Re: N900. After 5 month it's a total delusion
Realistically, you're probably right.
I remember a long, long time ago - must have been at least six months - when the board was a quiet backwater. People could discuss the advantages and...

Re: Whats an alternative to n900?
No, I haven't used one. Yes, supposedly a Android 2.1 version (with 4G WiMax as well) is in the works. Its current name is the Supersonic. Here is a short video that just showed up:

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo

For what it is, I would tend to agree with you and I think your points in response to Endri are useful. If the next product is to be better than this product, we should be discussing weaknesses as...

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
But from their point of view, what's stupid about it? It will cost them money to make Meego work on the N900. It will not sell any new units. And I strongly suspect that this community will not want...

Re: N900. After 5 month it's a total delusion

Re: N900. After 5 month it's a total delusion
My point is that without the phone the N900 would just be one computing device in a continuum of computing devices and, for the price, you could get better computers or, for significantly less, you...

Re: N900 NOT upgradeable to MeeGo
I fear you are right but you shouldn't be. A developer should program for the most capable device and both the app and the OS should gracefully degrade the app when the capability doesn't exist. If...

Re: Whats an alternative to n900?
As far as upcoming phones, I'd look for the Dell Streak (or Mini 5). It has a 5 inch screen so it should be much easier to read.
You might also check the browser to see if you can change the...
