Official Crystal Web ADSL performance feedback thread Part 2...

why don't you guys use a real OS like iOS or WP?

Has this thread not had enough arguments for one day?

or even something like debian phone. gah. can't want to boot back to a proper os... linux at that.

how would these be an argument? The case is so overwhelming. Android are for cheap cool 7" phabulous phablets

Thanks for the info CW. Don't care if I sound like a fanBoi but my linux steaming distro and android roms has been great today. Wife watching latest Power Rangers -god what have I done

Glad to see the thread went from angry DDOS attack threats to robots, apples and rugby.

sadly no new devices running Symbian are about
The e61i was epic (not EPIC but epic!!!!!, unfortunately the Itanium failed to be epic)

- but for what it is worth

[Or buy a device using a real smartphone OS- Symbian (and I am only half joking)]

and

I find the Symbian bashing really amusing. Symbian for many years was out of the world the best operating system for smart phones. What has changed is that the hardware specs for smart phones have dramatically improved as prices have come down. An e71 is significantly more responsive, stable and just about everything else on less hardware than anything from Samsung. It meets the criteria of a good operating system particularly as a real time OS. Elop and co couldn't get symbian updated quickly enough to match the hardware improvements and more clunk in the OS is now acceptable as long as the phone is feature rich. Its particularly the emergence of graphic processors on tablets that makes Symbian obsolete for any form of a primary smart device. The point though is you wont find a better OS to run on ARM processors in terms of ability to use the underlying hardware to the best of its ability.

Now if you need to put an operating system onto a hardware package dedicated to taking and processing digital images which is clean and efficient Symbian isn't a bad place to go -your SLRs are getting increasingly snazzy processors on board. Unfortunately this is not what Elop and co are doing and that is why Nokia is in trouble - like Telkom it isn't using its strengths.
This phone makes no sense because the lens is going to render it idiotic not because it uses Symbian - for petes sake your SLR runs daft manufacturer OS.

hey my mommy isn't old - visually impaired and computer illiterate but not old

- my iPad has been commandeered by my mother who now uses email etc ... on both an iPad and iPhone 5 where she can actually see what is on the screen

Nokia...

Sigh...

 

[slvR]

still shaped? trying to grab a legacy AOSP build

 

[Paul Hjul]

@CataclysmZA
indeed the e71 and e73 were also beauts

as was The Saint phone:

(of course it lacked real horsepower what with being pre-Symbian)

I wonder whether Microsoft will bring out a Windows 10 device in the original 9000 form factor

spice up the specs from:
Intel 24 MHz i386 CPU and 8 MB of memory, which is divided between applications (4 MB), program memory (2 MB) and user data (2 MB).

to something like an
Intel® Atom™ x7-Z8700 Processor (which has a much cache on the processor as the total program memory of the original) and 8 GB of memory

Ok one non serious comment for freedom day: Y u no have credit card payments again this month?

I know the reason, it just seems to be taking extremely long to get sorted!

I feel like credit card payments have become CW's Half Life 3.
Will always be rumored, but will never actually come out.

It's how they keep you here with bated breath.

 

[DJ...]

Credit cards can now be used to make payments via your mobile at no cost to you. The details aren't on the latest invoice run but if you ask for your welcome email to be re-sent, you can grab the details. Alternatively, let me build a payment page quickly for you. New payments have been delayed for reasons out of our control, hence the shift to FNB banking which will now expedite things...

Nokia...

Sigh...

Am still using mine as a second phone... screen is starting to fail.

Guys, how accurate are the daily usage reports that get sent out?

Well, that's data sent from Telkom's infrastructure directly to us. We record the data against your account, so unless their entire Telkom RADIUS system has gone haywire (and there's no indication that it has), those reports are 100% accurate, and it measures each byte that flows from your account.
