A great post mate . But some of your points are arguable. MeeGo on the n900 hasnt been confirmed so you cant be quite sure about being able to choose between 2 OS`s.

What bothers me is the fact that the n900 hasnt been pushed to its limits. We could take a big advantage over the front camera, for games, as well as video calls and many other things.

With a little bit of software optimization the n900 can run as smoothly as any other polished device out there. Its a pitty nokia isnt using all of the advantages the n900 has.

Nevertheless its a great device .

Yeps this is one awesome device and i don't understand peoples whining about things that the N900 is missing it has so much more to offer. Just to mention a few Mypaint, open office, gimp, full flash etc.
You're so right ivanzorkic just enjoy The N900 I do everyday
Btw great post

pretty funny

Well, on Android, applications are suspended when they are no longer visible to the user. They are still in the memory, but that's it, no event handling, no calculations, nothing (and don't confuse this with stuff like "your music still running in the background", it doesn't actually come from the "real" app, but from a service running - its like a micro app without UI running without you knowing). And if the system needs additional memory, the app you use the least has its state saved and then shut down to free up memory. To the user though, those apps still appear to be in the background, while, in fact, they are not. When they are brought to the foreground, they are actually restarted and their saved state is restored.

On N900 - apps run in the background fully. No suspended or saved states, they run like on your desktop. And you decide when to shut them down. Great and multitasking optimized Maemo, swap file and the power of N900 hardware make this possible without loosing performance greatly.

So, basically, you have an illusion of multitasking on Android vs the real multitasking on N900.


True, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't expect it. Let's just say that, while you can say I just made an educated guess, I'm pretty sure we'll have MeeGo on the N900 (reference platform for MeeGo, Nokia employees giving strong hints, and - lastly - no real reason not to have it, but many reasons not to announce it officially yet)

But, even without MeeGo, I still stand behind what I said

I'm not sure about that cryox92, Harri Hakulinen, Nokia project lead of ” MeeGo to N900″, in a message says this:

yes great post! being 34 ive seen most tech come in. I had a small mobile phone before most people even saw one. i love the n900 it really is amazing and feel privaliged to be able to own such things.

I sincerely hope we get it, it`ll definetly be a great improvement for the device .

@Dousan: I think the Meego version mentioned was the developers only one, well as far as im informed . But Nokia might suprise us, who knows .

Yawn - nice way of convincing yourself. Your comment is partly irrelevant to itself.

HD2 is the winner. <3
