Last night I came back from PUSHN900 event in London. Once I’ve received an invitation few days ago, frankly I didn’t exactly know what to expect, so I went there with pretty much clear mind about this. However, what I’ve seen there was absolutely amazing and I was stunned by the ideas that people in teams from around the world have put up together.

We all know N900’s outstanding multimedia capabilities, right? Built-in media player can chew full-blown divx movies without hesitation. However, it doesn’t support subtitles useful to foreign-language-impaired people. Fear not, solution is there.

Jedną z istotniejszych zalet Nokii N900 jest zintegrowany klient VoIP, umożliwiający na wykonywanie i odbieranie połączeń typu VoIP w sposób transparentny dla użytkownika. Oczywiście natychmiast zacząłem kombinować jak zintegrować go z moim kontem IPFON, którego używam z powodzeniem od niemal 3 lat.

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. For those who don’t know – every national char has to be entered via little on-screen virtual keypad that appears after pressing Fn+Ctrl keyboard combination.

After over a month of waiting I have finally received my very own, much anticipated Nokia N900. Yay! But… well, it quickly turned out that initial impression wasn’t too much to “yay” about, as my N900 unit is apparently affected with random reboots issue. 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 no software-based solution to this yet and knowing there are lots of happy random reboot-less users of N900 out there, I’m planning to arrange a warranty replacement for my N900 next week, so hopefully new unit will work properly.
