Nokia N900 gets official

I agree… But the 0s might be a pr0blem on my part. Im n0t familiar of it and d0es it supp0rt applicati0ns in .jar, .jad, .sis and .sisx f0rmat lyk symbian?

@raven: java is not listed in the spec page (http://bit.ly/oAXlj) but it is a linux system in essence so somebody would eventually roll out the packages for a full blown java runtime engine on it.

for the other stuff, you can cross-compile from a desktop. or at least some will do as that is what techie people with a lot of spare time do when they start forming communities.

ciao!

cool

Now this is refreshingly new. Will definitely get this phone.

@ron
AFAIK, Hindi nila yata iiwanan ang symbian. Pagsasabayin nila ang Symbian And Maemo. Well, yun yung natatandaan ko dati XD

@john robert very funny comment.

if you’d have to wait for 2 years, i can’t imagine how much longer in my case.

BTW, does Maemo support .jar files?

wifi phone at 35000, hmmm, il check this one out :)

ok lang this december ill get one pangporma lng pangtaob sa mga mayayabang na may cellphone

kahit isanla ko na tatay at nanay ko basta mabili ko lng itong phone at any cost kahit makaaway ko pa ang mga naka n97 d2 sa amin okey lng!!!!!! hehehehehehehe!!!!!!! its the centavos that counts!!!!!!!!!

1 kalabaw + 5 baboy + 10 manok + 10 bibe + mga bakal at bote dyaryo = NOKIA N900

Yess.. I hope the OS isn’t a big let-down.

Although I hope Nokia makes an E series phone with this design. Not a big fan of the E75 with the dual keypads. I just want one with a large screen + QWERTY keyboard. The N97 looked pretty good, too bad the insides were simply not good enough.

if only could nokia follow the lead of apple, sana #1 din sila sa smartphone. wag na kasi gawa ng gawa ng sangkaterbang design napapahinto at nagpapag-isip tuloy ang mga tao kung alin ang bibilhin dapat isang design na lang tulad ng iPhone.. tapos puro 30+K pa ang price

kelan ba lalabas to? ibubugaw ko nalang muna mga malalanding estudyante dito sa comp shop namin para may pambili ako. wahahahahaha!

got to render more ot to get this item :D

bitter amphota kung n97 nga nde nyo mabili n900 pa mahilig lang kayo magdahilan hahaha

Ang yayabang ninyo. Puro hangin lang alam nyo.

sna meron sa CEL Manila Live pra ako mismo ang pipindot…. nangangati na kamay ko na magkaroon nito

Wala pa din. Sana by December meron na nito. :)

if i order this through internet sa tingin nyo magagamit ba yan dito?

Diba flagship ng nokia to.. Like n97.. Kaya malay mo dbA.. Hehe.. Kaya natin to.. Hrap maghintay eh

in nokia online store usa it cost $569 and in amazon it cost $550 and after rebate its $450.

hey guys…if you’re planning to buys this mobile computer..ahem..i mean mobile phone…..go 4 it..
there’s more inside….keep in mind that it’s linux based…… http://blogs.nokia.com/pushn900/ visit this link and you’ll know what I’m talkin’ ’bout….the Maemo team is actually encouraging us to hack n900..if you own this, you’ll get my point..

dadating kaya to sa pinas? inaantay ko na to pangpalit ng iphone 3G ko hehe

it doesnt have portrait mode and doesnt have equalisers at all. maybe in the firmwaare update it will have those.

not worth the money ,.

So is this on the Philippine market yet?

Hey guys ! Well I just bought this in greenhills and it works amazingly ! I text much faster as well and, The camera’s exceptionally well. I love it very much. Don’t buy the N97. I bought it for 35k pero puwede ka pang tumawad sa 34k . Good luck sa inyong lahat ! Work hard ! :)

Haha :D mapapabili na tuloy ako. Punta na ako greenhills. Thanks Filippa. May suggestion ka ba for phone accessories? Thanks.

Ah okay :D Nabili ko na po siya !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grabe =)) Pagdating ko dun, isa nalang pala ang natitira ! Ang daming bumili ! Kaya siniguro ko nang ako yung makakabili. Salamat talaga !!!!

anybody interested in N900? i have one unit here… brandnew, just opened it for testing… complete with nokia warranty… txt me 091587*****

damn this fone looks so cool!! lovin it already! im a bit tired of my 5800 already, and is definitely thinking of a new cp… saw this on the inet and it really blew my mind! plays .avi and .wmv movies! what more can i ask for???

does it have skype/ms office package?? hopefully by mid june or later (really,really.really hoping.. ;| ) i can get this one.. anyone?? can u please tell me if it has skype? ms office??

