First N900 Review - maemo.org

SD69 · #1 2009-08-19, 19:02

"Those who are familiar with Diablo (Maemo 4.2) will feel right at home with the N900: same on-screen keyboards (despite the phone having a hardware one) and it’s considerably easier to switch input languages than in S60-powered devices. All in all, not much has changed, it even sports the same memory setup. The phone’s 800x480 pixel resistive screen (pretty responsive, by the way) is great for watching videos and the kickstand mounted on the N900 only helps the experience. Perhaps they’ll decide to throw in a stylus into the box, much like the one that came with the Nokia N97."

"Dialling Pad" ?!?

I don't have the thing in my hands, but screw it... I'm filing a bug anyways!

It's... it's beautiful. I have nothing else to say.

Apparently, the fullscreen hw key is now apparently a soft button in the upper left corner, and there is no ESC key. The $64,000 question is:

If you are in full screen mode, then how do you get out of full screen mode?

"dialling" is an acceptable British spelling.

The English is awkward in many places, and some of what was put forth I knew a year ago, BUT it was STILL very informative. Nice.

Yes, the same country that brought us "Follow the sun" coverage as a formal term for 24-hour support (see ITIL V3 spec).

Okay, it's out there. Cough up what you know. Information about other future products optional.
