For the ones who say the N900 is too bulky...
 
1 Attachment(s)
Found this old Motorola in my parents house... Helps to keep your perspective about evolution of technology...

Just a quick Comparison

Motorola International 3200 VS Nokia N900


Battery Life 1 Week - Battery Life 2 Days (No even touching it...)
Powerfull defense weapon - N900 won´t hurt that much
Fall proof (will leave marks on the floor but will keep working) - N900, yet to fall... (hope not)
Works your Bycipe everytime you answer a call - Can´t workout with the N900
Antenna unclogs toilets, drains and picks your nose - Stylus is much smaller, If you have a big nose or deep drains, forget it...
Cool Factor (chicks love it) - N900 won´t get the same attention
Still works after 18 years - Good built quality, but 18 years?!?!?
No MMS on Both ... :D
No Motorola app Store - Ovi App store Rubish
No Flash 10.1 on both (For now... Motorola will launch first...)

Did this for fun, I Love My N900, best Phone/Computer/PDA/Media Center/RemoteControl/SNES Emulator ever!

Wow, I am sorry you had to go to such extreme measures to make the n900 win.

I wonder if you tried taking the 3200 on a plane if they would confiscate it as a concealed weapon, tie a shoestring to the antenna and you could take out 10-20 zombies!

LOL! Again n900 is mostly computer maybe you should have compared these 2 then?

OK serious... Speaking of bulkiness this should do it

Proof n95 is the most thick of them all compared to 5800 and iphone so I guess n900's size wouldn't hurt thinking n95's bulkiness was openly accepted by it's users. :p


Quote:

Model = Length x width x thickness
n95 8gb = 99 x 53 x 21 mm
Iphone 3gs = 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm
5800 XM = 111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm
n900 = 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm
there that should do it. :)

Re: For the ones who say the N900 is too bulky...
 
pretty sad you have to go back 3 years technology(n95) to justify n900 excess thickness. lets see what we get for this thickness

awesome battery life - nope, even though they could have fit a larger battery in the housing if they removed stylus holder
awesome keyboard - nope, better than droid, barely better than n97 and way below e71

i wouldnt mind the thickness if at least there was some technical advantage to it

The n900 is 19.55 mm thickness also.

It is a tonne heavier than the n95 also (61g more) with its standard battery.

You forgot to mention dedicated hardware keys for the calculator (MR and M+)

Another win for the Moto...

Didn't think anyone would hold so old hardware chunks.

By the way apcoelho, where did you get your wallpaper from? Looks quite good to me.

I think it's this one if I'm not mistaken.

If you're complaining about the bulk of the N900... you seriously shouldn't carry anything heavier and thicker than a notepad and a pen.

I fear that most people in society have become way too weak... complaints about 5 pound (2.2kg) laptops and the sort. Pfft.

The n900 weight (181g) and size (19.55mm) is a rather poor trade off for a rather small screen size.

The 5", 5 Mpx cam, with probable USB Host, 9.9 mm Dell streak (above) is the true successor design imo to the original internet tablets despite its 220g.

Available to buy for £399 from its release day (~£200 cheaper than the n900): here.

Nice thread, i found the phone quite heavy at first as i was used to a really slim phone, however i love it now, it has really grown on me. Just remember this is not a phone with gadgetry, its a pocket powerhouse you can make calls with. I didn't get it to look cool i got it to tinker with and glad i did ^^

N900 heavy? How about Nokia Talkman. In a self defence situation, I wouldn't want to be the other guy! :)http://www.nokiamuseum.com/images/Mobira%20Talkman.jpg

We had this in our house:

http://www.cntr.salford.ac.uk/comms/...nicebg350s.jpg
1997.

Battery standby = 1.3 hours talk.

Weight = 225g.

Dimensions = 156 x 47 x 35 mm.

I used to rack up huge phone bills as a kid listening to the time and dialing stupid things.

there that should do it. :)

Sorry, all I can think about right now is "there's something on the screen there is something on the screen". You put hard stuff on the N900's screen. I had to cut the images from the reply quote. You're cruel, man.

Yeah, but who'd wanna walk about with half a sheet of shuttering ply all day long? :p

Besides, I find the N900 a lot more comfortable to hold than my old N95-8GB.

Villo is right, I am using Carbon Theme with this wallpaper Link

About the size ... I came from Sony Ericsson P990i (I regret much...), then Nokia E90 (brilliant but unsupported inner screen) and then N900, as you can see i´m used to big phones and the N900 is pretty slick to me.

I use a Noreve leather case for my N900. Im pretty happy with it but it adds about an extra 50% thickness. One benefit of this is that the phone seems very slim out of the case.

I guess thats like someone stamping on your toe to relieve a headache though.

The N900 seems small compared to my old Treo 650...
