They mentioned a numeric keypad, which I would assume, since it is mostly useless for anything else, would be for dialing.

--I thought adaptability meant that iphoneOS runs only on a few Apple Devices, unlike WM(>30 devices?) and Android(>10 devices?) which run on whatever.
--Many people like WebOS because of the videos and developer manual, which shows a lot about it.
--The notification pop-ups/tray are a personal thing, but I would assume that if one OS had both optional, most users who tried both would strongly prefer tray. And I would assume you never had multitasking or good copy-paste on a smartphone, and are thus utterly incapable of missing it.

>>>"As someone noted, Apple (or Pre or WinMo btw) does not aim for us here. I'm an early adopter and I can get around. But when all of my employees (from the girl on economy to the last traveling perosnell) can handle the phone, check email, use wifi, surf --- and NO support (other than a broken glass) well ... that's says something. And how can the crappy iPhone take 65% of all mobile surfing?"
--No idea what you are saying there, but a good device should have a learning curve. Generally, the more learning curve means better productivity after spending a couple days. I am not saying this applies in all cases, and I'm not saying that any of the other phones have much of a learning curve either. And as discussed earlier, iPhone has a large market share because of pretty buttons and extensive marketing.

this is engadget, not twitter.

*actually, it said nokia 2605 then 2065... oops.
I messed that one up because it looks exactly like my nokia 6205.

First, they said 6205 and then 6025.
Second, that looks almost exactly the same as the Nokia 6205 I got on Saturday for free with a two-year plan from verizon.
Third, Firefox dictionary doesn't recognize "Nokia".

but it doesn't have a middle click. I practically use that more than left click. And would mouse gestures work, or would I end up reading engadget upside-down? Also, the three-finger one looks useless. and the four-finger would be better as a button/keyboard-shortcut.

@os ex boy - did you, by any chance, see his icon?
i meant for it to say that the first time...

did you, by any chance, see his icon?

the question is already answered, but the "less clearly legal" repository you want would, I believe, be under system > preferences >software sources then check multi-verse and universe and restricted and the other one.

Why couldn't it have android? Is it something with open source drivers, or why did the phone with android have to look ugly while this one looks great?
