Re: HERE Maps has been sold

While the number of OpenStreetMap users is smaller than the number of Google Maps users, don't assume that it is less complete and that contributions are of low quality. OSM is edited not just by...

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed

To ascribe the ruin of Nokia to Americans is somewhat fair. While Elop is Canadian and the company’s management counted many Finns, both had to answer to Nokia’s shareholders, and among those large...

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

Complaining about the way things have developed is definitely on topic for this thread. As I mentioned some weeks ago, this increasingly looks to be a failed project, and shipping a few 1000€-plus...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

I still use the N900 as my main phone (and iPod replacement), but less and less as a smartphone. Since the browser is ancient and full of unpatched security holes, it's not an enjoyable prospect to...

Re: [Announce] cuteTube - A feature-rich YouTube client

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

endsormeans, the point of your posting that article isn’t clear. Many of the author’s complaints would apply to the Neo900, as it will inherit much of the obsolescence of the N900.

And I think you...
