I'm not habouring my hopes over this device. Previously n97 was a big hype until it came out. The utterly doggy interface really is a nuisance. & Some really regretted resulting in short ownership.

Processing spec wise, it's the same as 3gs but spots on a pagefile feature, which is useful if you're running a high mem software. n97 was used to be called the flagship of nokia, but then again it phailed. Thus they're quick to bounce back with a device similar to HTC hero. No bad in imitating but at the end of the day, it's about overall usage. We have seen HTC hero's application wise is good. both on input and features. What lacks in is the processing power (yes multi tasking needs a hefty juice).

Personally I think nokia did study their mistake and launch the phone around nations with haxor. Yes, hoping those geeks can crack the code or develop even more softwares thus unleashing it's potential. Don't get me wrong, Nokia has been developing robust & bullet proof phones all theses years. They are much lacking in terms of OS designing.

We've seen alot of phone tagged with a Iphone killer potential. However at the end of the day, not 1 has successfully pull down iphone. Why apple is capable of maintaining it's current status is it's solid backbone of software. This is one major criteria which most phone developers should emphasize on. WinMo might be a stone age OS, but out there there are tonnes of softwares to unleash the potential of the phone. Even my 5 year old antique PDA still capable of providing daily web & you tube usage.

Though it seems I'm all againts this new phone, I would still give credit on Nokia for moving forward. It's more like they've gear the design objective towards a pocket mobile computing. Which I think is excellent. No more Iphone killer motto. Just aim at what you're good at.

We will see Maemo to be a inferior to Andriod. However, Like I say, softwares are the key component in keeping the phone running. Thus I will still keep my fingers cross till the whole phone has been launched.

they should , if not they'll be left out of the race

Oh yes you can . Close...



And another innovation on the way.



So folks... the fight is on

CDMA, korea i pressume you can use the phone.

Anyway, new highlight, Intel Atom might hope into smartphone league sometime next year. Looks promising

does n900 maemo comes with a compiler?

erk. They used originally used ARM based processor is because it's small enough to fit in a mobile device. & its tailor made for lower power devices.

If you're still skeptic on the whole idea. You may google for Moorestown. The platform is currently in development, integrating all graphics, processing, video encoder/decoder, wifi, 3g, wimax, gps, mobile TV & bluetooth. Intel will shed some light on 2010. Also, they will be introducing Moblin OS, another contender to Maemo.










@Nokia 7705 Twist
Ditto. The phone only supports 800mhz & 1900mhz. That includes certain other countries like japan. It's more geared towards messaging group, certainly falls under the sidekick league.

I noticed 80% of the time you will be using it landscape

Hacks? not interested. This? yes

Native resolution I suppose. Anyway, we've yet seen any 3rd party application showcase under this maemo machine. Anyone can share bits of their knowledge?

Interesting, rumour are spreading it's launching within the next coming 2 weeks

Apparent yes, from the looks of it. Anyway, some other leads indicate it will be release around end of October, tentatively that is.



Multitouch support will come out on Maemo 6. Yes pinch gesture support. However not on this device as the screen is resistive touch.

correction, if it were to compete with SE, Xperia is the only competitor of it's class

@fallenrav

this phone is not edible

X1 is not outdated in my opinion. WM in it's heart still can run all current windows mobile application. The set back was only due poor hardware. Again, check 1st before hammering this gem. It can run more media compared to Satio. Yes, I noticed it can support MKV format with core player.

Samsung & HTC are both great phone. To me if I were to pick between satio or samsung, I will choose samsung unfortunately. The hardware and screen is just breath taking. I find SE satio is just overrated. Sorry.

Seems like a contender to the andriod OS

Well that's your own perspective. Everyone has their own personal view & opinion.

To me SE is good & I do use a SE phone. Unfortunately Samsung excels in both hardware specs & design. Feel free to check out the specs. The only issue is, they need to wrinkle out is the software portion. If they managed to tick it right, it would work flawlessly. SE on the other hand undoubtedly has been around during Ericsson era. Unfortunately I cannot sense the greatness as I feel during the past. I may be wrong here as aino might embark a better journey. If you observe closely on Samsung's market, you will find more US carrier's are making their own propitiatory samsung devices. You might say quantity of model might overshadow the figures. But from the facts, this does indicate there is a demand for Samsung devices in US. In Asia, the market is widely acceptable.

Btw I'm standing on a neutral point of view. Addendum, I find Samsung's pricing is somewhat reasonable & affordable. SE needs to work hard on capturing the market back to it's yesteryear glory.

If you really want to compare Japan Vs Korea, you need to put japan's Keittai denwa into comparison. They fair much better than SE. Yes, I own one P905I, & the screen is very good for a TFT. Check out the exotic J-phone section.

Spam a while

Swipe to unlock.



Some whacky push button device on an old 810 i think.. wait...



Sloppy 3d rendering but image does look awesome. That's Ngaging.



If it hits the local store, surely it'll be selling like hot cakes.

Gee.. things are getting cold here. Oh well, warming up this thread again. Here's some exclusive look on the browser





looks promising. The selling point is the mouse cursor!! My only complain is there's no standalone youtube application. Videos ran on the browser are somewhat choppy.

Mind sharing the source? If so, salute a sucidal act by SE. RM 3480, I would rather spend it on 3gs.

It's not to say there is no Garmin support. I would rather look at it as a potential. It's just a matter of time for the developers to come out the same software for Garmin maps.

Today's highlight would be the Calender. Lets get organized.

If retail price is going to be rm 2499, I don't think AP agents would benefit with a soaring 1k selling price difference with a least warranty package. Unless if, that is if, the retail model will only be launched much later than now.

This year. If you have the guts, you can pre-order one now. Price is around 2.3k below. Click Here
