Mmmmmmm me want

[darksun9210]

i want an updated communicator. but i guess that market it now serviced by netbooks with 3G dongles...

[KimmoK]

argh, mobile SW sucks

Unbelieveable how slow and buggy SW those mobile guys do...

(I use N73 as my main phone)


I would prefer a enchanced minimig on my back pocket & VoIP over GPRS/WLAN.

btw. Is there any mobile phone that boots faster than AOS4/MOS2 PPCAmiga? It takes about 10 seconds for the N73 just to switch off the "screenblanker".

I doubt it.  I don't think people with economic hardship will rush out to buy any expensive new phone/gadget.  Apple still has a lot of ground to cover to catch up to Nokia's ~39% market share.

Thus nokia producing the N97 to match the iPhone feature set.

The N95 8G, and N96 matched the iPhone feature set quite well.  The N97 flat out overruns it.

Who knows... but the thinking is that people who are happy with their low cost high volume mobile phone, are less likely to upgrade... but theose that were thinking about upgrading, are now looking for a value add... i.e. Mobile + Mp3/Video player... the very market which modern smart phones (and especially the iPhone, where Apple are now running scared that mp3 player have reached saturation point) are targeting.

THat's just ignorance. The N95 was outclassed by the newer iPhone... the N96 was nothing but a refresh of the N95... the N97 is Nokia's first attempt to actually match the iPhone feature set one for one.

Do you have any percentage of apple and need to show to the world the wonderfulls of apple products?

I dont understand how a ipod touch with a bad phone together is the example to follow, sorry.

Nope, I just get annoyed when people talk crap. The iPhone is far from perfect, but it is also far more innovative than anything Nokia has produced.

That is why you live in a little house in Finland and Steve Jobs live in a huge mansion in California on top of piles of money surrounded by beautiful women.... ;-)

Seriously though, The iPhone isn't a tool like the E90... it's a mobile lifestyle platform... The platform itself is very much a standard computing environment, mobile internet and voice, but with a revolutionary interface, and access to VERY innovative applications (which come about due to it's innovative interface, my Win Mobile device just couldn't compete)... plus, it is a great iPod.

Right in with the Apple fanboy insults.  I'll play though.  Please explain what features the iPhone have that "outclass" even the N95 8GB.  Certainly not the camera, GPS/navigation, battery life (equally bad on both really), music/video support, and of course the actual phone/quality/reception.  Not to mention lacking "features" like tethering, stereo Bluetooth/A2DP, voice command, etc.

Just for reference, what Windows Mobile device did you have?

@CaptChaos

True.  The iPhone is NOT a tool, but some iPhone owners are.   :lol:

Another iPhone user here. Yes I also use Macs over PCs. I love Apple products but wouldn't call myself a rabid fan-boy. I'm only rabid over my C128D!

I admit that Nokia looks nice spec-wise, but I'm not a big fan of the slide out keyboard thingy. Plus I've used Windows mobile devices as well and really didn't care much for them. Not saying the alternatives are crap but just not for me.

When it comes to phones. I like things simple and I like them to work without any fuss and that's why I like the iPhone. I am waiting for the 32GB one to come out so I can finally ditch my iPod and only have to carry one item.

I agree they(Apple) need to lose the single-provider nonsense though.

EDIT: For Clarity as I was on the claret when I typed it earlier.

@Chubbyrain

Everybody likes different things.  I think we all get that.  I'm personally waiting for the "next" Android phone before I spring for the G1.  Like you the keyboards on these things kind of turn me off (that and the G1 is not so petite).  I would consider a Nokia N9x if the US carriers picked one up.  I'm not paying $800 for any phone, tool, digital mobile lifestyle, etc.

But, just a note that the N97 runs Symbian, not Windows Mobile.

Well... i dont care about steve jobs but i prefer finland than california (for sure) but... steve jobs surrounded by beautiful women? huh? maybe surrounded by mens with apple gay style.

And the other things about a "lifestyle" i want a phone or other hardware for usability, fun or whatever but not just for a "lifestyle".

PD: Dont take it serious im just kidding with your god.

So what does Windows Mobile have to do with Nokia phones?

"So what does Windows Mobile have to do with Nokia phones?"

It was a response to an earlier post regarding Windows Mobile devices. I know Nokia's run a different system. I have tried them. I'll stick with the iPhone for now. Thanks.

Unlike some people, I do give a fair try of things before I go bashing them. Actually on the subject of bashing, the Acorn Archimedes was a much better machine than the Amiga :-D Now have at it!
