in Ye Giant Nokia E75 Review on ZOMG its Cj
why can Nokia not put video out on their supposeded business phones?
Video out is killer, as then it becomes a true laptop replacement device, and you can do your work/life in a truely mobile way.
Reading through the feature list, i was *almost* tempted to get one to replace my E90 (which while i can cope with the size, it does get a little boring hearing the same "nice but too big" comments over and over again).
Two things stopped me; low resolution screen (can't really go back to QVGA after 800x352) and the fact that there is no Video out.

Heya Mike ! Thanks for dropping by. I agree, no Tv-out is a real loss. I do not get why Nokia assumes its business device users dont need atleast some of the features that come standard with most new Nseries devices. The 3.5mm jack is there, why not have tv-out too. *shrug*

in The Tao of Mac - On Apple, Netbooks, and My Line of Work on The Tao of Mac
regarding Opera, it may work so well on the limited screen as they have experience with the QVGA screens on phones, the "small screen render mode" that has been in there for a while etc.
I like Opera as it has the features in a single package, rather than Firefox that has a reasonable base then you need to start searching for all the add-ons (which as i use far to many different computers (work, customer...) means no two places are the same)

Actually, no. It doesn't work well in graphical terms as a browser - the fit to width option makes a mess of some layouts, and their mobile know-how doesn't translate well to the desktop browser.
I'm finding it a pain to use for actual web surfing - it is full of irritating little pauses that have no relation to the SSD (no disk access), becomes slower as you open more windows and gobbles up RAM like you wouldn't believe (80% over Firefox with an equivalent set of tabs).
And it is unbearably slow in JavaScript-intensive sites. My usual workflow with it has been to fire it up to check e-mail via IMAP, follow a couple of links, and then kill it before it hangs (which it invariably does) and then switch to Firefox.
I will eventually get rid of it and find myself a decent, light e-mail app.
