Re: Why all high end devices have something stupid in them?
 

QFT. The thing I always hated about the Android LG I have is that I lave to pause what I'm doing just to get a speck of dust out that's driving me nuts. It's impossible to clean it. N900 can be wiped clean with no damaging input, especially if you swipe from outside the screen.

Also, same screen size (just about). On N900, it seems sufficient, as a 80x30 button is easily clickable. On the capacitive, it's a gamble.

And with multitouch, getting two fingers in there REALLY makes the screen look small, insufficient. I hate Mah Jong, chess, all games with pieces. I hate the games where you need to cut through because you cant's see what you cut, it's under the finger. Excellent games and apps, ruined. Web stinks, need to zoom on everything.

So, resistive is a personal preference.

Additionally, is that all you have to comment on N900? When I had the Android, the only thing I wanted was to tape them together. All the stuff I lack is in there. Broken down power consumption, better battery life, things that work, app base. Then, I remembered how I like Telepathy, precision, and computing power. And a good camera. Man, we have a good camera. And a keyboard.

When is a thin enough Android phone coming out so I can tape them back to back? I'd carry that brick around, because it would be the ultimate brick. I dare you to beat my brick. Dual SIM, capacitive AND resistive, full OS AND games and apps, the works. Problem is, the cameras don't work because they're back to back. I should add a hinge. Man that would be sweet.

Oh, yes, madness runs in our family. Some people even called ME mad? And why? Because I dared to dream of creating a race of atomic monsters... atomic supermen with octagonal bodies that suck blood...

what does 'stupid' & 'perfect' mean?

Surely everyone has a different opinion. I actually prefer the resistive screen on my N900 compared to the capacitive on the N8. So the screen is perfect to me- but not for you.

Time isn't helping either. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, so say you buy a phone with a 12mp now, then after literally 6 months, there would be a phone with say 16mp.

Just be happy with what you got. :)

You COULD look them up. http://www.m-w.com is pretty good.

I'm probably one of the few Android-liking people around that would prefer resistive too, actually, but I'm fine with capacitive too. I've learned that they both have their distinct advantages.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. Have you learned nothing from the Guide? Besides, your point is absurdly, nakedly obvious and compels me to respond with, "Duhh!" :)

What?? Screw that! I prefer IMPROVEMENTS over status quo any day, you Luddite. heh :)

It has a good hardware and Android(One of leading OS in the market) except that its android is always out of date. When android 2.3 was being made they had their stupid a**es on 1.6. Now they finally got 2.1 and 2.4 is under consideration.QUOTE]

I dont see that as a down side what so ever, it shows they care and want to improve/evolve their OS rather ignore it and hope it dies like some notable maker of smartphones.

I had a crazy old lady as a neighbor at one time...
She liked to call everything that doesn't go her way 'stupid'.

It was mildly amusing to see her curse off doors, cars and the likes.

Re: Why all high end devices have something stupid in them?
 

I agree with danramos. I was disappointed when N900 came out with resistive touchscreen, as I had always thought it's inferior to capacitive one. Turn out I was wrong, resistive touchscreen has its own advantage; and yes, N900 has the most sensitive resistive touchscreen I've ever used.

In response to OP, God doesn't create perfect human, how are you supposed to expect any human being could create anything perfect? ;)

Stupid old lady.

Re: Why all high end devices have something stupid in them?
 

If I drop an N900 on the ground and smash the screen, I pick it right up and keep using it because I believe in the 5000 millisecond rule! God made dirt, dirt don't hurt! Omnomnomnomnom!

Re: Why all high end devices have something stupid in them?
 

meh I prefer resistive touch screen, any other software problems with the N900 can be fixed by the community
