Great device, supports full flash, multi task like a mother on it, doesn’t have the snap dragon processor but it doesn’t need it. Shows you when a phone is put together right and all the hardware works right together then that’s all that matters. Using the BB 9700 for a year now and love it but i has to get me one of these them dere crazy ass phones to search the web, watch all my videos and basicly have fun with. This phone rocks. Many people give it a bad rap because it lacks the snapdragon but put this phone next to any phone with the snap dragon processor and this phone will blow it out of the water. I’m getting one. Was going to get the HTC HD but want the Android instead. Come on T-Mobile grab it so I don’t have to shell out $500.00

@tom
no one could have possibly told u that they are not aloud to release info like that. All signs point to an eventual release for tmobile, why else would make it compatible with the best 3g network (sorry verzion users) in the u.s.
@sector43
why would you want the mobile web and not the smart phone internet on the n900?
That is just ridiculous. Besides if it comes out on tmobile i have a feeling since nokia is not a strictly smartphone company, like samsung, you would not be required to get a data plan as you are with blackberry and htc phones. you could just use tthe wi-fi.Oh, and have you seen the new project dark? If not u should check it out especially for people who plan on just getting this phone already. no contract unlimited everything(minutes, texting, and smartphone internet) for 79.99. Just something to think about.
And if only android could get that 1ghz snapdragon processor sigh…..
Btw yes i do work for tmobile and a proud customer for three years. :)

Lester: Hello, welcome to Nokia. I am a Nokia Sales Representative, may I assist you finding a device today?

You: I’m actually in between on this device the Nokia N900 for one reason and one reason only. I know it is available in US however will it work on T-Mobile USA?

Lester: Yes! The N900 will work on T-Mobile, it’s the first phone that supports T-Mobiles 3G! May I ask who I’m speaking with today?

You: My name is Robert and that is good news. Second question…right now it is only available for Pre-Order, how soon can I expect my device if I purchase today. For example, when will the device leave Pre-Order status and actually ship here in the US? I am in Texas if that helps.

Lester: The N900 should be shipping at the end of the month.

You: Is that confirmed? Like a actually shipping date? Or is that tentative? If so how soon can I expect my device if I do order today?

Lester: If you do order today, we are expecting orders to ship out at the end of the month. I don’t have an exact date. If you do preorder, it does come with free standard shipping and a bluetooth headset for free.

You: Ok and would you have detailed phone specs or no?

You: Colors the device will come in? Is it just black or is white an option as well?

Lester: It’s only in black.

You: Now for phone specs? Digital Talk Time?

Lester: Click here for the N900 specs.

You: I looked andn I dont see digital talk time

Lester: It does not have information on talk time, you are looking at around 9 hours for battery life.

You: Does that vary on the network being used? For example will that decrease on a 3G network?

Lester: I don’t have the exact number, but it should be around there.

You: What do you have specifically that you can tell or inform me of that I do not already know from the Nokia site or forums on the world wide web?

Lester: The information that I’m providing you is from our website.

You: Alright. I know you work for Nokia and technically you are not supposed to downplay the device, but how would you rate this device in terms to the iPhone 3GS?

Lester: Thank you for waiting. I’ll be with you in just a moment.

You: Ok…

Lester: If you were looking for a new device that runs on another Operating System based on Linux, the N900 would be a great choice.

You: That just gives me information I already know, in comparison to the iPhone 3GS how would you rate it?

Lester: I’m not a big fan of apple products. I would give the phone a 4 out of 5. It’s better and faster than the N97.

You: I’m really not trying to be bothersome but I sell cell phones so I’m pretty tech savy when it comes to them I just want a little more information besides what I am seeing. Does it freeze? Are the first orders being sent out beta versions to get all the kinks out? Should I wait and order a month or so after the initial stock hasa been sent, etc?

You: *has

You: What kind of return policy does Nokia have in regards to this device? If I am unhappy is there some type of money back guarantee within so many days?

Lester: It’s up to you, it is a new phone. I don’t have further information on how stable the OS is.

Lester: Our 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee and our 7-day Money Back Guarantee allow you to return equipment purchased online within the timeframe of the guarantee. A15% restocking fee will apply to all returns, other than product that is deemed as defective.

No and yes :)

I will still be maintaining my apps and probably crank out a new one once in a while. I will be coding for maemo ( the new os for nokia) as soon as I can get a handle on it :)

Bratag! You’re done developing for Android? Say it ain’t so! I’ll have to follow you over to Nokia. Will you be developing for Nokia’s market?

Already pre ordered. I am so tired of the g1′s speed and yes I know there are some “slightly” faster android phones coming out soon, but as a dev this platform just has so many more possibilities and I wont have to deal with the android API/Java.

@Akulamenuri
The Motorola Cliq has the same processor as the G1, and Mytouch. As a G1 owner, it’s quite slugglish and down right slow! Until T-mobile gets an Android phone with a beter processor such as the 1Ghz snapdragon ones, I would WAIT on an android phone. RAM/ROM needs to be dramatically increased also.

as a rep for tmobile… we know NOTHING about this phone coming to our network.. and people who say nokia reps told them this or that.. dont know anything either. Not only are nokia reps not told anything, but if in the case they do hear something they arent allowed to say it for risk of losing the job. That said, i pray to god t-mobile gets this phone and doesnt screw it up with the “customizing “

I was going to get a 9700 but the I hate Blackberry web browsers (Currently have a Curve running Opera). A Mozilla based browser on the n900 sounds amazing but I also like the Android OS and the direction pad that is on the Cliq makes it a great choice for running game emulators on. Im sad if the n900 is really going to be unlocked only.
