Saturday, December 26, 2009

Although Nokia N900 has support for Polish UI and input language out-of-the-box, every Polish user of this device would most definitely agree that typing anything that involves specific Polish characters like żażółć gęślą jaźń is a huge pain.

Nokia N900 has landed and is ready to depart

Saturday, December 12, 2009

After over a month of waiting I have finally received my very own, much anticipated Nokia N900. Yay!

Despite quite positive contribution of Nokia engineers to Maemo Bugzilla entry regarding this issue, the exact cause wasn’t determined (yet) and the most likely explanation is simply a piece of faulty hardware within the unit I have.

Having some previous experience with Nokia Internet Tablets, and now reading the official specs of N900 I can without much hesitation say that N900 is going to be groundbreaking device for Nokia and is quite likely going to lead the path that future handsets from Finland might follow.
