We need more of these threads.






Ah, I'm sure we'll be getting them...

Eep, the PDF reader doesn't have kinetic scrolling. I read alot of PDFs on my tablet and was hoping for some kinetic scrolling this time around.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

Yes 'd love if the moderators can actually check the IP addresses to confirm the same. I just hope you will pipe down after that.

What is with people? Its the same with IPhone followers. tell them that the iPhone cant multitask and they go we dont need no stinking multtasking... blah blah blah..

I'm seeing the same attitude here also. I'm not denying the phone is good. But yes there are stability and performance(optimization) issues, that nokia needs to look into fast.

I didn't say flash is choppy, did I? Cause I know flash is too cpu intensive for even a cortex a8. That's adobe's fault.

Loosen up a bit, even a n900 can have faults and hopefully nokia will fix most of them eventually :)

Relax. I'm not out to get nokia. I did buy the phone after all :D

Ok here are the issues:

- Smoothness of the scroll is not good at all. In other words if you look at an image it looks like it's jumping around, not sliding around like on other devices.
- You get checkered patterns when other devices do not get checkered patterns (especially when dealing with large images).

Reloading once you get the checkered patterns is on par with other devices or even faster sometimes. Set the N900 side by side with a 3Gs or a Droid...and if the scrolling is just as smooth (do not confuse with fast) I will not sell the N900 but eat it :)

un-named_user, I have noticed a lot of the problems you described but was too lazy to write it all out. Plus, it's the scrolling that really bothers me

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

Does it scroll better when not zoomed in all the way?

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

Really. I've never met a device I didn't want to have improved. The N900 has strong points but it has weak points too. Let's not be so insecure that we can't admit the weak points exist.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

Yeah I might've cut the honeymoon a little short with this thread.

Zoom has no effect on smoothness. The more you zoom in the more checkered patterns you get. Also, if you switch tasks without closing the browser and then switch to it again...it's checkered patterns galore.

I don't know about anyone else.. But Megacrazy is scaring the Bajesus out of me with this thread. I know I was going out on a leap of faith pre-ordering the N900.. but damn, I'm all nervous now! I expect there to be a learning curve with this device and some growing pains. Expect it and look forward to working through them TOGETHER with the community (Ok, actually you guys with the technical knowhow working through it and me tagging along and benefiting from your expertise.. but clicking thanks on the forum to how my appreciation!) I KNOW that my Nokia N95 8GB will have more and better phone functions than the N900 (until a couple of firmware updates hopefully) However the browser being jumpy and lagging?? WTF?? :eek: However, in NO video have I seen, this lag or anything else. Any other review said the browser was by far the best part of the device! So the people who have their N900, is it true??? Is it people being afraid to say what Megacrazy is saying or is this some evil plot to keep me up at night wondering. Aaaaaarrgh, I hate second guessing myself! Damn you Megacrazy if this is a joke.. daaaaaaaaamn uuuuuuu! :mad: :rolleyes:

You can send text messags to some landlines, at least in the UK. But not all landlines!

Some landline companies convert incoming texts to electronic speech, and then phone the landline and speak it or leave a voicemail.

I think you can send and receive proper texts with the right landline phones, too.

But it would be great to have a way to avoid sending texts to landlines by accident, which I've done a few times on other phones when specifying a contact by name in a text message.
Because usually the result is a message sent to /dev/null and the sender doesn't realise.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

It's probably more an effect of not differentiating between home, cell, and work phone numbers. But it's interesting that you can do that jjx.
