I don't agree,not completely anyway. No I'm not sticking my head in the sand on this I notice subtle differences in how he's handling it. It might just be me but he seems to play around on the engadget page before actually doing the speed scrolls, to me that's letting the iphone work on caching the page.

The maemo browser renders everything correctly, so that bit about it doesn't show the page correctly is hog wash. The zoom and scrol thing is CLEARLY imo a bug I can kind of see what's causing it. If his pages aren't rendering correctly it is in fact having a problem then I encourage him to flash or return his phone for a exchange.

Will that fix his scrolling/rendering speed issue ? No. For a number of reasons:

1. The way he's using the device is impractical(zooming in to scroll fast???) and even the iphone behaves and shows almost exactly the same rendering speed issues while renderingLESS items. That page has flash running on it, the iphone is skipping that entirely.

2. The browser isn't leveraging the full speed of the hardware(hard for me to explain what I am seeing), if nokia provides support for this device instead of focusing attention to the n910 this problem will be improved but I do think the whole thing is unreasonable as my lenovo netbook can stutter(not often but enough that I noticed) on some of those engadget pages.

3. I hate to bring this up but I distinctly remember testing the 1st iphone when it was launched and it's rendering was worse and slowly improved over time to what you see now with the iphone 3gs.

Am I defending Nokia, NO, they need to address all the problems and support the n900 more then they need to release the n910. I know I won't buy one if they aren't going to support the n900 after it's release.

Come to think of it anyone who would is imo not very smart. Basically Nokia has to support the n900 or they will lose market share and eventually be bought out by MS or worse make windows mobile phones exclusively. If ms doesn't learn too much from them and go elsewhere for a top smartphone line.

I might to a video about the maemo page rendering thing but I'm lazy
