Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

And we do not already know this? yet ANOTHER 950 thread hits the forum.

Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

old news.

what's new?

Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

Good to hear that. Previously it was rumored, now confirmed. Any specs on this?

Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

More or less done with buying Nokia experiments. Love my N900 and will keep it till it dies, but when it does I will move on. Nokia phone maybe. but one running Wp7 or Android [IF it ever happens].

Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

Only thing missing? Dates.

Otherwise, this is repeated stuff.

Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

REPEATED!!!

but i want to say, I hate the design!!!! i would like to look like N900! but thinner!

Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

dual-core CPU 1.2 GHz?
1 GB RAM?
Dalvik VM?
QWERTY-keyboard?

IF 4xYES, I'll buy.

Re: Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year!

I think, this device will never be called n950. He called the device "n950", to mark ist "as a successor of the n900". Out of an embarrassment, nothing more.

1. N900 has gps+agps it work regardless of if you are in coverage area or not, if you are out of cell range it takes longer to fix your position.
"The device has an autonomous GPS with optional A-GPS functionality" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900

2. most phones and devices that use agps DO NOT have autonomous GPS, how it can kind of track you when you go out of cell range is by fixing on your last known good location then using data from the accelerometer and the compass. this works ok for about 1000 meters or untill you move off the current map display.

This is the case with my wifi iPad and ALL agps phones that I have ever tested.

"Although some AGPS receivers are capable of functioning as a GPS receiver, most are unable and would stop functioning once you go beyond the coverage area. GPS receivers are not restricted to the range of cellular sites and you can get a fix just about anywhere on the surface of the earth." -- http://www.differencebetween.net/tec...-gps-and-agps/

3 this site does not agree with your assessment that either the Samsung Galaxy S OR S2 have GPS + AGPS http://www.differencebetween.com/dif...d-vs-galaxy-s/

Is it just me, or are you (and I both) confusing AGPS with cell-site triangulation? You can have pure GPS (like the N800 had where there was no assistance for a quick fix on location)... and then there's AGPS (which most cell phones today can do, which combines satellite data with GPS for a QUICK fix)... and then there's the ancient iPhone 1 and iPad style cell-site triangulation or maybe even WiFi Positioning, that it sounds like you're talking about.

In any case, you might want to know that Android phones such as the Galaxy S2 are, indeed, GPS with AGPS for quick lock-in on location. Further, you might even consider that Google Maps with Navigation employs HYBRID positioning, since it uses GPS, AGPS, Wifi Positioning (yep--even on my old Droid I get that little dialog saying I can get EVEN MORE accuracy out of Maps by just leaving wifi enabled) and so on.

In any case, you seem very very confused. It's okay. We can't ALL have our hands-on experience with every device to remember these things better and more personally.
