Hi Guys,

I'm really new here, and i'm also excited about the N900, since i was going to buy N97 and all of the issues stop me to getting one.

I never use any Nokia internet Tablet before, nor Maemo OS, but i know my Nokia N95 is still running good after 2 Years and nokia is not yet to disappoint me on their mobile device that i brought.

So, i was browsing the site and looking for available application for Fremantle or OS2009 i suppose? but i cannot find one on the download tab.

So is there any, ATM application for maemo 5 OS?

or i can use any application from the old Maemo OS?

Is it true that the final Maemo 5 OS version is not yet to be released? (will be released with N900)

Is there any other Websites i can go to look for the application?
(there is a lot of application available online in symbian)

is there any application store? or like official application website like OVI and apple store?

i'm sorry if my questions sounds silly but ireally want to know what kind of application i will have or be able to access when i got the phone.

thanks =)

But based on past experience, it's return rates I worry about. We'll see if this really does fulfill the apparent promise.

Texrat, why are you worried about return rates

there is a reason why i dont bother reading said page any more...

Funny, Engadget seemed to be excited about the N900 when reading their blog posts. I didn't listen to the podcast though.

Yup, me too... In fact this is the second or third reference to an Endgadget "podcast" that I've seen on this board alone.

Could it have something to do with driving hits that way?

If it is... it would be another example of a senseless "geek on geek" crime.

Basically they said it sucks because it's resistive, and that the Nokia design (device, logo, font and whatnot) is several years behind. They *kind of* said Maemo holds potential (manage to mispronounce it even though one guy actually tries to say it correctly), but absolutely no detail as to why do they think it's so. They also make a clueless comments about Symbian (it runs Symbian apps, right ? Umm, yea, it probably virtualizes it somehow... I guess). Peppered with a few internal jokes that's about it.

The stuff they said held zero, ZERO connection to what they wrote (or paid someone to write) in the engadget articles.

The N900 was launched on Thursday so the weekend excuse is just lame.

The N900 is huge news in the technology world- the launch of a "new" OS from the world's biggest mobile phone manufacturer - and not to cover it is either total incompetence or deliberate bias.
