Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!
 

stop screaming. you did it about 30 times in this post. Its quite annoying reading posts like yours.

How long is a meter? Every measurement comes with an uncertainty. Assuming is when you observe something and draw a conclusion together with a certain uncertainty. He has a right to assume anything. To be critical is good, necessary and encouraged in sciences.

Well it depends on how you define multitasking. That the software is using CPU at all times or if only one uses CPU at a time a the others are sort of in a hibernation state ready to be picked up at any time. From what I have seen, the n900 is capable of true multitasking. It does not mean, however, that all the 30 applications seen on youtube are utilizing CPU simultaneously. Nevertheless, the author of this thread is asking relevant questions that are refreshing in such a Nokia-friendly site as this. Don't shout.

You seem to be assuming lots of things yourself.

The author doesn't question this


First of all, iPhone does multitask, just not out of the box.
Its not much harder to make the iPhone multitask than installing the package needed on the n900 to get the terminal-window running. Secondly, my amiga 500 and my nokia n73 could multitask; this isn't the new world. Thirdly stop shouting.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean others don't see it. Now you are assuming again. It's just like people said 24 FPS on a TV is enough to make it smooth. I need about 80 fps in a computer game to call it smooth. I doubt the nokia n900 is capable of that even in the menu. It is how you define smooth. What is your definition?

no comment

Actually, it seems as if you are the one assuming too much.

Excuse me but you are the worst troll.

You are just plain rude and should stay away from forums where people meet to discuss on an intelligent level.

I am running Maemo 5 on my desktop computer hence it doesn't have to be n900.

want a wireless cable? RealityCheck you make yourself become a clown and I dont know why. You have no idea of the tech side of the world! Now consider to be able to forward your picture/video to somewhere else just now as one of the first of humankind... not earlier now is the second. that was lots of years ago. now you fwd your video to a network-attached-beamer...

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!
 

Exactly my point. At least someone seems able to reason on this forum. The others are just plain immature.

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!
 

I can watch a computer game on youtube and say its shite without having played it myself. There are thousands of people reading this forum because they don't own the device. If we buy the device or not is decided partly by the input and feedback we get from forums like this one. Yes you are supposed to take his opinion, especially since he has held one in his hands which is more than most people here have. You've exposed yourself as irrelevant and stupid. Tell me, what is the minimum amount of time spent with the device for forum-writing-qualification?

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!
 

Youre right, you can form an opinion about something by watching it for a few seconds. But that would be the difference right there between an opinion and an informed one.

So shoot me for choosing to take the word of several ( at least 20 ) device reviewers, who will have had pre-production devices ( ie not as good as porduction devices ) to review and have not mentioned the issues raised by realitycheck. Shoot me again for believing my own eyes based upon the several ( at least 20 ) videos I have seen of the device running the apps, switching between apps, playing video etc.

If that makes me irrelevant and stupid, so be it.

However Im not the one starting threads ( that scare every potential owner of this device ) based upon very flimsy evidence ( if any ).

I am not for blindly defending a product, or a manufacturer - far from it. If you read some of the other threads here you'll see Ive been having a go at ossipena for endlessly defending Nokia no matter how much they cock things up.

So I am all for healthy criticism, as long as the person doing it can back up their claims ( in any way at all ). Otherwise all we have is a classic troll. If you want to associate yourself with this guy by defending his viewpoint you go for it. Dont expect me to listen to you either then.

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!
 

I have been using an N900 for over a month now, and not experienced one single issue you mention. Take it from me, you have obviously been exposed to either an N900 with possibly a corrupt memory card fitted, or one that has early prototype firmware.

I have been running several applications at any one time, without any issues, no jerky side scrolling, in fact, mine has been smooth scrolling thoughout a couple of firmware changes.

Please do you homework before posting in future, as this thread is quite simply taking valuable time of members here who could be elsewhere within the forums, helping and advising other members who really know what they want out of the N900.

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!
 

Erm.... The author of that application already explained in this thread that RealityCheck was right about that, and that the video was being generated by other 'heavyweight' computers under the control of the N900.

Re: Disappointed with N900 - Reality Check!
 

Why are you talking about true multitasking(no application idling) ?
Imagine how fast the battery would drain if applications wouldn't idle when needed.

Then you would be complaining about battery life.
