Sorry, didn't getcha earlier..

I saw GSM Arena, and they had these cons against the phone..

Main disadvantages

Poor sunlight legibility

No multi-touch

One-finger zoom works only on the BACKTRACK touchpad

No smart and voice dialing

Limited camera features, lens on the QWERTY keyboard

No free GPS navigation solution

No Flash support for the web browser

No FM radio

No DivX and XviD video playback

Below par audio quality

So I guess its not a good choice, coz u paying for features that u ain't gonna have!!!

thanks for the insight speedy :) any idea when any other Android phones are available in Qatar coz i'm leaning on the Android platform as Symbian can't seem to catch up with the trend

Cheers mann,

Hope u research more on this, because if u looking for a fone for non business use, and don't wanna buy very soon, I suggest waiting for the N8.

N900 is a good choice as long as u use the features in it...

thankyou speedysid for ur detailed summary on n900.sooner or later i would buy this giant.

more suggestions and reviews are welcome i think in this post only SPEEDYSID and SMN are mature rest of all are immature

Yes, It is def worth comparing to the Galaxy... In fact, it gives a tuff competition to the 900 coz of the fact that its less bulky, has MMS, and runs aNDROID...BUt again, it depends on what U wanna use the fone for...

Asif, you should have known it's useless to ask for a serious answer when Rizks and Pajju is around.. :))

I currently own the N900, and have found it quite OK as a business phone.. But there are pros and cons.

This is not a 'phone' per se... Its actually an Internet Tablet..

1. Its Linux based.. So If you're a programmer who has a decent knowledge of Linux/Unix, you will ABSOLUTELY love this phone. It uses XTerminal as a command prompt..

It operates the Maemo OS, which is quite nice.

You will find maannnny apps online.

2. The config specs are quite powerful. So if u run a game like Bounce Evolution 3D, the gameplay experience will be awesome.

3. The camera is pretty decent... 5 MP- Carl Zeiss lens.. Will get u decent pics.. just dont expect to shoot pics of the moon with it!

4. As I said, Its an internet tablet, so u're experience of using the internet on this device will be great. Sometimes my browser crashes unexpectedly, but it only happens rarely..don't wry on that...

5.Integrated Skype, Gmail and Jaber. very effective if u are on the go constantly.

6. SMSing on this phone is quite good, as messages are very organized.. But alas, no MMS!!!!

7. The File Manager system is quite impressive, like Nokia standards. Ease to access is prime.

8. It has a PDF Reader, Document viewer.. If you want a document editor, you gotta pay for it.

9. Battery life is ok, coz it depends on ur usage. I didnt use my phone for almost an entire day, and the battery came down a bit.

10. It is bulky..but easy to carry around as long as u have strong pockets! lol

11. Lotsaaaa space... 32 GB (tho it comes down to 30 odd GB later coz of system files). Useful for music buffs, app junkies and for ppl who want a cool looking 'pendrive'!

12. NO FM!!! That pissed me off a bit initially, but then I realised I never used FM radio :P There is an FM Transmitter, and u need a 3rd party FM Software to access it.

Display is quite good, Its a powerful system that it uses...

So overall, I would ask u to thnk twice, define why u wanna buy it... see if u can wait for the N8 (seems a bit better than N900, let's see)

Happy decision making!
