N900 Nokia, two months later, revisiting

Two months later: adding applications, add debugging

(I) Back to the beginning of January N900 originally.A lot has changed since my honest opinions, as well as device and what is there. "how that N900 has status? the next step is to know!

Hardware, thoughts

I was impressed by the quality of the construction of the first N900 still in the morning.Hardware I consolidate their N900 is the largest, multi-documentation customize. add that at a later time.

The keyboard, I found a lot of "average", although now a little bit better writing speed improved my keyboard, found himself has periodically, and deposit facility will remain unchanged.And when the keyboard is not expressed as I want fingers it, this is one of the better QWERTYs. the ability of Nokia change the maemo platform layout key (also known as hacking) config files is also a bonus.

Your thoughts on software

If I can best summarize the maemo platform 5, the user interface and N900 property as set out by one word, the word is in progress.I say this, the first reason is basic, which will still execute. for example:

Portrait modeMMSFront camera supportCustom ringtones to contacts

Portrait mode is an excellent example, describing the status of these shenanigans.Portrait from doable, phone application includes the option to work very efficiently screen rotation and everything will be able to view, but this only limited phone around or visit the new "Easter egg"), the portrait-hidden mode – but it was only 1 browser PR1.

If you are accurate, State along really don't interest me too much if there are unrelated to an annoying error. The phone sometimes confusing and stay in along after the switch from another phone. even if the vulnerability and it sounded cold – Hello, is the last status will not be able to!Wikipedia is broken (that is, the screen may be cut), when that happens, you can turn on the main menu. actual strange things.

You can restore it most of the time have I (reboot resolves the problem, 100% of the time, but not disruptive), but I'm not really trying-method and rather trying to move continuously, and phone.

Is it really impossible to implement the State fully capable?

Errors

Together with several other gravity defying debug error this is another reason why I consider N900. is one strange, I have been trying to discover recently, for some reason, when you receive a call, the response, select your phone will be empty, locks himself. I understand that it is probably on the assumption that your phone is next to my ear, but in most cases, the speaker actually attempts to apply, I don't know if they are not the principles of proximity sensor (due to security, perhaps – but this never happened to me and other Nokia products identical protectors, screen) or software issue, but other people speak. Forum of maemo has the same problem.

Customize the Quick Launch bar.

One bright spot on the horizon, and it is the customization is certainly one N900. best hackable phones have. I always pleasantly surprised how many people have managed to discover material — for example, edit the keys on the keyboard to match the tastes, change the color of a diode, changing system fonts, hook the hto 900 – and only moves of PS3/Wii controllers, up in the list.

These mods are not lightly, even if the system files you can fly to stir it up N900-but in most cases, you can always go back to square one reflash.

Applications and app store ideas

I hope to write how door-photo shop and hitting one billion download miletones. unfortunately does not exist.Let's see what is available in the N900-application:

The number of free online games: 11
The number of paid games: 0
Several free applications: 43
Paid applications count: 0
Several themes: 9
The amount of videos/ringtones: 34

This is truly pathetic. but I can speak with applications, most games presentations crappy (on the detail of the angry bird).

Archives

On the other hand, several archives, free applications grows every day, thanks to some dedicated to developers, should be made by a large effort is a nice area, even if software. found only small is truly practical or benefit me but still has a great shop door.

The Office application that lets you surprised, reasonable edit.Doc files..Xls. in my opinion, should, in the first instance "PocketPC". snake I settle for Google Docs.

The conclusion of

What is the difference between an iPhone, Google Android-its clones and N900 Nexus? such as the Polish, the rough-and-tumble of the diamond continues to N900-.

I hestitate N900 recommended regularly is simply missing. dings, gave these days — some basic download store, and is still a number of bugs, you will probably quickly and users newbies.

But for those who want to brave the water and Diving suit your phone (or a few kinks please wait patiently ironed eventually), N900 already has the most rewarding equipment.
