WTF! I was talking here, praising the N900.

I was about to buy when I saw it doesn't support __custom ringtones__ (each contact). Can you believe? Many people will be buying it without knowing! After all, you take that for granted on any phone... my ancient 1108 that I still have has that. And it's a __monochrome__ (not grayscale) phone from 2005.

No seriously, now I know why the iPhone has the credit it has. Very limited, but at least it is only launched when it's finished, polished and now it's well supported.

So.... it has über L33T root terminal and more, but no portrait, accelerometer based mode. No SMS and no custom ringtones. What else this $550 phone (shouldn't it be MID?) does not have? What about phone book, LOL!! That would make Graham Bell obsolete, you know?

    Alright, just talked to a T-mobile USA agent, they're not planning to release the Nokia N900 for the next 2 months if ever.
    damn. I'm probably gonna stick with AT&T then.

                          they usually answer quickly.

                              I hope they get all those apps pretty quickly.
                              I think they were just in a hurry to get the phone out.
                              But the beast has an open OS, so it shouldn't be hard to get those little extras.
                              as far as the compass, since I got that e-mail directly from Nokia, i tend to believe it more than the maemo community's discussion.
                              ;)

                                His reviews are pretty straight forward, he's not a fanboy from any brand and he knows what he's talking about.
                                But you can ask him any questions at the end of the review. He usually responds within a day.
                                ;)

                                      Can anyone confirm if N900 can take videos in 30fps frame rate?

                                      I just saw this review from ubergizmo.com

                                      Video: Video capture is done in 848x480 pixels (3.4Mbps, 22.3fps, AAC mono 48kHz), which is way higher than any Android phone that I know of, and superior (in resolution) to the iPhone 3GS, which records in 640x480 at 30fps. In good lighting conditions, the videos are really nice and detailed. In dim lighting, you will be able to see compression artifacts, but overall, the video recording is very good - I just wish that we had the option to trade off resolution for faster frame-rate.

                                        So N900 does have the digital compass!!! cool then, but why recent talks in maemo talk confirms it doesnt have Digital Compass??!!!

                                        i guess, the MMS, video call & the handrecognition will be available through the their party applications via software update,,,,
