Lol i didn't ever visit this thread previously as i thought it was just N900 vs Galaxy S vs iphone 4G etc. done by Fone Arena.
Good job guys. :D

As a Galaxy S and N900 owner i can say the right two phones got the the final.

well Strong userbase < strong community in a poll like this. Hence the very tight N900 vs palm pre poll.

Looks like they can just call of the competition and give it to the n900 cause with over 71% votes there is no catching up for samsung

The N900 lost 100 votes in 2 hours. If that rate would be steady (which is doubtful) the Samsung would win (about 60 hours left, - 3000 points in 60 hours, differance now 2700)

Still, this is far from over.

Galaxy is not going to win, don't worry.

Because even if we assume N900 is just a smartphone, and that something like Galaxy S can be compared with it, N900 is better.

uhhh...guys, I'd hate this becoming my first ever post. :(

Somebody just got the word out at xda-developers forums to all Galaxy S variants forums(Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate, etc,).

We should be expecting a number of SGS votes coming in. :eek:

Just FYI :D

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

Nokia N900 69.78% (4,666 votes)
Samsung Galaxy S 30.22% (2,021 votes)

Galaxy S's users are clicking very fast. Do something. ^^

Ladies and gentlemen, we're currently winning by a landslide.. but whoever wins, does it really matter?
Some things remain true no matter what the voters say or believe..
The N900 rocks and will still do so a long time from now!
But seriously, VOTE!

It matters if N900 win the championship, doesn't matter otherwise. XD

Re: GRAND FINAL!!!! VOTE NOW!!. Fone Arena Smartphone Championship - N900 FTW!
 
The whole Maemo community is backing the N900
Where is the Android community?
Are they letting down their great OS just because of not owning a SGS?
Maybe we should just inform some Android developers forum so they can't call "stolen victory"?

Isn't it so that Android phones are so generic that it does not really matter which one you vote?

My vote goes to N900 but to Maemo as well! (that N900 can run android is not being taken into account)

Yes, it does matter, because it's important for it to be made known how the N900 doesn't even really belong in the same league as the smartphones (the N900 isn't even a smartphone, really, more a handheld computer). I mean, those of us who have a Maemo device know why it is superior, and it's not just rhetoric or fans cheering on their favourite.

But people outside the circle don't realize that, so they just see it as a smartphone (kinda like seeing a desktop computer as a really expensive typewriter). I think it does the world more good to let people know: hey, you're missing out on something awesome. And if the N900 doesn't win, then it would be a real pity when someone shopping around for a device just says, "I glanced at the FoneArena Smartphone Championship and this Galaxy S thing won, so I figured I'd get that."

No, this is not just some popularity contest. This is a chance for open source devices to stake a claim on the map. It does matter. Go vote. Now.

The 1 tangible benefit that I can discern to this event is: free publicity.
Another one: it could be a unifying exercise for this community.

The free publicity could potentially turn negative if any dishonest practice (mass botnet voting, etc) is behind the win. Then again, any publicity is good publicity eh? ;p

mass botnet voting is really a huge overestimate about polldaddys level of measures against multiple votes..

you can click, but the vote is not counted. That is why it tells you that "We've already counted your vote"

Voted and watched this thread from the beginning and now
I leave my lurker status.
;-)

@mece and others:
we had some 80% at the beginning but it was obvious, that we cannot keep this.
Especially if the increasement of votes is not that high.
I watched it:
Our votes increase by approx. 51 to 58%
the Samsung votes increase by approx. 42 to 48%
so in the end I guess we will win with approx. 62% (from my calcs).
8-)

These were the numbers of votes at certain times (I did not
record the time stamp):

N900 Galax
---------------------
3873 1306
4057 1480
4075 1493
5030 2212
5050 2221
5060 2227
5081 2236
5104 2239

and currently
5140 2254

From what I read on the reviews it seems that phone is only good if you are a phone geek who wants to mess with the OS.
Ain't for the person who wants a dependable phone. So let them win.

If the N900 wins, will Nokia start supporting?

Everyone seems to be taking themselves too seriously...

In general it doesn't at all. Most of us are proud to be owners of this device no matter what people say.
But this thread and the activity of people voting shows we are great community and it's very nice.

PS at least I like that there's one general place like tmo than many different forums.
