Got my N900 ! <<pics and impressions>>

[follower of krazzy]

Hey Guys ! So i finally succumbed and went in for the Nokia N900 and i must say it was the correct decision.



The device while slightly thick , feels really good in the hand. The keyboard may take a bit of time to get used.

The screen is THE best resistive TS i've used... in fact i'd go as far as saying that leaving aside multi-touch , this can even compete with the iPhone



The browser on the device has to be experienced. It can access any website i have tried on it. In fact , because of the flash compatibility , i could also run grooveshark on it

The camera is quite good , i would say slightly better than the N97 mini and takes fantastic photos in good lighting conditions. Here is a photo taken from the N900...



Media Player

32GB of memory , big screen , divx / xvid compatibility ... what else could one want

More impressions later as i spend more time with it ... Please post your feedback / comments / etc

[follower of krazzy]

Yeah .. i'll try to get something up ASAP . I was just having some fun controlling the TV with this widget called Irreco for the N900

Here you go ! This was taken last night...



Please let me know if anyone has any queries... i will try my best to answer them !

[desiibond]

is it now compatible with Nokia Ovi client PC application. When I used this phone last year, it wasn't.

[Garbage]

Congratulations!

[follower of krazzy]

Thanks guys !

@Desiibond

No ... afaik it is not compatible but i've been able to do pretty much everything without it so i guess it shouldnt be an issue..

The speaker of N900 does not sound too loud, I wonder if in a Noisy Background one would be able to hear a call ring or not ? Whats your experience is the ringtone loud enough.

[follower of krazzy]

I havent been in a very noisy environment yet to test it but its ok... not very loud but i think it will be possible to hear it ring.

Oh and dual speakers ftw for playing video on the device !

[desiibond]

the vibration on N900 is very strong that you wont need to depend on ringtone

[gagan007]

Pics are really really awesome...

Oh yeah .. i can definitely confirm this. Calling the vibration strong would be an understatement. I could feel it and hear it easily while walking through a crowded market so hearing / feeling the device would not be a problem.

@gagan

I'll get some more pics up.. i am frankly surprised by how good the camera is....

[amitabhishek]

My neighborhood retailer is quoting 27k. Is it a good price?

[GERMZ]

27000 is a pretty good price.. My dealer wants me to pay 27,500

Nice photos dude... can you put up some more ?

[dhan_shh]

Congrats Krazzy.........!

Howz mail checking?

Browsing must be really cool!

[mandrake]

please check it.

Either the camera is too good or follower of krazzy is an expert photographer...I have tried to click snaps using my N85 (5MP camera) and failed to get as decent photographs as posted above by him

Mail checking is very cool, you get nice notifications on top of the screen and you can click to read the mail. Very convenient

Hahaha... i am no expert ... just interested in photography

The camera on this thing is quite good infact as you can see... The noise levels are definitely under control even in completely dark environment with just ambient lighting. Above that you can see that the shutter was quick enought to prevent blurriness even when not using the flash.
I am impressed... Taking a few more photos... will post soon.

One thing i've noticed is that noise levels go up when in incandescent light and using flash. but then this is a cellphone camera...

Fire away your questions guys .. i am enjoying this

No. Its available for 25.5k. Some places even retailing at 24.5k

[red dragon]

Congratulations mate!

[follower of krazzy]

@Red Dragon - Thanks mate !

@Nikhil - After using this device... i think that paying even 1 or 2 k is quite ok

Glad you like your N900

I am using it for the last one week & have mixed feelings about it.

[follower of krazzy]

Hey Nikhil...

What did you not like about the N900 ? You said you have mixed reactions...

I am enjoying the cellphone right now so would like to know what you did not like.

[nikhilpai]

Hey... read your post. Hmm interesting to get another persons perspective on the device.

Well i pretty much found all the types of apps i needed. Games might be limited but then thats what emulators are there for

On the thickness part , i would disagree a little bit as the device i think fits really well in the hand.

I've experienced the same problem. With headset the music quality is outstanding

N900 is heavy, 180G, which gives a feel of a strong build quality. So it speakers should be good. It is the software bug which should subsequently be cleard with next fireware release.

Hmm. I am willing to somehow manage with the thickness of the phone & lack of portrait browsing throughout the phone. But there is simply no good app for Twitter. And Twitter is one of my most used application on a mobile.

Guys,

Especially @Maverick786us @nikhilpai @Follower of Krazzy

I read it on someoone's post I think it was @nikhilpai that the Screen Resolution of the N900 is breathtaking. So do you guys think it is of any match to the screen of the iPhone, I have a feeling that the iPhone screen is more Vivid, Bright isn't it ? What do you guys think. Hence I think watching a Video or a Movie on the iPhone is more pleasurable then the N900 ? is it not ? I kind of feel that the N900 screen is a little dim. What do the New owners of the N900 feel ?

@Maverick786us so r u confirming that the speaker of the N900 is not loud enough to give a ringtone which can be even heard in Noisy Backgrounds ?

[maverick786us]

Nah its just the flashy interface of iPhone that makes it look bright. Yes with present firmware only 64K colors are present, which gives the look and feel of N900s screen bit dull. But with significant firmware update N900 too will support 16-Bit colors, that will be great
