Comments on: The Nokia N900: a smartphone for the geek in you http://www.techcentral.co.za/the-nokia-n900-a-phone-for-the-geek-in-you/11696/ South Africa's technology news leader Tue, 22 May 2012 09:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: chukaman http://www.techcentral.co.za/the-nokia-n900-a-phone-for-the-geek-in-you/11696/comment-page-1/#comment-1872 chukaman Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:19:17 +0000 http://www.techcentral.co.za/?p=11696#comment-1872 What pees me off about this & makes me laugh at the same time is that Nokia phones are doing shockingly worldwide with them losing huge market share to iPhones and Androids, so they come up with this N900 which everybody raves about and then a) they don't plan to launch it in South Africa, and b) they are going to take so flippen long to launch the thing. My other contract is sitting doing the month-to-month thing because I was waiting for this phone as the camera on my iPhone is horrific & I loved the one on my N95 - and I take crap photos anyway - so this would be a nice other phone to have, but if I have to wait half a year to get the thing then I think it can actually just forget it. And why must we all be happy and grateful now that Nokia have decided to launch it here? As far as I'm concerned if they are struggling so much then there should be no question about where they launch this phone.... it should launch everywhere. Nokia dropped the ball badly. I used to be a staunch "Nokia only" kinda guy.... how things change.

N900 and N97 is an effort to grab the iPhone and android touch screen device customers but nokia touch screen need lots of improvement as iPhone and HTC touch is much better as compare to N97 touch screen feature.

Nokia are very much in the development /refining cycle of both the hardware and software in the N900. So only the next version of this phone will be available more widely and will certainly be way more polished. You can still get the phone on amazom if you really want one.

I am just so disappointed that Nokia will not launch this in SA .. it will probably mean that I will ditch Nokia for some Andriod phone like HTC ...
