Sorry for the bad quality (digital zoomed video) but her goes : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEw_UryTkJI

All it takes is a small symbian application, your quake 1 folder copied to the memory card, and a phone that kicks ass (like the N82).

I have seen Quake run on Andriod as well... so the big question is, can the ifruit do it ? :p
 
Who cares, I have my computer for things like that.

The real question is: Does the N82 look as superifically cool as the iPhone does? NO.

The N82 looks a lot cooler than the iPhone. As they say - beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Your just jealous because this is just another one of those things we can put on the list of can not do with an iPhone.

Remebber - the name says it all - iPhone : as in, I phone and does nothing else.

Hehehehe - I can get a fold able full sized bluetooth keyboard for my N82 - all I need now is a mouse....
 
Ahh let the guy have his run at the iPhone - the rest of the internet is, so why slow Rouxenator down?

People will have different opinions and now bwana has pointed out something for Rouxenator.

Live by Buddha - Learn by Google :D

... or should that be MyBB? ;)

Since the topic is iPhone gaming I think it looks like an interesting platform. I understand that EA games has already rolled out Spore for the iPhone and is developing a whole slew of games. It makes sense - the iPhone is clearly a brilliant entertainment platform.

Strangely enough the more I look at the iPhone - thanks to threads like this - the more appealing the iPhone is becoming.

TBH - until recently I had no intention of ever leaving the Blackberry fold but if Vodacom comes out with a similar data packages to their blackberry one then I'm seriously going to consider it.

Apart from the apparently excellent gaming and general entertainment value, as a photographer just having that big screen at my disposal is really appealing so if I dont get an iPhone then I'm almost certain to get a Touch.

Either you or Vodacom are quite sick sir :p :D LoL
Couldn't let the oppurtunity pass by.

I've got nothing against Rouxenator posting apparent defects concerning the iPhone - like you say, there are things to learn - from both sides of the tracks.

Been reading up on the Touch Pro, seems uber nice.
That and the SE X1 :)

Quake 3 is not the issue - you could run that on an old slow ass Ngage : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-dx5ZE4G_0

This is about the speed it runs at and amount of modification you need to run it. On Symbian phones with Power VR 3D (like the N95 and N82) you need very little (just a small symbian app) to run the original pc version of quake at insane speeds.

Yet again the iphone is lagging behind the rest of the world, and so is its supporters :p
 
The specs are not that different, both use ARM 11 architecture...

iPhone
Samsung S5L8900 (412 MHz ARM 1176 processor, PowerVR MBX 3D graphics co-processor)
Click to expand...

N82
Texas Instruments OMAP 2420(332 MHz ARM 1136 processor, PowerVR MBX 3D graphics co-processor)
Click to expand...

The iphone could run anything supported on the Nokia.

lol...you talking about Quake 1? the first 3D FPS? do you know how old even quake 3 is my friend?

I would much rather play Q3Arena with motion Sensors and Multiplayer than Quake1 on ANY phone. You got Pwned, now say sorry lol....

No can someone please close this clowns account.

All his threads have failed miserably and his attempt at being a good MyBroadband member also failed.

PRETTY PLEASE BWANA!

If you do not like the show it is pointless to shoot the TV.

Now, I am not one to bask in my own glory, but I have had a lot of pretty good threads/posts here with very good response on them - and believe it if you like - many of them does not have any iFruit content at all.

Perhaps that is what you are so jealous of or maybe it is my N82 or I-am-a-rebel-rouser-attitude ?

I think no one can state it better than Lady Sovereign when she sang :
Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.
Love me or hate me, that is the question.
If you love me then thank you!
If you hate me then .... you!
