I got mine from chicago flagship store today since I had my name down on the list!!! This phone is eye candy...not so much innovative but it does what it does PERFECTLY!! THE FULL FLASH SUPPORT is amazing. If you log on facebook through the website you can actually chat on it!! So far so great!

              is reviewing different and unique gadgets certainly your thing or is it just because it's a Nokia phone? why not review MOTOROLA DEXT or MOTOROLA MILESTONE. THAT would be MORE exciting since the latter is powered by the latest Android. why gsmarena, why?

                i am not quite with the gsmarena team , sure the design is not innovative enif , but the UI is dafinatly the one of the best out there , infact Mameo came reall close to beat Iphone OSX in some ways it does beat iphone . and i dont get the idea of comapring this to dorid or HD2 . since we all seen a lof anroid and WinMob , yes the andoid looks cool enough but itz been out there of @least quite long time and ddint feel like threading the Iphone despite it a powerhouse itself.

                The Biggest disadvantage of Andoid is , its not a multimedia power house by any means , yes ofc way more people centric than iphone but
                iphone did nt even had MMS , but still a History . coz it got great Mulitmedia features . But unlike Android Mameo is gud enif to be a multimedia monster , infect it does give great deall of competion , mind you it plays non converted viedos ( great edition coz converting a 700 mb film take so long in my lap ) . So Mameo gives a Great competition to Apple .

                But is Nokia N900 best device out there or is it better than Iphone , well datz a hard question to answer , bcoz there is not a peacfic device thr . each had itz puls and mines .

                        Nice slim review.

                        On your full review, I would like to see you all elaborate more on:

                        1- Video. xvid and h264. This is very important to me.

                        2- Audio, both the music player (MP3 and AAC) and the FM. How is the FM receiver and transmitter? What about that 3rd party requirement?

                        3- How fast is the GPS (not the A-GPS)?

                        4- If you can, could you check if there is a terminal app with SSH client on it?

                        I guess that's all to me.

                        Thank you!

                                "...but then again all those features rarely come in much smaller packages..." - What about Motorola Droid? But N900 still rocks!

                                    Another thing I'd like to see in the review is the video playback capability? Specifically, can it play AVI?
