Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty Immediately

I have owned about a half-dozen different Nokia cell phones and had been pleased until lately...
Prior to purchasing the N900 I had the E-90 Communicator and am currently using the E-75 until something better comes along.

The N900 looks sexy and mine worked flawlessly as it was designed ... therein lies the problem- it was not ready to be released, especially in the face of the success of the i-phone (which I do not plan on purchasing).

The Good: Feels like it cost $600. great combination of Touch and Stylis. Flexibility with customizing desktops/Widgets for easy access (though you don't have much of a choice between the 'married' set of graphics; Touch worked fine with nice transition effects (I am now a big fan of Resistive Touch Screens)

The Bad: Cannot assign specific ring tones to contacts; No Voice Dialing; No Speed Dialing; The internet/E-mail was very slow (compared to my E-75) and the pictures in my contacts appeared fuzzy. No ability to clear all entered data - so I had to manually Delete my over 1K contacts and four years of Calendar as well as over 700 Memos (even thought the manual says it has this function- a call to Nokia confirmed it is not active yet!)

I tried Hard to Keep the phone (as a former All Nokia Person) but the deal breaker was when it failed to sync with it's own PC Suite and my Outlook- Which by the way still works with my E-75 just fine.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING THE N-900 AT THIS TIME! Unfortunately I do not feel strongly about other options.Get more detail about Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty.
