Its just a little faster than the 5800 but not much.

Meh, I'll overclock mine if I get one, I may even watercool it by dropping it in the bath!

i've heard that'll lower the temps by a substantial amount

what's even more disappointing is that the trackpad is placed on the left so when using it popped open you have to use your left thumb

That's deeply unimpressive. Even my C905 trumps that.

Isnt that the intuitive side to have a trackpad? :confused:

Just like every games control pad ever?

What CPU does the C905 use? I thought it was an ARM 11 at 330-400Mhz? The N97 is slightly faster if that's the case.

Sorry my bad. It's a slow ass ARM processor> I thought for some stupid reason that it was something else.

Sure most games consoles have left control pad placement but I think it is easier to use your right hand to manipulate the pointer on screen on a touchpad type affair.

Theres no 'pointer' on this phone.

But why would you use a pointer on a touchscreen phone, Im confused.

Youstolemyname · 29 Apr 2009 at 11:12

More accuracy, highlighting and selecting text while holding down mouse button perhaps?

I see your point but some apps just work better with a pointer.

It's a minor detail the more I think about it but I would have preferred it being on the right...
