Re: The case for a wifi-only device

I totally and absolutely agree with everything you write.

Nokia had the ball (they owned the pitch!) and threw it away.

I've been using my 800 with a 'mifi' thing from 3 network in the uk, on a...

Re: Maemo Missteps, your thoughts?

Same here.

I came on board for the 770, kind of accepted the abandoning of it for the 8xx as it was the first step, but stopped short of going for the 9 because I'd learnt the lesson of nokia's...

Re: Nokia devices size comparison

it just confirms why I don't want it - look at the beautiful screen of the N810 - rover just won't hack it for watching vids, one of my primary uses for NITs.

tried a n97 at the weekend - if this is the form factor of rover, it's a 'miss'

last weekend, airport shop, time to waste, tried the n97.

it's big for a phone.

it's too small for a NIT. I watched a vid on the plane on my n800 - pretty perfect.

the n97 was too small....

N97 being marketed like a NIT in the uk?

fullpage ads in sunday magazines, internet ads on sites like NME, the n97 is getting the kind of push we all wanted to see for the NITs previously, and the weird thing is they're all based on the web...

Re: N900 specs revealed

i love the influx of people with the doublethink line that a smaller screen is better in all possible ways.

Re: What do you think are the shortcomings of the alleged n900?

t-mobile exists in the uk too, and if that particular tie-in is just for the usa, that usually means some other partner here in the same way.

that also usually means that "an unlocked...
