Something about Maemo 5, N900 screen-shots and some information about N920...

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
Well, the second link's concept drawing is just that, I don't even see what it actually has to do with a planned N920 -- it seems just speculation and "if-I-were-to-design-a-phone" fantasizing.

I do not see, architengi, where you get even speculation that the N920 is not going to have a hardware keyboard. (I guess there's an obscure reference to it in the link you posted in Post #3.)

If N900 has Office (Word docx, Excel xlsx, Powerpoint) only in read mode and Ovi Maps with no voice guidance, N920 will have full document editing capabilities and full Ovi Maps.

no voice guidance is a function of maemo5 (i think) rather than the hardware, if its going to be in 920 im sure they'll add it to the n900

Yes, I think the upgrade to Ovi Maps "voice guidance" will be available on N900 once the firmware upgrade will resolve the licensing. The upgrade will come with a monthly subscription, thougth. DRM also needs to be added in the firmware of Maemo 5, in order to run OVI STORE application downloads. I am not sure if DRM will be added for music on Maemo ever, because Nokia Music Store will renounce on DRM for the music files.

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
I think editting of Office documents is also a Maemo OS thing, not a hardware issue. And I thought it was confirmed that the n900 will be getting the Maemo 6 OS anyway?

Mid 2010 should be interesting (when I'm planning on getting the n900). If the successor is out I might consider it. Though I would take a hardware keyboard over a better camera and even a capictative touchscreen if the n920 was keyboardless.

UCOMM 2009-09-24 04:26

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
i think the n900 remain top of the line for maemo5, anything else will just be a new form factor

The N900 Office suite is provided by Datawiz. Trial = read only, paid for = full editing abilities. Please, don't go around spouting this kind of misinformation.

Why are you posting N900 screenshots in this thread?

And all these "reports" are just coming second and third hand from our good buddy Eldar.

They are from N900. If you read my original post (#3) I stated the screenshots are from N900... isn't it?

The pictures are from Eldar's www.mobile-review.com , they are related to the link posted before on #3:

>>> Something about Maemo 5, N900 screen-shots and some information about N920...

http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1253762364

Yes, the screens are from N900, of course the N920 or the version of Maemo 2010 is not yet running anywhere, and I posted them because (1) I think these screen-shots are interesting for (some) people including me, and (2) I think these concepts of Maemo from these screens will not change (dramatically). :D

@ppl not happy on this thread
And yes, I know some ppl unhappy on this thread, from Quebec, CA and US, are still at war with Eldar and Russia, so there are so much allergies in the air when some link to what Eldar posted appears here... (or some of Eldar's or screenshots are referred here...) What's so much obsession about this phone, can it wash dishes or improve you sexlife or what? Or it's all crap on US TV channels and you moved to this forum?

Ok, let me get this straight, you had the phone in your hands, but you didn't post *ANY* screenshot and now if I am reposting (on the "second or third-hand) two or three of Eldar's screenshots, you finde a problem here?

I really don't understand..., can you please or some of the guys who give you Thanks, put some light on what's the issue here on this forum?

JayOnThaBeat 2009-09-24 07:13

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
Why wouldn't a thread about the "N920" be full of N900 screenshots????

Everyone knows that when speculating about a rumored device, you fill the thread with screenshots from another device!!!!!!!!

That's how things get done.

BTW, here's my N920 thread pics contribution:

It all makes perfect sense.

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
A moderator please just delete this thread. It simple does not make any sense, the reports we have about the device are not much yet, and compensating with some screen shots is an "old-school" practice that does not foul these people here.

Issue is that there's no n920. Nothing in the SDK, or anywhere else stated, no hints that there'll be ANY other device, not from Nokia, there aren't even rumours on any blogs. It's just ONE person that has said that there will be a n920, without showing any proof.
If you want to believe just one guy that there'll be a n920, you might as well believe me for saying that there'll be a n930 that'll be a clamshell running Android or something.

So again, there are no rumours anywhere, it's just one guy that says so. Until there're rumours that are confirmed from 2-3 other _independent_ sources there's really no point in discussing it further.

While everybody knows they will go back to Diablo with Maemo 6 your screenshot is totally fake. On real N920 prototype the clock should read 2010, not 2008.

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
I'm just surprised that there isn't a poll attached to this thread asking whether or not we plan to buy the N920.

So out of character imo.

there are ppl here that think they are smarter than they are, this is the reason of all this bashing, smart-talk and fouling around... this is specific to this forum, but understandable when missing something else...

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
This is pure speculation, not 'reports'. There is nothing of substance known about Nokia N920. None of the links provide any information about a possible Nokia N920. No relevant information about a possible Nokia N920 is quoted. Except some bad journalism is referred to which itself is nothing but baseless speculation. IOW pure horseshit! Someone please close this *****ic thread of misinformation/flamebait/troll/...

For the record, Nokia did publicly state (if nothing else, from Nokia folks on this board) the N900 is the lead device to a family of Fremantle devices, and the SDK/kernel *does* hint of a RX-71. Whether that means N920 or some other model is unknown, but the existence of more devices deep in the pipeline is not a question.

@allnameswereout: Nice avatar, hehe :)

Re: About N920 - some reports
 
While still tmo noob, I already feel like this talk about N920 is all about whether or not to get N900 just "cuz the next device is almost here". What would doubters do closer to the release of supposed N920? Start waiting for the next device to be announced?

The wheel has already been invented, there is no more "the last invention to wait for, start buying now". There will always be the next thing.

Passing on rumors like this, it almost feels like fud. And I repeat, I don't know anything, all I write is based on how I react to posts in here. Well maybe that wasn't a repeat after all. :)

Alot of us believe that because of the smaller screen, we do not consider the N900 an internet tablet, just a really good smart phone. Until the release of an additional model, we can only hope.

my personal wish since this is a fake thread
to buy *any* nokia device and be able to choose the OS

N97+maemo - sure

N900 with s60 - ok sir.

I guess you wouldn't consider a device with a 5" screen an internet tablet either then?

Perhaps it's more an intranet tablet.

You are right, I would not consider a device with a 5" screen a "pocket" sized internet tablet. For example, I had a 3.5" Garmin gps. Then I bought a 4.2" one, much bigger screen. When I later checked out 5" gps receivers, they were just too big to be carried around in my pocket. If I were 6' 5" and 280 lbs, my bigger pockets would probably hold a 5" device.

Too bad there's no possibility for anything other than an "Internet Tablet" or a "really good smartphone". Because I can't get the N900 to fit into either of those pockets.

My first Nokia mobile phone was so big that I left it in the glove box in my car! ( I quess I could have carried a really big "man" purse).

I love my man bag almost as much as my tablet. Now all I need is a new appropriately sized (paperback) tablet and I'll be over the moon.

Of course there are lots of other requirements otherwise I would just have bought a smart Q5. Upgrade the N810 dammit!
