I Agree with you. Android is so fantastic it will bring peace to the world too.

Please can we merge this thread with "all whiners favourite thread"

I actually don't have a problem with his ranting--the only problem I have is that he doesn't come back to elaborate or explain anything. Makes it a pointless pissing post with no purpose. Even a ranting complaint is a useful post so long as you're around to talk about it and have a discussion, but I'm guessing that wasn't his intention. It's very disappointing.

Even Mike has lost the plot :rolleyes:

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

As much as I want to disagree on some level, I can't. I don't even hang around here for constructive discussion anymore (sometimes, I'm pleasantly surrpised by it, though.. but it's getting rarer)--I go elsewhere for that... and find myself returning here mainly out of some kind of meager hope that things will improve. I've been severely disappointed as time goes on, though. :/ Breaks my heart that what I'd hoped for and wanted out of Maemo is slowing down like a steam engine running starved of fuel... slower and slower

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

If you read his words they tell a story that is more true than false and all because Nokia DID lose there way because of bad development, so really he sums it up pretty well.

Pointless to tell him to f.off because that is what he will do anyhow.

WP will either make or break Nokia now as they have nothing else left.

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

And i am not sure if you have noticed but Elop has been "allowed" to completely take over Nokia and it's future and THAT really does spell the end for Maemo and Meego.

The guy has obviously studied risk management and is a great sales person, look at the way he presents himself and then look at his passions and goals, you will soon come to realise WP IS his only objective and he really WILL and IS killing everything else for it.

Haha I hear you there. Then again I can say Linux here and get nothing. I think people buy what the media tells them too here. Haha.

I still remember working in retail. I sold one N900 I was amazed. But most people said. 'Do you have the i-phone with the wifis and the 3 gees'. Best yet was a guy who came upto me 'Do you sell the I-Telephone'

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

To be fair, he might have been slightly ahead of his time and MEANT to ask for one of those futuristic eye-contact telephones with augmented reality texting (ala Torchwood). As soon as you tried to correct him and said, 'you mean an iPhone?' he probably had to pretend to play dumb so as not to upset the future by tipping off someone from Earth's past. ;) You should have outright asked him, 'Are you from the future?'

It was time to experience something else, but with everything in life, if one doesn't make an effort with stuff (Smartphone, community, wife, life, friendship >fill in the gap>, N900), then one can certainly cannot moan about it later.

;)

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

Well, you CAN moan about it, but you'll be ignorant and corrected a lot for it. :) You lend far more credibility to your compliments and criticism by travelling down different roads. Good on ya, man!

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

Well, I just sold my android phone, I'm new to maemo, and have to say it's great because I love Linux :)
My first post...:D

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

Welcome, although if you really loved Linux I'm curious to find out what you ended up getting to replace your Android phone. If you truly love Linux, you are far more likely to have bought something open-source rather than open-core, so I'm very interested to know and I would like to see if it's something I should look at. Maemo didn't do it for me, ultimately. Please, share.

Wow is it really that hard to see some truth in what he's saying? I didnt buy the n900 because im a Linux geek... Or because I can program... I bought it because it was a breathe of fresh air from symbian.
But now I will admit i miss Nokia and developer support. My wife has the n8 and its 'exciting' getting regular updates from Nokia.
I WANT whatsapp and games from EA and all that stuff you guys seem to swear against. I dont only want Nitdroid or Preenv where theres BUGS and a 'compatibility' list.

tis the truth. I love my n900. I want the n9. But Support and 3rd party apps that come out at ver 1.0 and not ver 0.3407 does matter to some. Stop beating on the not-so-fanboy n900 owner.

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

Do not try and bend the truth — that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no truth.

If you tell me that you read the original post and find something constructive in there to discuss, then I tell you you're a liar.


I have been using Android for the better part of this year. For every useful Android app, there are a thousand useless. For every useless Maemo app, there is a useful one.

Re: I am sick and tired of Useless Maemo Apps, iam about to say goodbye to Nokia
 

So, what you're implying might be... there are very, very few apps at all for Maemo? :) Great selling point, there, Bucky.
