Great! Part 3 please! and some comparison videos! Eventhough im getting my N900 on monday =) I'd stress the fact that this device is not primarily a phone but a POCKETABLE PC, with close to unlimited potential, but requires some knowledge to take advantage of it. But of course there is lots of user-friendly software coming out.. btw I saw someone looking like you on Lemminkäinen street some weeks ago, a twin brother?? Damn I felt special. Hyvää joulua! ..sais kyllä lämmetä vähän.
Best review I've seen in years - fast, concise, snappy, well-edited, confident, intelligible. Fat fingers? Who cares. I'm buying myself one. Can it take panorama pics using the app. from ovi?
The funniest review and almost dead on. Keep up with the good reviews. Since the recent firmware upgrades the phone is even more nicer to use. If only Nokia would have made it slimmer.
n900- more for power use. Good browser too hd2- business use. If you need a phone more for business apps, integration with windows and ms office and more games. go for hd2 If you are a power user, internet user, want no limits on a phone, want a good camera and audio quality and video playback, go for n900. Its easy, endless possibilities and has good multimedia possibilities. portrait mode will be added soon. Hd2 has bad audio quality and camera compared to the n900. Its its ur choice basically
You say the email function is missing thee push email function. There is push email on the n900 and it is pretty much the same as it is on the blackberry
Hey man, thanks for the great review. Do you have any notes for a person going from an iPhone 3gs to this phone? My screen has cracked on my 3gs and i do not wish to spent 200 to fix it, so i'm planing on going to the n900.
Well, have you owned one? For how long? And which flaws? Have experienced very little flaws in one year, and those have been fixed via software updates. It's uncomparability comes from another sourse. From al those little jems you find in it over time. It has a soul. No really, it does. The iPhone you take in your hands in a store is completely different than your own, trust me. I've used so many phones I hardly remember half of them. My favourite before the iPhone was Nokia 9300.
i think if you'll use two resistive layers with both have set the sentivity to some point it should do a multitoucch for 2 maybe 3 fingers.... i've only tried to do this with old tablet for pc and it worked.....
And don't forget that Maemo OS is based on Linux so all the apps are for free and u have permanent OS and apps updates, and if u don't like something in the OS like he said, the mobile don't have Portrait Mode, if more people will tell them that they want that they will just make an update and u'll have this feature too.
@tyDiscordia mine N900 runs also with 1Ghz, supports flash and implements video calls via skype greatly. Does the X10 do tah ? ;) I think, you cant say the x10 is a better phone. Maybee if you just want to use it as a phone or something. But can you use your X10 as a remote control for your TV? ;)
Jon how you disable the switch in the bottom of the phone, when a I try to answer a phone call the screen disappear and I have to touch the switch to answer, please help me
just got my N900, using PC SUITE it takes forever to put music on the device,please tell me i'm doing something wrong? and there's a faster way to put content on this device
I actually had to send mine back. Was sold as "new" on ebay. came with no accessories, a bad battery, a scratch on the side, a hair INSIDE the screen, and refused to boot. There was even rust on the magnetic piece on the kickstand. Have not gotten anything else sense. Sucks being phoneless.
bought one yesterday.. awsome performance.. im stuck with the bluetooth issue here.. im tryin to transfer mp3 from my laptop to the phone but it displays an error. y? ne suggestions...?
oh I agree, but that has nothing to do with the ability of the iphone cant download something and talk or while your watchign movies you cant downlaod. the iphone automatically shuts off your program for you instead of leaving it on vs this phone that you can leave programs on and still do something else at the same time...iphone is a single tasker vs this a multi tasker...just depends on what you want. iphone does lag.....
@Railroadmaster yes, but for expensive like iPhone and other devices running on iOS of Android multitouch = musthave . Resistive its otdated technology .
I've been thinking about buying the nokia n900. Some people say it's completely outdated, that it does not support the actual version of flash player, not possible to watch videos on youtube, no java...so i'm kind of confused because i realy like this phone but i don't want to lose 400 bucks. Advice anyone?
damn love ur review man!!! i've been watching u since before i got my iphone 3gs. btw, one of my friend just bought this n900, and i tried it but not quite impressed though. i completely agree with u that nokia symbian icons are ugly.
hi hope to help me , how can i download from youtube to my nokia n900,without my pc , i will on youtube from my nokia n900 then i need to download songs
totally different phones...the HD2 does not have a keyboard...its windows based and though a good phone it can not do as much as the n900....I got the N900 and I love it...so many things to offer and so user friendly...in the end, if you want a HD2...get it, it is still a great phone
@UltravioletSRB DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT. it's an unfinished product meant for geeks and sadomasochists who enjoy self-torture. very limited apps, unreliable phone function, no MMS (fMMS only supports images, and still buggy), no videocall over 3G network, heavy and thick, multiple design flaws and poor construction (earpiece speaker not aligned with the speakerholes, malfunctions when pressed to the ear; internal memory module can be dislodged from a single ~1m fall). it's a box of headaches
guys i`ve been waiting for this for a while now, and wiith all the hype about its super fast speed! i`ve tried it yesterday at one of nokias retailers near me and to say the truth its not THAT FAST AT ALL! actually clicking on the menu and accesing functions were pretty slow compared to the iphone 3gs my friend has..i`ve tried both but sadly the n900 IS NOT FAST!
awesome phone much cheaper then the iphone at least in my country....has lots of features and almost no lag anywhere....the only thing that makes it so thick is the keyboard which is also great if u don't have big fingers
Great!
Part 3 please! and some comparison videos! Eventhough im getting my N900 on monday =)

