Re: Zagg InvisibleSHIELD for N900 (was: I need your Help Zagg Invisible Shield Request)

I have the screen-only protector installed and have not noticed any difference in screen responsiveness - but then again I hadn't noticed in the n800 or n810 when I had them. The rubbery texture...

Re: SiliconValley Analyst wants Maemo "Axed"

Suggesting that any member of these forums would be happy with a 3310 or 3330 is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is the hubris that we're a majority of the cell phone toting population.

Re: IRC on the N900?

Are you referring to the vulnerability that led to a certain percentage of ssh keys that were easier to brute-force than others and was fixed within the week with no known loss?

The renegotiation exploit doesn't give a man in the middle your private key and has absolutely NO impact on the security of ssh in this context.

Re: Lots of n900 talk, but what of n810?

Mark another tally for a device w/o a cell connection and n810 physical size (or at least a cell connection I can use - CDMA only here).

Also, you may want to raise the issue with Nokia - they aren't obligated to read or respond here (though some employees are active members).

Re: N900 specs revealed

No, I caught it. I guess where I was going with it is that Nokia didn't create the IT market, and MID's are popping up everwhere. And if you want to be technical, they aren't competing in the iPhone...

Re: N900 specs revealed

I hate the keyboard on the ipod touch. I don't think there can be a comparison between a hardware keyboard (n810 style OR blackberry style) to the ipod/iphone. Got a buddy who swears by his ipod and...

Re: N900 specs revealed

If it's a capacitive screen with a hardware keyboard, why would you really need a stylus? Same for a dpad. It's effectively how I use my n810 now. The only time I need the stylus or dpad are for ui...

Re: Recommended Screen Protector

I've used the zagg.com ones. They're more expensive, but they last a really long time. Of course, that may be overkill with a new device due out in ~6 mos. and others here have had concerns w/their...

They do.

Re: A few question on N810 before buying one

If he's aware of the purchase and is leaning toward the n810, that's the way to go. I've had no pixelation issues watching videos (and currently have the original Star Wars trilogy on here for long...

Re: N810 is totally useless.

A single purpose device may outperform the n810 at the task it was specifically designed to do. The point of the n810 is that it does more that a stand-alone gps receiver or an ipod touch, etc.

Re: A few question on N810 before buying one

The iPod touch will have better video smoothness since it's pushing 1/2 the pixels w/200MHz more processor. The web browser isn't bad either. The n810 may be overkill for what you're purchasing this...
