                N900, 03 Sep 2009nice post, just answer me, is the auto-rotate available... morestill waiting for perfection?
                n900 is such a strong step forward, can't wait to get one
                but within strong competition and the urge to release more products, heavier packed, things are done in a quick manner, thus not to perfection
                i'm still nostalgic about my SE p910i, so many features, everything working like a charm. it lasted me 4 years that phone, and it's still running in other hands
                i have a good feeling about this n900...

                    just answer me, is the auto-rotate available now in the maemo community? how easy is it to enable it? simple as download and install and run?

                    and can someone answer me, is it confirmed that N900 has FM radio? digital compass, i just need an offical word about it,

                    thannk you and nokia

                    if N900 is a success, we would see more model of it in the near future, just like nokia did with the 5800 and N97 mini, something like

                    N900 capacitive edition
                    N900 music edition
                    N900 with similar N97 design
                    N900 Xenon flash
                    N900 DVB-H

                      Sorry -- maemo.org is the official development community for MAEMO OS for the N900. The people in this community also contributed to the development of the N900. Laymans term: the Nokia N900 doesn't come with auto-rotate 'activated', but it's native possible to make the applications auto-rotate.

                      Maemo has a very active community. Just like downloading a song for iPhone, you can also download a modification for the N900 to make it auto-rotate. I mean, it's true that the N900 doesn't come with auto-rotate built in, but the iPhone doesn't come with tons of applications, mp3's and games; you still need to download it and install it yourself. :)

                      The difference is with Maemo's active community and linux operating system, you aren't restricted to just mp3's, games, and applications from Apple. That's the difference between open-sourced and close-sourced.

                          apple is having a media event on Sept 9, maybe to answer back to Nokia's 4 punch blow but I'm not expecting anything from them specially an iphone with a physical qwerty keyboard so my plan of selling my iphone and buying this phone is inevitable. oh well, the best wins, so N900 wins my money

                                kohiiou, 03 Sep 2009Regarding Portrait mode in N900 MAEMO 5/Freemantle: http:/... moreif it auto rotate as flawlessly as symbian or winmo, then its good, without much mess, your links are mess, lay man like me cant understand that. an update of firmware should come, to make it automatic it self, i guaranty in current scene, without ability to go into portrait phone will be big failure and by default it lacks ability of portrait that's official nokia words.

                                    Modifications to the MAEMO operating system has been done for ages. Since MAEMO is open-sourced, it is easily modifiable to be landscape only to portrait/landscape function.

                                    The MAEMO was originally based on GNOME UI, so it's most likely a Linux build that is easily modifiable to be able to auto-rotate (since there is also an hardware accelerometer in the N900), similar to how desktop linux distributions are capable of rotating to Portrait mode.

                                    MAEMO 5 is the newest build, but MAEMO has been around since 2005 (Nokia N770, N800, and N810). The N900 is just the first to go beyond an Internet Tablet and gain the ability to work as a mobile phone, but as you can see from the website maemo.org, there is a huge community in modifying and building 3rd party functionality and applications into the operating system.

                                    Some people in the community has even ported other distributions of linux, including those built on KDE UI, onto N810s in the past; not only does the N900 have the horsepower, it also has the diversity to grow as both a mobile device and a "mobile computer".

                                      not a disappointment at all, IMO. He clearly stated portrait mode is available for the phone features, which are the only ones I'll be needing portrait mode at. IMO. as for those who wanted to surf the net in portrait mode, it really is a big disappointment.

                                        Seabass, 03 Sep 2009N900 active panel is a rip off sony ericsson x2!?The MAEMO multiple desktop panel of the N900 is not a rip-off of XPERIA's Panels. MAEMO is a full Linux operating system, similar to all the other linux distrubutions available such as PCLinuxOS or UBuntu. MAEMO is based on GNOME interface (there is GNOME and KDE), and both GNOME and KDE had multiple desktop interfaces for ages. Some of the multiple desktop effects of GNOME rival even those of MacOS and Vista, if not better. Also, XPERIA's panels are add-on UIs used to improve the usage of WinMO's native UI, while the multiple desktops of MAEMO are native to it's UI. This means the MAEMO desktop is completely integrated into the OS while XPERIA's UI isn't (more like running a program, such as Windows Blinds, to make it's UI prettier.
