You don't need to accept anything. Former Federal Agents fired for excessive brutality aren't going to kick in your door and make you click on the order button. :silly:
I can accept it's the prime function for yu0. You have 4 left. You have more than 5 primary cannot lose functions? What device are you using that fulfills these functions that N97 won't? What attracts you to N97 at all? It's obviously not the device for you?
Again, what's your motive? Are you just trolling this thread for responses? Are you hoping someone at Nokia is going to read? Do you hope to get a bunch of "me too's"? Honest question, cause I don't understand your purpose.
You can certainly see the words I"m typing but apparently aren't understanding them when they're put together. Not sure how I can be any more clear.
Sure, except it's not a dilemma to me.
I digressed for a moment to ponder another possibility (another Home Screen) is certainly possible conceptually, but we need to know the max memory footprint of it, much less how it would scale. I haven't gotten that deep into the SDK yet, have you?
We're certainly aware of the last most famous post on how much memory available on startup. Maybe you want more RAM and are prepared to pay $800 instead of $700? I'll be happy paying $500, thanks.
I'm not sure what you do for a living, but in the software world, we call this "feature creep." Crawl, walk, run is the proper order of operations. 5800 was crawl... this is walk. Run might not be until later in N97 firmware lifespan... or maybe not until N97-4 or N98. Obviously, you shoudln't buy it if that's not acceptable to you.
No, not only should you not buy, you shouldn't get worked up over something that's obviously not going to satisfy, and again, I'm curious on your motivation. If it's so obviously unable to meet your needs, what's your point?
FWIW, I haven't owned a Nokia since the 3390. For many reasons. came VERY close to N95-8Gb and most eagerly awaited N96 lurking it's official thread... until I finally saw how much it was and what I'd be getting. I didn't troll the N96 thread talking about how much Nokia or N96 sucked, though. I simply didn't buy one and moved on.
N97 is what's finally bringing me back.
Still pretty good compared to the N96 cycle.
My point isn't that 5 should be enough for you. It's that 5 is probably enough for most of the people that Nokia is making this phone for.
Sure, I think we have a consensus that the software optimization is the issue and not simply throwing hardware at it, which would be raising the cost.
I would NOT be interested if the phone debuted at $800+ and you wouldn't be reading my words in this thread if it were. I'd be waiting until it was between $500-700 street unlocked/unsubsidized.
So that means you have that list of mid-range $300 unsubsidized phones that match N97's specs right?
