Nokia N900

Thanks, was hoping for a vid of it running. But looking at that thread, seems like it may take some work to get the n64 emulator running on the phone, until someone complies it all properly anyway.

I jumped the gun a little, people are working on it. (there is a full working version but its too slow at the moment)

Just thought - what are nokias like at supporting line 2 functionality? I have two numbers on my sim, one for work and my personal mobile no...

edit


I was planning on ordering the n900 direct from nokia using the 15% off as I dont need a SIM, Im on Orange and its paid for by work
This would mean shelling out £420 upfront, I can do it, but Im not sure its the best way now after looking at the mobiles direct site..

They have a 12 month contract for the n900 (combi 30) which costs £29.36 a month and an initial outlay of £78 which comes to a total of £430.32, which is £10 more than buying the device outright. No free web access, but not an issue I think..

Im thinking, take this contract, ditch the SIM, use my orange SIM, and then in a year I can upgrade for a much cheaper price to the n950 or whatever..

If I buy the phone direct from nokia, I will face having to pay another £450 to upgrade to whatever is the next must have phone in a year to 18 months time

I am presuming that the phone wont be locked to a network, but even if it is, there will be a way to change that :D

Am I thinking right here? Can I have a reality check..

The T-mobile contract deals at mobilephonesdirect do seem to be pretty good.

But if you are prepared to go to 18 months you can do better with the Combi 15 contract. £14.69 per month times 18, plus £140.99, giving a total of £405.41.

(For those who are actually going to be using the SIM card but don't do much talking, the best deal may be Combi 15 + Web'n'walk for £19.57 times 18, plus £112.99, equals £465.25)


Im pretty impressed that you can get a contract cheaper than buying the phone sim free...

This might just be my next phone. Avoided nokia for years now, not liked any of the designs and hated the symbian OS but this might just bring me back. Loving the emulators :D

It will be the iphone 3G S or this, around december time!

Here it is on Pandora (very similar hardware that can be ported to n900.) Not ready yet you can see but looking good!

 
Im waiting for some proper reviews and any final gripes that may appear when people start using it as a phone.

If all is well after that it may be the first time I actually buy a phone handset free :)

Expensive stuff though, so has to be just right!

There a millions about - youtube has quite a few video reviews. the msymbian one is exhaustive. Of course there is no substituting actual experience - maybe wait until its out to give it a try.

awesome:D
 
Its a brick, far to big and chunky imo.

Nice features though but 1320mah?

Wonder how the battery life will be with all that stuff it has!
 
Iphone is thinner but larger in diamentions...

But has a crap screen. For a decent screen, you need decent size, and oh noes, its about 50 gramms more then most other phones, but hey the other phones don't have as many bells and whistles.

At any rate, I do not see this being a phone for joe average at all, but only for linux monkeys... Like me :D. If you want a phone, buy an iphone, its popular with normal people.
