Keep telling that to yourself while trying to use for example spotify or ssh with a windows phone

I tried using a lumia 800 (developer gift from nokia) for about 2 months and the lack of decent task management and multitasking are the main reasons why I stopped using it. You might be able to live with it's limitations if your use cases for the phone are exactly what microsoft thinks they are and you expect nothing more from it.

That's very inaccurate. It may only be true for the minority of US residents who live in & never leave larger urban centers.

Keep comparing Maemo to WIndows Phone 7. It does not make you people look silly at all.

To lazy read this thread but one thing about Android vs WP is:

I now several people who had now buyed the damn Lumia 800 and for them 800 is way better than many android devices they have tested cause it runs smother, does not need triple core CPU etc... And for us having N9/N900 we already knows that N9/N900 is not so resource hungry as Android is.

But the thing is none of them knows about N9/N900. So I say it again if Nokia had marketed N9 harder in european it could had taken back alot of the android users.

So what will I say with this is: Its all about marketing and those people stupid enought beleive Android manufactors like samsung will eat Nokia are plain stupid.

Nokia will come back. Personally I still dislike the fact the killed Maemo6 Harmattan and go WP only but that is how it is. Personally I will not buy any WP. I still hope for a Qt based geekphone in the future. Maybe when Nokia is back in bussines...

Not compared to N9 cause N9 has better camera, nfc, cooler os.

HELLASISGREECE | # 57 | 2012-04-14, 11:46 | Report

also has larger screen, front camera for videocalling, free bluetooth, mass storage mode, 64gb memory, better OS
etc
etc

edit: for the fun of it, The fully promoted and advertised Lumia 800 has 29% daily interest on gsmarena
The N9 has 93%....

yeah Nokia...you really felt people's pulse with this one....

Does your hatred of popular and good tools and companies make go forget your spellings and write meaningless things like ipotato and lostdos and what not? Quite funny actually to see someone writhe in agony to spell the correct usage.

Anyway back to topic, so how much of ablip on the mobile landscaoe did maemo/meego combined register again?

point taken, but you do realize that sometimes not everybody wants to tweak things on the ohone, rather just have it work out of the box?

I can say by my own experience, I loved tweaking and the customizations options, but now with lesser time I love to have mydevices just work.

Theres really two sides to every coin. Believe me.

My N9 does lag and stutter occasionally, but at least I can make use of it. It's a work horse, not a shiny catwalk model that can do nothing except for looking good.

No multitasking. C'mon, you cannot seriously call WP a smartphone OS...
Even Android can emulate multitasking better than WP does.
