That's just more religious talk. ;)

Re: The N900/maemo feels like a Dinosaur
 
I absolutely love the idea behind Maemo and have been following it since early this year. I'am a gadget lover and have no experience with coding or similar, but i do love to make the device my own and customize it to the end. Device needs to able to do things like my computer, but still have integrated UI that flows very much like osx. Feature list needs to be in the SE, Nokia, Samsung category. Maemo is my best bet and looking at Maemo 6/harmattan, it really cant get better than that for me.

Thought i do totally understand the iphone point of view. Iphone 3G was maybe one of those 3 devices that amazed me on the first start even with all the hype behind it. I just grew bored to the device and wanted to do more, but there was nothing really wrong with the device.

As you seem to love piracy so much im sure transmission on the N900 is way better than the iphone. Also firefox beats safari hands down! But give it 6months and you'll come crawling back.
Never used a commercial application or game for free so not sure why I would 'love piracy so much' - unless you think all P2P is about pirated apps.

I'm starting to understand what ages and types of people that makes up this community though thanks to posts like yours and some others.

Moderator: Please move to 'for sale' category'.

Re: The N900/maemo feels like a Dinosaur
 
There is a hardware difference too. After a stint with a touchscreen device with no keys (Touch HD), a keyboard is a welcome addition; and I love the camera shutter.

A few weeks ago I'd have laughed if you said I'd be getting a Nokia, but here I am. Its the concept that did it. Freedom is a wonderful thing and open source can be just that as long as there are enough developers to port stuff across and write fresh as required (I'm sure there will be). I want to consider being a developer for this myself (first time that has happened to me), don't know where to start but its got me curious. No more putting naughty (but tolerated) xda-dev-firmware on my phone - yay!

I got an N900, I used it for a week, I've been reading threads here, decided I didn't like it, posted why I personally feel this device is a failure compared to the iPhone and walked the talk by offering it for sale.
Sorry if that was too much trolling for you.

Re: The N900/maemo feels like a Dinosaur
 
Don't forget a lot of people just wanna be different too, no harm in that. Anyway, I hope you get a good price and the N900 finds a good home.

I'm off to dream of endless amounts of free stuff for my N900 that I want - hope it comes true. Peace out.

haha cant do "most of the stuff"?
where is the true multi tasking for iphone?
where is the full customizable homescreens?
where is your flash support?
where is your 256mb + 768mb linux swap RAM?
wheres your keyboard?
where is your decent camera? flash?
where is micro sd support?
resolution on the n900 is far superior.
have fun being locked into itunes.

you come into this forum to bash our phone but you had to go through a process to get the features we had out of the box

ps, i love downloading flash games from the browser then playing them on my n900.
