  • Is this phone worth buying atm ?

  • Ive had this phone for 2 years now, I normally upgrade every year, last year I passed over the upgrade because nothing new could match the N900 for simple balls to the wall getting the job done. I can be browsing the FULL internet, keep it running in the back ground while streaming a video from another site and then sent a text and then make a call all at the same time and the phone wont even slow. I'm coming up to upgrade this year now and I cant honestly think of anything thats a huge step fwd

  • i woud like to have a grandmother like her

  • why cant they say nokia properly D:

  • Will probably buy this used for about a hundred euro.

  • i just have one question and cant be botherd watching this vid. i am 1 step away from getting this phone, but can i call and txt on it? people are telling me its only a mobile computer

  • @TheCrystalanimation Yes, you can make calls and send text.

  • @MobileTechReview thank you.

  • @MobileTechReview How can you buy an N900 in TMobile??? lol i go to TMobile looking for this phone and they said they dont sell nokia phone. lol... do they sell this in US?

  • @NoImNot23 Nokia sold it direct, T-Mobile stores didn't carry it.

  • @TheCrystalanimation I own this phone and to be honest I wouldnt bother getting it (it is 2yrs old now)

    It still only supports flash 9.4 which isnt much of a problem but most videos run like slide shows (youtubes good on it though). The phone can be overclocked but it kills the battery, im lucky to get 4hrs out of it running @ 950mhz and thats just surfing the net a bit on 3g while im at work.

    lastly it has a resistive screen which means you have to tap the screen quite hard to get it to respond

  • Linux!<3

  • CAN SOMEONE HELP THIS PHONE OR THE SONY MINI PRO

  • @nolosk8s this!

  • @metalheadblues why?, and please not i have big thumbs

  • @nolosk8s Well i only got my N900 like a few hrs ago..great phone, a little difficult to get used to buts its awesome..its just an over all better phone than the xperia..and if you have big fingers the xperia is absolutely tiny so it would be difficult to type with

  • @metalheadblues I've used the xperia at a shop and it wasn't that hard since the keys were spaced out and bulged is it the same with this phone

  • @nolosk8s dont even pretend theres a mobile close to n900 even now

  • that phone is insane, used it today at some phone shop, i'm dumping n96 and n78 for that!!!!

  • @cermy25 they still have them at stores?... i cant find it anywhere other than used from people online

    

  • @HiScoreKing i guess not, im in kenya, so they reached here late, many shops have the silly n97 and n96 phone, the slow cheap material phone, n86 and n85 are very rare to come by

  • dude it have slide to unlock look like iphone

  • @longites i think it had, i used it for less than an hour and my interest was the software since the hardware is pretty much like other nokia high end phones

  • dell streak better ;)

  • @07liberian why the hell i always find you in any phone review video ?!?!

  • bbw phone !!!

  • This is not nokia n900....this is Shiiiittt laggyy phone and ya its for noobs,, samsung galaxy s2 is better

  • this phone sucks, had it for two weeks

  • @rintru Why it sucks???

  • @MrLuar1 i would recommend you to try android phone at first :) n900 screen is not sensitive at all

  • @rintru Can i customize an android as a n900. I've read is by the N900 can do several things with wireless. My other option is the Xperia Arc, the problem is that no front camera, and the n900 has.

  • @MrLuar1 yes you can install android on n900 but i dont know how. but thats not the best option. ow arc is a powerful new device, and why do you need front camera, for video talks? me myself dont use this function so thats would be not a problem to me. buy arc ;)

  • @rintru I need a front video , because i do a lot of video calls. But Arc is the option to buy :)

  • @rintru N900 is not designed for noobs.

  • @hellaisgreece you call me a noob lol? fak no. and yes, n900 is designed for a bunch of noobs. i dond believe you guys love this phone. it is slow, screen not sensitive. android FTW

  • does this phone have a wi-fi?

  • @appelvinnie its a movie called 9.

