Nokia N900 review: A new hope

26 November 2009
It’s crystal clear by now that the Nokia N900 has almost nothing to do with the traditional Nseries values. The full QWERTY side-slider may look similar to its double-digit mates but the Maemo experience is completely different...

Nokia N900 is not for regular phone users at least even in 2019 I am still running my nokia N900. I manage all my servers from this phone both Linux and Windows servers alike. I have written apps for my own use alone for the N900. The phone is a linux machine running from the palm.

                          keflex, 23 Jan 20111. It does NOT support video calls on 3G (not to be confuse... moreSurprising to see the extent to which even reputed companies like Nokia can go to mislead users. While thier battery of agents and PR firms are doing what they are told to do by Nokia, it reflects bad on them that to sell their phone they can mislead people to this extent. We all know that tecjnically, its impossible to have vieeo calls over 3g network and that the front camera simply doesnt woek, still, nokia agents are making such tall claims.
                          SHAME ON NOKIA AND THEIR PR GUYS!

Even Nokia acknowledges that this is NOT possible....why are you misleading the prospective buyers? Please give the exact link as to how to make a Video call over a 3G network (NOT Skype calls over 3G)...

Happy with my Android now - wish, I had ignored these Nokia guys earlier...thanks for your comments anyway.

                                  I'm hoping that someone can help me here, i purchased a brand new Nokia N900 on the 17th/03/2010 and i was very happy and pleased with my choice especially since i have been a Nokia mobile fan for over 13 years, just 2 days ago my N900 stopped detecting my sim card and a message appeared on the screen stating " all telephony functions,including emergency calls, are disabled due to a communication error, to recover you might have to reboot the device" and i have tried that many times, i also tried cleaning my sim card, i went to vodafone and i got a new sim card but the problem persists, i put my sim in my friend's nokia c7 and it works fine so its not the sim's fault. is this a hardware problem or a software one? any help is highly appreciated, BTW I'm located in NZ

                                    Nokia N900 is unique in terms of physical appearance and chrome edging calls for very less competition from other smartphones in the market. Operating system is pretty good to along with all the applications. Overall, this phone is a good entry by Nokia.
