good to know. +1.thanks. I'm waiting till May for price break and the 2 months this is out, maybe it will be better than just getting as soon as it hits the shelf. And I'll save $250.
As soon as it's ready, I'll upgrade to WinPhone 7. Hope we see accessories like OtterBox coming out for this soon, too.
N900 is definitely a good choice if you like browsing the web on the go, and like tinkering with apps/the os. As strictly a phone, it is pretty lacking, theres a few unnecessary steps involved in placing a phone call (IMO due to the lack of hardware buttons for call/end). Out the box there is no MMS, so you have to tinker with it to get it running, which I have.Actually, your description is what I'm looking for. I like changing apps and the OS for something better. My current, a BB 8900, obviously, is limited on what you can do that way. MMS is no issue, ie deal breaker. I'd use e-mail more anyway. Web browsing is a big reason I looked at the N900 in the first place. Nokia has been good for me, too. At about 10 years ago, when I first got cell service, it was my first choice in a cell phone.
As far as the microUSB port, I haven't had any issues yet. I've had mine since December, took to on vacation to Mexico and back with no issues. Also people have a habit of tripping on the charger cord while it is plugged in, causes my phone to drop and/or having the usb plug to be violently pulled out. So far I've had no issues. Hope this helps.
I got the phone 2 week ago and loved but but I letted it go and sold it mainly because the size is a little hard to get used and there is also the concern with the weak usb port and heard many story of people pulling the whole port out when removign the cable and Nokia refuse to fix some of them.
It feel like N900 is really a excellent phone but it is beta quality hardware design.
I'm also coming from a BB8900 and just got a TP2. It's totally different, but IMHO can't really compare with the messaging features of the BB. To me, after a BB, the email on a TP2 is hard to adjust to. H/ever I think the multimedia on the TP2 is much stronger. I love my BB8900, but the TP2 is fun too. I think both have many programs available to download, but the BB is more straightforward.I've had the BB8900 for about a year, moving up the BB line-up for the past several years. I've even made mine a little better by upgrading to os 5.0. I think, IMHO, the post from jekswang, and in particular the last line, sums it up best. "The BB is more straightforward". Not sure if my past experience compares appropriately, but I had difficulty switching from a BB to a windows mobile based phone. That switch lasted one day. For me, there's no real comparison. I'd stay with a BB. That is my opinion. And as lp984 mentioned "stable OS and solidly designed", that may be just another reason to stay with a BB. Ultimately, in the end it's your call. Do what's best for yourself. Best to you.
well you can overclock the nexus ones processor to 1.3 ghz. i would assume the same for the hd2 but im not sure.
and there is not a processor faster than that yet. thats the fastest processor available. so i think it will last a long time. but thats just me.
I'd like to see an all new direction for Win Mo 7 over past versions. I'll wait for more info on it. The good thing is it has Snapdragon 1Ghz, only if they tap into all that processing power and speed... Hope these are not capped versions.
And, yes, HD2 does seem maybe the better choice over N900 for me. If Win Mo 7 is that much better...Well, we'll see how it goes. Later, all, for now.
Already, I like what I'm reading about the upcoming HTC HD2. Hopefully, with windows mobile 7 in T-Mo version. That's the thing, we either have too few choices or it switches to having too many. (if that exists)