  • nokia vs. motorola?:))..that's not a good idea

  • God, I dont know whether to buy this phone, or the Xperia X2

  • how Maemo works? can you upload it just like windows mobile/android?

  • @appelvinnie 9 (Nine)

  • nice phone

  • I love Lisa. Best reviewer on the web.

  • Good bye Symbian !!!!!! TA TA !

  • Had the phone for about three months now. The touchscreen's been giving me hell. Sent it to Nokia Care two times and both times the same problems have cropped back up again within a week of its repair which is a shame considering the money u pay r such phones. Found the screen to be highly unresponsive and inacccurate when compared to the capacitative screen i had on my earlier samsung . Disappointed. Better to maybe shell out a couple of extra bucks nd gt the E - 7 i reckon

  • nokia should implement the maemo operating system into more of their devices

  • is the touch like iphone

  • @tameem345 no its more resistive but i personally prefer having to push now on the screen

  • did i hear vga video? A vga video for something that costs this much? a vga video for a smartphone? A vgavideo?

  • @Achiliesguy21 VGA On A Nokia Phone Is Like 720P On A HTC Phone.

  • @07liberian so u say nokia has bad cameras

  • HOTTEST PHONE

    

  • I got this phone it's very fast but the only thing what lets it down is that there aren't that many apps bit of a boring phone really just good for the internet and texting. You're better of with an android phone if you want to do more stuff, Stay away from this phone if you want it to be like an iphone cos it doesnt nothing like an iphone!

  • @fordfocusst3 "aren't many apps" ??? You Must Not Know About The Maemo Repositories...There Are Thousands Of Apps There.

  • @07liberian Not as many apps as the Nokia N8 which is better, anyway don't have this phone no more i've moved on to the Samsung Galaxy does so much more than my old Nokia done...

  • just don't worry about it if you don't like the N900 there is a coming phone from Nokia it's the N910 which it comes with the MeeGo OS and more great look and better touchscreen also !

  • anyway don't get made of the phone if you don't like n900 just wait for the N910

    which it comes with the MeeGo OS ! and capacitive touchscreen and even more special look !

  • @rquiray702 no 3g on at&t.only 2g

  • @theringis Who cares. N900 is still better than most phones.

  • this is the best phone review I ever saw on youtube. Good job.

  • @LifeISMagix /watch?v=wK-3s0V9W4I try this one :)

  • do u guys know that theres an android type of system coming to this phone i really need to get this now

  • If this one a centimetre thinner, and the screen was a bit updated it would be so much better

  • I lost this phone after 2 weeks of my purchase. It was the best 2 weeks of my life ever. Fuck my life. I think i'll move on to the n8...

  • @RetroShinigami The N8 On My Page Kills The N900.

  • whats better this or the n8?

  • @bassalegcrew N8 Is Better, Watch My Reviews

  • do all games and apps on ovistore work on this?

    and what about the themes?

    this phone is pretty awesome as i am a nokia and linux fan :)

  • es muy interesante todo lo que posee nokia pero es lo malo ya estams en una epoca donde la linea inalambrica para celulares te genera cargos de transmision ...hagan algo nop falta mas libertad para obtener imformacion.......

  • es muy interesante todo lo que posee nokia pero es lo malo ya estams en una epoca donde la linea inalambrica para celulares te genera cargos de transmision ...hagan algo nop falta mas libertad para obtener imformacion.......

  • awesome phone, excellent review!

  • nokia use to be a good company there not anymore. SYMBIAN and OVI KILLED THE MOBILE STAR!! a long time ago. HTC IS GONNA BE THE NEW KING!

  • DAMN ! That phone is thicker than a brick ! I wouldnt be able to deal with that ...

  • Awesome phone, i have it :P

  • this would mostly go head to head with google and iphone. Nokia FTW!... this will be my next phone!

  • @B33ZMR it will be discontinued in june 2011, so hurry if u want to get it its already in the stores for more than a year.

