6-things-i-hate-about-n900 http://www.unwiredview.com/2009/10/15/noki...ate-about-n900/ Most of them not really an issue. It's mostly software-based. This post has been edited by hiiragizawa: Oct 17 2009, 08:00 AM |

The only question now is:
Motorola Droid or Nokia N900 or HTC HD2? |

QUOTE I have bought an N800, and let me tell you that the Maemo platform is crap for a very simple reason: no binary stability !! http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/commen...rs_perspective/What I mean is that each new release of the OS changes system libraries and breaks a non trivial percentage of existing applications. Many applications developed for the N770 won't run on the N800 due to ABI library differences. My N800 went through several OS updates, and each time this crashed at least one of the installed apps I had. Also some applications you find on the web won't work because their author didn't want to rebuild them for the new hotness (the fussiness of the SDK might also be responsible for this). At least Android doesn't have this problem. That's probably why they have more than 10000 apps on Market, while Maemo has been in existence for far more longer and probably doesn't have one tenth of this number available. So much for the "ease of porting existing apps" stuff... |

QUOTE(Haruhi @ Nov 5 2009, 12:28 AM) Still no news on the release date? I checked at 3 Nokia stores in KL/PJ and all of them told me the same thing: December. Don't take this as true though. You know salesmen... Also, QUOTE http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/20091105/smartphone-wars-nokia-n900-versus-htc-hd2-versus-motorola-droid-five.htm Need more articles like this but more indepth. I'm considering these 3 phones now. |

So, users of N900 here, have you guys experienced the infamous reboots like the ones in talk.maemo.org?

QUOTE(objectifyme @ Dec 12 2009, 11:31 AM) Friend of mine says his father just got one and it's lagging and hanging like crazy. Possibly a bad potato? I hope so. :S Do you know when and where your friend's dad got it? |

Hanging and lagging is one thing.
Frequent reboots is another. But I sure hope objectifyme can provide the location his friend's dad bought it... |
