Just to show you how amazing the Galaxy S Camera really is.

I have a monitor on the thread, if it's pulse stops, I resesitate it!

What do you mean that you need luck to perform copy paste? From modest?

To me ctrl-a + ctr-c & shift-arrows + ctrl-c works fine.

what is modest?

if i want to copy text from the browser is difficult

if swype is active (like in memo) it is easy either activating the special editing menu (or whatever the name) swyping from option to 5 ... here you have some arrows and some functions

N900 is still a great device and unlimited potential. Galaxy S may be of use for non techies but ppl wanting to explore, Maemo has it. Agree that the support and apps are not to the expected levels. Overall, so far N900 is the best!!

The best? Better? All relative, I'm afraid -- a matter of perspective.

The trick to knowing what choices are individually optimal is to *know* oneself and the options available.

Unlimited potential means nothing in todays smartphone market, especially with the N900, I feel disheartened by it tbh and am seriously considering the Galaxy S or its sucessor or equivalent instead

The N900 *did* have potential but sadly it appears to either be abandoned or a lot of players in the market have completly side stepped it which is a shame

When I first got the N900 I thought fantastic look at all the things I can do with it or should be able to do with it with all the talk and buzz about it

Im still waiting for the Formula 1 app (which will never happen I dont think)
Stellarium hildonized version
Backtrack mobile
Wirehshark hildonized version

and a few other apps

Now I know these apps arent available on other devices (that I am aware of) apart from F1 and a few others not listed

I want more portrait modes for default apps like email and sms etc

Sadly im tied into a 2 year contract though so dont really have the option of selling up, I just have to keep hoping things will change
