Once again I find myself in the possession of the Nokia N900 after several more weeks at Nokia courtesy of Car Phone Warehouse and mobiles.co.uk. I can not stress enough how terrible both these companies are and would avoid them like the plague.
OK mini Rant over... lets look at the phone. I have had the phone now since January 6th (well apart from the 7 weeks it has been in for repair and the fact that it has been replaced once already as it was unrepairable) and in all honesty I am still finding it very hard to cope with day to day issues. Again as an Internet tablet it is good/average, as a phone it is not so good. No picture messaging, no video calling functions, the camera and flash arrangement is no where near as good as any other N series. Even as an Internet tablet I am no finding it slow and laggy and the wifi kills the battery in minutes. I can not wait for my contract to end, in fact for the first time ever I am looking at selling it and actually buying a Sim free phone to replace it with.
In short if you want a smart phone forget it. Look at iPhone and HTC series which are now running much better, having played with a Desire I would recommend it :o) If you want a new contract go directly to Orange mobile, either online (better deals) or phone them. There customer service is brilliant unlike CPW or mobiles co uk who seem to think customer service is secondary too stitching you up.
OK OK I promise, rant over...
