That's right. I mean Nokia lost 10% market share last year and Apple more than DOUBLED theirs. I guess I'm the crazy one for thinking Nokia's ship is slowly sinking.
It's also funny how calling it like it is gets you labeled "troll" around here hahaha. I had no idea this was a fanboy forum.

"Nokia doesn't need to copy Apple, since most Apple innovations in the phone space were done by Nokia first."
That is a very bold statement. Care to elaborate?
Either way, what's the point of this thread? It's called supply and demand. End of story. There is demand for a 600$ phone so it's completely irrelevant how much it costs to make the phone.
iPhone:
1. Press sturdy button on top, slide finger on glass to unlock....great feeling.
2. Press safari and watch the butter smooth zoom efect while it oppens.
3. Start scrolling through the page looking for stuff...perfectly smooth scrolling.
4. Throw the phone back in my pocket...done.
N900:
1. LOOK for the button on the side and slide it down...or press the button on top.
2. If button on top, slide my finger across the display, watch the choppy animation of the slider...hmmm.
3. Press the browser and wonder what happened to the other 30 frames that were dropped from the zoom effect while it pops up
4. Go to a page and try scrolling while it's loading and watch checkered patterns for a good 5 seconds every time I scroll.
5. Done loading, I can finally find stuff.
6. LOOK for the button on the side to lock the phone and put it back in my pocket.
I would love to see the open source community step up their game but it hasn't happened in all this time with Linux, what makes you think it will happen with Maemo?

Music player widget is great but does not work with A2DP. Why?
Transitions in the OS are nice but they often turn choppy and fail altogether. If you want to use transitions see that 2 year old device...what was it again...oh yeah.
Scrolling through bookmarks is slow as hell. Why?
Scrolling anywhere is like a bunch of mini seizures, really close together. In other words, garbage. Why the hell is this not perfectly smooth like the iPhone?
I could go on and on but in a few words: THIS PHONE IS GARBAGE.

You whiners on this forum are just like my mother (grand leaps of logic).
Such as "hmm this phone seems to suck and I think I could have problems with feature X even though I don't own the phone or know anything about feature x".
I see 2 classes of reader on this forum: engineers and non-engineers.
The non-engineers should stfu and listen to the engineers.
One *****y post is acceptable to me....then you get corrected and stfu and try to learn and change your tone. Hey...everybody gets ticked off at midnight and occasionally sends off a pissy email...but then you get a hold of your emotions and try to learn...and apologize.
To go on an on *****ing about the same points without 'learning' anything or attempting to be constructive (and you aren't) is foolish.
This post has absolutely ZERO useful information about the characteristics of the N900 (signal 2 noise way too high) and should be thoroughly nuked. A few bug submissions could've been a replacement for 58 pages on this thread.
I own the N800 and liked it so much I recently bought a coworkers extra unit. I know what I'm getting into with the N900 and thoroughly look forward to purchasing a unit. I demoed a unit in store, brought up all my websites, did a2dp/etc. and this thing rocks hard!
Excellent job nokia and I thoroughly support you for your innovation.