Im actually getting this phone within a couple of days! XD
Cant afford anything high end but have wanted this phone sense its release.
one of the better reviews on yt.
ive seen reviews where i get bored from the person talking..
Damn LP, I can't say it enough. You're videos are the best, and I love every single video you make. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!! :D
This is the best unbiased review of the N900 I ever seen.
The funniest review and almost dead on. Keep up with the good reviews. Since the recent firmware upgrades the phone is even more nicer to use. If only Nokia would have made it slimmer.
revisited the video to feel how our old devices used to be. Nostalgia. Your voice seems very different, did you make somebody else do a voice over ??
Another awesome video from the GreatLP himself :D
LP is the best, He really gets the truth out. It doesn't fee like I'm listening to a Nokia employee review a Nokia product.
This was a very good review. Definitely one of the best I've seen. Thank you.
n900- more for power use. Good browser too
hd2- business use.
If you need a phone more for business apps, integration with windows and ms office and more games. go for hd2
If you are a power user, internet user, want no limits on a phone, want a good camera and audio quality and video playback, go for n900. Its easy, endless possibilities and has good multimedia possibilities. portrait mode will be added soon.
Hd2 has bad audio quality and camera compared to the n900. Its its ur choice basically
Best review i have watched here. Good work!
You say the email function is missing thee push email function. There is push email on the n900 and it is pretty much the same as it is on the blackberry
ah the combat knife again! another great vid LP

for anyone wondering what the indian song is, its called chale chalo from the movie Lagaan.
What i like about this guy is he doesnt give bullshit in reviews like others.
i think if you'll use two resistive layers with both have set the sentivity to some point it should do a multitoucch for 2 maybe 3 fingers.... i've only tried to do this with old tablet for pc and it worked.....
The SMS CONVERSATION....like the internet chat ?
and does it take from ur credit ?
hey do u know when the next part of the console wars will be out
@prayfawind yes use it in mass storage mode, its like 3 times faster than pc suite, and use ovi suite 2.2 with it, way better.
Love his reviews.......one of the best
And don't forget that Maemo OS is based on Linux so all the apps are for free and u have permanent OS and apps updates, and if u don't like something in the OS like he said, the mobile don't have Portrait Mode, if more people will tell them that they want that they will just make an update and u'll have this feature too.
i just ordered n900 :D cant wait! will be awesome
How's the unit sales going with the N900? Did it beat the iphone 3GS? LOL.
@tyDiscordia mine N900 runs also with 1Ghz, supports flash and implements video calls via skype greatly. Does the X10 do tah ? ;)
I think, you cant say the x10 is a better phone. Maybee if you just want to use it as a phone or something.
But can you use your X10 as a remote control for your TV? ;)
lol love how u have a knife pointing at iphone, is this phone multi touch screen? is everyone going to start developing their softwares on maemos yet?
Jon how you disable the switch in the bottom of the phone, when a I try to answer a phone call the screen disappear and I have to touch the switch to answer, please help me
yeah...I guess I'll wait 3 months or so until X10 rolls out or Nexus One or next gen of iPhone...
@Railroadmaster maybe because
resistive=past
capacitive=future
?
just got my N900, using PC SUITE it takes forever to put music on the device,please tell me i'm doing something wrong? and there's a faster way to put content on this device
@BTsubzero Nokia n9? will that be the updated version of the n900?
as usual LP rocks but where da hell is "HD" version of video!? ;)
landscape only, no multi touch and fat = fail
but the flash player on the browser is a HUGE win
@vanko22 Very expensive? It was only about $300 when it came out.
I actually had to send mine back. Was sold as "new" on ebay. came with no accessories, a bad battery, a scratch on the side, a hair INSIDE the screen, and refused to boot. There was even rust on the magnetic piece on the kickstand. Have not gotten anything else sense. Sucks being phoneless.
I think the firmware version in his is older,
there are some noticeable differences
awsome review.. i love your reviews!!! subscribing now!
bought one yesterday.. awsome performance.. im stuck with the bluetooth issue here.. im tryin to transfer mp3 from my laptop to the phone but it displays an error. y?
ne suggestions...?
love the way he makes review interesting and funny
i loved that voice! its so cool. its the same voice from comparision of xbox 360 vs ps3. who's this guy??
@live4mac it has some cool features though
@Railroadmaster iPhone 4 antenna problem its only at&t problem , in europe it works great .
Merry christmas to you too
Another great review by the great LP. *bows*
you sir are now mt fave tech reviewer. gj 5 stars.
which is more better? nokia 900 or sony ericsson experia10? i'm having a hard decision on both phones, please respond anyone.. thanks :)
oh I agree, but that has nothing to do with the ability of the iphone cant download something and talk or while your watchign movies you cant downlaod. the iphone automatically shuts off your program for you instead of leaving it on vs this phone that you can leave programs on and still do something else at the same time...iphone is a single tasker vs this a multi tasker...just depends on what you want. iphone does lag.....
can u get text apps on this fone, cuz i was wondering if it had it like the itouch
i was wondering if u didn't use the fone part of it
@Railroadmaster yes, but for expensive like iPhone and other devices running on iOS of Android multitouch = musthave . Resistive its otdated technology .
@Usuotis there will be developed a new symbian operating system for mobile phones named Symbian^3 in June. search in youtube for "symbian^3"
@alphazar Yes,it has a lot of bad sides.I think i will go with Trophy.
Of course you can, because it IS an internet tablet. The phone feature comes 2nd in line.
I've been thinking about buying the nokia n900. Some people say it's completely outdated, that it does not support the actual version of flash player, not possible to watch videos on youtube, no java...so i'm kind of confused because i realy like this phone but i don't want to lose 400 bucks. Advice anyone?
Is this worth getting atm ?
@Railroadmaster ohh really ? why n8 is multitouch ?
Hamsters make a crispy snack after you put them in a toaster. Kinda like poptarts. xD
excellent review

