In that case, mine is better as it's rugged like a 4x4. When I break something in the software I have to fix it, in XTerminal, on the device itself. No pansy bottom reflashing happening here. Also I can load a 230MB excel file in a device with only 258MB of ram while the same fails on a device with 1GB of ram (I'm looking at you GS2)

It's so good it can run various operating systems incl. Win95 (in dosbox), MacOSX, Debain LXDE (virtual machine), Android (Nitdroid port), Meego, Mer and it's default OS Meamo.

WIN!

HMan... what phone do you have. cos it does sound freakin awesome

[novio]

rofl...win 95. on yr phone.

thats like saying:
I can put wooden square wheels on my car, so its better.

[Monty]

Really? NO better? "matter of opinion"? Did someone come through here and castrate every male except me? I may be over-reacting but this is starting to sound like a damn commune full of tree hugging spineless hippies.

I for one will not go down that route.

MY PHONE IS THE BEST BECAUSE IT IS PRETTIER THAN THE REST AND ALSO IT IS FAST. ALSO NO LAG. ALSO IT HAS A SONY BRAVIA ENGINE. ALSO WE SHALL NEVER MENTION WIFI.

And.... Its a Sony. Belonging to the same people who your PS3 belongs to. And your TV. And who you cant sue if they balls up?

N900? Or N9?

[KatrynKat]

i'll be joining the community of smartphone users in December/January....

looking at getting the Samsung GS2 or an HTC (don't know which, depends on the contract)....
won't be getting a BB or Nokia or iPhone (useless having an iphone and an ipod touch, and it's too pricey for me)...
i would prefer the Samsung as my last 2 phones have been samsungs and i have had no problems with them....

and i won't be "jailbreaking", and changing this or that, doing this to it or that to it...

[novio]

the sony is by far the sexiest of all the big boys.

but mine is still the best. iPhone seems too fat all of a sudden:)

[Hman]

N900, not the easiest of devices out there but it sure is fun to play with.

Honestly, upgrading next year July is going to be a difficult choice. I want a linux device with lots of storage and a h/w keyboard, unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll get something fitting the bill. I would love a N9 even though it's missing a k/b, but availability might be a problem by that time. Otherwise a android device is the only other option, not really what I want but what are you going to do?

[ryanrich]

I must say that N9 is absolutely stunning. Honestly sucks that the OS won't go any further though.

[Hman]

There are people in the Maemo/Meego community working on doing stuff with Meego even if no official support were to come from Nokia ( Nokia promised at least one update). On the other hand Samsung and Intel have teamed up to create Tizen, what I don't lke about the situation is that they are focussing on html5 development rather than continuing with Meego's current approach.

So I have a random question, Do any of the new phones have the ability to switch off 3G and HSDPA? Its the one thing I miss about 1.6 on my Hero...

And everytime you switch is on, SA experiences an energy crisis?

My phone can make calls. To other phones. So I can talk to people.

What Stu is is talking about is called a "Dumb" phone...

So thread is back to open .

[D3PART3D]

Yeah, the best for one person isn't always the best for another. People couldn't understand why I took the Desire when the Desire HD was going for the same price. (Having too much bulk in my pockets annoys the frig outta me)

App for android phones called APN on/off.

[GreyWolf]

True dat. However I heard that Sony has a company policy ensuring that all the parts on their products are replaceable. So if something does go wrong, they can swap out the faulty bit.

The HD is wider but thinner.... LOL

Your logic she is flawed

[D3PART3D]

Doesn't matter, there'd still be the tent pole effect in my pocket. I imagine.

//What did I just say?

No, not at all... I have the HD... and I dont even know its there...

[D3PART3D]

Yes, but I'm just slightly taller than Ron, so in relation to my own size... did I mention my OCD?

Anyway, I just had a glimpse at the HD in a store and decided that smaller is better without much thought. I should have had more hands on time with it maybe but it's too late for that now.

[KatrynKat]

//oh there is soooo many things one can say about what you guys are talking about...

OT: something smallish and thin is what i like... cause i carry my phone in my pocket always... never in my backpack/handbag...
so it can't be bulky...

*bites tongue*

[novio]

just about to hit 4 full days. Battery on roughly 50%.

Been using it this week as a 'dumb' phone, but couldnt resist a few odd occasions of facebooking and google searching. Will take a snapshot when it is about to die:)

[Stuart]

Just dropped my phone in the parking lot at the church. Got a nice, big spiderweb crack on the top right corner stretching down.

[RuadRauFlessa]

Awww.... just upgraded to 2.3... not bad... Ye I know SE is waaay behind the times.
