Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

I'd eat you alive in any debate back in High School. Your foundation is always weak.

I feel the exact opposite. Nokia took a step back in hardware. This is typical of N90, 2006 workmanship, weight and size, but the software is something brought by that monster in Cloverfield. Nothing comes close.

What is worthwhile to you may not be for others. The legacy game emulators have been pretty popular, and other platforms are copying the trend. As for the stock app, talk to the dev, and maybe make a useful contribution to this community. The room is already warm enough. We don't need any more hot air.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

N900 is a dream device. The software will grow and improve with the community. If you're waiting solely for nokia to make your dreams come true, then you're a living in a dream. This is going to be group effort. Maybe you should have waited for step 5 of 5 before investing. On a side note, I'd just like to point out that classic consoles have been emulated on handhelds at least as far back as the palmsizepc. Just to give credit where its really due, its a good trend that the N900 developer community is following.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

Could you elaborate trying to reproduce the issues(helps me understand things better) general scrolling between the 2 is different, I find it very responsive with a occassional missed click.

Totally agree with you

My problem with it is you can't update from the twitter or facebook widget, that in itself defeats the purpose.

Not having a problem in that area, how hard are you pushing it before it gets this way ? Can't exactly compare a multitasker with a device that can't multitask.

tried this and a few site, only music and random webpages, was smooth fluid and responsive. I did notice a 1-2 sec additional gap when it was going from one track to another but nothing was choppy.

I don't have enough bookmark but can I check out some sites your visiting ?

haven't run into this yet
lol, so you don't want to use the button that let's you do exactly what you want to do...lol. I do think they need to allow the browser to be more configurable.

I haven't had this problem ? The hardest hitting flash I got was at att's wireless site, but that same site crashed my desktop safari and opera browsers(had to many valuable tabs open with ff to try it so I didn't bother)

agreed

I agree with the sync, large amounts of apps are NEVER there at launch of a new device not even with "apple" pulled that off. I do agree with you Nokia needs to do some wonderful updates, but if they tie in garbage(unremoveable google&ovi type stuff) or disable functions and leave me without a way to get hardware improvements the base updates I'll leave and develop for some other platform.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

I can confirm this. Especially in sms view and in photo gallery. There is bug report about this.

Yep. My "Wtf" moment too :)

There is bug report about this. Clearing cache should help, but that´s not the real answer.


I can confirm all these also :|

Totally agree.

Actually youtube is quite fast for me but quality looks lower than standard youtube quality. Very pixelated.

Yep. It´s not smooth experience. Users saying else have maybe not tested other phones or they are comparing this only to other Nokia products.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

You know, I wonder how many people are seeing bad performance because (and this isn't an excuse, it just is perhaps unexpected behavior) they load the device with 20GB of music and then start doing their performance tests.

Of course, the n900 will spend the next several minutes/hours grinding through that 20GB of music (slowing down responsiveness, killing the battery) with the tracker. Meanwhile, the user says "wow this experience, it is teh suck".

The iPhone? It uses your deskop pc and the apple itunes software to do all that processing for you, and then ships the metadata over. Nice, except you're locked into itunes and you can't dump songs on/off the device directly.

Anyway, I just wonder if that may be a contributing factor.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

I have copied couple of songs and couple of trailers, but those are already indexed.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

Nothing like making statements based on nothing and accusing other people of having a weak foundation. Unfortunately for you people have moved on since high school. You bore me to tears so anything else you say will be ignored.

Let's recap a little bit:

- Where is the firmware update that was supposed to be out last year?

- Who really thinks it will add features? I think it will fix 30% of the bugs and add a few features out of the hundreds that are missing.

- In the meantime, Apple is prepping a tablet launch as well as a new iphone a couple of months down the road. What does Nokia do? Try to take them down with patent lawsuits. Well done.

- Google is launching a phone that will probably smack the N900 back to the stone age. Much better hardware and plenty of apps already available.

Yeah, I would say it is looking very promising for the N900. Unfortunately for all of us, I think Nokia is simply too late to the game. I don't see any changes of direction either. They are acting like they are alone on the market and have years to prepare their products. One more reality check coming up for 2010. Anyone care to guess how much their market share will drop this year?

Don't get me wrong; I hope they do get out of this mess and come up with some nice products. Less choices for the consumers is never a good thing. However, until they show any sort of positive signs I will stand by my opinion that they have already failed. They just don't know it yet.

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

released to a select group of testers last year, but yes it is late.
bugfixes. Are you going to give Nokia more then two years to add such "features" as cut and paste? Oh, yeah, that's only OK for Apply, I forgot.
It's the american way... Apple has used that play as well. I guess its ok when they do it? BTW Apple has been preparing (or saying they will never release) a tablet for about 10 years. Guess those $250 netbooks are starting to cut into sales of $300 ipod touches?
Universal Reception: yawn, it's a rebranded HTC handset running android. Oh.... kay.
Nothing like making up your mind using imperfect information :D

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

there is a lot.

so a lot to like.

a lot to think what sucks.

get a phone. get over it. go bowl. get some icecream. hump your dog who cares

Re: N900 - Yes, it sucks.
 

Kinda hard not to get you wrong. What mess are you talking about? You compare the N900 with 3-4 different things and you condemn it for not being better than the combination of all of them.

Let me help you get out of this mess. Buy an iPhone and a Nexus One and the Apple tablet when it comes out, and if you bought a N900, sell it on ebay. Simple isn't it!

"Firmware update last year" instead of "two weeks ago" makes it hard not to "get you wrong", sorry.
