Guest youngerpants Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 I love slashdot.org, and they have just posted a link to Howard Chui's review of the SPV slashdot article Obviously with slashdot being a big OSS community, there arew a few amusing comments there, but well worth the read
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 Slashdot Rocks, shame there's no MoDaCo link in there! :lol: P
Guest w0mbat Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 I read slashdot every day but get really fed up with all the idiots there that just want to bash anything to do with Microsoft. :x The site just seems to have gotten full of people who want to bitch about windows and praise linux. ( I use Xp, its great. I also use linux for work,its great but why do people feel I have to be in one camp or the other?) The article they link to seems pretty good and comprehensive. It complains about call quality and dropping which I have never had issues with so I would imagine is it to do with his carrier. Unfortunately someone reading the very anti comments on slashdot would be put off taking the leap to getting a smartphone which would be a shame. I love the SPV and had the choice between it and a 7650. I`m glad I made this choice and dont miss the Nokia at all! :lol:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 Indeed, there are some REALLY ill informed and idiotic posts in there. I've responded to a few, but it's a losing battle :lol: P
Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 i agree about poor radio use. I live in a area that should be good, but in reality is a bit poor inside the house. put my sim in the nokia and i can call from anywhere in say, my bedroom. on the spv, i need to sit at the window. so much as i love the spv, the signal quality is piss poor compared to the nokia. Also: unlike most on here, im a big nokia fan. but the spv needing buying
Guest HelloDave Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 There are a lot of stupid posts; I'm willing to bet that none of them have actually seen a real SPV, never mind used one! They're probably too busy buying a fluffy pig cover for their Nokia :D I love the way most of the posts slate Howard's review because it says "The SPV is the first commerically available Smartphone" (as in M$, not a smart phone) - "no it's not; what about the Treo, R380 etc etc" - do these people read anything!! Yes the SPV isn't perfect, and i'll concede that the build quality is sh*te, but i'd have it over any Nokia! It's quite amusing when people get jealous of my SPV and say things like "well my 7250 is soooo much better becuase, ummm, it's got a built in camera (ignoring its pitiful maximum res of course) and better ringtones cos its polyphonic". You have to chuckle :lol: Did notice this in one of the slashdot comments - Major Smartphone Forums: http://smartphone.modaco.com (tons of info + community there)
Guest abamara Posted June 6, 2003 Report Posted June 6, 2003 Well I was just looking at their list of supporters. Linux-this or Linux-that at everypage down command.
Guest fraser Posted June 6, 2003 Report Posted June 6, 2003 The topic was doomed by having Microsoft in the title. Slashdot is a great source of info and disscussion, but the anything Microsoft...forget it!!
