    From what I remember about Vodafone is they tend to let the first batch go without any firmware modding.

    my sister in derry has ordered mine :D express delivery from nokia online. i should should have it next week :D

    i doubt vodafone would sell the phone unlocked but i could be wrong. i know in the uk they locked it down with their own and stuck their 360 on it.

    If you haven't done so, you should use this I don't know how it was calculated but I got a 10% discount at checkout plus £59.88 cash back

    my sister is using a different site because she trusts it more. topcashback i think it's called. i gave her a 10% discount nokia code and there's 10% cashback with the site too. and she has a business so i think she can claim the vat

    I can get it from vodafone online for 330 euro upgrade but im a bit put off by the size of the n900. How big is it in your jeans pocket, dont want to look a tool out on a Saturday night with a Bord Na Mona peat brickette in my pocket? Cheers for all the info

    Have gotten 48 hours straight battery life since I updated to the last firmware!! Before this I was struggling to get the 24 hour mark.

    This 48 hours included alot of texts(100+) a few calls, alot of general surfing (no downloads). I also turn off wifi(obv) when not using it. And I changed from dual mode to just 2.5 mode...which I think helps alot when not on 3G.

    just thought i'd like ye guys know. Very happy with the huge increase in battery life. :D:D:D:D

    I was the same before i got the N900......I was worried it would be massive and would be HUGE in pants pocket. Pleasantly surprised when I got it that it was nowhere near as big as I had feared. Now it is thicker than most phones but is still fits nicely in the pocket without bulging out :p. You must remember too that it isn't a phone really, but more like a mini laptop with a phone app loaded onto it.

    Lads, I have CCTV that broadcasts over the net and used a program called EagleEyes on the N95 to remote view the cameras - the program is a Jar file that automatically installed on the N95.

    Anything similar that would work on the N900? Or is there a way of making the files work on the N900 - files at link below?

    Thanks

    Has anyone confirmed that if bought from Vodafone.
    1. This device is bought already unlocked
    2. Nokia firmware upgrades will be taken from Nokia and not Vodafone.

    If bought unlocked what network offers the best monthly tariff in your opinion? €30 - 50 a month region.

    I'm heading out to look for it today/tomorrow and If I don't see a decent tarrif (esp data) and if Vodafone sell it un modified I will just buy it off them.

    I've never had a bill phone before and my current phone is an extremely low end nokia that cost €30 3 years ago...
    This is a biiiiig step up.

    Also does anyone know what type of proof of residence etc Vodafone are going to want? Unfortunately I don't have any bills...

    The N900 is only available from there online store. From past experience I've needed a bank statement with my address and my passport to sign up in a vodafone store. Not sure exactly how it works online but obviously they will have your credit card details and do a backround check of some kind.

    The other option is to buy it from the Nokia store making it more expensive. Someone mentioned €500? Then add your phone package on top of that.

    they may accept a bank statement. usually with proof of address it has to be something recent, at least in the last 3 months. but i'm not sure.

    For a new bill they will ask for Photo ID and Proof of address.
    If it's your first contract they may also ask for a deposit

    Also the Vodafone stores currently do not have the N900 and dont know when they will recieve it.

    Well I'm not a happy camper :mad:
    Went to order the N900 last night but couldn't cause their systems were down.
    Went to order it now and it's only on backorder - so not sure when I'll get it now :mad::mad::mad:

    My wife thought the very same. All she wants in a phone is red button green button and txt.
