I would love moderators to check megacrazy and unameduser and then ban IP's that are used twice for usernames. Both first posts and both write posts in exactly the same way. Megacrazy can we see a piccy of your n900 and u toogether pls?

Exactly. I was just scrolling over the same webpage using an ipod touch, and performance was pretty much the same.
If i scroll at those speeds(wich is useless, 'cause nobody can read that fast :P ) i also get a lot of checkered parts and then i have to wait a sec or so to load that part.

The only point in time when this discussion will make any point/sense will be, when every participant in this thread actually owns an N900 and can speak for themselves.

Seriously, it is clear that we, as people who do not have the device, cannot really make a point.

I will now leave this thread and (maybe) come back when my N900 finally arrived.

3) There is MaemoMapper coming for Maemo 5... Gnuite may not be working on it anymore (consider he works for Google now) but there are other developers working on it.
Right so when MM or it's equivalent comes out I'll bite.

Something else not happening on my N900.

I'm starting to smell a trend...

The problem with the video is that it can't really capture how smooth the scrolling is. In real life it feels like the N900 is running at about 9 frames per second and the iPhone at about 30...if that makes sense. Android will generally run crappy right as you start scrolling but then be as smooth as the iPhone. The N900 is just jerky throughout.

Also, the browser seems to slow down and speed up randomly in how well it scrolls without opening anything or changing anything...hmmm.

Hahaha exactly what I was thinking...see what happens when you post crap about a device? More people come out with the same opinion.

Relax, I am not trolling in any way. Feel free to check as many IPs as you want.

Couldn't you turn off the flash component though?

Just pointing it out. I too look forward to MM myself.

Agreed. The backspace key on the keyboard may be used to go back a page in the browser, but it often takes several tries before it works. Still, it's better than using the history.

I still haven't found a decent "forward".

4. Lots and lots of checkered patterns while scrolling...
Agreed.

5. I have a habit of opening a new window and going back to the previous page instantly(via the task switcher). All that happens is a 2-10 second delay before the page responds/scrolls again.
I haven't noticed that delay. I do find the new browser window tops itself, a behaviour I thought was to be left behind.

7. Links click(finger and stylus) but the browser doesn't seem to respond once in a while.
Agreed.

8. I like the volume control to zoom in and out...
(I don't, but go on.)

...but then I have no means to control the volume easily when playing a flash video.
Agreed.

10. The address bar gives suggestions whenever it pleases. A reboot later it seems to remember all the website I have visited before
Yes, there's something odd there. For a few days, just before I flashed to PR1.0, my N900 provided suggestions in the browser's address bar. It hadn't ever done that previously. I didn't even know it was supposed to.

Now that I've updated to PR1.0 the suggestions are gone again.

1. The pdf reader really needs kinetic scrolling.
Agreed.

2. I don't know if its relevant in every country or not. But the contacts application gives me an option to send a text msg to landlines.
Yes, that is a bit odd. I'd be happy if those entries disappeared.

1. There has to be ctrl, shift, and the symbol key on the other side of the keyboard. Its a pain trying to do lets say ctrl+a.
Those keys are sticky. Press and release "Ctrl". Press and release "a".

3. The screen could have been brighter
Yipes! Full brightness gives me sunburn.


As for the rest, WORKSFORME.

If you want a comparative iPhone vid I can do that too but I think it's pretty much self explanatory. I might cover the actual OS later.

As far as the unit being defective...come on...seriously.
I guess I am just missing it - it seems to scroll just fine - until of course you go insane and whip your thumb (or whatever finger) up and down like a mad person. Then the page takes a small while, and to me it didnt seem like more than a second, to redraw. You can even see the grid patten in the empty space.
