The basic technology behind the chat and google talk is telepathy which is capable of connecting to sip and much more. However with the predecessors it was always a extra package to install which was released later as a addition. look for rtcomm.

Looking at the techspecs, it says OSK and pen input.

SIP settings? Anybody know if this will support SIP for Internet Calls like my Nokia E71 natively. I know it will probably support Fring and other SIP applications, but does the OS support in natively?

Thanks to anybody who knows.

BTW if it has transreflective screen (still not in range w/ pixel qi) it’s a sure winner. Keyboard is a laggard but still seems usable. I got info that FrogPad will get even smaller and lighter bluetooth keypad so that means a portable pro tool (at least for me).. if only head mounted displays were a mature technology… :\

It’s basically a smartphone but i think that other smartphones can’t even dream of starting OpenOffice on their platforms..

but linux apps will need to be appropriately ported and GUI-ed for such small screen & weak CPU, still the platform seems promising.. once it gets micro HDMI port that is.

Maemo 4 had a reasonable OSK. I expect Maemo 5 to have it too. Cant confirm right now though. Anyone else?

I wander, if this device has any other means of a text input besides this clumsy keyboard. Something like virtual keyboard, handwriting recognition. anything? Anything at all?

When you tested Flash performance on YouTube, it looked like you still left the Flash-heavy site open in another browser window. It would make more sense to test YouTube as the only window with Flash content. That would probably work well enough, which is good enough for me.

I can’t get over how small it is.
It’s a smart phone. Not for MID fans I feel. Fennec and another inch on the screen and it’s perfect as a MID. Drop voice too as far as i’m concerned!

Just loaded the jkkmobile page with the 3 videos on my iPhone 3GS and the page loaded very quickly and the videos started quickly and played smoothly. Of course youtube is the exception on the iPhone as other embedded flash media won’t play on it, which I assume the N900 will be able too.

Sadly this is a high end phone, not an internet tablet/MID.

And double tap to zoom doesn’t seem to do a nice fit as on Opera or the iPhone either. Very annoying!

Thanks for that. It looks very slick in operation.

But from that the browser doesn’t give me anywhere near the full experience I was hoping for. You’ve just save me £500!
