More bashing = more clicks = higher ad revenue.

This is, sadly, how Engadget and the rest of the internet works; so I don't expect them to leave their bias since it's how hey earn money.]]>Jan 11th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://bit.ly/nokia-900-full-specs-details-best-or-worst

Honestly, I'm absolutely stunned by how little I miss portrait mode. Before I got my N900, I always used portrait mode unless I was typing something, but the N900 has such a large resolution (WVGA), I don't miss it at all.

Don't underestimate WVGA. Remember that the iPhone and most Android devices have HVGA screens. WVGA in landscape mode is 800x480; HVGA in portrait mode is 320x480. In other words, the N900's vertical resolution in landscape mode is just as large as the iPhone's vertical resolution in portrait mode!]]>Jan 11th 2010 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 12th 2010 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/
After all the feedback I'm going to order one, I mean the device is still top tier--if I don't like it I can sell it back for full price at the moment.]]>Jan 12th 2010 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/
Had to join the choir here. I really don't miss portrait at all, I think using resources on that is kind of waste. Especially with the browser, the way you want to use it is landscape & stulys. No zooming for viewing or clicking links and pages look just like on PC. ]]>Jan 12th 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/
In fact the only reason I still have my E71 and E65 is for use in Asia...

Come on Nokia, get back on track!]]>Jan 11th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/

I'm pretty sure my e71 got 5 software updates, and version 210 fixed the camera, let´s see:

110
200
210
300
400

Yes, 5 firmware updates, the last one a little over a month ago, so I don't know what you mean.]]>Jan 12th 2010 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/And I forgot my brother's 5800 got 4 firmware updates, which I did for him.

And my old N81 had 3 before I lost it somewhere.

And I do hope my N900 gets an update to Maemo 6, because if I have a problem with Nokia is that I can never update my phones to the next version of their OS. But as for firmware updates that fix bugs and add new features I can't complain so far.]]>Jan 12th 2010 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/
You guys are lucky then, because my E71 White NA is still stuck on 200 (Phone came with 100). I've checked frequently up to the last 2 months or so because I got so tired of seeing NO UPDATES. ]]>Jan 12th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 11th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/

this is actually a small Update, big update with a new game( another version of bounce) is yet to follow :)

Plus, it's a really good and very responsive resistive screen.]]>Jan 11th 2010 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 11th 2010 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/
All the other replies are correct. The N900 has a WVGA screen; that's a much higher resolution than the iPhone or most Android devices. When the resolution gets that high, you need the precision a resistive screen offers.

With a resistive screen, you can click on really tiny links that you just can't click on with a capacitive screen. On my N900, I can browse the web with the browser (which is just a port of Firefox to Maemo 5's UI) zoomed out all the way without any problems. Try doing that on an iPhone.

Also, the N900 comes with a sketch program that allows you to draw using the stylus, and you can download a note-taking app that lets you write on the screen as if the N900 were a literal notepad. Using the stylus, I can write on the screen and have it look completely identical to my normal handwriting (and I'm rather particular about my handwriting, as I've spent quite a bit of time teaching myself how to write in a semiserif italic hand). Try doing that with a capacitive screen.

I'll also add that my fingers are considerably thicker than average, and I have great difficulty using capacitive screens because my fingers are too big to have any kind of fine control while directly touching the screen. Fortunately, I keep my nails a bit on the longish side, meaning I can use resistive screens just fine even without a stylus, as I can just use my nails.]]>Jan 11th 2010 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 11th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 12th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 11th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 11th 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/Jan 11th 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/nokia-n900-gets-first-software-update-but-dont-expect-much/
