Liveblogging the NYC Nokia N900 Meetup Using a Nokia N900
The Nokia NYC flagship store is hosting a Nokia N900 meetup and I’ll be liveblogging it… using the Nokia N900. I’ll share live updates and photos while I meet with Nokia reps and fans at the event. It will be different from my previous liveblog because I will not be using a laptop for updates.

Here’s the RSVP response:
The New York meet-up is held in the Nokia Flagship store at 5 East 57th Street, New York.
The doors open at 7.30pm and the ‘official’ part starts at 8pm. For the following couple of hours you will be able to meet likeminded people, as well as Maemo folks from Nokia and the community. We will provide some nibble food and N900 demos, so you can get a feel for the device in case you have not had the chance yet or just have fun with it. The event then ends at 10pm after which we can continue the chats elsewhere. We will also have a surprise lottery at the end of the event.
As the space is limited, we have a name list at the door so we ask you to bring a piece of identification with you.
We are very exited about the N900, and we hope you are as well.

Are you updating the blog using an app on the N900 or using the browser like on a desktop?
What is the status of incorporating portrait mode for more apps like the browser, etc?
