Noah you're a good reviewer. 2 noteworthy firmwsre corrections have helped eg phone dialer pops up when turning n900 vertically and browser works upright too. Ui is different but sooo great. People can read online manual and sites after checking on-screen starter help. RUclips never worked so fast! I'm amazed at everything.
This phone isn't meant for people who haven't used a phone like this before. You say it's for "geeks" I'm no geek, I don't do microsoft products, and I don't do anything in the means of computer programing. I just really really love cell phones, and I feel if you can't figure out or appreciate how to use this phone you shouldn't own it period, it's not designed for the general public like the iPhone, but cell phone enthusiasts. keep that in mind while reviewing this phone please.
This being a old video and him split on rather he loves or dislike the phone it's definely powerful and a first of it's kind that all these newer phones are trying to do. Voip calls built in the device with no apps straight out the box. Plus it does so much more.
the skipping was very minimal, and he did have other apps running in the background... no matter how powerful a cell phone is, it'll still be a cell phone, although i agree, it IS marketed as a VERY powerful phone and should NOT lag at all =P
The facebook widget comes pre-installed, but only opens up the website when click.. The "app" that he showed was the widget installer.. They'll probably be a proper application when Ovi store launches.
No, the videos play well. You only get little lags lag if you mess around with zoom and scroll or try too high quality videos / superheavy mutltiasking. It's already got faster with the last firmware update, and the next one is coming soon.
Hey noah, what about the N97 mini video review? you did the unbox video but never did the review, i want to hear what you think about that little guy...
Maemo 6 which will have capacitive screens, portrait mode and multi-touch gestures and probably a more user friendly experience. Having to tap those small x's on the multi-task screen looks like it could be a pain and should be more stream-lined like on webOS.
N900 has the same resolution as the Galaxy S 2. this is about 18 months before the Galaxy S 2. Nokia went backwards with 640x360 found on the N8, E7, X7. I know the N9 has 854x480
Only two drawbacks I see about the N900 is 1) It doesn't support 3G from AT&T and 2) It doesn't support MMSing without fMM's and even then it's still very limited.
I'm really liking this Maemo 5 OS. Now what would be really sexy is putting the Maemo UI atop the Android Platform, with of course support for the Maemo apps. *drools* Ahem, Nice review.
how good is htis phone? i heard it's kinda a hassle because to use most of its OS u have to use it in landscape mode. if it's true, should i get this or motorola milestone?
Smartphones are supposed to be used by smart people. The phone is really cool. Nokia are pioneers and brought many features before Apple. 8 mpx camera + thin version could have the difference. Believe me the open source phones such as Maemo and Android will rule the market
well this guy gave his opinion on the phone, you could also watch several reviews on it see what's matched up and when you like about it.. so the noah doesn't like it absolon i think is one that likes it since he uses it as his own cellphone
Yes and no, if you pause it at the start and let it load 1/3 the way through then it's smooth, but it still doesn't feel natural. I never watch youtube vids on it, the experience is nothing like my G1 or iPhone 2g. RUclips on a phone needs its own application.
Nokia claims that it's UMA phone. I wonder if it works in T-Mobile network. Can You choose which connection will be used for Skype or internet browser? (aviable Wi-Fi or SIP). I've got bad service at home. It would be cool if it would switch to UMA mode there and back to T-mobile when away from my Wi-Fi.
Howdy ya'll ma neam is jon, I've nevarrrr had maded sum vido on utub but i rell do good knowin wha have ta do. dis fon is bad but dunexpect me to giv n reson. yeah The review, is a little one-sided pro n900 but maybe that is because the phone has little flaws. I have never touched one, so actually i cant really say, anyways until now, this review has brought me closer to buying one of these.
nokia after all these years is still awesome!!!!but you can tell how theyve went more contemporary in the phone business compared to about 6 yrs ago when they made that phone that was also a portable game device....but they are always awesome!!!!! too bad i have sprint! :(
It's kind of like saying a Chevrolet Corvette looks nice, but it's not a good car at all because it has too much power for your 16 year old to use so based on the fact that he and others like him can't use it easily, and it can't fit the kids in it - it's not really a good car, and Chevrolet should make them easier to handle and lower power so the every-day person can drive it. Go buy a Caviler, or an Impala if that's what you want. People who know what they want will buy this phone
@999muzicfreak it's true. Im waiting for the Nokia N9.. from what i read, it's the successor to the N900. So im saving up for that when it comes out Q1 of 2011. It's gonna bomb on any other phone. Nokia maeks amazing phones. I needed a new phone asap to upgrade from my nokia 5200 so i got the Milestone because i was able to get it for 300 rather than 460 for thet Nokia N900. The N9 will be amazing. I love the N900 but the N9 will be the best! :)
Great review allround! Flash plays like sh*t, I wouldn't call this "playing" at all. On the other hand kudos for still being able to multitask properly whilst suffering under Flash playback.
ya noah couldnt move aroind properly. it was a poor review. shouldve mentioned that you dont need 1000 apps to make ur cell functional.i am surprised cause his reviews are pretty good
Noah..disappointing review mate if not frankly shit..in video player you are showing me maemo demo clip for a second time (unboxing) the way you've talked about the features of the N900 shows that you really didn't prepared what to say or just simply didn't use the device enough.
Noah, sorry but that was the worst review of yours. It is so obvious that you just didn't like the phone and the os and just wanted to end it up quickly.
Noah what a bad review!! You really seam bias toward Nokia devices when clearly it out performs every other smartphones out there. My you tube on my iPhone 3gs sometimes crashes or doesn't work and video playback can stutter at times. User friendly, Noah? Way overrated
I think the N900 can be better but I have to say this guy is a terrible reviewer, absolon3 is far better at mobile phone reviews. This review is a FAIL
crap review as though d reviewer had no interest in reviewing the phone...:P he always insited in not buying d phone rader telling evrything in detail... he didnt even show d mobiles hardwarw button nd all stuff....:(

