a blackberry or iPhone.

Rant over. Flame all you want. Thanks.

The OP have just joined T.M.O this month and this thread is actually contains all of his posts.

Now, if you were to buy the N900 and having continues problems with it, you'd probably ask for help - won't you? Well, the first thing the OP did was to start a flame thread > hence, he's just a Android/iPhone fanboy, that just wanted some action because he doesn't have a life or friends or both...

And you all fell in his trap :)

I've had the phone for 7 months now and been browsing the forums since ive had it.

Anyway, since day 1 ive had problems with it and over time its got worse. In the 7 months of having it ive been hoping things would get better, for example a media player that actually works, or for that matter a "smart phone" that actually works and does what it advertises to do, better apps and ovi store (not even a facebook app?) and even the app manager takes forever to load, the list is endless. I've been paying 35 quid a month for somthing that doesnt work properly, do the basic functions, I mean ive waited and waited for things to be fixed and after 7 months still nothing.

Don't get me wrong there's some decent things about the phone, the camera, SMS is easy and never fails on me and there's a few other things.

I just think the amount of problems with the phone compared to other smart phones out their is disgracefull, I shouldn't have to mess about finding ways to fix problems, for £35 a month for 24 months it should work flawlessly out of the box. I really wouldn't be that fussed if I encountered these problems once every so often, but it's every day without fail. Infact I can gurantee tomorrow when i get in the car in the morning and play the internet radio it will not connect and I will have to restart the phone, or the signal with just suddenly drop from 4 bars to one, etc etc.

Meh/

I'll give you a hint. Did it ever occur to you that maybe you're wrong and the phone's right? I know it's probably hard for someone like you to imagine a world in which you could possibly be wrong, but just try it. If the device is telling you it's run out of rootfs space (let me guess, you havent heard of that, havent bothered looking into it, and just assume you have "loads of space" because the 32gb eMMC isnt full yet) then it probably is, and that's also almost guaranteed to be the source of pretty much every other problem you've drivelled on about.

Go take a look at that, then come back with a sensible non-whiney post asking how you might have filled your rootfs partition, what the consequences of that are, and if anyone can help you sort it out, instead of drivelling on blaming anything you can think of, and you might suddenly find you get a helpful response and a working device.

How did it do that if it is not a phone?

I fail to see why people continue with these posts?
Nobody cares if you didn't like the device, it's your opinion (keyword here, guys)

Repeatedly stating that you don't like the device won't alter the opinion of anyone else. Obviously, this is a sign of buyers' regret. (Everyone has buyers' regret eventually.)

I had an N97 before I got my N900, I absolutely despised the phone but I didn't express how much I hated it to random people over the internet, resulting in the inevitable "THIS PHONE IS SO BAD, I'M LEAVING THIS FORUM, PLEASE GIVE ME ATTENTION SO THAT I FEEL SLIGHTLY IMPORTANT"

Instead of trying to enforce your opinion on other people (whose opinions differ from yours), maybe you should just move on and buy another device that better suits your needs.

I'm no fanboy, I don't care if Nokia produce one million bad phones but if they produce one that tailors to my needs, I'll buy it.

N900 is not a phone because it is not a phone, it's called a phone because it has a phone application built into the OS. Why it's not a phone? Because the OS is not a smartphone OS. Maemo is an internet tablet OS since 770, N800, N810. Those device lacked of 3G support, but running on the predecessor maemo OS.

Nokia did not promote N900 as a phone or smartphone, N900 was called an "INTERNET TABLET with Phone capability" Why? because it's based on previous N-tablet device but got 3G connection upgrade onto it.

You may ask every N8xx users and see what they say. Learn the history before blindly saying. N900 is not a phone people, it's an mobile computer with phone capability.
