  1. Elop confirmed that Android is a no go. Meego will be what the N900 was which is a crying shame. Android and iOS proved that platforms can come from nowhere to market leaders in very little time if the execution is correct.

    Symbian was shrinking but Nokia have killed off their highest market share OS and replaced it with the lowest market share OS.

    It's gonna be a year at least before we see a device too. Just give me PR 2.0 for my N8 before it kicks the bucket.

    What do you have against Android by the way?


  3. The OEMS mainly. They all got lazy and just throw Android into sub par hardware to increase profitability. It's resource heavy and the battery life rarely impresses. Updates aren't guaranteed by the manufacturer and will take months to be released if they do.

    I also just didn't get what all the fuss was about when I was using it either.

    I agree about the updates. Still on Froyo while Android 2.4 is almost coming. HTC needs to implement 2.3 for Sense. If they're done they can immediately start with 2.4..

    The battery life is indeed an issue, but I don't know if it is related to the OS.

    I used Symbian S60 and Android just works a lot smoother with no crashes or freezings at all. Symbian annoyed the hell out of me. But now Nokia has bowed for WP7, the OEMS will remain using third party operating systems. Only Apple lasts. Whether we like it or not, the mobile world is dominated by Apple, Google and Microsoft. And today's news just made that even more clear.
  5. Samsung still have their own Bada OS so kudos to them. They also do the best screens in the business. All their phones look the same though.

    I'm dreading the search for a new phone when the time comes. It will go a little like ''which Android slab do I want? iPhone hell no and no thanks to limited WP7''. I'll buy a Nokia E72 I bet.

    What do you actually want then? I don't care if my phone looks like other models. It's about the user experience in the end. With Nokia doing WP7, you won't have much choice left in the future.

    iPhone isn't worth it. The development was good at first but it seems to have stopped completely.

    I'm going Symbian in the future. Bada was a pain in the arse and Android I don't seem to be enthused as with anymore. Yeah it'll be great for modding and tweaking but not much else.
  8. Quite happy with this one. Don't think any other camera phone could have captured anything usable in weak moonlight. Obv lots of noise etc but quite nice none the less

  9. Any way to tell if my built in dvd rw is dual layer compatible? Device manager doesn't specify and google searches are patchy
  10. ImgBurn has a 'Device Capabilities' window that tells you all
  12. ImgBurn then for example chose 'Write Img to disc' . Then into the Tools Menu -> Drive -> Capabilities.
