Ok, but you gotta admit, typing out shell commands on one virtual keyboard is just too damned slow. Take the N8 for instance, the capacitive ones hold no sensitivity and one has to repeat missed key presses all the time. It's just not good enough to replace a real physical keyboard.

I admit it. The IT + hkb is certainly better than the phone format in that use case. Also because the vkb hides so much of the screen (but I've seen landscape implementations with keyboard on the side that seems very promising in that respect)

For what it's worth, I tried N8 on a shop, and N950's screen is much more sensitive. I don't think missed key presses will be a problem. But sure, typing shell commands for any length of time is quite annoying on a phone (whether its a tiny hardware keyboard or a virtual keyboard). That's why god invented ssh:ing to the phone from desktop computer.

Just thought I'd post these listing prices from Swedish retailers. Looks pretty good IMO. (Ps. prices include taxes!)

64GB

16GB

As a follow-up to this...

We have this....
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...79#post1070279

Pretty bog standard response...
Not really clear if they even bothered to push Nokia & say:
"We know your strategy, but we're still interested in assessing this phone"
Sounds more like they just capitulated & said:
"Oh so that's your strategy? Okay not a problem!"

But I guess one can't really assume anything, as it's such a generic response.

It's all speculation so far, but history tends to repeat itself. Let's hope not this time.
IMO,WP7 will surely die, even if the sales are good.

Windows 8 is coming out and it will support both Intel and Arm. Microsoft will almost surely kill it's own WP platform in order to get better sales on Windows 8 (Or whatever called).

Unless there are no discrepancy between these 2.

I want to do a detailed comparo between it & the N9 in the TMO forum.
Can anyone recommend a WP with similar hardware specs to the N9?
As close as possible anyway... I don't want to wail till searay is out.
Really? You want to know more about WP7? Well, there is a review of Mango beta build out there.

But my recommendation is: If you want to tie up yourself, there is a much better choice.That is,the iPhone 5.

The author said that her HTC trophy was smoother than her Droid. So the fact that the WP7 is smooth would be true only if you compare it's hardware with the 2010 phones. And not phones like Samsung Galaxy SII, which is fast. And iPhone 5, which is even faster.

The reasons I chose the N9 over the others are: The openness, e.g. possibility of the emulators, and the fact that they are not going to be kicked from the repos ( N9 most likely has one). And they are not going to lock you up to their store and feeding you recklessly just like the others. For me, N9 is going to be smoothest and fastest Linux ever, for sure.

P.S: Also I wanted to tell you that the flash player for android is a really crippled one. Even the flash player 11 beta, which is apparently designed for the IE10(and other windows and Mac browsers), performs really much better than the android one(IMO). So don't need to be feared that N9 has none.

How silly, the 64GB differs only about 100SEK from the 16GB model. What loons will buy the 16GB with that ridiculous price difference.
