Today, during a seminar, the instructor is talking about measurement. He suggest we can try ourselves by using a free download tools for iPhone. Instantly, I saw the next chair who started flipping icon pages of her iPhone then typing in wording to search. Pops out installation command. Although failed twice, third attempt completed installation at last. It’s only a minute or 2 by her skillful finger. Vola! nice and fast meter is there ! reading live measurement

App is where value shines. Not mind for free

I will say Fuld’s review is pretty true. But how one perceives has to relate with his situation back and forth.
I was fortunate to read this when searching the way to input 2nd language (MSCIM) which bug.

At the age iphone’s launching has actually added pleasure to general public user by advanced functionality (at the time) , plus what everyone adictted to STYLE.

To me, iphone is a luxury mirror if I can’t go to restroom, since I am tech type and not interested to movie-music-game-chat. Once saw the browsing, I have never bother to know.

I never used anything before and I though netbook or ipad will be my destiny until I read this review with N900 on hand. Blackberry seems acceptable for office work but personal requires more.

N900 come to me as a gift and not for return. I start playing it. Starting is difficult (everything is) to me eventhough display & sound is not bad. Something however starts in my heart, calm, or comfort, or peace because ‘what I hate’ to see is not showing. First thing I try is browsing with WiFi and expecting crab pages and crash…. You know the story then. N900 can replace PC to surf.

So, I end up writing response here. Even the bug is not yet solved, I am happy a digital tool can give reasonable purpose to me.

Multitask, I mean not repeating same job. Reality is different type of things happening. So, I google info, youtube songs mv, yahoo local news, yahoo webmail & attaching, bluetooth file, checking update, install, config’n setting, photographing.

… and ,for someone, to fackbook, twitter

Finally, may be system cache is clean, it has not crashed so far.

Pls try not use it as phone but a replacement of internet PC. Then it will be a handy pocket digital on wearing. Keep the battery and style to a wider choice of handphone

resistive screens are NOT last generation. they are far better for precision, which is very handy for such a high res screen. have you ever had trouble hitting a button on iphone or accidently hitting some other button next to it, because you only have the choice of using a huge finger? you can use our finger, finger nail, stylus (in respective order of precision) on n900. As always nokia made the right decision for its users not just the fashionable one…ifags

vs. android: n900 is underclocked for battery life and heat by default. you can ‘overclock’ with same if not better battery life (due to simultaneous underclock when idle) and slightly warmer by installing an overclock patch (on n900, hacks are made to order).

n900 is the informed and intelligent user’s dream machine. stick with ur over-marketed, overpriced ifascist and and-fag-droid, you predictable mindless bandwagon b*tches

my last phone was a £10 job so I dont see why everyone is complaining about its thickness, its hardly what i’d call chunky! it needs that slight thickness to store its keyboard anyway.. im not so keen on ultra thin efforts. a bit retro for me, then. my last phone was a £10 effort so perhaps im not the best for review, but it is a good phone, excellent for browsing online and watching movies, radio etc on. my only complaint is that its screen could be (arguably) slightly bigger, and its missing an fm radio (athough thats downloadable, and it does have internet radio anyway). my biggest problem at the moment is that networks which require you to use symbols to check your balance may not work yet, and if the phone is off, u may not receive messages at all (both of these are primarily vodafone issues which need to be solved FAST). thanks

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I was wondering about the differences between the iPhone and the N900 – good timing! My son bought an N900 a couple of months back and he’s enjoying every minute. Looks likely to be my next phone too.

App lovers and supports are missing a vital piece of information: Apple designs their devices around the business model of *forcing* you to make additional purchases for your device. Look at the iPhone or an iPod – You have to buy music or apps through THEIR service to put on YOUR device. Hence why the iPhone, which is NOT I repeat NOT a smart phone, has been made into the dumbest phone on the planet because “out of the box” it can’t even do more than my three year old N82. The iPhone *needs* apps to be functional, without it is basically useless.

A true smart phone or mobile device is a stand alone product that needs little to be useful, with apps only adding to its feature set, not completing it.

I love my N900, I am upset with Nokia that they cannot do what Apple has perfected over the years; polishing a device and making it the best UI or experience around. If Nokia could do that and keep their open and forward thinking, ignoring the stupid short-sighted people here in America, they could be doing a lot better for themselves.
