Yes it did, thanks. I have the stuff to send it back- just need thereturns number now. I've taken advice and emailed Karl about it. I know he won't be there today, but if he gets back to me tomorrow I can send it off asap.

that's a very big question!

Is your question more like - How does skype integrate with the N900, and how is it used in this context?

Skype integrates with the phone function, so if you add a skype address into your contacts, and register your skype on the phone, you can see when people are online and skype them just as though you are calling them.

Skype messages appear in conversations, just like a text message

Having had over 24 hours of using it pretty solidly, I can't seem to fall in love with it.

Having come from an iPhone, I hate to say it as I really dislike Apple, but I think the iPhone is better.

Obviously the N900 has it's advantages, better camera, ability to expand memory, detachable battery. But then the Media player is not as good (could do with better Podcast and Audiobook intergration). The screen doesn't feel as natural as the Capacative one on the iPhone. Also Ovi Maps is a bit poo to be honest. Would also love an indicator on my desktop icons to show how many emails or texts I have, but can't seem to find a way of doing so??

I really want to love the N900, I really do. But find myself wondering whether I should swap it for a iPhone 3GS 32gb.....

What to do, what to do...

Must say the slide out keyboard is an absolute joy to use and that's coming from someone with big fingers!

hehe i agree

The iphone argument allways depends on the person... i would love a mix of both... usability of the iphone V the Power of the n900 + abilities....

I couldnt personally goto the iphone.... it just desont have the things i need + keyboard, camera is too low for me, and the multi-tasking i really enjoy

Loving the built in fm transmitter too

You can track your order on the MPD/NR site by logging in and going to track order. That should give you a status update.

My battery kinda sucks... I don't even have a SIM in... is it because it auto connects to my WiFi at home?

Quick question.

Recieved the phone a few days ago (perfect). I had to pay £89.99 for the phone but I've not been charged. Should I expect someone to call me asking for payment or will it be incorporated into my first months bill?
