Mish.

Sure a lot of useful tips there!

But the N900 once more fell short behind the iPhone 4 + iStrap-on combo that allows one to experience revolutionary prolonged stimulation by using other body-parts than the hand to shortcut the antenna's! And it is usable on the road and in public. ;)
Anyway I have read about the leaked N9 having aluminium parts so maybe Nokia might catch up.. :p

Well i have a few comments on this bad Iphone List.


• No Flash support in the web browser

i heard that Opera Mini comes with Flash 10.1 for the Iphone .. and the N900 will possibly never get flash 10 this is the Reason why you cant use it for webbrowsing if you use flash intensive Sites in future.

No, the opera mini does not come with flash on the iPhone and I really doubt Jobs will let any flash players pass his approval system.

• No true multitasking for all applications

The Solution that they choose works too sure its no real Multitasking but you dont see the Difference if you use it.

Eeehhh... it depends. For example, ome things are better the apple way (better usage of cpu, ram and battery), but their way is also quite limiting on things that has to work in the background with open network sockets (IM clients, ssh tunnels).

• No quick switches for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or 3G on the homescreen
Thats truth but really it takes a few days and you get something at the Appstore for this "Problem" or from Cydia..

• No social networking integration in the contact list
You dont need this becouse the Social Networking Apps chooseing the Contacts that you have in your Contactlist you can add them to Skype, whatsapp etc. The Iphone Phone part is worlds better than the N900.

Eeehhh.. I guess this will come down to preference. Some people will want their main lists to be integrated with social networks while others prefer to maintain a wall between real life and teh internets. Apple's way is more limited though.

• No lockscreen or homescreen info widgets or plugins
Also not right there are tons of Programms about this.

Yep, but need to be jailbroken.

• No new ringtones or SMS tones
Also no Problem with a small App.

Ringtones are quite well supported. SMS need jailbroken apps.

• SMS,,email, and calendar tones are still not customizable
Same like before its also possible with the right App.

Yep, but need to be jailbroken.

• No proper file browser or access to the file system
Definitly wrong there are also a lot of filebrowsers aviable.

Yep, but need to be jailbroken.

• No USB mass storage mode
thats Truth but thats a question of the Politics the Iphone uses a really good working Media Player Database wich is works over Itunes this Database allows many Media Player Features a lot more than N900.

No excuses, there is no USB mass storage mode here. But in turn, there are loads of network based solutions because of that.

• Screen has no vibrating haptic feedback
Well the first i set off was this anoying vribrateing for the Screen on my N900 but did you ever worked with the Touchscreen of an Ipod or Iphone this feels just heavenly against the N900 where i have to press the Screen before i move my finger.

Haptic feedback would still be good for virtual keyboards. And there is an app for that (requires jailbreaking).

• No Bluetooth file transfers to other mobile phones
Also not possible bt over air file Transfer is able since the Iphone 3g by an App.

There is an app for vCard BT transmission. For a more general file transfer, there's only iPhone BT to iPhone BT solution.

• Contacts lack a swipe-to-delete or mass delete feature
?

?

• No SMS/MMS delivery notifications
you dont need that really today.

There's an app for that (requires jailbreaking).

• No smart dialing
what do you mean about smart dialing you can have a simple num pad at the iphone too.

there are a few quick-dial apps that offer alternative graphical quick dialer.

• No DivX or XviD video support and no official third-party application to play that

Well okay but iam sure its a Question of time , and i know Apps that can play this well ..perhaps not official Apps its a Question of Licensing did Nokia payed really for this..i dont know..

There's an app for that.

• The whole iPhone is too iTunes dependent and you’re also limited to syncing particular types of content only with ONE computer..

Well if you use the Nokia PC phonesoftware isnt it also depend then?

I think this is a valid feature. There are some practical pros and cons about this, but that's a whole different discussion.

• Signal bars drop – and rather fast too – when your palm and fingers fold around the bottom left side of the handset. Contact with skin most certainly interferes with the antenna and the phone is effectively losing signal and call gets dropped.

Okay but since the this Problem cames up on the 3gs after iOS4 Update too it seems to be a Softwareproblem and be sure Apple wont let Die there Iphone after a halve Year you will get many Updates and also iOS5 for it you will have it for years supported.

No, it's not a software problem. It can be somewhat alleviated with a case.

• Video Call works only on Wi-Fi
Okay thats an Argument.

best regards Crown

Did you guys hear a bout apple wanting to watermark jailbroken phones? There's going to be some kind of watermark on your screen at at all times if you jailbreak it.

Only a rumor of course.

Oh and if you guys really really want a list ow what iPhone can't do...

Useful little list, and anything that the N900 falls into on that list can be fixed with an app :)

@Bec: Yeah, you can just answer straight 'no no no no no' for the N900, unless the proper app/workaround/hack is implemented.

So far N900 is as straight forward as it gets.

Pretty weired but why is people comparing Nokia N900 to other devices such as iPhones? If you are comparing.. why can't you just buy a iPhone and be happy with it rather than getting something that you complaining about.

If you want your N900 to be decent and fast then stop installing 3rd party software's.
