>> • WiFi (b/g)
Booo !
Give us Xtreme speed N !
WiFi is the cheapest Internet (and other IP utilities) way to connect. With FREE Hotspots in many Cafes and N-at-home so commonplace it is unfortunate that this type of device (Linux on a Phone) has this limitation.
2.
A need for a larger (than 5M) Main Camera and the lack of a Second Camera (for VideoPhone / InternetVideoChat) is also awful.
3.
It could have had a wider screen. I have HDTV videos that look very clean on earlier models but the Black-Bars are annoying.
4.
Horizontal Tilt-and-Slide (instead of “just slide”) would be better for watching movies.
5.
WGA at only 25FPS ? why not have flawless playback at 30FPS ?
6.
I hope the AV-Connector / Headphone jacks are on the ends (and not the side (as with the N95).
7. I like that larger memory and faster processor, but is there a video co-processor (like the N95) ?
If they came out with this 4 years ago it would be SUPER !!!
I’ll wait for the N9???
mobile computing nowadays is not yet very powerful compared to netbooks but time will come that it would become like that..-~
we need some smaller and energy efficient microprocessors to support mobile computing ,”:
