BUT I DON"T WANT A PHONE! lol I guess that is my only gripe. I have a phone and I like it. But hey, that's life right?

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

no syncML via http? seriously?!?! how am i supposed to sync, then? i'd missed that issue so far.

sounds even less excciting now. hope syncevolution will still work.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

The stand looks gay, sorry couldn't find any more gripe.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Looks gay? Uh.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

It likes to have sex with stands of the same sex.

Duh.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Ah, that makes sense. I first took it as an ignorant red-neck comment.
Thanks for the correction.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

It's the lexicon. I wouldn't take any personal offense to it.

I say stuff's gay all the time. Just a force of habit.

I blame the 90s

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

I think you both might be right.

My real issue is with it being a phone. I live in Japan and I have a phone with Softbank. They are pretty cool in that they have good English support (my Japanese is terrible, I sound like a 3rd grader) and they are pretty cheap. The problem is that they only let you use their supported phones. No outside handsets. So unless they pick up the N900 I am out of luck, unless I feel like changing carriers. Wow, as I type this I realize how torn I really am . . . maybe I would switch to Doccomo just to have this thing . . . hmmm.

Oh yeah, the stand is a little funky though.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

So you think the stand is bisexual????

Now I'm really confused (like the stand apparently).

I'm going to bed...sleep off this day of excitement (and rum ;))

Night, y'all.

Please, don't believe the pages where is said that the email client is Nokia Messaging, it isn't. The email client is Modest, the same Diablo client but with bugfixes, new features, and new UI (and surely new bugs). It supports POP, SMTP and IMAP.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

My gripe about Nokia phones is how they lose resale value so quick.. so I'm not looking forward to buying the first batch.

Whereas something like the iPhone, you can buy, try it out and resell it at an even higher price if you don't like it :D (ok, that's not a fair comparison.. but, you get the idea :P )

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

sorry just my habit for not finding the right word (woke up till 4am reading about n900 and alarm at 8am) I really don't like the stand built in n900, it looks small and fragile compared to n800 and n810.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Still mobile skype, so that's a 99% no. Get over it, Skype (as an application) sucks. Mobile Skype even more so. Mobile Skype on Linux... Uh, let's not elaborate :)

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

You didn't have to dash my hopes that harshly ;)

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Sorry :) On the bright side, we'll have a flesh and blood Skype manager giving a presentation on the Summit. I wonder how long will it take until he gets this question pinned to him :) The 'CPU is not powerful enough' excuse is getting lame :)

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

I am still wondering if there is the possibility to send MMS messages? If there is not, then I complain about that. Otherwise I can't find anything to complain about.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

There are rumors that the Linux version has been used successfully...

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

The second mode allows for cursor positioning without passing a "click" through to the web page. The simplest use for this would be to activate mouse-over controls, but it's for all web applications that expect a user to be able to move the cursor without a button-down, button-up. At their Maemo Summit 2008 session, Andrey Petrov and timeless announced the Fremantle the browser would support switching between two user-interaction states like this. At the time, they didn't yet know if the switch would be accomplished via a hardware button or on-screen control though.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

How is right click accomplished?

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

I don't recall them saying exactly how a right-click would supported. If I recall correctly, the feature announcement was more general, not going into specifics of what button or on-screen control would do what.

Tim and Andrew may be able to say more in a week.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

i think about this too all the time since i read the details about the browser.

not being able to do things like "save image", "copy image location", "open link in new window (tab?)", "copy link".... would mean i'd have to wait until an alternative browser becomes available. i can't recall one single brwosing session without using any of these functions.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

N900, has accelerometer?

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

With the capacitive screen, i think right click (context menu) would be called up by holding down for more than a sec.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Full Skype on ARM Linux ? Linkie ? :)

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Has ! 3D at that !

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Ummm Linux in general :)

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Apparently, they left out my Pop Tart slot idea. This sucks. I do not want one anymore.

Tim

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Well, there are at least two Skype employees registered for Maemo Summit... Something's cookin'.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

... same way as with the 770s/N800s/N810s resistive screen. how would touch screen technology influence such a UI design decision???

the question is if it's implemented at all. - a lot has been left out because "the average user doesn't need it". - i hate the average user. if ever i meet him he's in trouble. serious trouble.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Ah that. Well, it took them a couple of years to finish a 64 bit version, even, much less an ARM port. Ah. Wait. They didn't finish it, it's still in beta ! :)

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

n900 will really be too heavy !!! Specially with 32Go !!!

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

It is usable, nevertheless.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

May I have yours then, please? I prefer my Pop Tarts untoasted anyway.

No comment :D

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

So... uh... call me uncultured, but... euros are worth less in France than in the rest of Europe? I thought we all saw the "500 euros" price... so I don't know why the chart is saying 650... unless it's a joke or...

Enlighten me.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

500 euros without taxes (VAT). So you add taxes and some more because everything is always more expensive than announced :)

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

European VAT (taxes) are not uniform, member countries can decide between 15% and 25% as they fit (with some rare exceptions). 650 would be 30%, so there some extra fee or tax involved probably (for example in Serbia we also have an extra 10% mobile phone 'luxury tax').

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Heavy VAT? It's 599 in Germany with 19% VAT +EUR 4,- to get a x99 price ...

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

Comment :
I remember the N810 was at 500€ (Ok, 499€) in France when it first was out. That sucked since that was the highest price in all Europe, and that was the reason I bought a QWERTY version on eBay instead.

I even found a proof of that : here


If the N900 is 500€ in France too, I'm buying it from Nokia this time. (and it would totally change the slope on your chart)


PS : but I believe the price will be over 500€, since it's already 599€ in preorder in Germany and we have a higher VAT.

Re: n900 gripe thread
 

There is no bluetooth DUN or PAN. That's kind of major flaw for a phone. I know that it's not too hard to make community support for this, but it should be there out of box for >500EUR phone.
