Man this phone is awesome. I downloaded the sega emulator the other day and I'm playing those epic sega titles. They are so much fun seriously.
Btw wanted to ask does anybody know what is the price of the "gamegripper" for n900 in pakistan? saw a video of it on youtube and thought it would be great to have it.

ikr? But I can play those on Symbian, Windows Mobile and Android phones too ^_^
I haven't heard of the gamegripper being sold anywhere but I do believe there is an import service for small items in the PG marketplace. Check it out there.
Ikr :s

I've been a fan of the devices ever since I first used an N800 with the awesome dual SD card slots
Let me just tell you though: Phones don't have/need multiboot. Why would they?
You guys don't have a phone, do you? You've got a small UMPC with some phone features. It isn't that I have the Android for a reason, its because I chose to lol. If it was my money that half-baked box of electronics was very appealing (see my threads on the t.Maemo.o forum) but it wasn't, and so I needed a stable, polished device with some semblance of a future, no matter what features it missed out on.
In exchange for functionality I got practicality: easy one handed texting, a slimmer waistline with much more power, speed, integration with Google services (no OVI nonsense, sorry), and a lightning quick GPS with Google Maps Navigation.
I do regret not having those features but just picking up my phone is enough to make me forget about it.
i'm just pullin your leg here bro ... and you took it a little seriously i guess
giving all sorts of explanations and i didn't know you have N800...
I'll have to agree with the OVI thing but Maemo keeps me happy have all the apps i need
But even if it wasn't your money ... you had the option to buy anythin you liked
so technically you could've bought the N900 ... but maybe it didn't suit your tastes
but i can have Android too... NITDroid is almost about to reach to a stable OS for N900
(Though it still has a lot of things to cover up) and if Meego comes then i guess the problem is solved
hopin for the best and Founder of the Club pray for us to get Meego lol

Believe me if I had the money I would've bought it right now. And I didn't take it seriously, its just that I've seen more that one N900 user act like iPhone users, i.e. show off their device as if it was better than anything else. My somewhat adverse reaction to your post, I apologize for, even if it was a joke.i'm just pullin your leg here bro ... and you took it a little seriously i guess

Oh and I don't own an N800, just used it once and fell in love with Maemo ever since.
Only thing is, I like Android more as a daily use OS and Maemo for a weekend hobby or casual use/backup OS. I see the N900 not as a fully polished product, but as an experiment (a very brave one) from Nokia to see just how much power they can feed the customer and see how they like it. It has its flaws, gaping ones, and its customer support is formed on a forum, but that is what makes it unique. Just not to my tastes for my primary device, is all.
And if by some miracle you guys get Maemo, count me in as an N900 owner.
Android, Windows, Maemo, Meego; what more will this damn box do? Sent from my phone.
lol come on dude we know who is showin off and who is offended by people defending their beloved phones
well i guess we should leave that for others anyway i bought the N900 knowing that this is not a typical touchscreen phone nor polished one
still i use it as a primary devce and i'm happy and i'm gettin my moneys worth ... i have no regrets (thanks to you) and iPhone ppl need to get a life its not about apps at all
it is a phone use it like one don't show off ... i had so many things to show off with my N900 but i didn't coz i don't buy a cellphone for apps and stuff
well i guess we should leave that for others

Yeahh, TOO beloved if you ask me. They just jump out and either insult you personally or your phone, which is laughable.lol come on dude we know who is showin off and who is offended by people defending their beloved phones

You're welcome.anyway i bought the N900 knowing that this is not a typical touchscreen phone nor polished one

And yeah the N900 is very pleasing to use everyday, and you have got more than your money's worth, I should say. But just the usability that Android brings you (and, admittedly, iOS) makes the N900 seem downright cumbersome. Holding it with two hands and poking at the interface elements in places where you've got your hands busy just gets old after a while.
Seriously it's like buying a fancy car, but getting just the shell. Oh yes, lacking seats? Just purchase them from the Store for $9.99! Lacking an engine? No problem! THIS engine is for just $34.99!and iPhone ppl need to get a life its not about apps at all

And they're still so obnoxious about it, as if it "extends the value of their device" and that no other device has ever had applications or folders or video calling.
I've seen very little Android or Maemo forums populated by pre-pubescent children demanding their cracked apps and trash-talking other phones as if their opinion actually matters.
(smugggnesss, you have the only semi-phone that can do Skype video calls
)

did anybody do the app called "mypaint" on the n900?
I was amazed on how that thing works. It also supports pressure sensitive brush and with all those cool brushes.
Must have app for the n900, i think.

it might be awesome for sure but in my pov it ain't useful at all
N900 is more capable than just using mypaint on it

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

faraany3k:
tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
