Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

I honestly do not understand why people over here are disappointed. N9 was never meant to be N900 successor. If they had stuck with original symbian + Qt + Meego plan, N9 wouldve been their flagship product for 2011. It might still be. And you know what FLAGSHIPS ARE NOT MADE FOR A FEW THOUSAND GEEKS. They are mass market devices targeted at millions. And N9 is perfect for them. A normal personal doesn't need a HWKB. How many iphone users complain about lack of HWKB? eh. 95% people do not need user replaceable battery. Heck I myself am a power user and ive never bought a second battery for a phone. And USB OTG? How many people actually use it on daily basis? Few.
N9 is THE perfect phone for average consumers out there. Good hardware with excellent software. And I do not understand your hypocrisy. On one hand you want MeeGo(N9) to be retained and used to fight off ios and android and yet you want it to have N900 like capabilities. A geek phone cannot compete ios and android. it is time you understood this. N9 is a much better consumer product than the brick N900 was (this coming from an ardent N900 fan). And you know what no one gives a sh*t if a couple hundred geeks do not agree

what crack pipe have you smoked?

it has a GPS, with the A- bit meaning the GPS receiver can be seeded with data downloaded from nokia's servers.

--edit--
also, a GPS receiver does not connect to the satellites, it's purely a receiver.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

how much more power efficient is OMAP3630 compared to OMAP3430 on N900 ? and since the battery is stated 1450mAh do you think this would double batterylife compared to N900 ?

That's not correct, N900's GPS works also in off line (tablet) mode .

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

If N9 has that wl1273 chip, then it has fmtx&rx maybe they dont have ready software for it.

Sounds like a pentile display to me. Dotty lines ahoy.

Plus N9 got AMOLED screen... but then also larger screen.

My GS and iphone 4 both running essentially the same or same type of SOC both got much better battery life than N900. Iphone 4 lasts 2 days where GS one and a half.

On my use N900 lasted almost a day or a day.

Might be but i don't think so. If it's a pentile screen it's most likely made by Samsung and i haven't seen pentile 854x480 reso screen from Samsung, 800x480, yes.
Engadget compared to screen to super LCD and was very impressed.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

So leave - what do you expect ? ppl to beg you to stay ?

Or are you one of those posters who want to write big drama posts to announce your departure ?
