[iwishiwasverasforrza]

what a yabbo

[repo4]

where did they find this guy?? in some ghetto in birmingham??

[jscoze]

I dunno but i kinda want to meet him and ask him where he found his job.

[jscoze]

Haha hes gettin confused cus they forgot to make it intuitive...Shoulda got the 3GS instead.

[MrDelGibbons]

Yeah. Should've got the 3GS instead. So we can use a crap Webkit Safari browser with NO Flash (not even Flash lite, unlike N900 with Firefox and FULL FLASH support), be locked into Apple's iTunes, can't access the root of your OWN PHONE, can't use a file manager properly, no proper bluetooth, no way of getting apps other than through Apple's Appstore, get your phone locked for jailbreaking to run Quake 3" and have no ability to take pictures in the dark.

Clearly, should've got a 3GS instead ;)

[bandora]

Someone make a dumb phone for jscoze.. oh wait.. the iCrap is a dumb phone..

[jscoze]

Im jus baitin all u fanbois, i preordered my n900 and expect delivery very soon, UPS tracking info says its in netherlands at the mo, cant wait to get my greasy paws on it. The thing straight out rocks!

[ToulouseSalsa]

lol "What's the CPU? lainux,linux? :)" This guy is too excited and missed up some points. Anyway he's better than me who promote windows phone for 4 weeks now (Yep I know shame on me but I've got to live man then buy my maemo device).

Maemo 5 and the N900 rules but I don't think regulars peoples are ready for this. 2010 big things gonna happen to Nokia for sure.

[murfad]

too bad that demonstrator doesnt even know that the n900 has a 600mhz arm cortex-processor :(

[jscoze]

Hes probably not a nerd who lives with mommy so these things dont matter to him. ask him about girls and i bet he will know 10x more than u.

[murfad]

hardly.

also, you know that with that comment you outed yourself as a total moron, do you?

that guy works for nokia and is promoting the n900, so there is no excuse for not knowing basic things about the device.

go figure, idiot.

[murfad]

awesome internet-tablet with telephone-capability is awesome! :D

[JjGhura]

u can add a mirco sd card...when is it out in ireland?

[tissot233]

[carlangaslongas]

[ultraslansuleyman]

[MrDelGibbons]

This has to be the most unbelievably frustrating situation ever! Come on Nokia, get it sorted lol

I can't wait to get my life sorted out on the calendar...and full internet with full flash...and 800x480....and quake 3....and scummvm....and snes....and 48gb with my 16gb microsd card....

anyone want my old sammy omnia i8910HD? :D

[ultraslansuleyman]

i ve been using sony ericsson something, i have no idea wht it is but its coloured! maan, nokia should do something ASAP

cant wait for calendar thing is aswel!! and quake man! =)

[Preppster83]

Me too, I'm in the States and it's incredibly vexing to wait. I know it's worth the wait but it's hard.

[richardlai]

48GB? The guy told me it'll be 32GB. Maybe it's just the UK.

[MrDelGibbons]

you can add up to 32gb MicroSD card in as well; i have a 16gb, 32gb cards aren't out yet ;)

[faz0]

Currently advertised as "up to 48GB" - 32 GB on-board + 16 GB MicroSD.

But as MrDelGibbons says, it will also accept 32 GB MicroSD in the future, making it up to 64 GB. This was confirmed via a Nokia blog.

[tulaconalas]

@richardlai

nope, they all came with 32 gig standar, but you can add a 16 gig memory 32 + 16 = 48

[MrDelGibbons]

ARM Cortex A8 ;)

[MrDelGibbons]

K. You reckon if I pop in today I'll be able to blag that flyer for a free bluetooth headset? This device rocks, the new Firefox has just come out for it too.

[MrDelGibbons]

Oh dear Mr Nokia man....its 800x480 not 800x400! You doofus. Cool device though. Want it want it want it want it

[richardlai]

Yeah, he did confess that he was only a temporary worker. I think the camera made him nervous too.

[MrDelGibbons]

did he give you a release date? If its tomorrow (or today, I guess), I'm down there 10am lol. Oh, and first, btw

[richardlai]

They couldn't give an actual date, blaming uncertain shipping arrangement.
