Hi Guys,

I wanted to know if any of you have already bought the Nokia N900 or do you have any feedback on it. Is it worth buying ? Or should one wait for its Upgrade (which no one knows when will it come, so how long does one need to wait ? )

What would be a better choice between Iphone 3GS and N900, If someone is looking out for a allround,versatile phone with no single emphasis on one particular feature.I believe Iphone 3GS has no Flash with the camera !

Please suggest.

Cheers !

N900 is better than the iPhone yes.. But personally, i'd rather buy an Android phone.. But that's just me :)

The N900 is no mojo with the camera either. If you need a camera phone, try the Vivaz,i8910. N900 has limited app support and is a niche product. No portrait mode,MMS, etc etc... doesnt make it a great buy ATM. Iphone3gs i pure bliss. Let no one deter you from the Iphone. Its a pleasure to operate barring the lack of feature set.

The camera thing that I was talking about was just one aspect of it :smile:, I am not only looking out for a Camera Phone, as I said I am looking out for a Versatile phone :shock: which includes almost everything. A common opinion is if someone wants to be on Email all the time, A Qwerty Keypad is more apt then a virtual keypad as in Iphone. It is kind of a little cumbersome to type for long on virtual keypads, Plus Iphone may be good for Internet surfing, Data Transfer etc. But u cant it like a complete phone ? can u?? It still lacks couple of features, as I mentioned not having a Flash camera being one of them.

Yes it is worth buying if you don't give a rat's as$ to multi-touch and apps store. But do go through YouTube videos before you sink your monies in.
