i wonder if the Atrix has Copy/Paste on its browser?

but nice device......and its dual core,

You might get a Nokia phone with the same specs.

But what OS is this you speak of? Meego the "yet to be released and working on anything?" Or the very stable and working Android 2.2 as seen in millions of devices the world over with across the board support from software / app developers, hardware manufacturers and carriers? If Meego follows what Maemo did (and there is no reason it won't) it has to mature on a hand set for a year before people realise what it can't and can do. Given Maemo panned as an OS for the market, I think a year is a good guess because a lot of possible customers have walked away from Nokia after Maemo, so you won't get the numbers flooding in.

This 'atrix' phone is out in June, probably a whole year ahead of a like for like mature Meego device. And given this is Nokia we are talking about, it probably won't be a phone, it will be a "personal computer with limited phone funcationality and heavy community support required."

Think we are a very long time of anything like a Ver2.2 mature Meego, if at all. (I still think Nokia will pull the plug on Meego, too many changes in Nokia and not enough big name companies taking up Meego in what is a very tough year all round.)

Personally I think more of the CES was spent showing off the mini laptop accessory, than the actual phone. So I want to start seeing it on sale and reading reviews. A dual core just means more battery drain so will be interesting to see how it copes.

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about.

My N900 has full keyboard support, full mouse support, a large screen, can transfer files, can do all the srtuff I want, and it has the advantage that it uses my regular wireless keyboard and my favourite wireless mouse. Best of all, there is no physical connection to break or need unpocketing.

It's called VNC.

But it's rolling in the aisles funny how Nokia got out of Internet Tablets just before the tablet revolution hit, and this site cleverly changed its name away from Internet Tablet Talk -- remember, that's what brought many of us here! -- shortly before the rest of the world started caring about tablets.

I think there is something everyone here needs to understand you won't see physical keyboards on many devices (beyond PC's and messaging phones) and you won't see resistive touchscreens anymore. Bear in mind I'm including Nokia in all of this. The first MeeGo phone will probably be very much like the n8 with no keyboard and capacitive screen.

Too bad they squandered that lead.

But this was about the portable computer/N900. Not the Symbian based N8 - which has been marketed as solely a phone.

HDMI output versus composite. Why would you switch to the N8? Just to prove a point?

I want it!!! , will it work with Telcel carrier in Mexico?
I think Telcel uses the same frequencies as AT & T but I'm not sure

It will probably dissapoint like the original droid did - I was very very close to buying it, but then changed my mind once the N900 was announced.

Why wouldn't it have cut/paste? Androids have always had cut/paste. I'm not sure where this was coming from--did you confuse it with iOS (where they only recently got cut/paste) or with Windows Phone 7 (where they took away cut/paste after updating from Windows Mobile)?

Full keyboard support... not really supported out-of-the box, mind you. You need to hack it into doing it, wireless keyboard and all. Full mouse support... again, not supported, hacked. Large screen? Where? Uhhh, No. hahah About the ONLY good argument you made is that it does all the srtuff [sic] you want.

It would appear that our friend attempted to twist the conversation to suit his arguments and dismissed the argument he had actually made. I didn't bother responding. I was laughing to hard each time I looked at it to respond anyway. Dear, oh dear. It was an incredible maneuver that deserves a bit of comedic credit, wouldn't you agree?

Oops.. I think you made a mistake. The Droid didn't disappoint by any measure. Last time I checked, it was what saved Motorola from performing a flaming nosedive in the market over the past year and it's still managing to perform quite well even compared to many new Android handsets. Maybe I missed something, though. Where did you hear about how this Droid was disappointing? Disappointing to whom? Citation, please?