Impressive review, well done

Kyllä tää Lasse ja me muut suomalaiset osataan viihdyttää muita :) hyvää kesää kaikille :D
OoO... Dreamy review. Got to have this phone.. This review is the reason for the buy. Thank you.
What is the game that he played a video of
Isn't that the song from movie Lagaan?
like he said having all those colors and having a outdated menu. also the fact that the nokia is a landscape phone is a disadvantage and its price.
@XaviOrtega1 That is one of the best things in N900, thankfully it comes to N8 too!
does it play videos in hd?
@ChillFlip he did a review on mw2 and a few other games on his own channel (technobuffalolp)
who is the US provider for this phone?
Can i put for wallpaper i picture that i have taken?
yes i got one last week !! it is awesome!!
@mavondi ofcourse iPhone 4 .
hi hope to help me , how can i download from youtube to my nokia n900,without my pc , i will on youtube from my nokia n900 then i need to download songs
great review
@3allam911 ur not a nokia fan arent u
How does this compare to high end android phones?
After experiencing the Nokia N95, I must say I am less than satisfied with Nokia.
great review !
I don't know which one to buy n97 or n900. :(
n900 is better ,but built quality of n97 is better than n900.Help please!
totally different phones...the HD2 does not have a keyboard...its windows based and though a good phone it can not do as much as the n900....I got the N900 and I love it...so many things to offer and so user friendly...in the end, if you want a HD2...get it, it is still a great phone
N900 IM COMING FOR U!!!
nice:) Happy new year ;D
can the n900 be 3G on at&t?
@UltravioletSRB DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT. it's an unfinished product meant for geeks and sadomasochists who enjoy self-torture. very limited apps, unreliable phone function, no MMS (fMMS only supports images, and still buggy), no videocall over 3G network, heavy and thick, multiple design flaws and poor construction (earpiece speaker not aligned with the speakerholes, malfunctions when pressed to the ear; internal memory module can be dislodged from a single ~1m fall). it's a box of headaches
guys i`ve been waiting for this for a while now, and wiith all the hype about its super fast speed! i`ve tried it yesterday at one of nokias retailers near me and to say the truth its not THAT FAST AT ALL! actually clicking on the menu and accesing functions were pretty slow compared to the iphone 3gs my friend has..i`ve tried both but sadly the n900 IS NOT FAST!
oh yeh that song rocked
@imking7 yes, ages ago

@axepoika On se. mut täl käyttäjäl "jon4lakers":lla on varmaan eri tyyppien videoita ja toi on joku usalainen niin se ei ainakaan aio vastaa :D
Way to go guys -_- Good review. Seems like a decent phone.
that song really rocks from indian movie lagaan...
awesome phone much cheaper then the iphone at least in my country....has lots of features and almost no lag anywhere....the only thing that makes it so thick is the keyboard which is also great if u don't have big fingers
