Re: Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles

Re: N900 Replaced With E7!!!

After around a month since sending off my N900 for repair, and being given an E7, I finally have a replacement N900. It is *so* good to have it back!

Re: Anyone regret buying N900?

No regrets, even though I had the USB connector agony and I've been without the N900 for nearly 3 weeks while I persuade Nokia to do the right thing! The N900 is the ultimate Swiss army knife of...

Re: N900 Replaced With E7!!!

Oh no... I should have read this thread first. I've got an E7 replacement for my really-carefully-looked-after N900, which went for warranty repair when the USB socket died. :eek:

Re: "Why I will be buying an N9" and other stories

Some background first: I like Linux. I ditched Windoze around March 2008 and got Ubuntu. Linux is now everywhere: office, home, on my N900 which Nokia just traded for an E7 (:mad:) and it's a fair...

Re: [iPhone4] Loses Reception When You Touch the Side (Who says Apple products are "Better Quality"?)

An industry leader who I greatly respect once told me that it takes five years to build a decent phone.

Re: PR1.2 is awesome! Who is with me?

Battery life is much improved for my 1.2 update, I think. Unless the battery level icon has been re-programmed. I got into the habit of switching off WiFi before but that doesn't seem necessary...

Re: Why is N900 so slow?

My N900 is extremely fast. The music player is a little fussy - but only if you meddle a lot with the files that it accesses. When it comes to playback of music and video, it's very good - in my...

Re: Simple MP3 alpha order issue ?

1) No - but thank you for drawing them to my attention. I'll take a look when I get more time, I think there's merit in step 26.
