E51 v E71 v E72 v N900

E51 camera was unusable because of color distortion
E71 camera was OK and macro was perfect
E72 camera takes 5 minutes to snap and macro is dead
N900 camera is beautiful in sunlight

E51 browser crashed every minute so I switched to UCWEB
E71 browser had 20 useless Nokia bookmarks I could not delete. More UCWEB.
E72 browser is fast but forgets bookmarks
N900 browser is a work in progress but really handy for desktop like browsing but flash is useless

E51 email was OK so I bought profimail
E71 email was nice after installing something from betalabs
E72 email is annoying. I only use MfE for google calendar sync. Still love profimail.
N900 email I have not tested on this week's second firmware update

E51 battery was OK because I was not on IRC or twitter back then
E71 battery life was painful because I was on IRC and twitter all day
E72 battery life is better but I dont IRC anymore. MobileWays wont move my WirelessIRC license to a new IMEI
N900 battery life seems nice but I dont have 3G

E51 display was nice but a bit small
E71 display was easier to read
E72 display seems no different than E71
N900 display is beautiful. I'm using it to read most nights

E51 keyboard was OK but the clicks sounding like bangs when on the phone
E71 was the most comfortable keyboard I've used on a mobile. Better than the SU8W.
E72 keyboard is painful only because of the space bar. The torch key takes far to long.
N900 keyboard looks perfect but 3 rows is uncomfortable at times

E51 3G coverage was iffy until ATT lit up 850Mhz
E71 3G and voice where good once I disabled GSM
E72 3G coverage cuts out a lot. Could be ATT.
N900 3G I have not tested.

E51 GPS did have a GPS
E71 GPS locked in a few seconds if you have DATA
E72 GPS can take a minute to lock and it will drop once or twice an hour. Maps Booster helps.
N900 GPS seems a bit weak like the E72

E51, E71 and E72 contacts sync through Zyb. I love syncml
N900 contacts might sync through Google MfE soon.

What did I miss?

Ovi means incompetence in Finnish?

Keeping the E72 light

I can test new apps on the E51

This is all I plan to install / configure the next few days.

facebook
google maps
google mobile
mobile weather
oggplay
profimail
putty
quickoffice
screenshot
wirelessIRC
x-plore
youtube
zyb

24 hours on the E72

GPS lock not as good as the E71
Keyboard a bit flimsy
Not heavy enough
MfE leaves my contact sync account on the active idle as an email address by default
Opti-whatever is useless
No good themes installed
Stupid games installed
Mail app is still nowhere near Profimail 3
Transition effects are silly

First I setup MfE for Google Calendar sync.
Second config step was Zyb.

Tomorrow I'll start loading apps.

Week one on Maemo

Some quick notes.

Scrolling is buggy. Sometimes I can use the arrows on the keyboard which helps.

Must build a VM to make debs if you're a long time *nix user ie: no screen or gnu locate. I hope to wrap that

The calender only looks nice. No MfE to sync with Google like on 60.

The audio might cleaner than Apple but that's not saying much.

Audio playback and sound effects skip sometimes but flac ringtones are awesome.

The app selection is limit but with such an amazing browser I'm not worried.

ATT EDGE IS SLOW
