I got a right to post here after shelling over £500 for a device not up
to par. Same like the rest of us Nokia suckers.

Life is pain, then your iPhones battery dies.

Why every iphone fanboy, has something against nokia users?
Today i've sold my iphone. Why?
Because i want N900 again!
For me, Iphone sucks big time (IMO!!!).
Maybe with OS 4.0 will be some improvement. Till then....
Yes, it has a bunch of apps, but iphone has 3 - 4 years ahead.
So... iphone fanboys, get used to it.

I would rather be a Nokia sucker than an Apple one. Not impressed with the iphone at all. Poor reception, no flash in browser, no flash in camera, mono speakers, serial tasking, lack of proper keyboard ,tyranny of the app store and smugness of Apple not to mention the fanatisism that follow it.
You may have jumped out of the frying pan but you are now in the Fire !. N900 is not perfect by any means but I feel every bit of it is mine. I wont serve Steve Jobs or give him my money only to be dictated to. The velvet prison is not for me, I love me Freedom. UHURU.

I like the N900 too, but it's not my idea of what it could be either.

No, I'm not hating here - it's still the best in the market for me, by far.

I'm just saying, there's a bunch of stuff wrong here:

1. browser - yes, it's cool to have the desktop versions of websites on a mobile, but is it a good thing? Youtube is slow on my N900 (Flash is a hog, everyone know the current benchmark for CPUs is Flash video and not Crysis lol) and I would like the mobile version of websites sometimes - it matches touch interfaces and small screens better!

2. screen - it's not as cool as capacitive ones. it's not.

3. apps - Python is great for newbies starting out app coding, but install a couple of widgets and some daemons in Python and there goes your 600Mhz and 256MB of RAM - it's not C, and never will be.

Now, all things considered it still beats the crap out of the iPhone, but it could be so much better! C'mon Nokia, give us something like the iPhone SDK (which is FAWESOME, seriously) and then you'll see this platform flourishing.

Apple is tyrannical and full of hype, but one thing they have over Nokia - focus. On the platform, on the 3 or 4 handsets and on the tools they perceive (rightfully so) as *vital* for their success. We're still working with makefiles and bash scripts to package stuff here... c'mon, it's 2010. I wanna code, and spend my time coding - not learning about autotools and m4 and stuff. It should all be abstracted from me, since it's not what I'm concerned primarily about.

Nokia ain't listening boys and don't care. That's the fact. At least apple communicate with their customers.

I guess so. It's kinda sad, but I also kinda understand it - when you sell a billion phones, talking to the customers is nearly impossible to manage.

who is telling you to be bored? dumb post. this thread was for me to see who else feels bit bored like me, i like my n900 just more out of it as it has potential.

if you're still enjoying it then thats great.

Good point!

Just what kind of communication are we expecting here?

We have numerous statements from Nokia staff about PR1.2, a published changelog, confirmation that PR 1.2 has been frozen (and therefore now into final bugfixing prior to release) and now almost certain confirmation that PR 1.2 will be released in Hong Kong next week.

We know that PR1.2 will herald enhanced app development because of built-in cross-compatability between Meego, Maemo and Symbian courtesy of QT.

We even have further reports on Meego developments in relation to N900 and confirmation that no final decision has yet been made on Meego implementation on N900, albeit with hints (IMO) that this is likely.

Updates are issued to other Nokia models weekly and there has been lots of activity on this in the last few weeks in line with Nokia's general policy of ongoing product support & development. Nokia staff have been quoted stating the importance of OVI implementation and OVI maps in particular.

And it's all been reported on this forum!

No commercial organisation can tell it's customers down to the day when this or that development will be released. Even the sainted Steve Jobs has had to put his hands up on some counts.

Just what else do we need to know that Nokia could possibly tell us with any useful accuracy that would not prejudice the reasonable descretion any manufacturer needs to maintain in a highly competitive market place?

Use the 'Search' button, read, educate yourself and relax!

I've read this thread and it seem no one's (not everyone) really bored... just impatient(thats me)
