Guest NuShrike Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) The M900 is definitely a much better replacement for Touch Pro 2, Touch HD, Tilt, and derivations because of its proven, time-worn parts, Samsung cpu never given to lag, low-power super-star SiRF III GPS, new 3D support (besides previous FPU support) in the Samsung S3C6410 cpu, etc. Still lacking a d-pad to be an all-around contender. The irony is if its quality is good enough still to make it quantity popular. Edited February 20, 2009 by NuShrike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is if its quality is good enough still to make it quantity popular. A fingerprint reader is basically a mini scanner, and with the right software it can act as an optical joystick. I don't know if E-Ten have implemented this on the M900, but if they have then there's your d-pad substitute. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
