I'm not in agreement - not fully at least. The Nokia was maybe preferable to the older Tandberg 2115 terminals, but the later Tandberg models were better in every respect (the last one I used was the 2400. Excellent. black-on-white, multiple serial inputs so that you could use one terminal with multiple computers, etc.)
The Tandberg keyboard was, on every model, vastly better than anything else out there, including the Nokia. I should mention that A) I have one Nokia 301 S terminal at home, and B) I still have ND/Tandberg keyboards with PS/2 interfaces, I use it today on my Linux box and it's still better than anything, for a touch typist like me.
One thing the Nokia terminal has is that it can switch to VT220 mode too. It's got several identities built in, including that one.
(I've got an ND-110 mini as well, that's what I need the Nokia for - the console port is current loop only. Which the Nokia terminal supports.)
- tannhaeuser 6y agoLooking of the pictures, I think I actually meant the Tandberg 2400 - definitely looks closer to what I remember than any of the Nokias. Though I sat in front of one or two older 2115s most of the time and could work with the 2400s only when the boss or someone else with a 2400 wasn't in the office. I'm getting quite some details wrong it seems. The ND competence on HN to proove me wrong here is amazing :)