@Josh Non-tech
from http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/:
* Video playback file formats: .mp4, .avi, .wmv, .3gp; codecs: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, H.263

I emailed Nokia asking if I buy an N900 from the U.S. if it could be serviced in the Philippines if it should have a problem and received a reply stating that it could be taken to a Nokia service center to be diagnosed to determine if there was a problem with the unit but that if it should require servicing the unit would need to be sent back to the country from which it was purchased. I don’t think it is worth it to me to go through the extra trouble of getting an N900 from the states and pay quite a bit extra in the process and then if something goes wrong having to send it back to the states to get it serviced and paying extra to get it fixed. If Nokia doesn’t release it in the Philippines I guess I will be on the lookout for some kind of Android device, that is disappointing to me because I really want the N900.

I check the nokia site and n900 is available in nokia asia. but how come it is not included in the nokia philippines… i really want this phone. sana lumabas na cya sa pinas

ganda naman nito.pero nagbubug po ba ito tulad ng pesteng 5800 ko…mukang maganda nga,,hintay hintay muna bka may mas maganda pa..hahaha

i will buy this phone later

I see where the N900 is now listed on the Singapore and Malaysia websites for preorder. It is listed as being available for preorder in Singapore for around U.S. $715 and in Malaysia for around U.S. $686 and both list it as including the Extra Power DC-11, this is quite a bit more than it is selling for in the U.S.. I wonder how long before the price will drop? If a similar deal is offered in the Philippines I will get one right away and if not I will wait a little while.

Yes it is going to be listed soon maybe today, I just did a search for “N900” and it returns some results which it didn’t do yesterday.

This Beats The iPhone3GS – definitely

Yes I purchased it from the Nokia store at SM in San Fernando over a week ago so it is available but it wasn’t displayed and I had to ask about it. Nokia seems to be taking a low key approach in the compared to other countries.

I payed 30,000 for it but I am sure the price isn’t fixed because I hear one of the other guys there ask the one who sold it to me how much I bought it for. Also went to estation at the SM mall on Clark in Angeles City to see if they had screen protectors or a case to protect it and they said they had sold one earlier the same day for 27,000 so check around but that should give you an idea of how much you will be paying.

Congratulations you got a much better price. I couldn’t really say much about the battery because I haven’t really pushed it hard and don’t really use it much as a phone just more to play so I couldn’t give an accurate estimate as to how the battery would last for typical use with but it does seem to me that it runs down pretty quick.

I have seen where some people have even started over clocking it, Nokia released a great little hobbyist device with the N900.

mura na yung 26,500 dito almost 30k eh http://www.magkano.com/cellphone/nokia_n900_price.htm

and now i’m enjoying my phone again. any questions again about pls. let me know guys. i had the phone since Last Sept. 09

Ang ganda pero mas mahal pa sa laptop ko ang presyo

:(

I have an N900 since November. I pre-ordered it in the USA and waited for it for 2 months. Videocalls are possible by Skype thru 3G and Wifi. 3G is fast here in the USA, I have a friend that came to Manila around January with an N900. Internet is soooooo damn slow with Globe and Smart. Skype calls are almost impossible thru 3G. Surfing is great if you have wifi in the Philippines. If not, mas makupag pa kesa dial-up if you are using the cellular networks (remember, the N900 brings up the actual website, not a mobile website like the iphone).

Battery lasts for 8 hours with minimal use if you are always connected to the internet by 3G (weather widget, skype and pidgin running on the background). I listen to internet radio by wifi for 4 hours at home one time, and the battery level never changes.

I listen to Crossover Manila radio while driving home from work and I live in Washington DC.

If you don’t have a wifi network at home, don’t even bother buying this if you just plan to use Philippine cellular networks, skype/yahoo chat is soooo delayed. You have drop calls thru VOIP by 3G, you can only understand every 3rd or 4th word (believe me, I know!). Surfing by Philippine 3G is out of the question.

Some batches of N900 came with defective USB ports (they get pulled out), some also with defective LCD screens — so better buy it somewhere with good warranty. The screen can easily get scratched more than the iphone, so get a screen protector.

Also, the firmware updates are only for USA and Europe (Nokia knows your IP address), so if you know a workaround, then it would be great. The last update, you need to connect your phone to a computer and USB and log in to OVI.com USA site.

And yes, I watch TV Patrol Regional and TV Patrol World and ANC on my phone. Yes, I can listen to all the online Manila FM stations while I’m driving. And yes it can play DivX files up to 4000 kbps (which is DVD quality), and yes I can plug it in to my TV while doing all these things!

What I don’t like about it, no MMS (an app has just been released by very complicated, you need to have specific parameters for your cell provider). No voice-dialling, no turn-by-turn GPS navigation (though it has a GPS and maps).

is it true na walang portrait mode ang N900??? meaning kapag magtetext ka need mo two hands for fast texting???

update po sana sa price nya… thanks!

I get to watch several youtube videos simultaneously (not the mobile version) on my n900 without lag via Globe 3g. If that is not fast, I must be living in Mars.

Guys, help me decide what to buy… Nokia N900 or Nokia N8…what do u think??

Mozilla Firefox has finally gone mobile! Surprisingly, it isn’t the iPhone or Android which has the honour of being the first platform to house the browser, but Maemo for the Nokia N900.
