A few points (i hope they haven't been already covered, tried to search but found many out of date posts)
  • Latest Firmware - how do I know if I am on pr1.3.1?Are there any unofficial software updates?
  • Touch Screen Sensitivity - Comapred to the iphone 4 - the touch sensitivty feels so much less, is that hardware related or soft?
  • Over all smoothness of the UI - swiping some times 'lags' a little. Doesn't feel 100% smooth - I use TransitionCtrl which has helped massivly in terms of smoothness but is there more?
  • Over all speed - I have over-clocked but still don't feel as though its fast - webpages don't load as quick as I would like, scrolling through my email feels laggy. Remember I am compared this to a JB iphone 4


I still to this day feel the n900 along with maemo 5 was the best phone/OS that never was. If Nokia invested correctly in Maemo and continued to fine tune - it would be the leading OS! There are many apps that I am now used to for every day life that simply don't exist on the n900

Thanks for any help - really want to try and get phone as smooth and reliable as possible
I'm sorry, a little bit off-topic but... what are some of the apps that you are used to using for every day life?