  • @B33ZMR well goodluck with that =)

  • im trying to trade my HD2 for this phone lol

  • im gonna buy this 1 the next week. is it possible to use the gps without having internet plan ? (im in new zealand, = third world data rates)

  • @dieglhix i presume ovi maps can run offline on this one

  • @dieglhix you can but if you want to search for towns you will need internet which is crap cos my old n95 8gb had garmin maps from ebay which were great

  • @Deflorationstation Vitun noob, lauseessas ei ollu mtn järkeä. Nauran sulle.

  • Comment removed

  • @BenTheBrilliant loool! not for now! at amazon.com it is only for $460!!!!! :O :O :O :O :O

  • @abdane96 I can buy it here where i live unlocked for 349€. ;) :O

  • does it have a sensitive screen?

  • @Thevacationholiday i got the phone and it's very very sensitive.

  • @botrobasi i have already picked up nokia c7 i would recommend it to everyone it is amazing does everything!!! And the design of the phone is fantastic!!!

  • i think you hvae a voice as you cought cold sorry for making mistakes

  • should i get this phone, or should i wait for its successor??

  • SAMSUNG GALAXY S i9000 Voted #1 phone in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • @r0cker6 That May Be True But That Does'nt Change The Fact That Nokia Is The #1 Phone Manufacture In The World, Samsung Is Like #4 Or 5.

  • @r0cker6 yeah they marketed the hell out of that phone.

  • this is nice but with no flash 10.1 support i think i will be selling mines to my to a store or online and see if i can't get my money back...

  • @Deflorationstation 1: That made no sense

    2: It's Soviet "Russia"... Dipshit

  • @Deflorationstation what the fuck...

  • the best phone ever.. great job nokia.. been used n900 for 6 month.. its really good stuff.. more thing to explore..

  • جميل بس لو كيبورد عررررررررررررررررررررررررررررب­ى

  • I just got this phone after a couple of weeks of online research and trying others' droids and iphones...and I have to say this Nokia absolutely takes a steaming dump on every other phone I checked out! It runs a full distro of linux, complete with an x-terminal, REAL app management (just like linux), mobile WIFI hotspot, FM Transmittier, 32G of memory, BEAUTIFUL screen...what more do you want?

  • @sharp11thirteen, If only it was slimmer. Have had this phone for almost a year and even tried the Samsung Galaxy S and have to say the N900 just outperforms most phones out there. Not really big on games on the phone but Nokia could do more to offer that for us N900 users.

  • however a nice review . thx

  • its soo pretty is it a good phone??

  • is it just me or does it look EXCACTLY like a droid 2 keyboard

  • @aliokatan wrong u mean dont the droid 2 keyboard look like the n900 keyboard the n900 been out fo a year everybody copies nokia front facing camera nokia started that like five years n with adobe flash support nokia bee n did that shit when they started makn smartphones

  • nokia n8 or this?

  • @SlayAndPlay If I would have had the money, I would have got both :)

  • @SlayAndPlay

    if u internet guy better buy n900.. if u camera guy buy n8..

  • @TheLakhnat if u camera guy, it is better to use sony ericsson satio!

  • @EzyFurKid

    lol he asked between n900 and n8.. not satio...

  • @MW2God2K10 Well we call it No-Key-Ah therefore Nokia will be pronounced that way from now on.

  • @MrHairyNutz umm no wasteh clearly corrected me and i know why he/she is right. learn english the right way. ITS NOCK-E-AH its like paedophile you say wrong too

    its not PED-OH-FILE

    its PEE-DUH-FILE

  • @MrHairyNutz

    Why is it that the Americans tend to take words form the English language and slow it down but make words longer than it usually is.

    American English - Slowed down and Longer

    British English - Fast / Medium paced and shorter

    :S

  • i like only small mobile

    what is that

    thats a computer ^^

  • @dashy121 ofcourse this.. but if you want more games and apps.. you may want to go to iphone.. :)

  • this sounds like gail from the espresso machine channel....

