*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N97

LOL. So you're telling me the Qualcomm chipset (the same thats in the Diamond Pro, and very similar to whats in the Touch HD by HTC) is NOT capable of Multimedia? You have a RIM Bold right? What HalfVGA video recording at 30fps on such a nice HVGA screen with Triband HSDPA with 3.5mm headset jack NOT good enough for you? Hmm; All of that is pretty close to industry device standard right now. Not to mention the 3.2MP AF camara on the Storm/8900 Curve. Again its the SW that is holding YOU back; not the hardware! RIM in the Bold, Storm, and Curve 8900 is the first REAL attempt at multimedia for consumer devices while the PC desktop software released last year was the first for software for the PC - besides iTunes support in BBDM. But just how many consumer focused software utilizes all that hardware prowess? Not much - and the ones that do significantly affect the overal device performance. You'll see significantly improved apps when MIDP3 (JSR 271) gets finalized and distributed by Sun. And if you're unsure what that is; you need to pay attention MORE to SW since you're hardware is already quite capable.



Ah Maemo! That actually is VERY VERY fast but the dev community seems bleak; maybe I haven't digged far enough. Actually I plan on learning Linux this summer but with all these Linux flavors its hard to tell what can work with which version & on which device for newbs like me. I take it you've been playing with N810?

As I currently type this, I have 12.8MB of free RAM and I wouldn't even be able to tell if I didn't have Handy Taskman. I think my Handy Taskman is broken
 
D: Ram? I don't think RAM will show up as a partition because you can't save anything in RAM and if you could then it will disappear "magically" :D

In N97 you have:
C: Internal Storage ( < 100MB I think)
D: Internal Mass Storage (32GB)
E: Memory Card Inserted
 
Xenon, I agree. 5MP, 8MP, 12MP, 24MP or 2MP doesn't make a difference if the autofocus speed is low and the sensor sensitivity is low. The screen coming out like that will make it so much easier to use. They thought through the ergonomics and usability and made that their focus IMHO. They were right in saying earlier in the year they wouldn't be increasing marketing type numbers as much as making a new device that is more functional.
