Nokia N900 vs. iPhone 4G - maemo.org

white_ranger | # 1 | 2010-01-25, 11:27 | Report

I'm confused. I like my N900 a lot, but i've seen some N900 users here that said that they are going to replace it with Iphone 4g. And i really like iphone's design and other stuff, but also like N900.

Do what you like.

The n900 is the first smartphone that is actually practical to use and is open-source which means I can program it to do stuff if Nokia decided to ignore it.

Oh - it is also not locked-down. I can do what I like with it.

In fact why don't you post why you are confused and more importantly what you want to do with your smartphone?

I just bought a new bottle of OrangeJuice, do you think I should keep it until CarrotJuice comes out and replace it?

Need help ASAP!
PLZ respond quickly!

Maybe you are confused because you fear no one will develop more useful apps for the N900 given that Nokia appears to be abandoning maemo5 already.

You may be the type of person that bought the phone by reading all the glossy nokia adds that showed what it could do but are leeery now that you see all the bugs and some hardware limitations.

Perhaps you can not develop cool stuff for yourself and depend on others, and now you see how limited this could suddenly become.

Maybe you won't feel like getting a new phone if you could get some official reassurance that there will be more than 2 decent games in the Ovi store
