Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet
 

What? Are other people participating in the bet? I thought it was just fanoush and I. And it looks now like I will lose. But, considering the fact that I'm not really interested in a smartphone (I do not own a mobile phone at all), I might be buying a Pandora too, now :D

As for the "Does it count?" question: any new Maemo device, including the rumoured "Rover", counts for the Nokia side. So now it seems that Pandora just has to be in fanoush's hands before October for him to win.

Ditto--I'm severely disinterested in purchasing what is basically a phone.. and very likely will carry with it all the baggage of being a phone (much increased price, radio that will be tied to a service, contract plan for phone service if I wanted it, etc.).

Naw.. I think I might also wait and just get a Pandora despite my otherwise pleasant experienced with my N800. (Or, in fact, BECAUSE of them--I REALLY didn't want to lose the two SD slots and the physical location of those slots in the Pandora is PERFECT for me.)

bluetooth to a phone?

Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet
 

I am abandoning the idea of using one SIM both for voice and data - I'm presently using two plans from different telcos, one for voice (and it's a bargain) and one for 3g (4,77 gigabyte/month for 30 euros).
So by now I bring with me two phones plus my n810 - that's really too much. This is the reason I'd embed my data sim into a not-so-large kludge sticked to the Pandora... (or else, as lcuk suggests, into a maemophone).


EDIT: here's the Pandora Photo Album -> drool :p

Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet
 

You know, that will actually work on a Pandora.. unlike with an N8x0, because the Pandora can provide 500mA. You'll have to get a USB2 type 3G modem though, say, Huawei e160 (and not the e220).
Still, that's a lot of power.. so I'll be using a BT phone, just as I do with my N800.

Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet
 

Some 3G modems should work; it all depends on the availability of OSS Linux drivers for its chipset,

Alternatively, at least one of the SD-slots is SDIO-compatible, so if you were to stumble upon a SDIO 3G modemwith Linux drivers, you'd have an internal soltion (minus one storage slot of course).

Just be sure to let me know where you found that SDIO modem...

Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet
 

perhaps a dual sim phone? Either way, I am and have been drooling, waiting, hoping. Now thats a keyboard for a linux device.

getting excited!!

Re: Who will ship first? Pandora or Nokia Tablet
 

Cmon, how can you call this a "keyboard for a linux device". It doesn't even have tab and control keys ! :D
