I'm in a very unusual situation now in that I have misplaced my N810 in my house, and my N800 suddenly won't boot!

So, this seems to be a good time to go cold turkey and kick the habit.

LOL, I've been trying to go cold turkey for a couple months (broke my 810's screen) -- it isn't easy living w/o my n810.

Since the N900 doesn't support CDMA (my cell provider) it might be a waste for me. I'm not switching cell providers as the provider I'm with has the best reception where I live. I'm "hoping" either a CDMA version will come out; or a tablet version will come out. Otherwise, I'm sol.

Yet another argument in support of providing a sync-dependent tablet...

I had a paranoid friend (who ended up in Camarillo, a mental institution), who told me that the mafia had put a radio transmitter in the LSD he took and were broadcasting his thoughts and were after him.

I think that's more perfect.

How might the N900's vibration function will be used (assuming there is one)?


YARR!

Force feedback when using it as a dancing wiimote.

Here here! Exactly my situation... and I'm not interested in changing providers. I've been shouting that all along but I increasingly feel like the attitude will be, 'then don't use the radio'.. can I also not PAY for the damned part I'll never use?

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. i.e. Calling someone paranoid doesn't necessarily mean it's an unwarranted paranoia.

Silent notifications I assume. I'm sure any program can call to it. J2ME games have been using plain ol' cell phone vibrators for years.

Now back to flogging this poor horse...

@pb... in all the time that you have used the tablets have you ever had to buy an application?

I bought my N800 on day one because of the hardware. It was the same reason I bought an iPAQ a year before that. I had a company supplied phone and I found a way to tap into its always on internet connection. Once the manufacturer offered BT phones I knew what I needed.

The thing is my first BT handheld device the iPAQ ran WinMo 2003. That OS was obsolete within a year and the iPAQ's hardware could not run the newer version. On top of that I was nickeled and dimed for about another $200, in addition to the $400 purchase price, for simple apps to give me weather, a scientific calculator, a decent file explorer, and utilities that should have been included with the dang OS in the first place.

With my N800 the OS has had major upgrades 3 times and with the exception of the truly worthless Navicore (Wayfinder) app, I have spent absolutely nothing for my software. Over 450 titles are maintained and Nokia could cease to exist tomorrow and I'm pretty sure Mer development would stay on schedule...

That's a pretty good payback for being a pay for play beta tester if you ask me.

Of course YMMV
