Re: I knew Meego would fail when...

It's almost 14 months since I made a post here but I was pretty sure Maemo/Meego was doomed with the shambles that was the N900 release. It was pretty clear then that nothing within Nokia had really...

Re: N900 no mic audio

Wow that thread is pretty shocking to me. It looks like Nokia has serious quality control issues across all of its products.

Re: I think that Nokia rushed and released N900 with software that miss many functions

I'm not a business expert but as far as I know Nokia operates on the basis of its products being "for" as many people with money to spend as possible.

Re: I think that Nokia rushed and released N900 with software that miss many functions

Here's a nice idea - how about we consider it reasonable for people to expect a non-half baked product and a timely release for something costing €500+?

Re: Deleted all contacts on my N900, lost my Skype and other IM contact lists from last 6 years

According to this (http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=113198) you can contact Skype and get your contacts restored.

For google talk and MSN they might all still be in your address list.

Re: N900 no mic audio

If only the community knew it could have written a "Check everything on your N900 works" app and had it in extras ready for release :D

Re: When is maemo6 going to be released? will it support N900?

Well firstly you're comparing desktop operating systems with consumer device operating systems. Certainly there's some converging going on but they're different things for different purposes.

Re: Confirmed/CAUTION: N900 Ovi Apps require Corporation + $1M USD Corporate General Liability Insurace

I don't think you understand the point I'm making.

Some here appear to be glad that Ovi doesn't make it easy to sell software for the N900 under the mistaken belief it will keep commercial...

Re: Confirmed/CAUTION: N900 Ovi Apps require Corporation + $1M USD Corporate General Liability Insurace

I guess it depends on how you define "rare". For example there are multiple distributions of Linux that you can pay money for - this is typically for a nice boxed version and support but you're...

Re: Confirmed/CAUTION: N900 Ovi Apps require Corporation + $1M USD Corporate General Liability Insurace

The "reasons" for paying for OSS software are numerous and the point is not that people will always publish the source code for their N900 applications - the point is that source code availability is...

In the real world developers will just go sell their "dead end" software for Android and Apple devices instead and people will buy those devices to access those applications.

That's the problem. Massive changes between versions rarely work out. Think of something like Windows XP to Vista and you get an idea of the pitfalls.

Instead Nokia should be looking at the...

Re: N900 shipping delayed

It depends on the product of course but ramping up production to meet demand is non-trivial. In the case of the xbox360 for example initial yields were disastrously low - on the order of 10%. The...

Re: N900 shipping delayed

They just said it was "shipping" - the only reason we knew it was from the factory was because Peter told us.
