Nokia Takes A Beating Online About Slow N97 Processor
Posted on Apr 30, 09 11:55 AM PDT
Nokia is feeling the heat today when people on all sides lashed on the Arm11 434Mhz that it is using in the flagship N97 phone. Given the high tag price of the device ($600 without contract?), critics are right to complain the Arm11 architecture is quite old, I think that PDAs actually ran with that a while back. Now we usually don't care about the Mhz themselves, but there's one thing that is intolerable: a non-responsive phone.
Nokia might work some magic to avoid having a sluggish phone, but it seems difficult at this point and their hardware isn't helping for sure. The iPhone is currently using a 667Mhz Arm-based CPU.