  • iphone 3gs or this?

  • @Dashy121 nokia for sure

  • @nkian900 android isn't perfect but at least it has one Operating system. Nokia created Maemo, Meego and Symbian 3 without any promise what OS they support in the future. That is what most people cringe. At least with Andoid you can upgrade it

  • does it have wifi? :)

  • @mkolaj she said that :)

  • @07liberian at first i cemmend you for defending youre beloved phone.. but pls dont attack android.. everyone is entitled to their opinion.. but you just attack them like they did something wrong. i love android its a great OS like MAemo which is also a linux based os.. theyre great in their own way. im a smartphone addict i have n900 and nexus one. and i love them both.. so why dont we just get along :)

  • Nokia postponed too many times the release of this phone, that's why I bought my htc hero. Plus I heard that this phone was an experiment and Nokia never supported it. Which means it has no future.

  • @ds37 just cause you heard it doesn't mean its true :/

  • Does it automatically charge me for 3g fees when I put my SIM card in?

  • i have a ? i live in the USA and i have at&t if i were t0 buy this phone unlocked what it would work with at&t network?

  • @MacPr0xnxx0 Yes, I Have A Video On My Page About At&t On The N900.

  • I just bought this phone off ebay I cant wait to get my hands on it

  • Wow just imagine Linux didn't exist :D

  • @07liberian Are you serios ? Are you truly gonna judge phones and OS's based on the number of homescreens and wallpapers ? Wow..... this is a first to me O_o'

    Sorry , but I will not attempt to argue with a person with you.

    If this was a trolling attempt , you fail ... and if it wasn't , than I pity you. Please , don't breed.

  • @torrasque2007 LOL Your Reading Comprehension Skills Is Garbage! I Was'nt Judging The Entire OS Based On The Number Of Homescreens Moron.

    I Began My Comment By Saying "ONE Of The Things I Hate About Android..." I Was'nt Saying The Whole OS Sucks Because Of Lack Of Different Homescreens, Just That Particular One Aspect Of The OS Sucks.

    Next Time Make Sure You Fully Understand What A Comment Is Saying Before You Respond To It.

  • @07liberian Omg.

    Just stop. Please. You give niggers a bad name.

  • @torrasque2007 WOW im a Nigger...great observation, nothing gets passed you LOL

    Idiot.

  • gsmarena says this phone doesn't have MMS. is that true?

  • @mzxjudy No, There Is A App For The N900 Called FMMS.

  • my fav mobile may i also used this mobile phone

  • mich nervt der hautharken an ihrem zeigefinger^^ abreißen!!!!!!!

  • is the motorolla droid better?

  • that os is maemo that is based on the famous linux

  • @pesyaman Android is also linux

  • Excellent review! Just wondering if the N900 can send picture messaging & also what is the daily battery use before it needs charging? Many thanks!

  • @igartars101609 no mms and battery is not bad - 11/2 days for heavy use.

  • yay its running android

  • well presented...X

  • Jesus chrise i want one but i have to wait and now after watching this review i am planning to steal one haha

  • HTC Desire all the way...

  • @daginge29 Does The Desire Have A Keyboard, FM Transmitter, Front Facing Camera, Kickstand ?

  • @07liberian nope but my last phone was an N97 and I dont miss any of the things u mention...the phone on the whole makes up for these ommisions..

  • @daginge29 Like What, Whats So Great About The Desire ?

  • @07liberian i cant really be bothered goin into but here - read for yourself....type in HTC Desire+review into google - theres about 20 sites on the first two pages sayin why its so good. I'm not an HTC fanboy, i've had phones from all manufacturers, this is just by far and away the best phone ive ever had. And most reviewers say its an iphone 4 killer....not my words...

  • @daginge29 Ok, But Why Do YOU Like It ?

