Re: HD2 has 1ghz processor and 448MB ram, why not the n900?
 

Amazon does 30 days money back no questions asked.
If you really want to see the differences, you could order a HD2 off Amazon, do all the tests you want for 30 days then send it back and get a full refund.

Remember to get it directly from Amazon though, not through the 'sellers'

No matter how pretty WinMo is made, you still cannot hide the fact that its still WinMo underneath. I would have purchased the HD2 if it were something like Android. Although Maemo > Android

Erm... what are you guys mumbling about. Its not even real multitasking; most of the applications are paused when you exit them. Take bounce as an example, the game pauses when you exit it. Also I have yet to see a video of n900 running youtube without it stuttering. I would like to see a video overviewing all multiple tasks without them being paused.... Put 4 youtubes at the same time lol... forget it guys.

The mouse pointer seems to be poor aswell, seems hard to use.

PAL signal is also interlaced??? Source please.

Thank god, I don't want the game to keep running and ending with a big "GAME OVER" after I get back to it from a call.. hehe.. I do see it rendering the game even if you left it.. but its paused by design.

please don't take this the wrong way

but are you being stupid on purpose?

i just want to know

Re: HD2 has 1ghz processor and 448MB ram, why not the n900?
 

That is most definitely not the case. The applications that DO pause do it for two reasons: a) to conserve battery, b) to conserve a state (like the game example from other posts) on an interruption.

A big problem here is network caused delay. As funny as it may seem, my N900 stutters noticeably when there is FAST connection, my guess is that dowloading also uses the CPU, leaving less CPU for the actual playback. If you wait for the loading to finish, it's quite ok.

4 Youtubes at the same time stutter even on my 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo. Not sure about your point.

You mean stylus ?

Re: HD2 has 1ghz processor and 448MB ram, why not the n900?
 

What part did you not understand? I could be wrong, since i actually dont own a n900, but from what i've seen you wont be able to actually RUN two youtubes at the same time. That is not hearing both audio outputs while watching one of them or to be able to watch both of them simultainously in the application overview. This you can do in desktop windows and that is real multitasking.

Re: HD2 has 1ghz processor and 448MB ram, why not the n900?
 

This is a clever choice indeed, but what if I want to multitask? Which was really my point. It does not multitask.


So if you cant download at high speeds at the same time as watching, how are you supposed to be able to multitask? Also, what do you mean by quite ok? It in the eye of the beholder but any stuttering would irritate me. Specially if I want to enjoy a movie (Ive seen that even divx quality video stutters on n900)

It doesnt on my x2 3800+

I actually take this back, I think its great to have the option to produce the small mousepointer :P

Re: HD2 has 1ghz processor and 448MB ram, why not the n900?
 

more poppycock.
youtube videos seem to stutter for the first few seconds on current firmware, but after than runs totally smoothly. As for video/div x show me a video where this is the case.

As I mentioned - youtube/the browser fully multitasks, as does bounce, as does the Mp3 player - tell me that isnt multitasking - this isnt a iphone mate.;) All you need to do is look at a youtube video to corroborate this, why are you bothering,
