The great combined Smrtphone OS thread

I'll take capacitive charging thought....
Can all the cellphone companies (bar apple because they're apple duh) get together and agree on a capacitive charging standard like they did with the charger/data cable?

I suspect I'll ultimately get a IP5 but I agree -- just can't understand why there's this assumption that a bigger screen is automatically great. I am perfectly happy with the IP4's form factor and only want it to be thinner and lighter.

Now I realise the amount of coverage given to the camera features of Nokia phones generally reflect the editorial judgement of the publications concerned but the incessant (and clearly not working) focus by Nokia on hardware specs to try and sell devices is tiresome and frankly flabbergasting.

Hey guys have you noticed that it hasn't worked for the past few years?

The Nokia camera tech is so awesome that Nokia has to fake the promo videos to do it justice.

It's because its the only variable thing that hasn't already been widely publicised really. Windows Phone 8 is gonna be Windows Phone 8, it was unveiled months ago and there is really nothing left to say about it. The hardware is the only new thing to talk about hence its talked about incessantly. That 920 looks like a total piece of shit by the way.

lol =P owtch!

When will Nokia realise it's lost and give up already. New lumia outshone by the Samsung windows phone

LOLKIA!

There's so much fail on display in this one article I CBF listing it all.

http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/m...906-25fqw.html

If a picture paints a thousand words, then this picture is equivalent to me saying "MY EYES THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING" 167.67 times:



Edit for great lols: those are the Googorola RAZR M, RAZR HD and RAZR MAXX HD (yes, the names are all in caps). Those are as-yet unreleased phones FROM GOOGLE ITSELF and they don't run the current version of Android. In conclusion, Android.

However, battery life seems to be spectacular.

i wonder if android battery claims are rated the same way car horsepower is claimed.

ie, this car has 200hp before you factor in 20% for drivetrain loss and ancillary vampiric power drain

As if Nokia are the only ones that do that. Heaps of companies do, Apple included

From the manual: "Optimal battery performance can be achieved by logging in to the handset remotely via SSH, running top, identifying potentially-problematic system and user processes, and issuing the command kill -9 PROCESSID to kill those processes. Please note that neither Google nor its subsidiary Motorola accepts responsibility for temporary or permanent damage your phone may suffer if the remote user inadvertently terminates an essential process. We hope you enjoy your new Android handset!"

Lumia 920: "It's also definitely got buit-in wireless charging, which is a really big deal. It's the first major phone to offer that convenience"

Who cares? It won't be out for months, this could EASILY be in the new iPhone or Samsung will just slap it into a phone that's just about in production already.

If it is ACTUALLY the first PRODUCTION phone that does this magical thing I might be impressed.

This is like the Surface "launch" all over again. An unfinished product, no availability date, and reviewers aren't allowed to use it. All I can assume is that these phone companies would rather be called shit for a week before the Apple event because hey, at least getting called shit means someone's talking about them. They sure as hell ain't getting talked about after Sept 12.

To be fair the DROID RAZR MAXX, (), has the best real world battery life of any smartphone on the planet right now.

btw if you go system prefs and setup your hotspaces so lower left starts screensaver, you can have a really fluid and natural alternative to the archaic and backwards windows+L(??) keystroke which you are used to.
