So this "Other manufacturers" forum isn't for Nokia but other non-SE brands |

both o/s have their benefits.. series60 is kinda long winded..but has to be becasue there's no touch screen.
my biggest pet peeve with uiq is that most apps rely on a task manager to close them... all apps should have the option to close and exit like in series 60. |

He's even comparing the series 60 with the Tungsten! I think the reviewer does not know the real meaning of "PDA". It's more than just calendars and contacts. |

The Register has never written any good articles anyway, so why should this be any better?

That's a software design issue, not UIQ. Lot's of PX00 apps have that option.
But i think that the OS itself (Symbian 7) could check for inactive apps and close them, probably that's the way Symbian 6.1 works.

@ ppcrockar
what have you got against el reg? I usually find it quite amusing... Anyway the article is not just slagging off nokia, just the n-gage as we now see it. I'm sure the next version of the n-gage will be quite a lot more impressive.

Here we go. Now The Register is never writing any good articles. How dare they say N-Gage is better than P900 *in some areas*?! Naughty register.
This must be a bad article as well then.

And this one too.

@ Super G
Yes those articles aren't any better. I stand by my statement that I don't like the articles at The Register. But that is clearly not an opinion that one is allowed to have....

What do you mean "that is clearly not an opinion you are allowed to have" ? I was more curious to know why you have that opinion, wasn't meaning to challenge you for having it...

oh well. totally off track anyway.
n-gage is a poor implementation of a mobile gaming device - but quite a good idea. It runs series60, which is the biggest volume smartphone system. Series60 and UIQ have different philosophies about how to use smartphones, and depending on what you want (touchscreen or not) you are likely to prefer one or the other. However it has to be said all things being equal, you would expect a UIQ device to cost more than series 60 - so it should be better... |
