quote: Maemo is a mobile OS (based on linux), so i doubt you'll get it working on the N97. Problem with Maemo is that, although it's currently version 5, it's still pretty much in it's infancy and Nokia have pushed it out to see what people will do with it (with it being opensource) rather than offering it as a done-deal OS for phones (hence why it's only be released on a handful of phones over the years). It'll be interesting to see if it catches on though and whether or not Nokia decide to use it on other phones. I've also yet to find out whether nokia plan to update Maemo 5 on the N900 to 6 when it's released sometime this year.... However the N900 does look like a decent phone, been looking at getting one myself but will probably wait a few months to see what happens with Maemo. | |

maemo appears to simply be a browser on the n900 | |

What's the chance of getting Maemo for the N97? Is it the whole operating system, instead of the Symbian S60, or is it just the browser? | |

Agreed, the battery on the mini is pretty crap if you use all the stuff, can get a 3 or 4 days out of it if you don't do anything with it though. Wifi, Internet etc... | |

quote: It has a smaller battery than the N97 mini which is already shit, that'll be the reason. I'm still contemplating one though, I had a play with one last week and I liked it. I think the software will get better as well gradually. | |

quote: Yes, the keypad for texting is querty, fine one handed if you hold the phone vertically, or if you prefer, its full length if you hold the phone horisontally(both hands needed). Saying that, trying to text on the mrs Samsung touchscreen is near on impossible :lol: | |

quote: Really? I can't stand texting on touch screen, having a qwerty keyboard is far easier for me, guess it's whatever you're used to I spose. Only bad thing is 1 handed texting is a bit of a challenge on qwerty keyboards, I have to use the touch screen on my n97 for 1 handed | |

I dont understand why people who text a lot need a phone with buttons. I can text far quicker on my iPhone that any phone with buttons. :boggle: | |

Mainly because they're idiots. For an 'iPhone rival' phone, I don't see how they haven't adopted the majority of the iPhone's features (read MMS). | |

Why are manufacturers releasing phone without support for MMS these days?? | |
