Re: iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.1): The Journey Continues

Here are some article I find very telling, iPhone 3GS with whatever old version of iOS vs N900, N900 wins, hands down, that's why I bought one in 2008. But times have changed:

Re: iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.1): The Journey Continues

That's where I have to disagree with you. If you wish to claim that the Maemo running on the N900 is enough to be consider a "computer in your pocket" but the iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1 jailbroken is...

Re: iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.1): The Journey Continues

If there is something to write about then sure, but until I have had it for at least 6 months I wouldn't feel confident giving my opinion to a community full of developers on the subject.

Re: iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.1): The Journey Continues

I agree to an extent but you seem to overlook a few points:

1) Nokia was #1 followed by RIM, not anymore, there are reasons for the weather you want to admit them or not. The vast majority of...

Re: iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.1): The Journey Continues

Are you running Android on your Note 2? As I believe you can run a few other OSes on there. Is it rooted? How do you find it in comparison with the openness of the N900?

I was mistaken about the cable, I don't recall what came in the box in November 2008. I don't see how it has this huge relevance.

I feel much of the N900 community has the same mentality as George R. R. Martin:

Re: iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.1): The Journey Continues

Yes, Apple has coined that "Air Drop" and works very well, surprisingly. (I have always found many Bluetooth file transfers and connectivity to be finicky)

Re: iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1): A look back at the N900

Re: iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1): A look back at the N900

This is the best argument I have heard, and it is a very valid one (depending on your definition of "full"). I don't know of another device that does allow the user to do this other than the N900 and...

Re: iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1): A look back at the N900

That's exactly what I am saying. The only reason I am singling out iPhone 4S is because that is what I have in front of me and it also seems to be what the Maemo community is least informed about.
