Nokia N900 (with Maemo 5) street demo at Oxford Circus

A Nokia demonstrator on Regent Street / Oxford Street caught my attention with his pre-release N900, and kindly let me capture his walkthrough in video.

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.

[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 ;)

@richardlai

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

[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.

[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.

[jscoze]

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

[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!

[iwishiwasverasforrza]

[repo4]

[jscoze]

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