Re: N9: It's finally here

Since no one has mentioned it, yet... it looks like the N9 has a digital compass (aka magnetometer). The lack of one was one of my major complaints about the N900.

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

I've held out little hope for Meego just based on the speed of development of Maemo vs Android.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

Routing is still odd with me.

I use it daily to get a route from home to the train station, 35 miles away, mostly by Interstate highway. Sygic will pick a different exit and different side roads...

Re: What are the 5 most important apps you've installed on your N900?

My top 5 by either use or importance:

1. Joikuspot
2. Sygic Mobile Maps
3. gPodder
4. Firefox
5. Dial Central

And add Flashlight to that for an honorable mention.

Re: N900 Specifications

Well, since it has aGPS and 3D accelerometers, a "digital compass" is nothing more than a simple app.
