Huh?

All your claims were *completely destroyed* by the video response to yours.

Go ahead and make more videos.

I'd love to see that user make another video response. His videos are amazing.
Really...by going to a different site than the one I went to?

By not having anything to scroll through in the RSS app?

By playing music in the media player, not the widget like I had mentioned?


You're right :)

It's most likely to have loads of average users in Europe.

Unsubsidized phones are much more popular in Europe + it's being subsidized anyway + Nokia branding and marketing (most valuable brand in Europe).

Some of Nokia's own literature has referred to the N900 as the new flagship... but after searching for it just now I think that's recently been changed. :D

Anyway, nice write-up. Enjoy your N900!

Yeah, I kinda changed my post midstream realizing that I have a very American view of the situation.

If I may, I need to mix some idioms here.

For geeks, the N900 is the mother of all bombs.

Oh and Megacrazy, you can't say, "you can do that if you jailbreak your iPhone" because that is not only not approved by Apple, it will void your warranty. Yikes.

That doesn't sound like a valid comparison. That's like comparing the Droid to an N900 that dual-boots to a hacked version of Android that lets you use the Google apps (which I suspect we'll see in the next few months, and will be one of those hacks that makes the tech blogs go nuts).

That was not my experience last night at all. I was playing with a friend's iPhone 3G and the UI would freeze up and stutter (although the music kept playing quite nicely, I'll give it that) while I was typing and browsing web pages and playing music at the same time.

That hasn't been my usual experience, but it clearly illustrates that not everything is all roses with the iPhone as you seem to claim. (Maybe the 3Gs is better in that respect)

True but unless you bricked your iPhone, you can always return it to default with a flash for warranty purposes.

Yeah I think we're all talking about the 3Gs because it's the same hardware as the N900. The 3G had issues keeping up with rendering pages (kinda like the N900) while playing music...but it was never jerky. That being said, you can't compare the 3GS with the 3G...which is much slower.

Go away psycho.

Megacrazy, but you are not really exactly comparing apples to apples: N900 has more than double the pixels on screen (resolution) to scroll compared to the iPhone 3GS.

If iPhone 3G struggled at times with the lower resolution, wouldn't it be somewhat logical that N900, with more power, might sometimes skip a few beats with more than double the pixels - and content - on screen to scroll and layout?

I'm not trying to make excuses. In fact, I don't find scrolling on the N900 jerky at all (not saying nothing can jerk it, just saying it works just fine in my opinion), but saying that it does have quite a bit of more pixels than iPhone 3GS.

Certainly there are places for improvement in Maemo, and optimization, so not trying to belittle that.
