Computer that has a phone in it,
by Raj, 2010-07-31

This is one of the best mobiles I have ever used. It has got everything in it right from full fledged web browser to voip calling contacts. The make of the phone is very stylish and rich but a bit bulky. But its the smallest computer!

The features like integrated voip calling from phone book contacts, FM transmitter are very helpful for techies. Wi-fi and 3G speeds are the best of industry. The only drawback is the battery life. It should have got a better battery life to exploit the market share of smart phones.

This is the computer which has a phone within it for people who do not bother about the battery life and has access to power all the times.

 

n900 vs iphone 3g,
by battousai, 2010-07-29

both phones have nice touch screen interface. n900 comes with a qwerty keyboard. n900 maemo5 is a multi-tasking operating system that allows you to open multiple applications simultaneously. iphone os operating system only allows single apps open at one time. you can open only one app while taking a phone call. n900 you can edit/attach/send documents. i havent tried attaching documents in iphone 3g. n900 you make make video calls. iphone 3g doesnt. n900 is much more priced for a smartphone but definitely has more functionality of a mobile computer unlike the iphone 3g which can only play media files besides making phone calls or sending messages. n900 and iphone 3g can handle 32g albeit iphone becomes more expensive. n900 built-in camera uses carl zeiss lens with flash and can record both pictures and movies. iphone 3g takes pictures but only plays movies. although iphone 3g has more apps in the market, new data shows maemo and android are gaining more developer support and will eventually take over iphone apps market sooner or later.

 

Good Product. Few Glicthes.,
by N900er, 2010-07-29

The N900 is a good phone, and quite a nice break from all the other phones on market with copied UIs all over the place. But how long will the refreshing after taste last, only time will tell.

The performance and UI is impressive, but here are a few glitches with the device you should know before you buy:
1. Battery life looks horrible, esp. if you keep WiFi turned on. Will update if it improves as it acures with usage.
2. If you plug-in the head-set (provided), typing with your right hand becomes uncomfortable.
3. The first row of keys on top should have had more space above. Limits your finger movement.
4. There should have been a shift key on the right side too. May have to pause if you have to type upper case 'Q', 'Z' etc.

But, inspite of all of the above, the N900 is still a great product.
Plus, for me, the greatest puller is that the specs are open as is the OS. Future OS upgrade to MeeGO is possible (without Nokia support that is). Compare that to Android phones where you have to wait for the manufacturer to release an update (unless you have a Dev phone).

Looks like the prices have been slashed by $50, a week since I bought it :(

 

9/10,
by T. ANH NGUYEN, 2010-07-25

The only thing I hate about this one is the ridiculous battery life, using smaller battery than E71 :| That's why I just sold it, luckily, for $400 :D
Best for T-Mo users.

 

Excellent device but not perfect,
by W. Beckles, 2010-07-23

This is a powerful device. It has all the features of a high end smartphone for half the price. If your know your way around Linux then you'll find you can take a beyond what its advertised to do.

Pros
- Does what its advertised to do
- Can do much more than its advertised to do if you are a techie
- Nice transitions and effects
- Hardware keyboard is excellent and uses regular PC shortcuts like ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste
- Nice sharp screen
- Very nice camera, quality amongst the best phones out there
- Sync software can do automatic syncs over bluetooth, set and forget.
- Battery lasts forever (if you're not constantly using GPS)
- Screen is quite accurate and responsive, no need to use the stylus.

Cons:
- Not a large app world and quite a few are for technical ppl
- Kinda slow if some areas (app manager for one)
- Doesn't always stay connected to my Pioneer car deck, sometimes I have to switch the deck off (turn car off) and back on again. Rear but annoying.
- Lock/unlock key is in an awkward position
- Very limited sound profile setup and they are just 2 profiles: Silent and Normal
