Make sure you have PR1.1 firmware. Press ctrl-shift-o . Then close your keyboard.

Wait, what I'm mentioning exists right? There are a few device makers that do like PC?]]>Jan 14th 2010 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/The N900 ships with Maemo.
Of course you probably could tweak Android to fit in there but that would need some hacking.
(there are much easier software tweaks to run android apps)


I don't know of any smartphone that would be develop for both Android and WebOS or WinMo.
(Except those shipping with dual-OS but it's not the same : you don't pick you pay for both although some OS are free..)

On the other hands since WebOS, Android and Maemo or bada are all based on the Linux kernel, I suppose it would be easy to produce a hardware compatible with the 4 of them.

Nokia has really listened to Maemo community. One can tell since some of this resolved issues were big threads in the forum.

And of course the usual Engadget jab at nokia:

There isn't a single device in the entire world that supports both T-Mo and AT&T's 3G bands.

N900 made happy with Nokia again, and I am an ex-iPhone user. There are some quirks with the phone, of course, but no other phone I have had is 100% hassle free.

My advice is to try to read other blogs and play with it for your self. Check some videos in youtube cos if you wait for Engadget probably they will review it when it is already outdated and they will use the excuse that "its too old to be good".

It is a very very good and capable device.]]>Jan 14th 2010 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/All their post point that.

Yeah they will say the iphone is better, because it is better than this garbage phone. Too bad nobody cares about your garbage phone.

I just ditched the iPhone because I think (ME thinks, you dont need to get all angry and furry about it) I found a better phone...

Just for you to know one thing. iPhone has more apps... There, I said it. Happy now? Still, N900 beats whatever other phone I used (have not spent much time with Pre yet).

Problem with you people is that you do not even TRY to check other phones... I loved my iPhone when Nokia had those horrible E61i's. Now it is N900 FTW...]]>Jan 15th 2010 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/Jan 14th 2010 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/nokia-n900-gets-its-second-firmware-update-this-week/Jan 14th 2010 3:37AM
