i consider a tablet an internet tablet. which this is. an oqo is a computer- doesnt it run xp for god sake
In terms of the OQO - I have an OQO 01+ - I'd still call it a "tablet", but not in the same vein as the Nokia Internet Tablets. So... perhaps the OQO is a pocket computer.
Oh wait, that's the N900

Has anyone successfully installed gcc on the N900?
Can it really be called a computer if you can't install a C++ compiler on it?

Good to see that Google agrees with me about the name, at least.

Code:
# apt-get install gcc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package gcc is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package gcc has no installation candidate

Again, less than 2 miles from a tower where I get -53dBm signal? With 37 towers and 200+ antenna within 4 mile radius, 1-2 of them would have to be Verizon?
Your distance to a Verizon store and to Verizon central offices is irrelevant to your reception to the nearest Verizon supporting cell tower. That being said, however, I do notice that the voice quality is lower than when I had been using Sprint but the data rate seems to be excellent and compares VERY well in comparison to iPhone speeds.
Your proximity experience sounds anecdotal and doesn't accurately reflect the experience my brother and I appear to be having. So far, it seems to work consistently very well for us. That is also anecdotal, though.
One would also think that they would get better than "half bars" in the parking lot outside the Verizon store? That said, other phones in the store were not losing "half signal" just by picking them up off the cradle "inside the store".
I think its the "Phone", and posted these findings after making an antenna "mod":

...unless we live in the same area, I don't see how you and your brother's experiences would be considered the baseline.

Sorta shoots that whole the "N900 is a portable computer since it runs Linux" argument to ****, now doesn't it?

jeas i dunno it works well as an internet tablet, its certainly its best feature.
