Re: Nokia E7 vs N900 - Hands-on
I noticed, some of those established review sites have incredibly terse and odd reviews. 3 minutes of video from a guy in a bar who struggles to remember the specs for the phone. They do have 25...

Re: Nokia E7 vs N900 - Hands-on
You can set it to only sync via wifi. You can turn 3G and GPRS off separately. It also has safeguards against apps linking over 3G while roaming. Shouldn't be a problem. It's a sync, not a...

I knew this day would come.
It's a new OS, with a new look, new browser and new hardware. This means stuff ain't quite here yet.
First shocker, BT isn't ready. The drivers are...

Dear forum.
I have upgraded my E7-00 and, as a result, I am OUT OF HERE (http://www.nokia.co.uk/gb-en/products/phone/lumia800/specifications/).
Nah, I kid, it's a great forum and I didn't get...

Re: Nokia E7 vs N900 - Hands-on
I have no info on whether or not Belle will be a standalone. I assume it will build on Anna, so you might have to install Anna before anyway.
It's hard to say if Anna fixes things, as I didn't...

Forgive my bluntness, but you're doing it wrong. E7 is twice as efficient with battery compared to N900 - mainly because it has a much more efficient screen, less overhead overall and, with a...

As a matter of fact I have.
AFAICT, it's exactly the same as E7, with some differences:
* Camera has more megapixels in still mode, but same optics for N8 versus E7, so little gain in quality...

Re: Nokia E7 vs N900 - Hands-on
I wish they left me my N900, but no dice. Even with no GSM signal I wanted to keep it, but with GPS dead it was kinda pointless, if all it does is web I'd better go for a bigger screen.

Re: Nokia E7 vs N900 - Hands-on
E7's Symbian browser does that too. Doing the wait thing is actually faster, because it doesn't do as many partial renders and because it no longer loses as much time seeing if user did something.

Re: Nokia E7 vs N900 - Hands-on
That narrows it down, but I still disagree.
N900 has traded ability to manipulate page for gray hash. IPhone has traded it for white paper. E7/Symbian in general doesn't. As the review says,...

Re: Nokia E7 vs N900 - Hands-on
Don't take this the wrong way, but either you have a magical N900 or you have a very different concept of time. N900 is not smooth by any standard. From shipping, it has tearing and is jerky. One can...
