MMS? If that's it, I'll have to stay out of a lot of forums for quite a while or the Apple-crowd will tear me apart. - I remember what I (and others) wrote about a "phone" that couldn't even do MMS ;)

Well at least with this platform if features are missing we as developers can code them. It wasn't so much a big deal that the phone couldn't do mms (talking about the iphone) but it was moreso that apple would reject any application that implemented that feature.

Won't have that problem with Maemo.




Kind of have to agree with them regarding the space bar key. It's really a bonehead move by Nokia and that's coming from someone who loves Nokia phones. There is no advantage (in typing speed) by moving the space bar to that location. If anything it presents a learning curve for using the phone.

I doubt anyone types faster because the keyboard was shoved all the way to the right. It's a feature that doesn't add any benefit to the phone so it really isn't a "feature" at all. Plus people are going to take one look at that keyboard and say they don't like it. That's just the nature of consumers.

One thing I want to write is a virtual keyboard that has NORMAL keyboard layout. Nokia is simply going down the wrong path by having to force users to adapt to a new keyboard. It's a bad idea...

On the contrary, N900 seems to have lost a lot of the original geek factor historically associated with NITs. It now looks more like a normal Nokia smartphone, similar to 5800 or N97. As I need to replace my current phone anyway, N900 looks like a decent solution.

ok then go to a lunchroom or cafeteria or restaurant and play a youtube video using your n810 and digia@scene (where is the volume control on that btw?) or canola and then play the same video on a Nokia N95 8gb putting the volume all the way up on both.