  • @07liberian very briefly...I like the extremely fast proccesor, everything is lightening quick, I like the apps from android market and the stability of the OS, never crashes or freezes like my other smartphones have..the web browser is the best ive ever used and the keyboard is way more accurate than the full qwerty on my N97. Screen size and resolution is superb too - all in all an immense phone.

  • @07liberian I can keep going if you want - tell you what I'll end with a quote from a review I saw somewhere - "The HTC Desire is one of the most impressive phones of all time, it can match or beat everything that the iPhone does" Pretty much sums it up imo!!

  • @daginge29 There Really Is'nt A Huge Difference Between My Maemo And Your Android, They Are Both Linux-Based Devices, But Me Personally Really Prefer A Keyboard And The Other Extras I Named Before.

    If You Dont Miss Them Its Cool, Thats Just The Difference Between You And Me.

  • @07liberian I guess thats the difference between us indeed....and the fact that u put a capital letter on every word....thats just wrong imo!

  • @daginge29 It's Wrong To Murder, Rob ,and Rape People But There Is Nothing Wrong With The Way I Like To Type:)

  • The Music App looks like shit.

  • RICH! (ill bet thats the only way to do soo many reviews on so many devices. Or maybe u just borrowed them.

  • I own it highly recommended....best thing is it is a survivor if u do anything shitty to it and it goes off than just reflash and everything is restored to factory defaults...u dont lose anything except the apps in ur root directory this phone is simply amazing but only if it gets meego than it will have no competition way to go nokia and maemo

  • Would u guys recommend a n900?

  • @Nimro89 Yes, It's The Best Thing Nokia Has Ever Pulled Out Of Their Ass!

  • @Nimro89 No... Only from one reason- it is locked on landscape mode.

  • apple iphone 4 sucks poor signal reception.. nokia world leader in mobile phones..

  • @1987vinaygowda + Iphone gives you brain cancer over a shorter time than any other phone (has the highest srs rating of radation, and I could go into detail as why it gives brain cancer, as will any phone but It's quite a bit too write about.)

  • Comment removed

  • apple iphone 4 sucks poor signal reception.. and ipad heats up soon.. nokia world leader in mobile phone..

  • @1987vinaygowda bugs rule

  • @1987vinaygowda for now :)) . Don't get me wrong , i love Nokia and had 3 phones ( N73 , N85 and N900 ) but Android just won me over ( love my Nexus one )

    Jumped on the Android boat .. and never looked back. And dont regret it.

  • @torrasque2007 One Of The Things That I Hate About Android Is That They Don't Really Have Multiple Homescreens.

    When You Swipe Your Finger To The Left And Right To Get To Another "Homescreen", The Widgets And Icons Change But The Wallpaper Stays The Same.

    So Instead Of Having Multiple Different Homescreens, It's Really Only Multiple Extensions Of The Same Homescreen....Which Sucks!

  • "again it's definitely a better expierence than S60" ... if that isn't the understatement of the decaded. Maemo kick's the outdated, slow and developer-hostile symbian plattform's butt in every imaginable way ^^

  • i was torn between the n900 and Nexus one. Finally deciding to go with the Nexus for the Android OS and the smaller width but daaamn .. it was a hard choise :D

  • @torrasque2007 - im having the same problem i want them both, i have always like the n900 but im told the battery life is rubbish, i like the nexus one i think its just a brilliant phone. are you glad you got the nexus and would you reccomend it?

  • @aidan117a yes .. i wolds recommend it. The battery life is more then acceptable ( 1 day - full internet browsing , 3D games and applications and 3 days - calls , messaging , photos and a few games ). The screen is really what makes it amazing ( you have to see it to understand ) and because the phone is not the width of a small brick it it feels more solid. Cons of the phone are : no oleoflobic screen coating and the touch buttons need a little practice BUT other than that .. brilliant phone.

  • your very lucky to hold this phone

  • 0:06 "Nooo Key a N900" XD

  • no-key-er

  • i only like touchscreen phones with a keyboard s owhat kind of cell phone with in $100 will be good
