best answer would be appreciated but please if only you are a nokia n900 user
i am thinking about getting myself a nokia 900 these days, the things thats are keeping me hesitated are:
1- after some time of real day to day usage is the phone ok?, i mean with sliding phones there is almost always some kind of failure either in the spring mechanism or sliding part becomes loose etc
2- is there a way to keep the phone clean, a protective hard shell or something of that sort?
3- whats all the fuss with meego vs maemo, i googled the whole thing and it appears that latest meego doesnt run smoothly and even it doesnt allow certain functions with the phone, whats the need for meego
4- is there a stand alone gps on it, not the assisted one that needs 3g connection, i mean like nokia e72 "with my relative" he got the maps downloaded and any time gps is needed no need to connect to the netwrok at all
5- what about word, powerpoint, and excel on the n900, i didnt notice anything for that matter, and isnt there pdf reader installed by default?
6- whats the need for overclocking
7- can phone battery get me through the day with some browsing over wifi or 3g, an hour or so of video play back and of course some games?
8- it has been long time since the device hit the markets, is it a safe choice to buy it now, specially with all the gossips about a newer device?
9- do you regret buying it?
============================
i have the nokia n72 in front of me these days and its really ok considering speed and very comfortable keyboard, i know meamo differs than symbian but what i am saying here is i got alternative
nokia n97 mini was ok with me but with all the bad reviews out there i stopped thinking about it, the new nokia c6 is a btter replacement for the n97 mini i guess
i hate i phone, it even makes me sick so please no one tell me i phone, same goes for blackberry
i need to set my mind on one of the above phones
nokia n900
nokia e72 " if it is not a good choice to buy n900 these days"
by the way i am familiar with linux and i really like the whole idea behind the n900 but i need the help of n900 owners to make my final decision
