Guys y u shout for ur brands? Im a phone lover I like any phone with good features..In N900 the only crap I see is the lack of MMS facility..Others r awesome bt I wish for 1500mah battery and 8MPXl cam would have been great,bt it doesnt matter it stil is very gud..
And guys check in u tube about the newest application creatd from N900 crew,its open source if u hav gud sence in computer languages u can do miracles with it..Its somethng that other phones doesnt have..also 2GB application memory!! Isnt it awesome? Even Omnia HD has 256(not ram ok)..
Its rediculous to compare diz with normal mobile phones..
With this phone in hand nothing is impossible..

Android is not open source, thats why there's all the hype with maemo. Android isn't flexible at all It's as flexible as google wants it to be and there is no developer community for the OS since it's closed source.
Also Maemo is on it's 5th edition & quite tested while google are the newcomers to the game.
Anroid stretches on weak HW platforms while iphone has it's good cpu that allows decent apps. But still both are closed source.That is boring.
You must realise that with maemo we talk about usb hosting and multitasking capabilities while apple and android are not able to run more than one application at once without sending the other ones in stand-by.
Maemo on the other hand allows any imaginable customization including dual booting becuse it's open source. As for office I know nokia said smthg about some editor and the maemo team is porting some other editing stuff. I wouldn't be surprised to see open office runing on it some time soon.
Either way the fact is that the OS is the main thing ab this device; i hate it has a keyboard and a stupid stylus. WASTED SPACE.

Anonymous, 03 Oct 2009N900 will send MMS and it will work vertically. Prototype v... moreYou must be on off the beta tester Nokia sheep.
I notice that aside from the inability to send MMS, that there are no document editors for Maemo, where is QuickOffice?
This is an untested platform that will only appeal to the most rabid Nokia sheep, the ones who turn a blind eye to Nokia's shortcomings!
Don't forget Android is also based on Linux so is just as flexible as Maemo, of course they can't hope to compete with the full blown Unix of iPhone OS.

N900 will send MMS and it will work vertically. Prototype versions can't be counted.
Android on the other hand streches on so many low end phones that ever seeing quality multimedia apps and even games on it will never happen.
It's just as smbian where developers create apps that run on ALL available devices so it's useless that i8910 omnia hd or satio have the same hardware as iphone or n900 since developers will have to ensure a lame compatibility with the not-so-bright devices that run android.
As for apps, have you checked a FEW maemo repositories? the apps are hundreds that were already ported from older maemo versions.
This time google messed it. Wait for the next android, and ofcourse buy the new devices it will come on, maybe by breaking some of the compatibility some decent apps will finally show up:)

Android has more applications than Maemo, document editors for one thing, you don't have to use it sideways most of the time AND it WILL send MMS.
Another half finished Nokia experiment to be lapped up by the beta testing Nokia sheep...

Anonymous, 02 Oct 2009Yeah right, at least they have some cool trademarks and the... more"It's like comparing a car to a truck". Both have their own purpose and a truck certainly has more hp... N900's size is justified and or much bigger than ex. n97.
As for moto I don't see them catching up by releasing a phone funded by google + verizon... Since when was a carrier sponsored phone a good phone? never seen one yet. As for android... that "OS" is years behind, it should be rather called firmware than "OS". As with symbian due the number of devices it already runs on, all the apps will be built according to the one with the lowest spec; don't expect to see much entertainment there. Such a new "OS" and already so old... sooo sad :))
And there again we have open source vs you get what google & verizon want's you to get, so really fanboys of any kind posting same HW specs, are. quite. boring.
The key behind N900 is the OS and not even if a device with better specs would show up, would it be interesting.
If your car has a speed limiter it's pointless for you if it says 200 and only reaches 100.
That's where other devices stand against N900.
P.S.
And to shortly blow your mind, if that battery has that much mAh it probably has a really low C-rating thus having a long standby and practically no real life usability. Wouldn't be the first crappy mistake seen from moto.
ByeByeMoto!

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Yeah right, at least they have some cool trademarks and their designs are way more funkier than this bricks! Yuck! And by disgusting keyboard formation you were talking about this piece of brick, right? Cause those tiny plastic keypads with only three rows looks ridiculous! And you saying "soon expired fans" is really really getting old and so corny. Get a new act!

