Re: Simple stuff iphone should do and N900 does

It's a compliment. A sincere one.

I'll save the "Yo' mama is so ugly..." jokes for later.

By it you mean the N900 right?

For the N900: Menu > Settings > Internet Connections > Always Connect > WLAN

Well, I don't think that's what he meant. What he was referring to was only using wifi -- no internet data over cellular. I don't think there's any way to automatically connect to strange networks (and I imagine that'd be a legal liability in many countries).

BTW, when quoting a big post like that, you might try snipping down to what you're actually replying too.

Do you mean 'connect automatically'? I have that set to 'any connection', and I have to manually add new wifi networks that i haven't seen before. I also want to use my data plan as backup, so I don't want to set to wifi exclusively.

That is what I have a problem with. Don't like something? You're entitled. Don't like something based on facts that you've collected? You're entitled. Don't like something over something you might have heard to be true but didn't take the time to learn if it were 100% true or not? I'd rather err on the side of caution and collect proper data as opposed to spouting something that could be easily corrected but I've dedicated myself to a stance and thus will allow things to dwindle into petty arguments and a shouting match.

Which... this thread will invariably become like the many others before it.

Yet you read the whole thing, and spent time commenting!

Back when I was a kid we had this technology called "newspapers." It was kind of like the internet, but it turned your hands black when you used it. Anyway, if there was a story you didn't want to read, you could skip over it and go to the next one. It's too bad that the internet doesn't have that feature.

Didn't they just add that to the Skype 2.0 on the iPhone? I don't recall being able to do that earlier - but I've had Skype uninstalled until just a few days ago.

If so... who's not to say it won't come with the next update... on the MeeGo device?
