Godinnit!
I do not want the iPhony and I don't want to use Exchange. I want the N900 to sync with my desktops the way any other Nokia phone does. It's not too much to ask.

I still cannot find a single hint out there on how this device can properly synchronize with OS X – as any Symbian device can via its own, Nokia-provided iSync plug-in. Nokia surely doesn't expect me to lay down money if they show no interest in providing a complete product? Which is a pity, as the N900 itself is very tempting. It needs to be functional though...
C'mon folks, is it really that hard to include some realworld-relevant information such as whether is freakin' syncs well with whatever M$-suite and OS-X? I totally appreciate your moody candle-shot but it's about the last thing relevant to my purchase decision. Nokia's Symbian devices sync well with OS-X via their iSync plug, so how about this one?
Does anyone care anymore? Palm screwed up in so many ways... "exclusive" deals, "exclusive" deals exported to Europe, semi-shoddy hardware on the Pre, the whole iTunes sync disaster, no WiFi on the Pixi (WTF?!), even more "exclusive" deals... And it all looked to good when they first presented the Pre. Could have been really interesting. Didn't happen, not for me.
we'll be told that cocaine is a hell of a drug!
"Unfortunately she went to the toilet and took cocaine" – yeah, most unfortunate. You never know who has been to that toilet before. Surely hope she didn't end up socializing some more in there, you never know what that does to your carreer either. I really pity those poor, poor media folks, the need help.
Don't waste your breath, the haters know no reason. Everybody else is completely aware that Palm should just build their own implementation / sync-app just as RIM and Nokia did. They are simply after the publicity, likely hoping to be seen as "the crazy ones" that challenge the mighty fruit. They should get a grip and focus on what is important: Make their stuff work on its own and get it sold to people without the darn exclusive-shackles.
Palm can get off their asses & produce a sync solution on their own. If Nokia can do it and make it work fine, so can Palm. Stop the damn whining. But what do I expect from YET ANOTHER company who would rather rake in the dough from exclusive deals than simply SELL ME THEIR FREAKIN' PRODUCT.
Guys, for real.
When you tell me "the supplied earbuds are crap", tell me whether the phone can amply drive proper alternatives.
When you tell me "the buttons could be better", tell me whether the hardware is up to snuff compared to the excellent E51. Rumor has it the E52 utterly sucks in terms of hardware and call quality when compared to its predecessor – so what about the E55?
When you tell me "has lots of data slots in contacts", tell me wheter it properly syncs them. Especially whether it syncs different categories / calendars / groups with OS X apps. It's a business device, that stuff is important.
It's a Nokia E, I expect it to work in a halfway decent way. What I need in a good review is a level of fine detail that I could otherwise only acquire by actually buying one. So don't waste a page showing us that the camera sucks (E series! Nobody really cares!) but get more bloody facts on the table!
I am much of the same opinion regarding the phone connection. It's a major PITA that clearly delays market entry, as you can see with this particular iRex and Europe being served "at some later point". Instant purchases on the go are of almost zero value to me. As long as there is WiFi included I'll just sync it at home. Throw in bluetooth and just use your mobile for everywhere-access (unless that means being shaftet for "tethering", harr harr).
On the other hand, I would at least *assume* that these deals with mobile-providers provide makers with the ability to sell the devices cheaper than they would be without them. That would be welcome, but it still delays my ability to purchase one.
Engadget wrote that this reader still has some major performance quirks, but the more to choose from the better.
Good to see you have zero clue about the cost involved with producing an appealing hardcover book. And E-Readers have no content? You mean like iPods? Useless… It's not like I could PDF this – or any – article and read it on my commute. That totally came for free. Whoops. Seriously, the last thing I want to read on an E-Reader right now is a novel. But I'd love one the countless bits and pieces I print to PDF and then find no time to consume.
I won't share all my data (and they can't tell me there will be no registration and tracking) just because some plod thinks gave him a funny look. Why don't they just put a sign that say "stay away!". Nuckin' futs. At some point, someone must have messed up terrorist/tourist, and since it's too embarrassing to admit that by now they simply go all the way – till even the last tourist is exterminated.
Small, wireless, decent resolution – that makes a good wearable display in my book! This will be awesome for all kinds of engineers and mechanics who actually have to get their hands on stuff. Check live data while you work on some machine without looking away, hands free… nifty. Could run on something other than Windows though, purdy please.
