Nice article in Symbian Freak
 
http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/00...00_and_n97.htm

Along with Eldar's preface to the N900 review, it is a must read. Nicely written Chris! (christexaport in this forum for the ones that didn't notice).

Nokia really needs a real Maemo logo. Watching bloggers mutilate the maemo.org one is getting old.

I really do not like "word art" style logos.

I love that site! texrat is a deep cat, for real. I write in an informal manner befitting the setting of those forums. We're mostly friends, and very laid back. I bet most of those guys DON'T read tabulacrypticum, but are major techies and gadget lovers, and pretty good programmers to boot.

Nokia dominance not to your taste? I would take Durian over Apples any day.

I would have to agree with food writer Richard Sterling when he was quoted as saying this about durian:

... its odor is best described as pig-****, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia.

Too much speculation and too much text. If your title is 'the truth about X' I expect something of the quality of a scientific paper.

A good writer reflects constantly what she wrote, uses credible references, and is able to say a lot using as less words as possible because she realizes readers don't have time to read yet another Holy Bible after a long day of hard labour.

I recommend the writer of the article reads this article by Texrat: How Nokia helped improve my conversational style.

Man, I really appreciate the referral! (same to allnameswereout) :)

I'm trying to broaden the scope while at the same time incorporating themes relevant and interesting to at least part of this population (:D). Keep reading!
