Dude, when US-centric reports are presented to a world wide audience, there is relevance. El Reg should have taken more care to point out how distorted the US market is compared to the vast majority of the world's population who do not reside in the US.

This is a problem with the media in general following US trends and causing the choices of a minority population to influence the majority. We know which OS reaches the most consumers globally, but plenty of idiot bloggers will rehash a report like this around the world, further disseminating dodgy data as being global rather than local.

looks like n900 will win!
if they gonna announce winner in october 1. , i think there is no way for galaxy to gain 3000 voters in couple of hours.....
:D

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

Last time when I looked:
N900: 5638 68.57%
Galax: 2584 31.43%

now:
N900: 5831 68.62%
Galax: 2666 31.38%
:)

N900 increase: 193
Galax increase: 82

If this would go on, we would rather end with a 70% win than with 62% forecasted by me.
:D

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

Well, it wasn't me -- I have N900, multitool, knife, flashlight, spare battery, keys, and a rollypoly pouch.

But no spandex pants, please -- I must have pockets big enough to hold other phone, other multitool, 4" crescent wrench, wallet, 3 other knives, and another flashlight or two...

Surly all you need is a Kilt and a Sporum to hold all that gear :p

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

I'm sure you meant utilikilt.

Are you paranoid about the end of the world or something?

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

He's not paranoid. He's prepared. He has everything he needs to start the world right back up again.

His only worries now are deep bodies of water and very powerful magnets.

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

Hey, glad you liked the post, and thanks a lot for translating it! It would probably have taken me an entire evening to type that translation all in, --especially on the Galaxy S virtual keyboard!

But I didn't even know there was such a strong a Chinese N900 community, considering that there is no Chinese word for "Linux". Thanks for introducing me to that world.

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

we won! xD

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

now what? what you should think we could do with this victory???

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

Nice to see you here :D

Actually they used to say 'Linux' as it is, and in fact their Linux culture is so mature that Linux programmers can easily be found and hired in China.

In case you can't read their replies, I can tell you they like you article very much, and would be very grateful if they could find more scripts written by you. ^^ (you may tell me here if you do really have a repository of such wonderful scripting and I'll give them the link)

Oh you PGP Signature reminds me the good-o-day. I've such a signature for so many years, and I've never ever received one encrypted email, so I took it down. XD

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

hmm.. we won.. dancing to the madagascar 2 moto moto song, big and chunky with both middle fingers extended..
My semi heart-felt condolences to the competition..
Next year maybe...

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

Well, congratulations...

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

Don't look so upset. :D

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

Hello,

I found your other comment amusing:
"RO1=”SGS is better in memory! We have up to 16 GB memory PLUS a microSD slot, and you guys only have 32 GB plus a microSD slot … um, wait, that didn’t work out like I thought. Hang on.”

R02=”SGS has a better display! We have a HIGH RESOLUTION 800×480 screen, and you guys only have a 800×480 screen … er, but OUR screen packs an impressive 92 pixels into one cm of display, but YOUR screen only has 105 pixels/cm … wait, that wasn’t what I wanted to say. Um, wait, let me think …”

R03=”Let me try again. SGS has a better display! WE have a Super AMOLED screen for watching the Lord of the Rings movie in vivid detail on our 4-inch screen, and YOU are stuck with watching it on your screen which is 5% smaller, unless you hook it up to some widescreen TV at home using the N900′s built-in stereo TV-out connection … er, wait, one moment please. Let me collect my thoughts …”
..."

;-)

Congrats to all.
Sometimes my fingers were feeling dumb from voting.
:D

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

That site has yet to publish that the N900 is the winner.

Son, I am disappoint.

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

Yes everbody is eager to find out who won in the end finally ?

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

Congrats!!! we won

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

There is something wrong with the voting site.
I was just able to put a vote!
:confused:

Edit: that's really strange:
http://polldaddy.com/poll/3823479/?v...ults&msg=voted
says that the poll is closed and
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/23538/....html#comments
shows the poll box still working.
What's that?
:confused:

Ah...just now http://www.fonearena.com/blog/23538/....html#comments also shows that the poll is closed.
Strange.

Edit 2: the voting count is correct: 5,985 votes and 2,734 which means that the Galaxy guys also tried to place votes after poll close.
:D

Not my best work by far, but I can't be bothered to do more.

scripting the N900
 

Oh, is that what they're saying! I thought they meant they were looking for the list of DBUS commands on which I based the script --for controlling the phone volume, etc. Sorry, my Chinese is not that great.

It's funny that they are asking for a "collection of scripts" --the two-liners that I had posted I had just made up on the spot. I guess DBUS makes it *soooo* easy to script the N900!

I guess I'll take this conversation to the Chinese Maemo forum to keep this thread on topic (which, clearly, is only about N900, Galaxy S, and the Highlander movies :P ).

Btw, if anyone else didn't know about the list of DBUS commands that I used for the scripts in question, the web page is here:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control

off-topic: Chinese Maemo community & Android
 

Sorry to reply twice. What are they saying about Android? My Chinese is not great --are they saying that they like Android or dislike? Are they talking about Android devices, or developing with the Android environment?

Sorry about being off-topic. I tried to send a private message but wasn't sure how to do that on this forum. Can someone point me in the right direction? (Clicking on "Private Messages" resulted in a "You Are Not Authorized" page.)

Re: off-topic: Chinese Maemo community & Android
 

For spam prevention reasons, each user must make five posts before the private messaging system becomes available to him or her.

Re: off-topic: Chinese Maemo community & Android
 

Most of the post about Android (安卓) is about the installation issues with Nitdroid on N900, like how to overclock Nitdroid. In general they like Nitdroid very much, as they could run all the android apps on N900. ^^

You may PM me there if you found problem PM me here.

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

Grr, where's the announcement already? You'd think that they would be keen on announcing the winner, since they seem to really like Nokia on that site. Did they not like the fact that the SGS was beaten in such a spectacular manner perhaps?

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

Maybe they're preparing the prize...

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

Chuck and Conner fighting it out to see who goes to the prize giving ceremony.
Come on Nokia Give us PR1.3 FTW :-)

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

The grand prize is ... one Galaxy S phone!!!

Just kidding.

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

priceless win :)

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

So... Did I guess the guys at fone arena are still counting the votes? :D

Congratulations N900 fans!

Who's Conner?
I thought the only one who can even follow Chuck is Norris.
