Almost no mention of:

- Lack of portrait modes
- An outdated UI when compared to HTC Sense, WebOS or on the X10. Lame...

Re: Openness: Maemo vs Android

@JJX: Yeah you're right I was a bit though on ya.

Btw, what I dislike about Maemo is that Nokia is basically in control of both the OS (Maemo) and the hardware (N900's). Android is neither. Unlike...

Re: Nintendo maybe going to court for N900 Nintendo emulators.

Indeed, Emulators are not necessarily illegal. However, any software to circumvent copyrightprotection is illegal thanks to the DMCA and the works.

A Mascotte

I think Maemo could use a nice mascotte for an even better appeal to the public. A lot of open source software have mascotte.

Maemo vs Psion 5MX

Seriously, looking at it from a purely consumer perspective Maemo isn't all the great. The Psion 5MX was a lot more polished product.

Besides the terrific keyboard. The OS was very responsive. It...

Re: I think that Nokia rushed and released N900 with software that miss many functions

How come the N900/Maemo (which is already at it's 5th release) doesn't even come close to the functionality of the Psion 5MX 10 years ago...It had a terrific keyboard, a very good document writer and...

Re: How is the email capabilities on the N900?

1. It's not possible to search your e-mail.
2. It's not possible to directly copy & paste from e-mails (although it's possible with a work-around).
3. No push e-mail for Gmail yet.
4. IIRC no...

Re: I think that Nokia rushed and released N900 with software that miss many functions

Isn't Nokia's whole business plan with N900 to off-load most development from Nokia to the consumers under the disguise of "open source development" ---> $$$ for Nokia.

So what did you expect with...

Re: Openness: Maemo vs Android

The N900 is not an "open source phone".
You probably mean the phone's operating system is open source.

Or even better: You want to mean that Maemo is Free Software. As " open source " doesn't...

Question Security on N900

Hi,

Something that hardly (if ever) comes up in reviews are the security features of the N900/Maemo. So maybe someone could help me out here:

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.

It's not difficult to run Debian on ARM. The difficulty is getting access to your phone's hardware. HTC devices (like G1, HERO) are quite open to development, so it was a lot easier for the community...

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.

It doesn't run in a virtual machine, it runs natively. Because Debian supports ARM. So basically Debian is able to run on any smartphone that has an ARM CPU.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.

Yh Android does and it did so long before the N900. The T-Mobile G1 (and e.g. HTC Hero) run FULL Debian. Yes, they also support native X11, so you can run KDE, LXDE, IceWM whatever you want. So what...

Yeah exactly. All this talk about how open Maemo and itsdevelopment is. And how awful the iPhone Appstore for developers is. But in the end their Ovi Store for the N900 is just like Apples, look at...

Re: So,... I bought the HD2

The HTC HD2 only supports 65k colors, which is kinda lame for a nice huge 4,3" (or something like that) screen. The N900 supports 16 million colours. Only 65k colors is so 1990s. Movies, Pictures,...

Re: N900 vs. Motorola Droid (Verizon Android device)

Since the N900 and DROID are using the same CPU and GPU it shouldn't be too hard to port it to DROID. Android has been ported to a lot of devices already. including x86-Netbooks....

Re: N900 vs. Motorola Droid (Verizon Android device)

I'm very excited about Maemo, however I'm not about to jump aboard just yet. I think I'm going to stick with Android till the end of 2010. Let me tell you why.

First of all the Motorola Droid in...
