Nokia N900, Xperia X10, Motorola Milestone !

One reason is n900 pricing is correct...26k is absolutely competitive price

 

[desiibond]

Surprising all of sudden everyone here seems to have started liking the N900. Guess what, people here are now talking about how the N900 is better. At one point of some people here were only talking about how the N900 is bad.

This new change in opinion especially by people who did some N900 bashing earlier, makes me wonder if it was only coz of the frustration of N900 not being available in India at that point of time...

there is no change in opinion. people are helping those who made their choice (buying N900). earlier it was more like which phone to select.

Exactly my point , it is available for even lower. I personally got mine for 25k which makes it a smashing deal

My first impressions and pics of the device are on another thread for anyone who is interested.

[follower of krazzy]

Well yes you could flash the device with non India firmware... but with a just bought device... i wouldnt want to give up my warranty

Guys Flash your N900 to the Global version of PR 1.2, that would enable skype video calls on your device. As far as the Warranty getting void if someone flashes to the Global version, well there is no official statement on this. I dont think your warranty gets void if you flash your phone again. Who told you about this, Did you speak with someone at the Nokia Customer Service.

But thats what I am saying, who told you your Warranty will get Void ?? I just confirmed with Nokia Customer Care, they are very well saying you can go ahead and flash it again. Your warranty will not get void.

How do you have this information?? Who gave you this information ??

 

[desiibond]

yes. there should be something called reinstall firmware which connects to India servers and does that.

But then isn't it obvious... could you please confirm if it is ok to flash with foreign firmware. Please confirm and let us know !

I think changing the product code for international firmwares was not allowed

I know what I am saying. But still, why dont you call up and confirm it for yourself. Nokia Care Number is 30303838. You can dial this number from any part of this country.

Please find it out for yourself if that convinces you more.

As long as you update a Firmware from Nokia itself there should be no provided it is for the same phone . As a matter of fact I even recall Nokia giving out tools to do the same ?

 

[follower of krazzy]

Oh well... i guess there will be a third party app for skype soon enough. The community for the Maemo seems to be really strong.

 

[follower of krazzy]

Has anyone here tried tje instant messaging integration on the N900 ? Its pretty cool that you dont need to install another app for im...

 

[mandrake]

so techies, with n900 now out in the market how do you all compare n900 with moto milestone?

 

[follower of krazzy]

Personally i prefer the N900 over the Milestone (lol.. i guess i am a bit biased) but then that is because i dont like the Android OS.

The camera on this and the inbuilt memory really cinch the deal for me as it makes the deal totally worth it...

I personally own both the Motorola Milestone and the N900 and i found the N900 to be a smarter device. However it is geared towards a more techie audience in my opinion.

one can do more on N900 in the beginning but after few weeks time, there will be more that can be done with Milestone. Android is progressing well while Maemo has come to a halt. The only way to progress is to use cooked custome MeeGo ROM.
