Nokia N900 first power on

[MrV899]

6:38 OMG U R A girl fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck !!!

[Armixs]

why do you have iphone 3gs in the tags....this is a n900 video which is beast!

[qrpkgrl]

@Armixs it was recorded on an iPhone 3GS.

[superemgirl]

i was just wondering that what carrier does nokia or nokia n900 to is it tmobile or something?

[teethonthekerb]

got nothing on iPhone 4.

[qrpkgrl]

@teethonthekerb hmmm, you can't really compare the two - the N900 is 9 months older than the iPhone 4 - that's an eternity in terms of mobile phone tech.

[driftnut56]

Why did he say it was provisioned for the G1? The only phone that requires a specific kind of provisioning is the Blackberry...

I think his APN settings were wrong or not there is all.

[qrpkgrl]

@driftnut56

First of all, it's she, not he - I'm a girl.

Second, I was using a T-Mo SIM provisioned for the Android/G1/new unlimited data plan (at a time when when T-Mo still had different data plans for phones vs. Android/G1 vs. Blackberry).

Because of the age of the SIM, the APN returned by the SIM when queried by the N900 was wap voicestream com (generic phone/old data plan) instead of epc tmobile com (Android/G1/new data plan).

So the N900 used the wrong APN when trying to connect.

[driftnut56]

@qrpkgrl lol my appologies

With regards to the provisioning. I work for WIND Mobile in Canada. I activate nearly 30 cell phones a day. There is no specific provisioning for particular types of phones other then blackberries.

About the APN... I'm pretty sure that what i said...

[qrpkgrl]

@driftnut56 I never suggested that there is specific provisioning for particular types of phones on T-Mo either, other than BB (and Sidekick/Hiptop).

But when T-Mo switched over from their old to their new data plans (which arrived with the G1 launch), they also switched their APN.

This new data plan is commonly referred to as the G1/Android plan even though it applies to almost all phones.

[qrpkgrl]

@driftnut56 Furthermore, when the G1 came out I purchased one, and I switched plans with T-Mo from the old to the new data plan, but kept my SIM.

SIMs can contain info such as APNs that some unlocked phones (like the N900) use to setup data.

In my video the N900 review unit setup data using the APN for T-Mo's old data plan (info from the SIM) even though my account is provisioned for the new data plan.

As a result it was unable to connect to the Internet without me manually changing the APN.

LOL Flash fail!

[thonnybulls]

please don´t move!!! the camera!!! LUCKY BITCH!!! thanks from peru

[LazarRedDevil95]

Do you have to pay internet on this device although it's an internet tablet? answer please , and good review!!!

[1littlelee]

you will have to pay internet if you use mobile internet (3G and so on) but not if you use wifi (which someone will be paying for) so in the end you either pay for 3G or your wireless Broadband connection

[LazarRedDevil95]

Thanks for the answer man!

[Neutron939]

Yes, your mobile phone provider won't know which device you own, all they see is the data you transfer, so you should see which plan you are on and what it will cost.

If you buy a new N900, chances are you can get it with a decent subsciption with some provider that includes a good data deal. On my plan for example, they let me use unlimited data at the max of $1,30 a day. The first 200MB are at full speed, after this limit, they're supposed to drop my speed, but they don't seem to do that.

[mickeynatasa]

Nice review dude. I noticed the batter was about to die. Do you think that could affect the performance of the flash player or maybe it was your wi-fi connection (or did you use t-mobile connection)?

[1littlelee]

The flash player on this is actually really slick, people report some probs with youtube videos

[zelldinch17]

where i could get one??

[Glitchezz]

You think you will make any apps for this?!??

I've ordered mine...think i've made a mistake?!

[qrpkgrl]

It' possible that I will write some apps for it...

I think you''ll love it!

[Glitchezz]

Yeah go for it if you was born holding a keyboard :P

Let me know if you ever do (Please) as i'd like to be involved! :)

I dont know how long it will take to deliver but i'll let you know when i have it! (How long did it take for yours to come?)

[tissot233]

Great video!

[umayra786]

isit only going to be on tmobile or 02 aswell? i really want this phone!!! lucky guy mannnn

[qrpkgrl]

Actually, I'm a girl.

