Who don't know what you are talking about. Tmobile UK offers the phone for free: http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Pay-As-You-Go/sc462/p26078.aspx

If you wan't to get the phone for cheaper and lock yourself into a contract, then ask your carrier to carry the phone instead of spouting uninformed nonsense]]>Nov 10th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Amazon: $560
Newegg: $560
Mobilecityonline: $580.
Dell had it for $445 (before tax) before it got taken off.

The price is high because this is unlocked and no contract.]]>Nov 10th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 11th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/- N900 costs 599 EUR here in Italy. iPhone costs 720 EUR.
- Finland is in the north.
- N900 on contract can be free (e.g. UK) and T-mobile US is expected to run it subsidized.
- N900 has nice application repositories, besides the coming Ovi Store. Choice is good.
- It does not run Symbian, but Maemo, a Linux-based OS. (That's why it is exciting, Symbian is old news indeed.)]]>Nov 11th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 5:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 5:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/

iPhone for the time being...]]>Nov 10th 2009 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/
Yes... you dodged a bullet, believe me. I am not happy with the phone. It's ok, but it's NO n95. It works, mostly. And there are some nice features to it --- when they work. It crashes a lot, almost to the point of annoying. At the end of this story. Symbian is NOT made for a touch screen, and it NEVER will be. If this phone had Android on it, it would be stealer. The hardware is really nice and the keyboard feels good and the form factory is the right size. But that phone does NOTHING by crash. Seriously, it is the crashiest Mo-Fo around. Change the name to "Chashy97".]]>Nov 10th 2009 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 10th 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/Nov 14th 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/

Too bad that reads like a N900 piece with two other phones tacked on. One proof:

* Furthermore, the internal memory of the HD2 seems slightly lacking as at 512MB, you will pretty much find yourself running low on space soon enough. Which is unfortunate as considering that the HD2 is being billed as a heavy-duty multimedia phone thanks to its large screen, it hardly has sufficient space for storing media files, particularly videos. Of course, you could buy a high capacity SD card for the SD card slot, but you will still want your other files and map data stored internally on the device.

How is that a HD2 only weakness (it's not even one)...]]>Nov 10th 2009 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/nokia-n900-is-finally-shipping/
I ran into this over the weekend... that's the last in a series of articles comparing features and pros and cons as decided by the reviewer... so read the other articles. Overall, they still sound exceedingly favourable to N900, but at least, there is more information for anyone interested.
