- when I switch on the device music player takes ages (over 30 minutes to recognise that I have any songs or videos. This despite playing about 3 videos by going into file manager.
- installed qik, it worked for two videos. Then when I was trying to show it off to my wife it failed to work. Had to uninstall it.
- tried sound recorder for the first time today and each time it just freezes up.
- file manager was freezing each time I tried to play an audio file (had to go through file manager since according to the device I did not have any audio files despite having over 4000).
- Does not play mp4 files that I was playing with no problems on ipod touch despite Nokia boasting amazing codec support.
- Half of the time the device is unable to play my video files. And this is not the problem in my point above. I am talking about files it has played before. Even a few minutes earlier. I play it minutes later and I get message unsupported file format. And once I get that message no video what so ever is going to play until I reset the device.
- Videos when they do work take ages and ages and ages and ages to start up. On ipod touch it was always instantaneous.
- Videos stutter for first few seconds. On ipod touch they played perfectly smoothly throughout.
- msn chat a quarter of the time gives network server error (plug in is still in testing so I think this should be fine when it is final).
Most of the issues I have mentioned are to do with the media player. If I were to rate its stability I would give it a 7%. It is that bad. However, I am hoping a firmware update will fix these issues or there would be significantly more stable music and video players available soon. I have over 20gb of media files but I had the same on ipod touch and didn't ever have any issues. I know that is a dedicated media device but I am pretty sure the iphone is the same. And please the answer to my post is not go and get an iphone then. I bought the N900 because I wanted an N900. I am just listing some of the issues with it.
