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 Top Quality

First of all, I am a long-time Nokia user. I started with the 3650, and then moved to the N90, which I liked a lot.

I have to say, however, that Nokia did not do itself proud with the N900. I would give it zero (0) stars if I could. The battery does not last even a full working day. (The N90, in contrast, lasted a couple of days.) That was without exercising the phone hardly at all: a dozen phone calls, two pictures, no Internet access of any kind. That's essentially just on standby. There is no Internet access over GPRS, which is puzzling. I had a T-Mobile plan for the N90, and I just moved the SIM card from that phone to N900, using the same plan. On the N90, T-zones appeared as a choice for Internet and I could use it; that choice doesn't even appear on the N900. The user interface is not great; it seems to be a bit touchy (yes, that's a pun). Sometimes tapping an icon several times has no effect whatsoever. The N900 doesn't work with all features of OVI Suite and it doesn't work with all features of PC Suite (image transfer). So I have to use both for different things. OVI Suite will sync the N900 calendar with the Outlook calendar on my PC, but it seems to be confused about dates and times -- bad for calendar functionality. Yesterday it popped up an alarm for an event at the right hour, but the wrong day; today it just popped up an alarm for an event with an alarm set for 15 minutes in advance of the event, but the alarm went off an hour and 15 minutes in advance of the event. (Testers, where are you?) The Bluetooth functionality is abysmal. My car has a Bluetooth connection for the phone -- essentially the audio system in the car is the Bluetooth headset. The Bluetooth functionality with the N90 worked perfectly from the get-go. The N900 loses its connection after hanging up, sometimes it won't answer, sometimes it will appear to call but there is no audio, neither speaker nor microphone. For the camera, the geotagging functionality appears not to work, even when it is configured: After I take a picture, the screen shows a message indicating that it is geotagging the picture. When I examine the metadata in the photo in Photoshop, there is no geo information included. Perhaps I need to sign up for some additional service for that, but the manual isn't clear on that. And on the manual, the Nokia folks certainly took to heart the minimalist mantra that's circulating among documentation professionals -- if the manual were any more minimal, it would be invisible. I am returning this phone. I'll hope that Nokia releases a better model sometime in the future.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.
