Re: Samsung Galaxy Tab Teaser Video

There's a huge difference in having a 680g device in your bag and/or your hands versus having one of 380g only, it's almost weighting the half.

Re: €599 vs $649

Why not? By law, to put a mark "made in Finland", at least the last process of the production chain must have been in Finland. Exactly how my "made in Ireland" Dell was produced / assembled in a...

Re: €599 vs $649

Not true. The majority of (real) "made in EU" products are cheaper in EU than in USA (as it should be).

Just an example, RIMOWA suitcases (made in Germany):

Same suitcase 609,00 € (inc. taxes)...

Re: Price of N900 Crazy or just me?

Re: First N900 Review

Quite disappointed.

One of the main reasons I (still) use my N810 is watching movies on trains or similar. In respect of this the 3.5 screen is a no-buy to me.
