What sucks the most in N800?
 

Okay I haven't had my unit for that long a time yet and all in all I love it, but there's one thing that is very wrong with the design. It's the zoom and full screen buttons. Suppose I browse the net in the dark. It's then impossible to see these buttons and they're so damn close to each other that it's really pure luck if I manage to hit say the full screen button instead of the minus button. Also, can't all the buttons be illuminated at dark all the time? It's almost impossible to "feel" them.. like say the home button or the one above it.. very easy to mix up in dark if you want to act fast.


But all in all I love this little gadget. Goes so well with my N95 :)


edit. I see they've actually addressed this problem in the N810

Hum for me it's more the email client ...

Yes, well that sucks too. Are the 3rd party ones any better?

No ... not mine ... (Pyne4Maemo). too slow and port unfinished.

Clawmail offline imap doesn't really work. :(

Just drink less booze, then it is easy even in full darkness.

:D

I am quite jealous of all you people that have an N95... It's not so easy to come by in the states...At least not for a reasonable cost...

Hmm.. I never look at those buttons anyway (they're on the top of the device after all), so using them in the dark or not doesn't make any difference to me. I occasionally press the wrong button, but it's not something I notice as problematic. I can feel them fine.

What's, for me, most problematic with the hardware is that it's so difficult to see the screen in daylight. For the software it's that the email client doesn't use the imap message-already-read flag. If it wasn't for that I would be perfectly fine with the built-in email app.

Other than that.. not much. From a developer point of view it's a bit of a hassle to Hildonize the applications. I'm currently putting things on ice waiting for the updated Hildon in OS2008, but I can't stop feeling that Hildon could have been done in another, more transparent way for the GTK developer.

No really intuitive way to put the thing in standby.

What I like most is that I have unlimited data for 9,8€ a month. It's not at full 3.5G speed (it's just 384 kbit/s) but still it's rather nice. Definitely fast enough. Definitely don't feel like paying more for a faster connection. However I have been thinking about dropping my 4 Mbit/s line at home (36€ a month) and getting a 2 Mbit/s mobile broadband for 29,8€ a month instead. But then I guess I would have to buy some kind of thing for my computer..

Built-in Jabber Client is toooooo slow.
Using Pidgin is faster, but I hate that it is in the "taskbar". In the "Statusbar" would be cooler. Supporting Exchange Server would be cool, but IMAP4 is enough.
