Did you see the article saying that Nokia does more R&D than anyone else in the industry?

Riddle: How many Nokia engineers does it take to reinvent the wheel?
Answer: I don't know, but they don't have enough yet.

Ah, so they are switching back to manufacturing tires.

Why don't you just get a Viliv N5 or any other x86 UMPC or tablet and slap a Linux on it? You could install WINE on it and really be ahead of the N800 (and N900). The N5 has a 1.3GHz CPU, 32GB SSD, 1GB ram, GPS, camera, and a 4.8" screen with 1024 x 600 resolution. I think it can even take a sim card and make phone calls! Come to think of it, why doesn't every N900 user get one of these too...

Jane, you ignorant slut.

Sure, I could just go out and LITERALLY get a laptop that fits in my pocket but then it would very hot, it wouldn't last long on a charge and it's likely to make me sterile. And as much as you want to see me go sterile, I'd rather deny you that favor and instead buy the device I WANTED. A lightweight, hopefully open-source friendly device based on ARM/RISC where I wouldn't WANT to run WINE, because I didn't get Linux to run Windows.

1. This is the year of the snowpocalypse. Getting very hot should be a selling point.

2. It's supposed to last up to six hours on a charge. That's been about the time between snow storms.

3. You have 2,767 posts on the maemo message board. That means your being sterile or not sadly will have no impact on your chances for reproduction.

4. Aww, I played with Linux for 10 years and never found it worth the hard drive space. I tried to switch a few times in early 2010 when my XP install was screwed up but I was broken by the experience (curse all rolling distros!) and almost driven into the arms of Windows 7. I decided to give it one more chance, go to Distrowatch and starting from #1, find the highest-ranked distro I hadn't tried or heard bad things about. I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 as a test on July 18th, and I've been "testing" it without going back into XP since. Being able to run an old Windows 98-era game that was impossible to run stably under XP was a major selling point for me. In fact, it used to crash when I first played it under real Windows 98! I don't know what "angry birds" are like, but they sound nasty. I'd rather have classic Windows adventure games in my pocket.

DONT KILL THE MESSENGER!!

I LOVE THE N900, I always thought it would be the first Meego device.
Have you read the article it says the N9 has been cancelled but a meego device is due to be shown at next weeks MWC. As usual it is just nonsence being written as how can Nokia cancel a device which has never been announced. What is likely is the original single core device is no longer appropriate and so Nokia are now going for a dual core device, assuming Meego survives tomorrows presentation given by Elop

Interesting to see the comparison with amiga pop up, I was thinking the same thing the other day.

I used to frequent the amiga.org boards, on there daily hoping for some good news about new hardware, new software, and all the while the gap between what was going on in the amiga world and the pc world got larger, and gradually having to resign myself to the fact that i would end up having to migrate to windows and use that on a daily basis...

And now here I am, hoping that something comes along to save me from having to migrate over to android or whatever...

You missed your PERFECT opportunity to begin your reply with, "Dan, you pompous @55". Such a perfect set-up for it, too.
