that's the whole point of the poll - to establish which phone / tablet has better "technical merit, marketshare/popularity nor vendor's support/performance". :P

I know you are discouraging us on claiming immaterial glory over artificial ballot.

However, you just can't ignore the implication - that the ballot itself is to determine who has the bigger (and probably better built) community, rather than who has better hardware and better market share. That's what matters for an opensource platform.

Sure the kind of excitement of winning the ballot would just be as much as hitting a flying fly with your piss, or throwing a can into a rubbish bin 30 meters away, and surely we won't use that as our banner "I HIT A FLY WITH MY PISS TODAY" don't worry. XD

3043 votes total and the Samsung is making a comeback... (Not really, but gained almost 2 percent since I last checked) 78.8% for N900.

Nokia N900 78.62% ....

Love the reasoning :)

But the Galaxy is better at technical merit, market share and vendor support / performance. As are many of the phones on the poll.

So a load of people voting for the poorest performer out of the two is not helping. I would have thought the better use of the poll would be to let N900 come last. EVERYONE on here voting for another phone to send a clearer message, afterall Nokia don't listen to us and to be associated with the crappest phone is more problematic to Nokia that coming as an 'also ran' in a poll. (then again a lot of their phones are teh crappest phones ever on various polls, depending on what the poll is, so what is the point of polls?)
Better to be stand out from the crowd for something, the message is therefore clearer and of course bad publicity works far more than good publicity if you have a message to carry across.

I voted for samsung but I spent all weekend using my HTC tytn2 as a phone because of the crap N900 not holding charge, resetting every time I pulled out the battery and losing the sim card. So I voted based on my experience of the N900.

@twigleaf1976
Tell us more about this crap experience. I´m highly interested!

Re: GRAND FINAL!!!! VOTE NOW!!. Fone Arena Smartphone Championship - N900 FTW!
 

just voted. the n900 is murdering the samsung so far

Re: GRAND FINAL!!!! VOTE NOW!!. Fone Arena Smartphone Championship - N900 FTW!
 

Well 8 phones came last and only one comes first, so obviously you stand out more if you come first. My opinion is that coming first is a sign that the N900 is still worth investing in, as opposed to coming last where you can safely forget about the N900 since nobody likes it.

I would never trade my N900 for any of the other phones in the competition so therefore I would not vote for any of them. Opinions and usage vary, so you're entitled to vote for whichever phone you think is the best, and based on your bad experience with the N900 your choice is perfectly understandable.

Should it not do that? Do other phones keep going after you pull out the battery?
