Delusional appreciation for Nokia's closed "open source" practices, typical symptom of Stockholm syndrome.

Open source/Linux promoters always talk about free software and the benefits of having an own understanding of software.
In actuality most of them aren't doing anything useful with their knowledge, it isn't paying the bills for anyone, it is just providing a free platform for a few basement dwellers and some people who don't want to pay for paid alternatives.

These promoters are analogous to the so-called experts who think they know better than their doctors just because they have access to Wikipedia.

That is until they realize that developing is practically a job and requires pay.
Oh hey, you can copy and paste the same crap in two places. Good job. Oh and you pulled out your sock puppet Bourdain.

Please, GTFO.

The fact is Nokia rested on their laurels: now the giant behemoth is already dead, still standing, and it's just a matter of time before its knees buckle and it crashes into the ground.

The company has no focus whatsoever and it is impossible to turn the ship around, they're gonna be sunk by an Android torpedo regardless of what they do, they just left it too late.

Sir Bourdain, a true voice of the people :)
I do have one question: do you cook as well as you argue? :p
Why thank you my brother, that is quite the honour coming from an internationally renowned Doctor of Medicine, and indeed my gastronomic verve is second to none. :cool:

Two things stopping me from buying an iphone
1. battery
2. camera

now, the camera thing is solved, since it has the newer sensor tech, yet still needs to wait for reviews.

however, I serious doubt the battery. remember the 3GS also promised good battery life, such as 10 hours of video and 5 hours is 3g talk. We all know that these numbers were not really even close to reality.

the biggest upside of this phone over N8 is A4 processor. i just wish that Nokia had good relationship with Samsung although they are more direct competitors.

nokia, please release the N8 already!!!!!!

And yet you still have difficulty responding in a coherent manner to the cogent argument put forth by our resident medical expert. :)

And you've got multiple personalities. I responded to your points in a different thread. Instead of bringing straw man arguments and being completely oblivious of how things actually are, perhaps you should make yourself familiar with what is actually happening in the field.

Or are you just doing to computing what you claim others do with medicine?

I can't wait to see some youtube losers buy an iphone and try to destroy it and see how far they get.

No worries, eventually we'll see if it will blend.

Because judging an entire "crowd" by the most vocal proponents in an internet flamewar is sure to be accurate.

If only it were... Then I could draw some real nice conclusions about iPhone people from you.

Such as what configurability? Besides the hardware keyboard and rather unused IR port... they both don't support USB OTG, they both have a 5mp back camera - iPhone is lacking a cover - both have a flash for that back camera, both have a forward facing camera.

One is single touch, but better with resistive (if you're an artist that is, check the MyPaint thread, it's friggin' awesome the stuff they're putting in that thread) versus multiple touch capacitive.

600mhz A8 vs. 1ghz A4 - I am SO SURPRISED that nobody has said "A8 is double the A4, LOOK AT THE NUMBERS!"... please keep that up y'all and don't say it.

So... what hardware configurability - I'm curious since you said it - is different and lacking in your mind? Sorry to single out your post, but it sorta stood out and I cannot figure out what you might have meant.

Thank you in advance.
