When all the iPhones and iPads failed to show the FIS Nordic World Championship Sprint Finals live, it took a Nokia N900 to get the job done.

At this distance... that could be any phone. And at that distance, they couldn't see much on that 3.5" screen.

But the thickness could be a good indicator it was an N900.

No WAY there is any OTHER phone THAT big. And the tilted screen makes it absolutely sure it is an n900.

And I believe him. There isn't ANYTHING an iPhone can do that a n900 CAN'T do, but there are MANY, MANY thing that n900 CAN do, but iPhones CAN'T.

Glad you believe him. If anything, I'm questioning it because of the angle.

Lemme guess... questioning bad, praise good?

It is probably just a thick B&O TV remote control that the old guys are admiring at.

But I'm compelled to trust OP in this case and I don't know why.
