Because he can lol... I mean, Megan Fox lar... brows.gif

But seriously, the N900 is NOT a phone where you can reliably do whatever you want to do day in day out.

It's a phone that you can mend, mold and at the same time it constantly surpasses your expectations of it...





... when it's not crashing or otherwise pissing you off lol.

Sometimes the Gated Greenhouse that is the iPhone, or the wider Lake Gardens that is Android simply fits people's needs, I guess. It's safer over there compared to the Adventure (and wild beast) Filled Hutan Tropika of the N900.

Actually Nokia N900 is reliable do watever you want to do day in day out but sometimes ppl tend to force the limit beyond their own comprehension. tongue.gif
For me i like my Nokia N900 the phone responsiveness is so fast , web browsing never disappoint me, Music streaming thru my wireless network, emailling and chatting over IM, up to date softwares, amazing graphics in games i see alot of potential in this phone. You know wife sometimes can be annoying but with some care and patience you realize all u need is your wife and not a mistress smile.gif

With whatever touch screen phones, it'll be harder to sms compared to normal phones with keypad, mainly because you cannot feel or know if you have press successully without looking at the screen. With phones with keypad, I can sms while walking and looking at the road, even at busy shopping malls, there's no need to look at the screen because you know if the key is successfully pressed and so on. So, I just need to glance at it once in a while or read it at the end, etc.

With touchscreen, it'll be a problem even on normal texting, you need to really see/look, else you'll do much more mistake, more so if it's qwerty on screen with is smaller buttons. And for sensitive touch screen, it'll be more problematic because you'll easily accidentally hit a few words, and worst, for those phones without arrow keys for your to move the cursor around.

If truly want to SMS, just get another cheap phone for texting mainly, lol

Ya, but what I mean is it can never beat the good 'ol keypad.

Besides, the biggest problem is there's no FEEL whether you have press the key, so if you don't look, you can't be sure. For not sensitive keys, you might face problem not pressing the key although you have press it.
For too sensitive keys, you might accidentally pressed a few keys.
For balance in sensitivity, there might be less problem, but still you're not sure unless you look at it.

So, you might need to look at the screen more often compared to good ol' keypad which you can even NEVER look at it and be quite sure you make no mistake.


Plus, if it's on-screen keyboard is qwerty, it pose another problem due to the buttons are smaller and close to each other, hardly anyone can touch correctly without seeing the screen.
Q W E R T Y
Imagine hitting the button correctly without seeing, and this is only 6 buttons, actual "on-screen" qwerty keyboard is different, and also depends on the screen size and so on.

For numpad version of onscreen keyboard, it's far easier as there's only 3 buttons in a row. But still, there's no feel whether you have successfully press the button, unless you turn on LOUD volume for button press and possibly vibrations to help you feel more.

Nonetheless, for on-screen or virtual keypad/keyboard, it'll definitely interrupt the person more and requires more checking compared to good 'ol keypad.

As of now, flash is horrendous on Fennec. Stick to MicroB if you need responsive flash.
