symbian s60 v5 is still new and not boring,,, pls!! cry.gif
sorry2 notworthy.gif . im also still using s60v5. tongue.gif

the main selling point for n900, is it's OS itself. as for hardware, not much special coz other manufacturer also already using it. even certain featured phone also using higer clock cpu.

but nowadays, ppl intend to choose a good/practical/eye catchy UI. n i believe n900 might can satisfied this group of peoples. With a combination with good/better hardware (when compare to certain other high-end phone), this n900 can sell like a hot cake thumbup.gif (as long is the pricing is right). look fwd for this n900

O.o, I prefer buy 1 se x1 and 1 c905 than this monster.

those 2 already consider "old" already. tongue.gif
anyway its matter of preference. its pointless to debate about it. biggrin.gif
emm, perhaps SE suit u well, at least ur money can help to save SE from continue to be in slump. SE = the next motorola.

im sure a lot of apps will be developed 4 tis platform....in fact earlier version of maemo already hve quite a big developer base...
not to mention many linux apps can be ported to maemo...n im talking bout the apps for linux on pc smile.gif
Last but not least maemo also compatible with ubuntu ARM version...ur seeing at thousands of apps ready to be installed onto ur device (correct me if im wrong though icon_rolleyes.gif )
*
to make it Maemo 5 platform a success platform, nokia need 3rd party developer to develop apps for maemo 5 so that it can compete with iphone & it's apps store.

Spec wise, N900 beat iPhone anytime. Only touchscreen experience (N900 use ultra-sensitive resensitive while iPhone use capacitive) iPhone win hands down.

hopefully by the time this phone launch, it will have better n stable FW. so that the screen will be really responsive. smile.gif

Since X series X6 Nokia using Capacitive touchscreen. Maybe I should wait another MAEMO Os from Nokia that use Capacitive or Optical touchscreen. ANYWAY, this phone makes Samsung and LG in pain! icon_rolleyes.gif

i wonder why nokia didnt implement their n95/n95 8gb formula to this n900 (boosting all their best hardware/software)?
last time during n95 era, its among the best in terms of hardware.

I think la, MAEMO isn't hardware eater. See the video from your post. The touchscreen response very very nice eventhough it's resitive. The OS is light-weight but powerful one. It's like comparing Ubuntu (MAEMO) with Vista (WinMo).
*
yeah. that maybe rite. but what i mean are, why not combining the tilt form factor from n97+camera from n86+capacitive from X6 (if its true)+compass from n97.
they can repeat the success of n95/95 8gb.

i understand marketing strategy to diverse their product line up, but if they produce all the best in one device, it still will sell like hot cakes

But a nightmare is the price, have to agree the design isn't attractive enough.  But if the design match with it's specifications, will sell like hot cake.   drool.gif

maybe we can expect from future Maemo line-up
anyway, those n900's videos around net really make me drool. drool.gif
waiting for more videos biggrin.gif


Added on September 2, 2009, 10:46 pmanyway, i wonder n900 didnt support MMS ek?

I read and watch XPeria X2 SE video/review. It doesn't impress me much with WinMo 6.5. But the design is cooler. I think we should wait for another MAEMO line phone.
*
yeah. totally agree.
maybe winmo7 will be like Zune HD interface, it will be cool.

compare x2 with n900, x2 looks more sleeker, cooler & hv exclusive/executive looks. but the OS, Maemo5 pawn winmo6.5. smile.gif

So far I heard, nokia been working very hard with

1. Carl Zeiss developer

2. Intel

3. Linux MAEMO

4. Microsoft

5. Optical Touchscreen (dunno what developer)

6. 12Megapixel with big sensor.

That's all I know. Don't know it's true or not. But confirm 1,2,3,4,6 their working on it.  laugh.gif

Should wait for N990  thumbup.gif

hopefully it will be much slimmer biggrin.gif
