Re: Despite having Carl Ziesis why does N9 have an inferior camera?

Carl Zeiss is only the lens. Better cameras also have larger sensors and bigger apertures to let more light in, and in the latest phones, backlit sensors to increase low light performance. Which is...

Re: [Council] Nokia response to MyNokia subscription in PR1.2

And neither does it answer the point that Nokia are spamming every other Nokia user, not just N900 owners, with involuntary subscriptions and incessant unwanted SMS, including to those who have long...

Re: [Council] Nokia response to MyNokia subscription in PR1.2

It's not just a Maemo issue - it affects anyone who has had the misfortune to use a Nokia phone since MyNokia was launched.

I've not used Symbian or Maemo devices for months, but I still get...

Re: Met a fellow N900 owner and wanted to cry.

2 batteries to carry, 3 batteries to charge, and a bag to carry them all in. Hardly convenient is it. Don't need any of that (or a man-bag) with the Milestone.

Re: Met a fellow N900 owner and wanted to cry.

From experience it does have one major thing in common with the N900 - appalling battery life. That's why I got rid of my G1, and the N900 spends most of its time in a drawer as a curiosity gathering...

O2 Joggler down to GBP49 - Anyone planning Meego?

Seeing as it's Atom based, and O2 are flogging them off at GBP49.00, is anyone looking at porting Meego to the O2 Joggler?

Re: How and where did you buy your N900? [UK OWNERS]

CeX (£272 - £395 depending on condition and operator) and the Simplicity (or existing) SIM of your choice.
Even cheaper if you have something to trade against it.

So you publicly dismiss the whole OS because you couldn't be bothered to learn even the basic gestures to control it? Priceless.

Re: Should I get the N900 now or wait and get the N920/Harmattan?

Don't forget no backwards compatability with existing Wm6/6.5 apps, and hardly any scope for customisation. WP7 is simply Zune Phone - nothing more. Which kind of makes a mockery all those people...

As far as I can see it's a genuine complaint about a faulty phone that Nokia will not fix or replace - a situation I believe you know all too well at first hand.
