Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
 

I'm sharing my experience when using the device, and, frankly, its not for you to tell me what threads I can or cant participate in. Its important for the purpose fo balance in such threads that both parties give their views.

You are not happy with your N900, bad luck. Sell it. Move on. Same advice to the OP. No pressure.

But, dont spend all eternity berating those who dont have a problem who bask in the pleasure of owning one and ffs I'm not going to enter into discussion about problems which might or might not occur (eg the microUSB port) when at this point in time the only issue I've had was my fault; a broken screen. If the USB issue was huge their would have been huge outcry such as that of the iPhone4 antenna. But their hasnt. Maybe 1000 cases worldwide and thats nothing.

I like the N900. I like Nokia....always have. Perfection doesnt exist, but for me, the N900 is the closest on the market to what I want from a smartphone. Its different from everything else and it can do clever things....I can geekify it and go commandline on its a55 and those things which allow me into the workings, to make me feel really like owner of device, make me like it a hell of alot.

If you want point and shoot get an iPhone....:cool:

The N900 aint point and shoot.....its adjust...adjust....change....modify...ker-boom. Something amazing happens. Or not. Keeps you guessing. Its ace...and I'd very much like Nokia to keep making this kind of device.

android in general, yes. but what about spesific handsets one must buy if he wants android in first place?

Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
 

why are you comparing 3 year old device and the newest devices from htc? is there a specific reason to be biased?

Fast? Who wrote n900 is fast?
In some situations yes, but extrem lag frequently occurs.

My n900 broke (micro usb port) now while it is being fixed (on warranty thank god), I bought an xperia x10mini pro.

What pros does the x10mini have?

Better apps for daily use
Better function as an usb modem
Better kayboard (how did Nokia **** this up? the n900 is 500times bigger and has a worse keyboard?!?)
It's a phone, not a crappy internet tablet with crapy phone function included

I may sell my phone when I get it back, but it would have to be to a hacker, cause I wouldn't sell it to a regular person. I would feel I was cheating them

Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
 

Man, you should post pictures of your hardware mods to your n900 - it sounds really cool.


Better kayboard


n900 is 500times bigger

It´s not 500 times bigger.

Why you didn't bought phone in first place?

.edit
What´s wrong with people nowdays? Everything is so extreme and black & white. Engadget & gizmodo commentators disease or what is going on. Or am I just too old and boringly diplomatic?

Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
 

You are 500 times too old and perhaps as much too diplomatic. Trim it back down to 250 or so and we'll talk.

Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
 

Everyone is so very defensive when it comes to their "toys" it's stupid. It really spawns from the time where the argument on the school yards was "my toy is better than yours".

I guess you can sum it up to a lack of maturity overall.

Today's Internet community in general from what I have seen lacks in any intelligent communication. I am not trying to act "high and mighty" however when you have seen one to many "zomg your phone sucks get xxxxx phone instead!" it almost makes you feel ill.

What makes it sad is that I not even "that old" (26).

Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
 

Fair enough.

:rolleyes: it is huge. It is a design mistake. Stop downplaying it!

The iPhone4 antenna issue is also huge, but I can tell you that in my country, the issue is far less apparent because we have relatively solid 3G network coverage as is mandatory by our government.

If you know a way to easily fix my USB port, do tell.

Tons of alternatives to iPhone, N900. Android-based devices, for example.
