When something is mentioned, it's easy for one to correct stance, especially on the interwebz.

Your comparison is still dumb, Hardware from 20 years ago against software which is something that can never die. You are still enjoying Win95, even DOS under Win7, but try running Win7 on a 286. See the difference?

Lots of people use bluetooth file sharing. Do iPhones, W7P offer that? My father's Android, a Desire, has BT functionality broken, needs 10 tries in order to send a damn .jpeg.

It is a forum but not dedicated to a general political discussion. Your on a web address which reads talk.maemo.org and as far as I recall, Maemo is a penguin. Check also how much space the alternative section takes.

Linux forum and trolling against it, calling it dead, etc, not a good way to prove your point.

Re: Iphone VS N900
 
I have both. One bought in Jan 2010 (n900) and one bought in sept 2010 (iphone4). Suffice to say, n900 is treated as a red headed step child. Just use it to play songs in the toilet . Still works good @ 1100/125 setting but with pathetic support from devs (not includ the community) and nokia itself it failed faster than an electric ferrari.

Now everytime i connect to net on it, the first msg pops up from ovi that the service is no longer available and u need to upgrade at the following link. When i go there no mention of n900. Then there is lyrics widget on the desktop which says it needs to be upgraded but nothing there. So FU to nokia will never buy another phone from them. previously owned n80, n96, n70 something and few others which i hv forgotten.

I see that you WERE a Nokia fan, but now you aren't, you'll "never buy another phone from them" so dude why are you even still on this forum? isn't an apple forum out there that you can join?

I can understand peoples frustration with the lack of support and general indifference shown towards the n900 by Nokia, I sometimes feel the same way, but that doesn't make the n900 any less of a powerful piece of hardware. It is true that the software needed to make it an all round cellular giant was initially left out by Nokia but that is what the community is trying to remedy.

Lets be real, for those of you who don't have the time or the patience to dedicate to the n900 then maybe it's just not the phone for you, for those you who do then you'll find that there isn't alot that the iphone can do that the n900 can't but loads that the n900 can and the iphone cannot

N900 sits by my nightstand for IM and web browsing. iphone 4 is my workhorse these days. it just does well what is supposed to do, with little freezing, great VKB and overall the smoothest performance.

HAHAHA! you mostly have low-quality "appz" that often are merely a website frontend, while we have fully featured programs. And: we even "own" the installer packages for them. :p

Missing functionalities are called apps (lack of MMS app on N900 or original iPhone).

Punt on the name change, app vs program. What has Jobs done? :cool:

Hello. you have this problem because you are using hidden user agent. You should open it and press remove to be able to browse the ovi store.

So what are you doing on a N900 development forum if you use it only for IM and browsing?

Pathetic life? Troll much?
