After a month of using the N900 I’ve come to the conclusion it’s not quite the phone for me. Yeah; the screen is incredible, the GUI is great, the Eyecandy is cool but the stuff I really need is not working the way I want it to and IMHO Nokia takes too much time updating the software.
So, it’s FOR SALE; Nokia N900 with screen protector & extra battery, only used for one month and its in prestine condition.

Tethering (using you’re mobile phone to get your laptop/notebook online) is a quite important feature for me, when I’m at a meeting I do not wish to rely on wireless connections from my customers or the hotel/cafe where I’m at. With my Nokia E90 I used JoikuSpot, which turns the E90 into a wireless accesspoint, worked like a charm but drains the batteries extremely fast. One very big advantage of creating a Wifi-accesspoint is speed; I have 7.2 mbit 3.5G subscription (the E90 only got to 3.2 mbit though), which is too fast for bluetooth, you usually get about 1 mbit from bluetooth.. With wifi I was able to use the full 3.2 mbit my E90 was able to provide.

There are not a lot of notifiers for Google WAVE available. I found one for Firefox, which is a small statusbar icon and doesn’t really attract my attention, and there’s one for Chrome (which I don’t use). I’d rather have something for my desktop (Gnome-panel-gadget or Gnome-Do-plugin) that shouts ” YOU HAVE A WAVE” at me, but I haven’t found anything yet. What I did find is another solution; The XMPP-bot “wave-xmpp@appspot.com”. If you add this bot into a Wave and press subscribe you’ll receive an instant message from Google Talk when someone adds something to the wave. Since GTalk messages are received on my Nokia N900 I know there’s wave activity anywhere I am, and only from the Waves I’ve subscribed to. Check out the XMPP-Lite page

Nokia N900
After almost 3 years of Nokia E90 usage I ordered a Nokia N900. Imho it’s the only phone/MID worthy of replacing my E90. Ok; it’s bulky, heavy (the E90 is a brick too) and the OS is probably a bit rough around the edges, but it runs Linux (maemo), has a 800×480 px screen, 1 gb of RAM (of which 768 mb is swap) and a whopping 32 gb storage. I will miss Route66 though, not sure if Nokia Maps is capable of keeping me on track…