Awesome! You're great and your "nokia" pronunciation has become a trademark for you. Great review! Keep it going man =)
Noah is better than everyone in phonedog!
Honestly people, his review was very in depth and explanatory... IF you don't like it, why hate on it, WATCH ANOTHER REVIEW....
Noah you're a good reviewer. 2 noteworthy firmwsre corrections have helped eg phone dialer pops up when turning n900 vertically and browser works upright too. Ui is different but sooo great.

This is shaping up to be the perfect phone for me.
love it
best cellphone ever
great review
thx for the review! It's great =)
I like Noah's reviews I don't know why there's so much hate here.
This phone isn't meant for people who haven't used a phone like this before.

hey Noah when are you gonna do a review for the lg expo..
@skate2spellgirl It has 3 ways to unlock the device: By the unlcok buton, the power button and opening the keyboard.
how is the browser on att network???????????is it significantly slower???
great review :) i liked it :)
Is sliding the keyboard the only way to unlock it?
can't believe nokia didn't follow up on this,, can't wait for meego!
@msrenzoid : Concur - old post I know - but I'm still interested in this phone. Especially now it'll run meego.
the skipping was very minimal, and he did have other apps running in the background... no matter how powerful a cell phone is, it'll still be a cell phone, although i agree, it IS marketed as a VERY powerful phone and should NOT lag at all =P
why doesnt youtube work properly?for a full flash phone,video experience suks,i saw in other reviews,someone say it works fine plz
The facebook widget comes pre-installed, but only opens up the website when click.. The "app" that he showed was the widget installer.. They'll probably be a proper application when Ovi store launches.
No, the videos play well. You only get little lags lag if you mess around with zoom and scroll or try too high quality videos / superheavy mutltiasking.

nokia n900 or nokia n97 mini.
which one is better??
does it support multi touch screen?
Are you sure it's widescreen only.
There must be some setting .. I think ..
good review....but it would be nice if part 1 and 2 didnt take a half hour to watch both
N900 has the same resolution as the Galaxy S 2. this is about 18 months before the Galaxy S 2. Nokia went backwards with 640x360 found on the N8, E7, X7. I know the N9 has 854x480
It also has an FM transmitter, so you can play songs through any radio! Car or home one!!
Nokia definitely have something good here with Maemo, but it's pretty obvious that it still need a lot of work with its UI structure.
Only two drawbacks I see about the N900 is 1) It doesn't support 3G from AT&T and 2) It doesn't support MMSing without fMM's and even then it's still very limited.
so you cant access the home screen when you have multiple windows open?
the true hour...... youtube support
I'm really liking this Maemo 5 OS. Now what would be really sexy is putting the Maemo UI atop the Android Platform, with of course support for the Maemo apps. *drools*
Ahem, Nice review.
is the screen scratch free?
Is it better than n8?
how good is htis phone? i heard it's kinda a hassle because to use most of its OS u have to use it in landscape mode. if it's true, should i get this or motorola milestone?

