if it were up to me, i wouldnt jump onto the maemo/n900 wagon so soon. n900 hasnt really been making a big impression on me.
everyone's so excited about the android 2.0/motorola droid, and the hd2, it seems like the n900 news have been drowned out.
the only stable thing which nokia has is their symbian. lets hope this (maemo) will not die off like the ngage platform.

actually older nokia n800,n810 have had older versions maemo, but thats just my point, these nokia internet devices never were popular here.
not very confident the new n900 with telephone functions can actually be a new star.

dun so kiasu of course, nominate a figure, not a range.

hahaha, i was told that SE is so threatened by HTC HD2 that they had a press release for the X10 around the time that hd2 is about to start shipping. SE showed X10 during the press conference although their demo unit is not complete and lagged like hell, especially their special 'timescape' and 'mediascape' interface. seems like SE is pretty desperate to me.

you can watch some hands-on video on engadget. whenever the device slowed down, the SE rep kept saying, "this is still under development, we're still optimizing it, bla bla". I mean like whats the point that you show some half baked device?

if you are a nokia fan, i have good news to tell you : nokia (or nokia associates) is working hard on their interface.

here's a preview: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/1...terface_loo.php

Here's a summary of price guesses i pulled from the earlier pages:
ineser - 3.3
Sylpheed - 3.299
cruzzmz -3.2
[+] - 3.0
Darkmage12 - 2.999
nghj - 2.7
~Rogue~ - 2.6

looks like i'm looking over-optimistic here..

revised!

65k is the winmo limitation, not the screen limitation.
but i'm not sure whether the hd2 screen can go to 16m or not.

that's such a pity. you're not even thinking of getting it repaired?

paying upfront for a phone doesnt work as well in malaysia as it does in the States since everyone here is getting it at about the same time once its available. if they can have stock by a few months or weeks earlier, i dont mind.

noone is sure that the company wont ask u to topup.

i loled at the comment. i wonder if its real..

source?

nais.. do u have a shop somewhere?
its not mentioned in ur thread.

Recommended Retail Price

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suggested_retail_price

i'll just check out at lowyat, sometimes the shop there give the same offer as at pcfair.

so confirm 2899 is fixed price and not just pcfair special price, right?

maybe not cos i also read that hd2 will be launching in msia on the 19th (thursday).
also, launching and product available at stores can be two different timing.

dunno, maybe like the guy said, hartamas.

=.=" how many times already u ask about special offer, 65%, etc
its only for the media to attend...

lol, darkmage wanted to pay 3.5k for hd2 initially.
thank god it's not that expensive...

of course if ppl want something around 2k or lower, the f1, or also known as the s200 neotouch is also a good choice.

neotouch still maintain the resistive touchscreen, good for handwriting which hd2 suck at.
in terms of hardware, they are almost the same.
but don't forget, software is also important.
ppl might have to go putting spb mobile shell in neotouch to improve the usability.

also, the built quality is not as good as HD2 and some have called the body 'plasticky'.
so ppl might have to consider that they've paid 2k for good hardware inside but the outside feels and looks like the phone might be worth much more cheaper.

i'm not saying the neotouch is not good, but i jz wanna highlight the few drawbacks that come with the lower price.
