what the.... just found out nokia X2 can charge from standard nokia 2mm charger as well as the micro-usb port... 

nokia is full of surprises recently...

next thing you know - monochrome candybars will have WLAN...

Multitouch is just an extra gesture that can be used for gaming. it has certainly not revolutionized gaming.

Consoles / Handheld Consoles and the humble PC have revolutionized gaming.

take for example, the Nintendo Wii, the wireless motion sensing controller is just a new interface for gaming, nothing revolutionary.

Nintendo has been making consoles and games for ages...

Joysticks were revolutionary. The mouse was revolutionary. Touch screen was revolutionary.

Multitouch is just an added advantage when playing games on touch based interface.

of course i know the N8 does that...

the year is 2010, nokia would be dumb if they did not enable usb charging on all their usb equipped devices...

lets hope these are just rumors... and lets hope the actual PR 1.3 is going to have more stuff and more bugs squashed.

a lot of the bugs submitted are being ignored by nokia... its like 'we know, but who cares'

for starters i dont think n900 has issues with autofocus speed...

and only slight improvements in the map application ? if they were planning to ignore the map application on maemo platform, why ship n900 with GPS ?

might as well just ditch the GPS chip and antenna and save some cost.

where is this N8 thread

Multi-touch can be implemented on Resistive screen too right?

Actually, I don't find capacitive screen great; except current it's supporting multi-touch very well.

In terms of sensitivity; I think N900's resistive screen is sensitivity is just nice. I've tried iPod/iPhone capacitive, it's was too sensitive; I think there should be a balance, it's should be sensitive enough but not too sensitive.

Next, about pressure sensitivity, resistive has some kind of pressure sensitivity; This is beneficial especially for PAINT/SKETC/HDRAWING programs, and also with the support of stylus and accuracy, we can use it to draw fine arts, which is not possible with capacitive.

With accuracy and ability to use finger-nails or stylus, we don't need to always zoom in to click on links; I browse Desktop version of FB page, I don't zoom in at all, I can use my finger-nails to click on links or use stylus. For capacitive, most of the time you will need to keep pinch-to-zoom especially for those links nearby, later click the wrong link. That's one reason why pinch-to-zoom is very important to capacitive screen, they can't touch accurately, must always zoom in.

For me, the advantages of resistive is more than capacitive; For work, resistive is better, but for gaming which requires multi-touch, capacitive will be better (but not all games, there games which require you to touch accurately; these games have to be optimize for touch unless the screen is BIG like iPad).

Don't get me wrong, I like multi-touch; I don't actually care about which screen technology, but touch accuracy, pressure sensitivity and the ability to use any objects (finger-nails, pen, stylus, etc) to touch is important for a touch device; It's called a touch device, it didn't say for hand/finger only.

but if you are on default clock speed, Flash Video kind of lags a little sometimes

nice article

Yup, Flash consume a lot of resource, so it can really slow down your device, especially Flash Games.
Flash 10.1 uses GPU acceleration, which I suppose should be much better, but why no news for N900 

The trick for Flash Video is let it load a bit first, and make sure the page has stable down. You can make sure the page is stable down when the scrolling is smooth. Or put Flash Video to full screen, wait for a while then only play.
If you OC, it will be better of course.

For me, I use OC on demand style by jakiman (using titans-kernel), press the custom "NOS" button, boost of power. hehe

6 HD games?...mind sharing what HD games?

IF I am rich & unfortunately I'm not. 

I can take care of the fanboys.Don't worry.

I think there is hardly any point talking about flash 10.1 in N900 anymore
I read real fun reading N900's review from Engadgets last time.I think the reviewer wrote with heavy heart when he described that N900's Internet capability is just outstanding compared to iPhone
Kena sue pun stay as fanboy jugak


Yup.It's already been demoed on one of the older HTC's phone once.

N900's screen is just fine. hardly need to use stylus.

Sidenote:If nobody want to be the next TS I guess I'll take the job.

why these games are called HD games ? the game 3D engine renders at 720p or 1080p resolution ? 

guess not... 

just marketing gimmick. now everything is about 3D and HD...

btw i am getting sick of all those advertisements in newspaper about 3D HDTVs that cost RM20k above...

For iPads and iPhone4, the games are HD version; Go into App Store you will see HD version and normal version.

iPhone games can be really big in size... like Prince of Persia... and many other recent games. Haven't seen HD games size though for iOS.

But surprisingly, the same game on Android, the file are much smaller? Same goes for N8.

I guess 1st proper HD games will only come to N9(Assuming Nokia pack the display with 1280 x 720 reso)

wah... not only SIFU on N900/N8 but also SIFU on iphone games...   

This is software issue.A simple reflash should solve this problem.No need to spend money for the petrol to visit NCC.
Mine only 1024x600
The 1280 x 720 screen reso is just a rumor though.

aspire is GRANDMASTER SHIFU, SIFU for all SIFU in this thread 

except some of the super expensive netbook with 1366x768....   

anyway, if nokia really launches with 1280x720, what to call ? since steve said iphone4 is retina display

so this newer one is cornea or iris display ?

1200 change to 1080 for wat ? your aspect ratio not wide enough ?

personally, i prefer aspect ratio 16:10 because some not so wide movies stretch to 16:9 everyone looks short and stubby...

Nono, we cannot be GODLIKE, the title is belong to some people already; Later we kena from them. 

N8
I never been to I-City before also, haha

Suggest N8 Gathering @ I-CITY, promote N8 there, do photography session... Or... maybe Nokia can organize one
