Re: Why does Android feel so lacking?

For me I don't see too many people really claiming that the N900 is truly a better all around option today, just lamenting the fact that Maemo is still superior in so many ways compared to Android,...

Re: Why does Android feel so lacking?

I don't know about their issue, but I find I have a lot of trouble with swiping in general. I disabled swipe to unlock since it usually took me about 3 attempts. Same thing (and more annoying) when...

Re: Firefox OS

You do realize this thread was started back in January, right? I think the main Firefox thread was started in April.

Re: Why does Android feel so lacking?

So another update. Broke the screen on my Note 2 (from what should have been a harmless <3ft fall onto a wood floor). Had to send it back to Samsung for repair and was without it for a couple of...

Just stumbled upon this list and wanted to say thanks, there are at least a couple of apps from this list that I wasn't aware of that I'm looking forward to checking out.

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

Right now it does close apps after 8, but I read somewhere that this limit is supposed to be removed in a later software update, and they are also supposed to open up the ability for third party...

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

I bought a D4 and used it for about a week before returning it. A good portion of that week I was traveling and outdoors in bright sunlight, and my recollection is that the screen was easy to read,...

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

I was never really a fan of the old BB devices, except for their email capabilities. I like that the new devices have good multitasking and what to me are really intuitive gestures. They are also...

Re: What have former N900 owners moved to?

So I wasn't ever a diehard n900 user. I have an N800 that was my primary device for a number of years, and I had an n900 that I used for about 6 months regularly before moving to a Galaxy Note 2. ...

Re: I upgraded phone from N9 to N900 and I'm happy

Of that there is certainly no doubt, I can actually use the N900 to browse the internet, something that went from sort of possible at one time on the N800 to something that makes me look fondly back...

Re: Lukija (read it later -Client) - anyone able to sync ?

Thanks for the confirmation. So would the occasional uninstall and reinstall be the way to clear the history when the list gets too long and unmanageable?

Re: N9, N900, or Android?

I think that feature came out with one of the earlier Android updates, so it might not be on some of the first Android phones, but has been on them for quite some time. I'm not 100% on that though,...
