Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)
Re: The iPhone "thumbboard," I've used the NIT on-screen thumbboard, as well as the N810's thumbboard. Neither of them work as well *for me* as the iPhone. Part of that is layout, part of that is...

Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)
A couple of points:
1. Apple has a small share of the (desktop) computer OS market, but only compared to Microsoft.
2. Arguably, the vast majority of software professionals that are familiar...

Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)
a) as an absolute statement, you've just shown an amazing amount of naivete. Apple truly groks the needs of software users in their marketplace, it's what they're known for, and why they have such...

Re: NITs - what are they good for... ???
It's a subjective thing as well you know. I find surfing on my N810 sometimes a chore due to the speed, lack of memory and the rather basic and unfriendly UI.
I wouldn't buy an iPhone (I'd rather...

Re: NITs - what are they good for... ???

All of Nokia's advertisements and hype for the tablets showed them as devices that allow you to access internet services, rather than offline devices. Even the name...

Re: NITs - what are they good for... ???

Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)
Here's the thing. What is not emphasized here is along with the 2-year contract (which came also with the iPhone 1st gen btw), there is an increase of $10 on the data plan -- from $20 to $30/month on...

Re: $199 iPhone 2 (3G & GPS and exchange)

Are YOU serious? Do you really think phones have to be "activated" before they can work with a phone network?

No one (company, group, government) is paying enough to pave way for an 'open standard' anything (device, OS, whatever) to gain market dominance. That is just the way things have been, and I don't...

Re: Nokia is not Apple and will never be
I can see where you're coming from, but Apple has more invested in the iPhone/iPod Touch than Nokia do in the Internet Tablet line. Orders of magnitude more.
