Comment Why don't people like goodphones? (Score 2, Interesting) 317
It seems as though there are a lot of negative comments here from people who just want a phone to be a phone. If this is the case then dont buy this phone! Slashdot release news about interesting geeky products, not boring ones. If you just want a phone that calls and SMSs then get the Nokia 1100 or 1101.
This phone actaully has a great spec. Lots of people don't seem to be reading the article. Battery life will be similar to the N91 for playing MP3s, i.e. about the same as an iPod. The MP3 player has a better interface where you can actually search without scrolling through all your songs.
The camera is no DSLR but that's not the target. It's a 3MP with a good lense. It would replace an average $150 digi cam.
The video recording also looks fantastic, with resolution and bitrate that will look good on a standard TV - possibly better than home (analog) video cameras. It has TV out as well.
It runs S60 so you can write your own programs or download other peoples. There's thousands, possibly more than Windows Smartphone / Mobile.
This phone has an undeniably great spec. If that's not for you then don't get it.
