This illustrates part of the reason these types threads get long and boring. With people constantly saying something does not work while others say it does. And on and on it goes with neither side giving in or compromising.
The N810 is a great device. We all agree on that. However there are some things that do not work and it varies from person to person application to application, even moment by moment. Sometimes it's because we set it up wrong other times it's the application fault. But the fact reamains that if it works great for me that does not mean it will work great for you. Because you are frustrated or happy does not mean I should be also. And if I think the device needs some more work or a new direction then that's my opinion.
We are all just voicing our individual opinions based on our individual experiences or what we have individually observed.
fragos further explains what I was saying before. Since a lot of the development is done for free it takes a long time to get software that will work every time on the majority of devices rather than on a few that are configured in a manner which is "friendly" to the other installed applications. When other people download the application onto their tablets, and the environment is not so friendly then you get problems. It's expected. It's a given in software development that there will be crashes. So I'm not expecting a perfect device. I'm just saying that there are too many beta applications out there that will crash in unfriendly envirnments. Which I understand why that is so. So I'm not blaming the programmers.
Sure it will not impact Nokia's market share much since that is based mostly or entirely on phone devices. But it will certainly get them a couple hundred unhappy tablet users. If they had a symbian based tablet (not phone) then they would have a few hundred happy customers.
They can even have two; the consumer version running symbian and the beta (under development) version running maemo.
Hope everyone understands what I'm trying to say.
to fpp:
Interestingly enough I also own an E51 and it works... Perfectly... Everytime.