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I was just saying how the phone has no real upgrades and suddenly you blab something about the X2. WTF? And why compare this to an X2, that's just really st*p*d. And no matter what you say, this phone still has a weak camera, weak, battery, and it will always be heavy!! And that is a fact! And about the X2, that was just an opinion of yours and is not a fact!

Wtf when will nokia learn?
I loved my HTC phones. they have lovly big space for the qwerty keyboards but i dont lik how they had a lot of finger actions for touch screen and that they were powered by windows so i went to nokia for the 5800, it had great music playa and speakers and cool texting modes. but i wasnt really sure since it was the first touch screen nokia has made, there might be bugs. so i waited then
Ta Da!! here comes the nokia N97.
i loved the quality of how it looked, nice slide action sadly not change-able and only 3 rows of qwerty board not 5 or just 4 like how most of complaints and tips nokia was getting.
So nokia got a lot about that and well i bought the nokia n97.
it was fine i liked the good battery it like plays music for like more than the hours it says, it was LOUD!! and i like its class. camera 7/10, calling etc 8/10.
Anyway i dont really lik the 3 rows
So now nokia still makes a 3 rowed fone and still it has harded and smaller keys, that as a fone tester said ″The qwerty buttons just dont feel safe and they dont bring comfort.~
But wen ur texting with the n97 and ur in the market or wateva and you have to text and walk, u have to put the fone at an angle so u can see the screen and qwerty keys since the screen so angled I hate how its not change-able. its so frustrating.
So this fone looks lik it could possibly be an improvment but only 1 way 2 find out!

If u have any Questions.

Well after spending the whole day on N900/Maemo... here are some things i would like to share...
Maemo 5 (Fremantle/2009) Debian (Linux) based OS with Hildon (touch optimized) UI (GNOME Framework/Ubuntu Mobile). Linux is well known from plently of software being free and open sourced, so access to existing projects to port is virtually unlimited. With 800x480 resolution it doesnt even need re-optimization for mobile device, only porting to maemo is needed.
Though it should be worth mentioning that Maemo is still not up-to-the-mark and is growing pretty fast.
Some of the -ves of the N900 are as below:
- It doesn't have an onboard FM-radio (3rd party??) even though it offers an FM-transmitter
- lacks support for MMS :-o
- The display needs a protective screen as resistive screen is prone to scratches
- surprisingly it does not have a digital campass...???
- no software for office documents
The N900 positives:
+ quad band GSM/3.5G (10/2 Mbps)/WiFi (54Mbps)/VoIP/IM
+ 3.5"/800x480/TFT 16M screen
+ great sunlight legibility
+ full-blown support for multiple home screens
+ task manager supports live multitasking (vista-like)
+ kinetic scrolling all around, gesture support
+ Maemo5 offers a very feature-rich phonebook
+ phonebook integrates live online services - skype/gTalk/Ovi
+ DivX/XviD support right out of the box
+ charges over USB
+ browser supports Flash/AJAX/JS
+ Maemo supports various languages packages right out of the box
+ user can pick two input languages and switch between them while typing
+ user can make use of two predictive input dictionaries respectively
+ SMS messages are arranged in the form of a chat (gmail-like threads)
+ fully functional email client (HTML/Rich Text) on the go
+ PDF Reader/ RSS Reader on the go
The N900 hardware:
+ TI OMAP3430 Core (ARM Cortex-A8 CPU@600MHz, PowerVR SGX530 GPU@430MHz, TMS320C64x DSP/ISP)
+ 256MB RAM, 768MB NAND VM
+ 256MB (root) + 2GB (/home/opt) storage for apps
+ 32GB (default storage) + 16GB (eMMc)
+ sports DAC33 audio chipset
+ 5MP f/2.8 (Autofocus/Carl Zeiss) Cam, WVGA (848x480, 16:9 @25fps) video
+ Java acceleration and OpenGL ES2.0 Support
+ pixel shader/vertex shader hardware
+ A-GPS (using TI/OMAP Navilink)
+ bluetooth 2.1 (+EDR/A2DP/AVRCP/FTP)
+ has an IR port... hmm... remote control?? eh?
