I've been using an N900 for about a month now and wish I'd got one sooner. It's such a great device. Many thanks to all the members for building this excellent community.
I bought a second hand N900 recently and received it at the weekend. I have to say I love it! I was using an HTC Hero before this and I just love the fact I have a proper keyboard as I can't stand touch-screens.
I just wish it had a slightly faster CPU.
I am loving Rockbox on it at the moment...such good sound quality :-)
You can overclock the cpu, which helps somewhat. Also look into CSSU Thumb for some performance gains (on the memory side), if you are ok with a "testing" distribution of CSSU. That said, I've been using it since it was released with no issues.
I have been using a n900 for about an year now.I was using an E71 earlier.Buying an n900 was a dream ever since it was released in india.The propsect of a linux computer in my pocket was always exciting. Never had the budget to go for it then since i was in college.Bought it of ebay refurbished and enjoying it every moment.Till day everyone of the problems i experienced have found answers in TMO threads.
I am new in the forum but I've been using the N900 for over a year now and I think that even know (March 2013) it is the best smartphone ever made. It is my first smartphone and I think that it will be my last (only if a manufacturer releases a smartphone with maemo on it, which I doubt). So it will be maemo until the OS dies (and I hope that it will not be too soon) or the phone dies (but I could always buy a used N900).
I would like to thank all the developers for their effort of maintaining maemo alive and all those who help the community.
I've been using the beautiful Nokia N9 for over a year now, and a proud owner of the N8 as well. I have been thinking of getting myself an N900, which I've wanted to for a long time now.
TMO has been an extremely valuable resource! Thank you everyone.
