It could be set up, agreed. But in this case, I took the quick way out - and paid for it.
I don't want a full-blown Apache daemon running - or that I have to set up a start Apache routine/link - at all times. Click into the app, do what I need, end. No need to kill services, or worry about them. But that's beside the point. If I want to be lazy, in this case I was... I could.
I don't want to treat my phone, something I honestly rely on - as something that might get spikes in mem usage because I didn't anticipate for something outside of parameters. I get paid to handle that on servers. I'll be damned if I do that on my phone just for some file swapping where I'm limited based on their decisions.
Now, past that - you've not used the app, so you see no need for it, I get that - I pound the pavement looking for the answers that will either allow me to comfortably make that final decision and spend that money. I'm doing what almost all people here state ad nauseum -
I'm doing research
and I'm seeking answers.
Where's the harm in that? I have to ask questions in order to make an informed decision. I do actually use my friends N900 - he lends it to me, he's a bad candidate for it, but it's his spare phone which I used to test the Exchange viability on our network and I decided we will not support it and I used it just last month on a trip to Pittsburgh where I found the GPS to be rather lacking downtown in comparison to the iPhone (which also missed the mark) but I used it mostly because I was monitoring three server farms and wanted to use the N900 - which worked flawlessly.
It seems as if this the kindest request to "Why are you here in the N900 part of the Maemo forums?" I've yet to get... and to be honest. I'm asking more informed folks - occasionally starting a bit of stuff - just to get the answers how some users are using their phones. The whole "It's the BESTEST PHONE EVARR!!!!!1" posts annoy me because they're just too damn vague and settle nothing other than another nob polish session for like-minded folks that say simple statements that hold no value.
People like yourself... I query. I converse. I watch. And I learn from. My stay here is mainly for that... should I stay unhappy with my iPhone, or would I find at least 10% more happiness with a N900? I waited for the iPhone to get where it is presently situated... so I had already endured those growing pains. I'm not a fan of doing that once again with MeeGo, nee Maemo 5. But in order to make that decision, I have to read, I have to ask... I sometimes get some folks (100% unintentionally) upset and I get more of the truth about what they mean when they say "It's the best ever" or "I'm happy with my purchase".
I wrote a glowing report on my N810 purchase. I think I was one of the first 10 to have done so. I've pored over that machine and thoroughly enjoy it... to a point where when I didn't get Mer, I got pissed. When I didn't get Fremantle, I got infuriated.
I don't want to do that again with a N900 and MeeGo. So that's why I'm in these areas.
Guess I want to have one solid reason to jump from the jailbroken iPhone to the N900. I have two more days to make up my mind - my AT&T contract runs out on June 1st.
Thank you for discussing with me things, fatalsaint. As always, I come away from reading your comments a bit brighter. You are a true asset to this community.
Even a dummy like myself needs to state that more often
