What phone are you going to get after the N900 ?? - maemo.org

LordVan | # 1 | 2012-01-16, 07:47 | Report

I've been thinking recently ..

My N900 Battery keeps getting worse (had It pretty much since it came out).. I have to charge it every night even if I don't use it much .. (If i forget it goes from ~50% to switching off just over night sometimes ..

So I've been looking around ..
N9? .. rather hard to get here
N950 ? ... even more difficult to get
some Android phone? Currently been thinking .. the Samsung note with the pressure sensitive Pen sounds nice - it is "huge" compared to most phones, but I don't mind that that much ..
(Windows Phone or iPhones are out of the question for me ^^ )

Currently I'm prolly mostly in favour of the Samsung Galaxy Note due to the fact it has a pen (I like that I can write/doodle more accurately -- e.g. on a Kanji recognition software since I'm learning japanese , ...)

That made me wonder .. which phone are other Maemo fans getting after the N900 ?

None, the only people left here are the Nxxx hardcore. When I eventually run out of N900s I will do a 'den in the USA' and go for the tablet/dumbphone combo. Hopefully by then there will be a dumbphone small enough to be a wris****ch.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I've recently 'replaced' my N900 with a Samsung Galaxy SII which seems to fulfil my day to day needs based on a couple of day's usage.

Having said that, my N900 will still get used at home with the sim removed. It works fine as a Skype phone/ssh client to my home PCs/etc. (Basically, the same kind of functionality & usage as earlier Nokia internet tablets.) As a bonus, the battery seems to last ages with no sim!

I wanted a "fresh" reply of the people who still have a N900 now not an old thread

I'm not sure what would be eating my battery .. I even got rid of most of the hildon widgets .. only thing that might run is the battery monitor . ^^

the problem is that it is rather hard to get here .. especially in shops. There are a couple on ebay for around ~200€ but most are used and I'm not sure if I want to pay that if the only real problem I have is my battery
