s/of/have/g
Please use a verb in clauses, instead a homophonic (due to lazy pronunciation by many people) preposition.
And BTW, what does that "s/of/have/g" mean? Is that some sort of European annotation, perhaps?

So if what was meant by that was "should of have gotten", then it's still incorrect. There is no "of" in that expression; people who say or write "of" are slurring the "have". It is only, "should have gotten" (or in that abbreviation style, "s/have/g").

Substitute have for of, the g means globally. That is all "of" on the line are changed to "have". Without the g, only the first "of" in the line.

My typical "wow thats impressive" day throws in using the camera for an audit and the GPS to get there and recall to take meting notes.
the moment of utter despairer come in with the 3-4 hour battery life.

A thought just occured to me, Ive just finished a typical day with my n900. A couple of skype video calls, recieved a few SIP calls with multiple providers, downloaded a film from thepiratebay using transmission and watched it on the multi codec built in media player, downloaded a book from irc and read that on fbreader. Can you imagine a Steve Jobs-style-Nokian with a N900 and why oh why dont they tell peeps what their phones can do?
I could see legally downloading (and paying for, if commercial) movies, video podcasts, and tv shows via itunes, legally streaming movies and TV shows via netflix movies, and reading hundreds of thousands of books via the kindle app on an iOS device, so we do have some problems there feature wise, if we're going to stay on the legal side of the street. For all but us techies, being able to do that is a lot more of a win.
Don't get me wrong, I am really excited about meego - it's the way to go platform-wise, and it has the potential to be better than both android and iOS. But it's GOT to be at least in the ballpark of drop dead simple to use as iOS. Because 99.99% of the people aren't going to screw around with their devices to just get stuff they want when they want it. They'll gladly give up bittorrent to be able to watch a netflix movie, or read a book, or any of a thousand other things it's POSSIBLE to do on an n900, but simple to do in iOS and/or android. Even if its somewhat limited/constrained - not being able to figure out how to do something is even more constraining to most people.
But yeah... it's great you can do all that.
