no more free cert and key from opda leh... how..

need to hack the bootloader first to overclocked

but until now no one manage to hacked it.

It's really funny that all the rangers suddenly so active whenever there is a free phone is involved
U won't even see them this active when there is a ranger + blogger event
Bt when rumors started that there is a free phone they are the most active
It's almost like a leech when they smell human blood they crawl up the leg no matter how risky it is   

thats what they are for... lol...

No need to explain lar guys. If Nokia keep going at this pace, it's a wonder if this thread gets even 1 page every week.

BTW, I've jumped ship to Android so can someone else start the next thread when the time comes?

Gratz to those who will get free phones from nokia and brag how bad they are as well taking a 3 months break before been feed again.

Questions comes back to user:
do we really need a godlike phone?
how often u hardcore multitask? (camerapro and normal camera app like me)
is the update(browers update) important that it can substitute your pc/notebook?

dont just simple huha u'll get free phone(and tell the HOLD WORLD), i dont think nokia will be that blind, it take 1 to check all previous post of SELECTIVE user and dertermine whether he get a free ride or not

BTW: im also mac(nvr iph) and andriod user too~

All these hype happens because of "free" phones; If the rangers never get "free" stuffs, then it will not be the same. That's why somethings is best not to reveal because no matter what, people will look differently and there're many types of people around. Anyway, when they first ask, they never mentioned anything about freebies, they only say attend launching, get information and so on; I also ask about any obligations or requirements, commitments, etc. there was none. The 'free' phones comes as a surprise.
I'm also have privilege for invitation for launching, information for another different product; it doesn't mean there must be free stuff only join or anything.

I'm not sure how many are active, but not necessary must post something meaning active, reading without posting is nobody knows. Plus, the rangers were NOT only from N8 forum, there're N900 owners, and other thread members, basically mostly is the thread starter as they work the hardest and provide the most information, spend lots of their time contributing without asking anything in return. Even if they didn't maintain it anymore, it doesn't mean their past work should be forgotten, they may have a family or busy with their life/work, etc.

As for revoking the "priviledges"; I don't think it's a nice thing to say; If being a ranger for the sake of getting freebies, might as well say, no more freebies next time instead of keep changing the rangers? So, no need to fight who wanna become a ranger.
It won't end, there will always be people who're not happy and "comment" something.

Anyway, if those that are sooo keen, I think being a blogger gives you better "reward" and "opportunities"; You might get a lot more stuffs and sponsored by few companies instead of only Nokia.

My cheap 2 cents.

Nope. Definitely no. Or why do you think they're still using ARM11 for all Symbian devices and nHD after 2 years 7 months since Nokia 5800 was released, still the same. Only improvement was Graphic chip and higher clocked ARM11 and of course Symbian^3 and capacitive.

when nokia gives good thing, all also crawl here...

when nokia did something bad, all critics like hell...all know how to say how bad nokia was...

have u ever think about how good nokia was, when they give u good / free things??

show some courtesy pls..

disagree.rubbish phone or not,it depends.every phone definitely got their own pros and cons..the advantages of the phone fit your wants and demands,its a good phone then.For example,my girl friend need a REALLY LONG LONG BATTERY LIFE phone.so i bought her a Nokia 1616.it last for 2 weeks.1616 got nothing special,extraordinary functions but long battery life fulfill her demand so its a good phone for her.
For me,N8 undoubtedly is slow,UI ugly but 2 major things make me still keep it as my main phone.OVI MAPS+GARMIN.Camera which NONE of any other brand or OS can offer.

u still dun understand.like abalone is a great and expensive dishes but if someone there wanna eat ice cream u give him an abalone?he want an ice cream.hope this may help u.
EVERY PHONE GOT THEIR OWN PROS AND CONS.

lol!dun think c7 can tahan.

If the service level is up to par and no frustations then I guess I am a sour grape then. But I've dedicated the last 15+ years of my stoopid life being loyal to Bokia for nothing!!! 

So many off topic discussion here.

Why your danbo can kangkang like that one?

What the hell man? Which part of that is me? You need your eyes checked.

Well, same like iOS, simplfied and lack of features; That's one key point for stability and less problems.

Basic rules in development (or any other fields), the more complciated/sophisticated, the more doors you open, the harder to maintain, control, etc. and the more work you need to do.
Not really, it's just an excuse for not providing Flash. Nothing wrong to provide, they can "turn off" the support by default and let user choose whether they want to have that feature and take the risk of the problems like lag, slower response, hang, etc.
I don't buy their excuses, don't have say don't have, don't want to provide say don't want to provide, don't give excuses, especially lame ones.

Plus, the videos I posted before for Windows Phone, iDunCare performs the worst for HTML5 rendering with only 2 frames per second, Android got 10 frames per second while Windows Phone with IE9 utilizing hardware acceleration renders at 24 frames per second.
Still waiting for Windows Phone to support Flash; the news about Adobe creating Flash for Windows Phone has been announce since early 2010. Now, I only read, both Adobe and MS are "still" working on it.

Yup, it's still being used by many nonetheless; If don't want to support or provide, then just say it, don't give "lame" excuses; That's what I trying to say.

They can always give OPTION for the user. "Turn on support for Flash", then put a disclaimer.
Not providing and giving "lame" excuses is another story.
BUT anyway, I'm just nobody and they don't need EVERY TYPE of user to use their device, every device has its target users; Just like cars, there is different segment, different types, that suit different people.
Let's put it this way, if Windows given ONLY "Guest" account to the user, then as an admin, you have lots of control over the user and you have less worry what the user is capable of doing; If you can control they can only run 1 application at 1 time, not allow them to run certain programs, no access to certain features, etc. You can pretty much be sure there will be less complain to the user (unless they are intermediate-advance users).
The problem is iOS? They never give ANY OPTION to the user. Everyone is treated as the same, regardless you're "professional" or someone who have never used a computer before.

As for other "smartphone", perhaps they should make their OS "DEFAULT" as simple as possible, then the intermediate-advance users can choose to enable the advance options; But then, the "normal" users might ask, "How come your device can do this and mine can't".

Of course, you have to understand above usage of "account" is an EXAMPLE. In just like software development, we try to make it simple to the users and prevent them from making problems, etc.  Depending on the software you develop and user coverage, the simple part is, the software might be target to small scale (e.g. company, and there's not really the need to make the program/software "boombastic", BUT as a developer, we can always make it more flexible for the user through turning on certain options.)
For example: The search function, for most simple user, they just use the search. We don't give them the "Advanced Search" by default, the user can "choose" to use it, IF they know how to use it. Even if they starting out as SIMPLE user, then can eventually upgrade and learn. If we only LOCK them with simple search function, then next time they saw another software which offers "Advance Search", they'll be like point blank, and they said, I prefer the previous software, more easy to use? *HINT* this is also a "dirty" strategy to keep your user.

Just my cheap cheap 2 cents lah.
