Go back to AOL for a while, you clearly haven't picked up as much aolspeak as you thought you have. :p

If you create an IRC channel, you can kick people, etc; ownership and channel origination are related. On forums, ownership and thread origination are totally unrelated.

While we're on the subject, all of the cool people here need to join #maemo and stop being lame. :p

Re: Found perfect convergence device. Its not a N8XX.
 

except, IRC is lame... so you can't start using IRC and stop being lame. The two are mutually exclusive.

Well, I know somebody who isn't in the cool cat's club.

Re: Found perfect convergence device. Its not a N8XX.
 

No, I suck at faking any kind of foreign accent.

Re: Found perfect convergence device. Its not a N8XX.
 

Yeah, all you people using IRC :-)

Re: Found perfect convergence device. Its not a N8XX.
 

Okay. Received a lot of input on this subject.

Well here is the final word on this subject:

1. Lots of smart people that visit this forum.
2. The N8XX is an awesome little linux machine.
3. The N8XX is by no means a true "convergence" device that allows the user to carry just one device that converges at lot of functions inside one small package.
4. The N8XX, with reports that only 700K units being sold, will be discontinued soon since no company, even powerful Nokia, can continue spending money on what people in this forum have called "an R & D" project.
5. Desktop linux apps such a word processors are not practical on the N8XX.
6. Symbian, while not being a full OS like linux, is quite capable of handling "convergence" type tasks.
7. The Nokia N95 8G is the "perfect" convergence device following short of things the N8XX can do however excelling many, many, more areas the N8XX can never hope to do.

8. Last and finally, if 3G phone capability is added and built into the N8XX and an even slightly better camera (3-5mg) is added, the N8XX will take over not just this planet but could rule the entire universe. In the absence of these things the Nokia N95 8G kills the N8XX insofar as convergence is concerned.

So there you have it folks.

The last and final word on this matter.

Thanks for offering your valuable feedback and making this a really, really hot thread.

Re: Found perfect convergence device. Its not a N8XX.
 

You forgot about IRC; we mere mortals await your final sol^H^H^Hword as to whether it's lame!

Re: Found perfect convergence device. Its not a N8XX.
 

Yeah .. this isn't biased or opinionated in any way .. and totally a great "summation" of everything that's been presented in these 22 pages. :rolleyes:


I'll retract my sarcasm if you can show me a news article or an official announcement from Nokia saying that N810 just "isn't worth it".
