Everything is particularly good except for CHEAP plastic body and below par mono speaker

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

It's definitely a fake.
(I read somewhere) The Galaxy S's will be under 4.5" and it makes sense to create the next editions with (relatively) same proportion of the previous model.
In that case, SGSIII won't be any larger than 4.5" (4.3" screen + 0.2" Navi-buttons) but the site lists as 4.6in.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Kangal: why would that be proof? Where did you get the info that the SGS3 will stick to 4.3" screen+navigationbuttons?

I could totally see Samsung going "okay, here goes: 4.6 inch screen, biatches!"

As for the note... Ill wait for the next batches of phones to show up. Note is awesome, but not something Id sink cash into atm. Half a year ago; definitely.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

I got the Note too.
Will keep N900 anyway because still a great phone expecially for it's linux compatibility.

The Note is good for hardware but software looks to me worst in comparison to N900 mainly for two reasons:
- switching from an app to another takes too long and it's not practical
- browsing is not like destop, like was on N900. I already found some websites that doesn't work like used to be on N900; tried default browser,Opera and Firefox.

Still don't like Android but since I run my own sync service with Funambol Opensource and sideloaded apps I can forgive myself for holding a Google Os.

Still can't easily rsync or connect to nfs. I mean, it's possible I know but not as easy as I had on N900.

After all won't leave the bigger screen for a 3.5 again ... and 1Gb of Ram ... makes the difference.


Someone made work MTP with a Linux box?

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

The only thing that I like in Android over Maemo is
1) Android isn't dead just like Maemo and
2) Latest google maps that are very good for GPS. N900 still has 5 yr old map and I've seen searching is much better in Google map compared to OVI Maps.

Above all else Maemo is a much efficient OS compared to Android. It utilizes the resources in much better way. Its multi-tasking is much better than Android and WP7.5

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Appswitching/multitasking is why I sold my SGS2 for the N9.

As for your browsing needs, get Dolphin HD. Its not like microB, because nothing beats that, but its the absolute best browser for your OS.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

So i'm using the note every day since two weeks.

i never missed my n900. Why ? big screen so its very easy to use the onscreen keyboard, with the app swiftkey X now im typing fast as on a n900... :)

and i dont want to speak about the other hardware specs :D

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Do you want to speak about appswitching then?

;)

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Appswitching is ok. Just longpress homebutton. Not as good as n9, but almost.

Try out the windows 7 launcher. Its better than real windows 7 :D just love the big screen, would have been better with maemo, but since nokia moving to smaller screens. They are no longer an option.
