Though, if you read a few posts back (it's still in the same page you posted this, even) I posted something about HD recording and playback is now finally possible (although not quite smooth for some formats) and how to do it.

Actually, if they put on effort into the OS, they can make the OS simple and easy to use; Photoshop is a very powerful tool, yet everyday they're improving the software to make it easier to use for beginners and make every process more simple. That's software.
For OS, there's no need to REMOVE functions/features, it can be set as option to turn off by default, so more advance users can enable it. In software, many things are flexible and customizable; but sadly, not many people understand software, it's different from hardware, but manufacturer's make people think of software like hardware.

Anyway, nowadays world, it's all about apps apps apps. Actually ever since the fruit blooms, they change the world perception, app-centric device. Who cares what the OS can do, it's all about what apps are available.


Thanks~
I know about it quite sometime ago when they were working on it, but didn't really bother to look further into it as HD videos are larger in size and also may have some playback issue (smoothness, etc) for certain formats as you said. Anyway, so far, comparing with other devices/OS running more powDerful hardware, it was a much more pleasant experience playback with the N900, same goes for web browsing and the best yet true-multi-tasking ability.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Having the option is always the best so that the normal user can just choose not to have too many things enabled if they feel bewildered by all the functions. If you asked me, that would be the perfect situation as well. Unfortunately, most people aren't used to being flexible cause they are already brain-engineered to be spoon-fed with an app for everything. KAKAKKA

If maemo can make the OS JUST AS fluid as Android (if possible iOS), no reason why it cannot be called the ultimate OS. I remember the iOS running on the same hardware spec as the N900 and it has fluid run on the OS

I think, except for a few hiccups, I can say that my experience with it is very, very fluid; and I like my Maemo that way thanks very much.

If the N9 had a QWERTY keyboard then I'll absolutely go crazy over it even though I know I won't be able to buy it at my present financial capability (I like mine in full cash, hard to follow with instalments...), but the lack of it is a real turn-off factor, but the N9 is still something nice if I can get one...

So, if I ever lose this one, I'll just go for another N900.

guys...i got prob..my background become dark when in portrait mode...it fine when turn to landscape..any idea...tq...

hey... any good sources for people selling the game gripper?

really true! using my sis xperia pro for a while and those shortcuts and cursor mode are really irreplaceable!!
lucky my sis bought it first rather than me

n900 getting boring... now new stuff and at time its multi taking capability is questionable... damn u nokia for giving us a goof phone and then dissing it....

I like this.
I think now nokia is more interested in giving eye candy. what i mean by eye candy is those LUMIA phones, i do understand they have good specs but people like us needs is a Phone+Tablet+Device like N900.

anybody here ever try install nemo on our beloved N900??

Nope.... no real apps to transfer though.. .those that can be transferred, we already have them in maemo

Sad to say I have officially retired my N900 to upgrade to N9.

Thanks for the 2 years.

me also retiring soon.... waiting for the sIII... sad that samsung not going for the camera war... so far only Nokia is upping the camera ante...

Some lazy time doodling.



... Hmm, I don't know, it seems to be a very difficult time for me if I have to choose a new phone; looking at nowadays trends looks like I'll have to go with the "leave it" as in "take it or leave it". The lack of sliding qwerty (or more correctly, lol-y-u-need-a-qwerty-we-ain't-making-one), saturation of the market with either iStuff or Androids, and Nokia going LOLweMicrosoftnow pretty much killed any hopes of a satisfiable new phone for me... and my sister.

If you guys want to replace your N900, if the phone is still good condition can I buy it off you? I think I can offer RM 300 for a 2 year old phone. Hope the offer isn't insulting to you...

RM300... haha.. i rather keep the phone for more testing....

No worries, I had to ask as I plan to use the N900 for a long time and wanted to keep a few backups.

Not selling either, no plan for changing one, nothing beat the flexibility of N900 yet

Next week, N9 wassap to be ready for testing ?
