I would like to ask a few questions about the N900 Touch Screen. The n900 has a Resistive Touch Screen am i right? And somehow i am assuming it is the same thing like the Satio which u'll have to press hard in order to register each touch u pressed ?
Because i'd played before with my friend's Satio and didn really liked the screen because it needs to be hardly pressed. But I watch those youtube videos those people press like no need to be hardly press one , not sure as i need help from the current owners that have one biggrin.gif
Currently not a N900 owner , may consider getting one and thanks in advance for those bro's with n900 answering my questions smile.gif

Another thing i dont really like bout the n900 is the size of it , i know its like a portable mini entertainment and a great multitasker but u know , sometimes ppl mau go school do something during the exam (Ehem ehem) as i am scared of using the Qwerty keyboard with both hands down and the teacher sure suspect one =.=ll

get a basic phone for now(since it's an emergency of sorts), and after you're done with exams/school, go get a better phone.

Nokia can't show off. I know many people anti-Nokia or don't like Nokia, so you can't show off. Once you say the word Nokia, they don't want to see also.

Show off you need popular phone. Even lousy phone also ca show off, as long as it's popular. icon_rolleyes.gif

It you want to "wow" people, you can check out upcoming Samsung I9000 with Super AMOLED screen; The screen is so clear even in daylight, it can wow people, but then when you tell people it's Samsung, then maybe they will "ooooh.....".

You want full attention, you need the popular ones, like, erm... iPhone.

It's not multi-tasking, that's "Task Switcher".
It's an old concept, even WinMo and old Nokia Symbian phone have it.
Maybe iPhone version is more refine and stable? No idea.

Their "Task Switcher" has limitation, you cannot close app in Apple's Task Switcher. So if you open 10 app, you have to open each app from the Task Switcher, let the app restore the state and then close it. ONE BY ONE.
Job said user don't need to worry about closing, but actually it's because they don't plan to do it or don't have the button for it.
For Nokia, we have the "c" key to close the app in Task Switcher.

There's no Task Manager for iPhone, Job said it's not required, user will just sort of messed up.
Well, yeah, for "dumb" or "normal" users. But human can learn, but to Apple, they don't see it like this. They prefer to control their user. Just like when you're in a BIG company, you're the IT Administrator, so you set "GUEST" account for your user, turn off many features like Task Manager, and only allow the user to do what you allow them to do.
This is same like how Apple their their Customers. It's not about the Customer worry, it's about Apple no need to worry about it's Customers because they have control their Customers. Just like you don't have to worry about the users, because you have restrict them.

That's when some smart users come up and JB the iPhone, it's something gaining "Administrators" account access on your Windows.

IMO,the situation pretty much reads like this:

Apple to customer: bend over!

Apple fanatic: *bends over* wow,i can see my toes from here! yay apple!




Apple to customer: bend over!

sane people: wtf for??

Apple prefer to keeps their OS locked.Don't know why.

I prefer multitasking concept of Maemo more.

Maemo is true multi-tasking, and it's better than Windows XP, lol, because we can see all the apps are running.
If there is game running, video running, we can see it actually running.

Maemo is just like buying a computer, you get administrator access right out of the box. No hacking/jailbreaking needed.
And you can format your phone and reinstall as you like, just like a computer. You're can download the flasher tool to flash your whole firmware, you're free to adjust the kernels, customize your Maemo OS, etc. just like a computer.

In short, N900 is just like a Laptop shrink down to the size of the handphone, running Maemo instead of Windows.
But "normal" user cannot understand it, but then, not everyone need it. Some people prefer to be controlled, and follow the trend.

Just enjoy whatever you like icon_rolleyes.gif
