Actually I think some of you on here can be really quite nasty and intolerant.
Before you all start shouting that I should have done my research I researched for hours and was calling vodafone every day desperate to get this handset.
I am getting more and more fed up with my N900 by the day, at the lack of the most simplest of features and its got to be the most unfriendry device ever to use.
If it hadnt been free as part of my package I would be serioulsy offended to spend so much money and have such a crap media player and no basic post it notes etc.

None of my research told me I was going to have to use terminal, understand codecs, flash my phone blah blah blah.

Why are so many people defending this grossly unfinished device? I havent found anything yet that my n95 cant do almost as well and simpler. In fact many things on my N95 are better.

There is sooooo much jargon and acronyms on here and if people dont understand things they are sometimes labelled trolls.

English is my first language, I'm pretty computer literate and I'm really struggling.
Cut a bit of slack guys and stop the secret society code like games.
We have been driven to this site as there is naff all else in the way of support, so please could you try and be patient and help, as help is what people are here for, not name calling and abuse.

rant over

business network

How about these issues??

1. Stuck pixels
2. Creaking sound while pressing some part of the screen
3. Gap at the bottom edge of the device

All the above were discussed in this forum and unfortunately my device suffers all these so just wondering if any one by any chance got rid of these issues..coz I want to believe that I dont have to live with these throughout the life of my n900 and as its not released in Australia I can't take it to nokia care either.

Okay prabhatkumar, have you contacted your business network administrator about getting access to the WLAN for your N900, or are you used to all your 802.11b/g/n/a devices being able to connect to the Wlan with little or no effort?

Did you people even read #9 and #10? And now, for the first time, they're asking about CISCO WLAN connections? Here's a quarter; he/she/it is fuucking with you. This isn't a language barrier, it's an a*shole.

MP4 is supported out of the box.
MKV is supported via one of the plugins from extras (edit: "Extra Decoders Support")

I suspect your problem is that your MP4/MKV files contain an unsupported video type (probably H.264/AVC Main Profile).

I transcode these files using handbrake. You can probably play them directly by installing mplayer, but they'll be unwatchably slow unless they're tiny.

haha this is fun Seriously guys, freaking kindergarten here: If you continue this, we would need to rename the thread to troll land! If you suspect a troll > simpy do not answer! Ignore the thread, others who give a simple reply will step in or the "troll" will start using the Search Option since no help/support has been offered.