Are you in the UK? When I said T-Mobile in the video I meant T-Mobile USA... I'm not sure if T-Mobile or O2 will be getting it across the pond!

[Trivium12345678910]

Is the Nokia just for the internet or is it a phone as well ?

[qrpkgrl]

It's a phone.

[qbanyta0207]

so are you gonna tell us about the battery life or not? :p

[qrpkgrl]

I easily get 2-3 days with light use. Same battery life as the iPhone or the Droid or the N97 for my use habits.

[scanx1987]

Hey Every 1 does anyone knows if this works on any sim card? such as wut?guys help me out comment pls! :)

[qrpkgrl]

It's unlocked, so yes. It supports 2G worldwide, but 3G only in Europe/Asia and on T-Mobile in the US (no 3G on AT&T in the US or Rogers in Canada).

[Rooney10Nani17]

San Fucking Fransisco !! lol best part

[what3ver212]

I love how she's recording the video with an iPhone 3GS! Why not use another Nokia phone, I'm sure Nokia loved that!

[qrpkgrl]

Until the N900 (which, obviously is the subject of this video), the only other phone from Nokia that featured initial auto-focus during video recording (the ability to set the focus distance ahead of time) was the N93, which I don't have...

Without initial auto-focus, using any of the other Nokia phones I currently have (N86, N97) would have resulted in a blurry video. The only other phone I have with initial auto-focus is the iPhone 3GS, so that's what I used!

[crazypeople1st]

cum on pllzzzz batterry lifeeee...lifeeee lol

Yea im dying to know and is there ny alternatives to beef up battery life wivout compromising on size of the overall unit? 1250mah to say.. 1500mah 20 % increase =]

[nejercom]

by the way, how is the battery life ?

[Spinet21]

I will definitely buy a Nokia N900.

[OKurdishFascismO]

when is it out ?

[qrpkgrl]

None knows for sure. This month (Nov) hopefully.

[moodel512]

Youtube works very well on N900. Can´t wait until flash 10.1 is released for Fennec.

[nick4ever0rock]

how much did u pay for it??

I dun noe what to buy now..

should i buy iPhone 3GS or N900.

gimme advise pls

[qrpkgrl]

It was free, but I can't keep it... It's a review unit for my blog! It's not released yet.

[hawnkblade]

which one do you think is better the nokia n900 or nokia n97????????

[Beyoncefan230]

N900!!!

[MYSTICALMEN]

I think N900 is much more better

[olre1]

n900...OS is better..that's the only reason

[2disbetter]

nevermind the fact that the processor, vid chip, and overall memory layout is superior. I mean that stuff isn't important anyway...

[olre1]

waht're u talking 'bout??..i have 3 comments here so i've no idea which one u replied to..

[2disbetter]

I'm talking about you claiming the only reason the n900 is better than the n97 is because of the OS.

[olre1]

ok..i only said the OS cuz i don't know anything about the n900's hardware specs..but i've seen how symbian s60 v5 and maemo 5 works so i can say maemo 5 is better when u compare those 2..

[MiteTU]

Did you really expect to play vimeo?!

[qrpkgrl]

Maybe :)

[Brunoxtr]

so how do you feel about handling this N900 on landscape mode most of the time? Because there is sometimes when you only have available one hand. and the portrait mode on this phone is only possible in a few applications, could u answer that for me? Thanx

[qrpkgrl]

I don't mind at all. Of course, it would be nice for the software to eventually support portrait (beyond the phone application).

[Brunoxtr]

So is it comfortable to use it on landscape mode with only one hand?

[r3wind]

great video!

[alexatkin]

Hehehe, browsing history uses thumbnails of each page with the current page naturally being the one showing when you bring it up. You need to scroll left to see older pages. (I think)

Its actually super intuitive but not immediately obvious when you are used to desktop browsers doing it the lame old fashioned way. :-p

[mobiledivide]

Vimeo is too heavy for the Arm processor, until Adobe flash player 10.1 comes out. Youtube videos play pretty well on the N900.

[tochistube]

Will it ever be released though

[qrpkgrl]

Late October, presumably.

[crisi4444]

thx for the vid.....really want this phone
