I am not excited about n900's multitasking abilities. Example: yesterday I am riding the bus home. Hops on the free wifi on the bus and make myself available on the chat. I am also listening to music and my wife sends me a youtube link.
Well, even beforeI hit the youtube link the phone is painfully slow. Sliding out the screen results in stuttering music and a 7 second wait before the screen turns on. The youtube link makes me close the music player. All in all from the time my wife sent me the youtube link till I could see the video with choppy playback it took at least 2 minutes.
These things happen all the time. the n900 is far from being a complete product. It boasts a shitload of features that are cutting edga, and buggy as hell. I have never spent so much time waiting for a phone to open the email client, calendar, text message as I have with this phone.
Maybemultitasking was disabled for a good reason on the iphone and is hampered on android?
Maybe nokia just put a piece of **** on the market. I don't know...
