Sooo you all say:
Guys at Nokia don't care about bugs.maemo.org
Instability of OS2008 cannot be fixed solely by fixing the bugs, and is much deeper than that.
UI specs is to blame.
Then I proclaim the N810 and OS2008 is an
overhyped handicapped load of asss
, in the same category as Halo 3 (was playing with group of friends just then).
The complaint in this thread is really about more features, but
basic features
are not even working properly, but did in previous version!!
I recommend
upgrading to OS2007
OR
Hold out for Diablo (OS2009?), as Mr. Antilles claim it would have fixed these rather silly problems, that affects
basic
usability, which i'll list again:
Screen tap goes to random places
/
Especially when typing fast on full screen keyboard
One key input causing multiple repeats
High pressure sensitivity with no configuration
Finger tap not bringing up finger keyboard
AND recommend to others not to buy the N810, even the WIMAX version (same old long range unusable crepe, making microb not load any faster). Get the much cheaper N800 instead, or even an Ipod Touch, hey maybe Ubuntu mobile is around the corner? Google Android?
For N800/OS2007:
Install
Canola 2 Beta
for multimedia use (youtube as well).
Install
Pidgin with LED notification
for Instant Messenger use.
Email client lacking though, regardless of OS. Modest is unstable, compounded with the instability of OS2008.
OS2007 is not as pretty, but at least it can be USED, and used quite nicely without a stylus.
OS2008 is pretty, can be used but you are constantly stabbing your screen with your stylus while screaming "WTF!! SCROLL DAMN IT!, WHAT!? LOW POWER!? I JUST CHARGED IT!!"
As you can see I have a bitter experience with OS2008 on my N800, dunno about you guys with your N810. Can you even switch to OS2007?
I'm quite tired of these blogs encouraging people to vote the N810 for best mobile thing of the year and saying how wonderful it is.
I myself would like to encourage more threads, articles more critical of the N810 but of course not simply going "NOKIA SUX!" with nothing constructive to say. Which I haven't really seen much of really. So lemme give this a go.
"Nokia, you suck-XOR!isString(R0AR)! Learn to make a product that is AT LEAST AS GOOD AS the previous version!!"
Poor attempt really.
Back on track.
Then again, the N-series really is just Nokia 'playing' and experimenting with Linux and targeting a small demograph of Linux nerds is probably not very profitable anyway, who cares?
Thank you for reading my rather schizo post.
