@Thor: I would be surprised if the Firefox guys did their own Java port, since that's not something they've ever done in the past or have ever mentioned (AFAIK) doing in the future.

but how come maemo-linxus based, does not support all the sites??? strange
at least, Linxus has to have sort kind of similar to java that enables free browsing.....

Maemo is know to be powerful OS??? am i right??

coool man

this what i wanted to know:):):)

so now days (you mean) the site are opening smoothly, even java is not there...right??

Re: 300 testers and not a single bit of info
 
as one of the 300, I have posted replies where I feel I am adding to the conversation, logged bugs when found, voted for things, and given feed-back on the apps I have used, i.e. done what was asked in return for the 6 month loan of the device.

Asking for general feed-back helps no-one, where-as specific questions that have NOT YET been asked or answered have always got a reply (at least from what i have seen on here).

In terms of battery life, my experience is that it is similar to my E90 (maybe slightly worse as the battery capacity is smaller). So with regular use, a day can easily be achieved, but large amounts of time with the screen lit, and all of the radios (WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth) on and in use (i.e. active conference use) gets you around 5 hours (so don't forget your charger).
Javascript heavy webpages (i.e. Facebook) seem to cause the CPU to be heavily used, so the batty life is majorly reduced then.

But the using the supplied charger, the battery reaches full very quickly (or at least that is my impression compared to my E90 experiences).

so do u think Nokia will release bigger size battery (1500 or 1700)
as u said, it absorbs alot of battery

In short, "yes". No receiver. (There are some other differences too but that's the one that matters. For a remote control you would have to load the codes to change channel etc. by other means, instead of programming it through a receiver the way I can with my Palm T3).

More battery capacity is always better :)

What I said above is all subjective, i have not done any measurements!check the thread about battery usage of playing MP3's Vs Ogg and battery life for real numbers.
One of the first things i installed was a visual CPU monitor (called load-applet), and that to me shows how much extra load Javescript heavy sites seem to put on the device (remember that this is *still* not final build software).
My experience with the E90 was that it was the high resolution screen that was one of the *major* contributors to battery drain (couple of times i tried using only the low res (QVGA) external screen and the battery seemed to last longer)

My vote would be for TWIN batteries (i.e 2 small batteries used in sequence).
That way, you could have the best of all worlds;
- lighter (by only having one battery in at a time)
- extreme long life (one battery in use, second in device ready to use, and third on charge)
- device is always on (as you could swap out the exausted battery without powering off the device)

People are confusing them. The browser has javascript for web content unless the descriptions are incorrect.

I am not a fan of java based programs since they tend to be generic and resource hogs. Any high level app based code tends to be that way. I can think of a certain Android OS that proves the point.

Still, high level code has the advantage of being more portable to other platforms, so I can see the advantage of at least offering it.

Re: 300 testers and not a single bit of info
 
N900 is not capable of making calls and internet over 3g at the same time. so this is for sure not a phone for everyone.

Is that true? Does it mean if I'm surfing web on it and someone calls me I won't be able to answer??

N900 doesn't support the portrait mode except for the Phone calls....so
can the firmware adjust & solve this issue

Will you please do some research before asking questions which have been answered and discussed on talk.maemo.org over and over and over and over?
