Actually Exchange support IS pretty crappy since it doesn't even work with my vanilla Exchange 2007 setup.

We'll that is sure one long invisible A/V cable connected to the N900 don't you think.

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!

The first video I saw about the n900 was late august , the one with the two finnish maemo fellows (one had a imac) , and it was pretty impressive , way before adds.

I'm dying to see the next iphone adds : "with the new iphone 4G , you can now do two things at a time"

rofl !!!

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!

I'm a huge Nokia fan, and the N900 is awesome, but some of you guys need to learn to take a little criticism without flipping your lids. RealityCheck makes some valid points, and shouldn't be attacked just for raising some questions on this board.

No reality distortion field.

Wireless data transmission...you know that 21st century technology that allows you to transmit data wirelessly. Just because we see video data being received wirelessly doesn't mean we can't transmit it--considering the guy wrote the app specifically to do this. Maybe if you actually do more research on this, you'll actually see what the guy did.

It's funny how I gave you all those links, proving you're wrong on the N900, yet you still can't face the fact that you're wrong. Instead you choose the one link that isn't fully explained in the video of 'how does it do it' so automatically you choose it as a basing point to strengthen your statement, even though you have already been proved overwhelmingly wrong by pretty much everyone counter-posting.

In response to that I'll just quote JayOnThaBeat

Especially what the person has no validity at all. Also you say he makes valid points, so why aren't you posting those valid points that you believe he's correct on?

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!

You are almost completely wrong except for this:

The advertising shows an N900 being built with glowing stuff that looks like pixie dust. I am (almost) 100% sure that there is no pixie dust in the N900.

I'm glad you haven't ordered an N900 yet. There's a lot of excited people waiting for theirs to come, and you would be wasting a perfectly good spot in the queue. ;)

I'm not sure this device can comfortably run two or three tasks at the same time, from what I see in all the videos it is more "Task-Switching" rather than Multitasking and even that is not very responsive. When an option is selected, there seems to be a noticeable delay of about 1/2 second before the device responds - Very slow internal storage?, Overworked CPU? I don't know.

In almost every demonstration video of Multitasking, the user has to tap the screen a few times to switch tasks, almost like the CPU goes to 100% busy for a short period of time - particularly after starting the music player and if you listen carefully the music is jittery when switching tasks.

Task-Switching is not Multitasking, having said that, the N900 seems good at Task-Switching given that most the apps demonstrated are actually doing nothing e.g. IM, web page, etc. these are all 100% idle apps waiting for input.

I don't understand, technically I don't think the Cortex A8 is SMP or HT in any sense. So yes it is Task Switching in a sense. Actually its called time sharing I believe. I am pretty sure IM, Web Pages etc ain't IDLE either. They would be doing data transfers in the background like html refresh, IM status updates etc.

Also please give more information like video, firmware versions, installed additional software, running processes.

Thank you.
