Hey guys I love the n900 and the full openness it has created. I also hate the iphone and what it stands for.

Bbutt…..

I was playing with my girlfriend’s iphone 3gs last night and my god. You forget how fast the device is. I took a video and played it instantly no lag anywhere. How is the n900 so much slower? I know we have to give the device time but I don’t see the speed of loading videos in the media gallery and after taking a video getting any faster. S60 media gallery slowness was never fixed, always stayed ssllooowww. Why is the media aspect of the n900 so bad? I didn’t even realize until I played with the 3gs, i just got used to it.

ps: the n900 is my favvourritteee thing right now. learnt so much about linux from it
Iphone is not able to do a real multi-tasking, so it does not much except running a game. Also the resolution on the N900 is way higher so it has to process way more informations.

The media aspect is at least for me fine, videos never lag and it is able to play all kind of HD videos perfectly. The iphone is not able to do that at all and will be never able to do it, would be pointless anyway on that low display resolution :P

Still I must agree that the 3GS is not that bad when it comes to games, here is the money and high amount of users the reason. If you want a gameboy then get the iphone, if you want a good smartphone where you can surf way better with flash support and use real multi-tasking then get a N900.

It are in my opinion totally different devices and this is the 10th thread about this topic already. If you want to get a better relation with your Girlfriend then you should get a Iphone, she will force you sooner or later anyway.
