QUOTE(Andy214 @ Mar 16 2010, 11:55 AM) True, there's one person I know who have no experience in that particular field and no IT knowledge at all, and don't even know what is simple IT product, got a very high position in a reputable big company, increased more than triple the persons previous salary, all just by "recommendation". what's the name of the magazine?Anyway, back on the N900; I wonder if the sales people will be knowledgeable enough to introduce/promote this phone when it is launched. There's just so many things to thing phone, especially if many IT geeks or Linux professionals are interested in this phone. Did anybody watch TheStar intro for the N900 which interviews with the Nokia Marketing Manager (I think) of Nokia Malaysia? Seems they talk greatly of the phone but I find that's very basic and didn't really talk about the capabilities and specialty of this phone. What's mentioned in the video is very front end or simple introduction, they should talk in depth about the phone which normal user will not know when testing out the phone, and they should pin point the plus points which gives the "Oooohs" and "Aaaahs" to the public, not just something that's too obvious where everyone can know just by trying out the phone. I believe many first time owner also are still looking for what's the special thing about this N900, while some sold it because they can't find the special thing, because it might need to explore and learn more to get to know more of this phone. Just like those more detailed reviews in YouTube which really shows more interesting features of the phone. Even my friend who is already anti-Nokia, and when he first saw my N900 he wasn't impressed at all, even with the desktop and so on. But one day, he wanted to look for something and on the spot, I help him to check with N900 browser, search for the product he wants, multi-tasking on the spot, opening multiple windows while having conversations with another person and he also see all the mini windows loading in background (true multi-tasking), also show him the movie player and it's capabilities (can directly play video files without converting) and so on. Later on, he finally ask me... about the price of official set. Even another friend who own the iPhone also "wow-ed" by it and was speechless. And that was just multi-tasking and browser demo... Recently I bought a mag (didn't know it was an India magazine), inside there is a very detailed reviewed on the N900 and talk in depth or it's capabilities and features, the guy if I'm not wrong is a Linux professional also a developer possibly. The review span more than 3 pages long with full of words, and in the end due to page limitation the author needs to end it and mentioned that it's not doing the N900 justice as he hasn't even covered 50% of the N900. interested to read up(if it's possible to find the magazine in malaysia,that is |

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Mar 16 2010, 02:25 PM) as a sneak peek of sorts @MeeGo: personally i dont care,as i bought the device with Maemo5. I see the MeeGo as an add on. if it works,great. if it doesnt,no loss. the MaeMo5 is great as it is. QUOTE(k-bkeat @ Mar 16 2010, 02:42 PM) HEY HEY HEY ! TO ALL THE PROs OUT THERE ! iphone is more appealing to the mass market.I read almost all the topic about n900 and it seems like its the best phone for now. Some said it even outrun iphone. For your information, i used to use a lousy phone with no colours and only sms and call function Do you think n900 will be complicated to use since its so FABULOUS and Full of functions? Btw, whats the cheapest price for now? AP and ORI? Thanks in advance if you like tinkering@screwing up your phone,the N900 would be right up your alley. if you're the type to just follow the crowd*,then the iphone is for you. *crowd=apple and the general public. apple wont allow any kind of playing around with their phones,so it gets boring real quick. |

QUOTE(fuadfadz @ Mar 16 2010, 06:15 PM) n900=you like to thinker with your gadgetsiphone=you dont like to play around with the gadget itself,just like playing with the apps that's the best way to look at it. personally i've just found another reason to love this N900.. i used to sync my ipod touch to my car radio via bluetooth,but the radio itself couldnt control the ipod. i couldnt skip tracks,be it forward or backwards. i had to manually skip tracks by switching on the screen.-needless to say, i had to take my eyes off the road to press the ipod menu button and subsequently fumble with the onscreen buttons. the N900,however, allows me to skip tracks just fine with the hardware based radio buttons not a huge improvement over the ipod touch,but an invaluable one nonetheless-especially if other people want to switch songs...dont have to use the ipod itself,can just press "next" on the radio itself This post has been edited by Mgsrulz: Mar 16 2010, 07:23 PM |

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Mar 17 2010, 12:23 PM) Actually, since the N900 supports Flash v9 yeah,spent a couple of hours a few days ago just downloading games from new grounds you can basically access to tons and tons of Flash apps, videos and games online. There're just so many to list. Some great Flash sites: http://www.newgrounds.com (so many FREE videos, games, etc; it's a very old and long Flash site) http://www.popcap.com (some games might require Flash 10) There're so many types and interesting Flash games you can play, or great Flash videos you can find (movies, cartoons, fan-made videos, MTVs, etc). The best is check out newgrounds, there're many professional flash creator there, including one which I know who used to work for Disney, his animation/work is superb quality. Here is a video previously I created (btw, you can activate the mouse which can be useful for some websites/games): some dont really work properly,though |