well this guy gave his opinion on the phone, you could also watch several reviews on it see what's matched up and when you like about it.. so the noah doesn't like it absolon i think is one that likes it since he uses it as his own cellphone
is it resistive or capacitive?
Yes and no, if you pause it at the start and let it load 1/3 the way through then it's smooth, but it still doesn't feel natural.
I never watch youtube vids on it, the experience is nothing like my G1 or iPhone 2g. RUclips on a phone needs its own application.
should of mentioned that there was an infrared sensor so you can connect your wii mote and play games with it
omg i have the nintea theme for my google chrome too!!
Nokia claims that it's UMA phone. I wonder if it works in T-Mobile network.
Can You choose which connection will be used for Skype or internet browser? (aviable Wi-Fi or SIP). I've got bad service at home. It would be cool if it would switch to UMA mode there and back to T-mobile when away from my Wi-Fi.
give it some time there is potential in the os.
Howdy ya'll ma neam is jon, I've nevarrrr had maded sum vido on utub but i rell do good knowin wha have ta do. dis fon is bad but dunexpect me to giv n reson.
yeah

@AstroZombie20201 N900 doesn't support Verizon or Sprint because they don't use SIM cards.
Lol 1:19 The most beautiful eyes ever, and it's Noah's eyes.
does nokia n900 have free ovi maps for life
@tissot233 i've had mine for a few days and love it already!
It's kind of like saying a Chevrolet Corvette looks nice, but it's not a good car at all because it has too much power for your 16 year old to use so based on the fact that he and others like him can't use it easily, and it can't fit the kids in it - it's not really a good car, and Chevrolet should make them easier to handle and lower power so the every-day person can drive it.
Go buy a Caviler, or an Impala if that's what you want.

Can you text in Portrait?
Trippy at 1:50
omg that keyboard is ghastly.
@999muzicfreak it's true. Im waiting for the Nokia N9.. from what i read, it's the successor to the N900. So im saving up for that when it comes out Q1 of 2011. It's gonna bomb on any other phone.

..or if you want the best mobile browser on any phone. ;)
Are youtube videos really that choppy on this phone? Thats basically unwatchable.
Loved the phone .... hated the home screen
i htought it was pronouncedd "nohkia" not "nahkia"?
Great review allround! Flash plays like sh*t, I wouldn't call this "playing" at all. On the other hand kudos for still being able to multitask properly whilst suffering under Flash playback.
@zodiarkpc ok thanks
Damn its faster than Iphone on internet
You should keep this phone for a month to feel N900 power, It's much more better than Iphone, dont even compare them :/ - Like your reviews anyway ;)
damn flash is soooo much better on android
It's not a waste, trust me. :P
CTFXC FTW!
ya noah couldnt move aroind properly. it was a poor review. shouldve mentioned that you dont need 1000 apps to make ur cell functional.i am surprised cause his reviews are pretty good
@SofaKingAwesome23 Its resistive.

number 1,000,000
CTFxC ftw! ahah
ctfxc ftw!
who cares if this isnt a non-geek phone???
there are phones like nokia 1100 for non-geeks..
@esaedvik haha
@dendrov use e-mail
.-Can I use a strap on this cellphone...?
Noah..disappointing review mate if not frankly shit..in video player you are showing me maemo demo clip for a second time (unboxing) the way you've talked about the features of the N900 shows that you really didn't prepared what to say or just simply didn't use the device enough.
woot ctfxc ftw

Woo! CTFxC

Your review of this device is rubbish you should rethink whether to give your opinion
as it's very clear you haven't had much time with the N900.....
I think the N900 can be better but I have to say this guy is a terrible reviewer, absolon3 is far better at mobile phone reviews. This review is a FAIL
