It's weird that you need a dual-core CPUs now in phones in order for them to run correctly. Maybe it's my Ericsson, but I've seen others, I've seen the "Force Closes", I've seen the sluggishness.
#Meego os v1.2 android#
I have to say it right now, I HATE the Android experience!īecause it actually reminds me of a PC and not a phone. not sure how much it will last with me using it as I use phones (never off!) The only thing I miss is the physical QWERTY (I don't like writing on touch-screens) and what really bugs me is the non-removable battery. Apps? Baaah! I usually use like 10 apps and I have most of them (or similar ones) on the MeeGo Nokia so it's Ok. I have +32GB on my Sony Ericsson phone and I'm not even using 1/4 of that. It seems that the list of cons is actually larger but don't get me wrong, I'm loving this phone and most of the cons are nitpicks. * No QWERTY (I LOVE ME SOME PHYSICAL QWERTY ACTION! :-p) * Swipe takes a bit getting used to (no buttons, all touch-screen) * microSim (I have to get an adapter if I want to use my Ericsson now!) * Not as many good apps as Android or iOS * No Expandable memory (comes with 16GB or 64GB)
* Comes with a cool rubber casing (same color as the phone) * MeeGo OS has been a good experience up till now I wont be delving into all of the features or a full-fledge review though, for that you can actually trust professionals and take a look at:īut I will offer my hands-on views and opinions on it on these few hours (10 of usage). Since I'm a weirdo, I didn't take the black version of the phone and they didn't have the white one (which looks killer!) so I went with cyan! (my current one is red hahaha).
#Meego os v1.2 pro#
Hardware-wise seems pretty standard compared to most phones on the market and even to my current one, a Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (Android) but what has always set Nokia apart from most companies, phone build! This cell phone is built like a tank and looks just completely gorgeous (compared to the plastic, squeaky Sony, it completely kills it!!) So it might be similar spec-wise to others but man oh man, it's really a lovely phone. Internals: TI OMAP 3630, 1 GHz Cortex A8 CPU, PowerVR SGX530 GPU, Accelerometer, proximity, compass, etc. Pentaband (so works on T-Mobile, AT&T, etc.Įxtra Connections: WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, NFC, USBĬamera: 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual LED flash, OS: MeeGo OS, v1.2 Harmattan
Size: 480 x 854 pixels, 3.9 inches (~251 ppi pixel density) I figured that I would try it out for a few weeks and get like +300% by selling the phone on eBay (as these sell for 350+ dollars used) but herein lies the problem, I'M LIKING IT!!! lol!!!ĭisplay: AMOLED capacitive touchscreen (Gorilla Glass), 16M colors The MeeGo project will continue to expand platform support as new features are incorporated and new form factors emerge in the market.Since I was out of contract, I decided to renew it and on the way pick up this phone.
#Meego os v1.2 portable#
All of these platforms have common user requirements in communications, application, and internet services in a portable or small form factor. MeeGo currently targets platforms such as netbooks/entry-level desktops, handheld computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, connected TVs, and media phones.
#Meego os v1.2 software#
* State of the Art Linux stack optimized for the size and capabilities of small footprint platforms and mobile devices, but delivering broad linux software application compatibility * Open source project organization managed by the Linux Foundation * Easy to use, flexible and powerful UI/app development environment based on Qt * No-compromise internet standards support delivering the best web experiences * Performance optimizations and features which enable rich computational and graphically oriented applications and connected services development The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space. MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. It integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies.
