I loved my N900. I wish I could have kept it. But T-Mobile is a deal breaker for where I live, so it was sold in order to fund the purchase of a N8. I wish Nokia had gotten on the pentaband radio bandwagon just a little earlier...

Nokia's Fear of Failure
Originally published in the gdgt newsletter, sign up at http://gdgt.com/newsletter/ As I'm sure you probably heard by now, last week Nokia’s board of directors took the long overdue step of replacing its CEO and installing Stephen Elop from Microsoft as the head of the company. Everyone had been talking for months about how outgoing CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo was in trouble, so this development wasn’t exactly shocking, but given how moribund Nokia’s been lately it also wouldn’t have...

IzzehO on the internet tablet talk forums has posted a how to for getting pretty damn good N64 emulation working on the Nokia N900.
Here are some samples I took: Starfox64: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVT56BpUOkk Goldeneye: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s7OV0RSjUg

Has anyone out there seen a good guide for installing MeeGo on the N900? Interested in giving it a try.

Well my phone stopped connecting to T-Mobile today, I was unable to recive phone calls and could not connect to data.
I call them (T-Mobile's customer service is awesome) and after trying out my G1 and that not working ether, they say its probably the SIM card. I'm going to a T-Mobile store soon to get a new one. Wish me luck guys! Has anybody heard of this happening before? Is it something about the N900 or the fact that the SIM has moved between phones? Because all that seems insane to me.
Today was a real eye-opener for the N900.
I juggled around two dozen Skype IM and SMS conversations, more individuals through emails and even more through live voice with a multi-party conference call placed through my central exchange and then routed to Skype... Simultaneously, from one handset - on the N900. That's an active conversation between ~40 individuals at one point, which I was managing entirely while hunched over one tiny handset. At first, I was actually wondering how I was going to handle this - then everyone's...

Opera released an unsupported Opera 10 for N8x0 and N900. It has quick scrolling, tap to zoom, and websites serve up the mobile version to it.
I think this greatly enhances the usability of the old N800 which is still paying dividends today. http://labs.opera.com/news/2010/05/11/

Is there a way to completely wipe the N900? Like factory reset it, with all data wiped off?
I can't find anything in settings, and the one wipe I was able to do kept much of my data (like my contacts) on it.

I am astonished.. Having tried but not owned an iPhone and Android (1.6) device prior getting the n900 i can say i choosed the correct phone for me.
It does everything i normally do on my computer and more. Even if it doesn't have a lot of apps the one's i need are there. I do not need 20 different flavors of the same program. I need one that do the job. The openess of the OS also makes the possibilities endless. It has the best web experience comparing the others and has a decent camera. I like the analogue keyboard and stylus. It makes better use of precious space on the screen and looks better. No need for big ugly buttons. The...

So I finally voted this as my main phone, i.e. the phone I'll be putting my main mobile number on.
Reasons being: Most stable and easily controllable comms stack in comparison to the other phones I'm using right now (Droid, iPhone, HD2), most usable as a general communicator (IM, Skype, SMS, etc), and least call drops / intelligible speech in marginal areas. The Skype integration is actually particularly good, and I find myself using Skype when out and about a lot more since I got the N900. I still feel though as a smartphone this lags well behind others in many respects. There are many...

Front Facing Camera for... Google Talk? Other chat apps?
Any idea on what video conferencing applications will support the front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera for a video call? Maybe Google Talk will be updated for such functionality? And will it require the bandwidth of a 4G connection, or perhaps also work while on 3G?

MeeGo
I keep seeing things that seem to imply that the N900 will get a MeeGo upgrade at some point. I hope that the N900 doesn't get left in the dust.

Why Maemo isn't Nokia's WebOS?
Maemo 5, computer power in you pocket. At least that's what Nokia claims. Seeing the news hit this morning that the N900 is being dual booted got me to thinking. Maemo 5 was supposed to be the beginning of a new era in mobile platforms. Sure, every mobile OS now a days seems to throw around this monstrous claim, but I was, perhaps overly, optimistic about Maemo 5. Looking at where the N900 is now though I can't say that it has left much of an impression on anyone. Even the gadget...

Nokia challenges Americans to hack/mod the Nokia N900
Hey Everyone, For those who don't know me - or just haven't looked at my bio - I work for Nokia and wanted to let everyone know we're running a contest around the Nokia N900 called PUSH N900 MOD IN THE USA. The jist of the contest is simple - come up with something ANYTHING creative that you'd want to make out of the Nokia N900. It could be as simple as a universal remote control or as complex as using the N900 as the brain of a fully functioning robot. Submit an idea by yourself...
