Paywall :/

• gcb0 13y ago
  the verge has a write up of the paywalled report... it seems to be the same shell/hardware as the current windows phones. which is a huge let down. it will be yet another candy bar phone. if you had hopes of a n900 successor as well, it may be the time to give up already :(

    which is a huge let down. Quite to the contrary. Nokia has been making some of the best smartphone hardware for a while now - I considered switching to WP just so that I could use the 1520 (or whatever the one with the great camera was). I didn't in the end - if it supported Android I wouldn't hesitate. Unfortunately, this sounds like something quite different.

    For all those who dream of running emacs on their phone, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.

      Hum, an emacs native port for Android has been out for quite a while now [1]. Android is just a Linux system with a weird libc and windowing system. [1] http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid

        Unfortunately, this "port" is just running ordinary terminal Emacs inside of an Android terminal application. So it's pretty buggy and annoying to use; and you might as well just run it in a chroot.

      I'm a vi guy, but I had to laugh at that. :-)
