How is Curve better than Bold?

Hi! I have a Bold 9000. I heard the Curve is lighter than the Bold (why?), but as far as I know, they are otherwise extremely similar. What are the differences and pros/cons of each, and why do they make both?
Thanks!
Justin Dutoit

Assuming you mean the 8900 Curve since you posted in this section...
The Bold has 3G, for one thing.
the 8900 has double the memory, and better camera.
both have Wifi.
compare them side-by-side here:

  • How XI is better than BAPI method

    Dear all,
    How XI technology is better than BAPI method, with the help of BAPI we can connect Non SAP system with SAP then why XI is better and in what respect.
    Thanks,
    RP

    > Hi,
    > Can you connect BAPI with some DB system without XI?

    Of course you can.
    Just develop a Java/.NET application that will call RFCs through JCo/.NET Connector and DB's through any driver you want.

  • How to get better than 5.2MB/s transfer rate from USB 2.0 on Mac Mini

    G'day,
    I've got a circa 2007 Mac Mini with 1GB of RAM, running Snow Leopard. Connected to this is a USB 2.0 500GB Seagate Freeagent drive from circa 2008. As far as I know, the USB disk is free of errors.
    I am trying to use dd with a block size of 1MB to transfer a 250GB file from an Ethernet mounted Time Capsule drive to the USB disk on /dev/disk1.
    A dd from the Time Capsule to the /dev/null gives me a transfer rate of ~35-40MB/s. However, when the target is /dev/disk1, the transfer rate is only around 5MB/s. I checked the system profiler and disk1 is connected to the USB High Speed Bus.
    Any clues on how to improve USB 2.0 transfer performance?

    Fragmentation is unlikely to be an issue since I was trying to write to the raw block device with dd which is as close to a pure sequential write scenario as one is likely to encounter (e.g. no small block, random access involved)
    From a Linux host, I was able to dd to a file on the disk's file system at 20MB/s.
    I'll run some other tests with another disk to see whether the issue is peculiar to the disk or to the Mac's USB subsystem.

  • How is mail better than Gmail??

    Hello,
    I have been using web-based gmail for a long time now and really love it. For those of you that use Mail to access your gmail account, what do you like better about Mail???
    Just wanted to get some opinions before really thinking about switching...
    Thanks.

    Something funny happened to me today. I setup Mail to POP my gmail account. It downloaded about 1.5 gigs of mail off there and during that time I was still using web access just fine. Then after a few hours I get an "unusual usage: lockdown in sector 4" message!!
    Our system indicates unusual usage of your account. In order to protect Gmail users from potentially harmful use of Gmail, this account has been disabled for up to 24 hours.

    Has anyone seen this?!?!

  • How can we say if Join better than using Sub Queries ??

    Hi all,
    I am trying to understand the rationale behind "Is _Inner Join_ better than using _Sub Query_ ?" for this scenario ...
    I have these tables --
    Table1 { *t1_Col_1* (PrimaryKey), t1_Col_2, t1_Col_3, t1_Col_4 }
    -- Number of rows = ~4Million , t1_Col_3 has say 60% entries non-zero -----> (Condition 4)
    Table2 { *t2_Col_1* (PK), t2_Col_2, t2_Col_3 }
    -- Number of rows = ~150Million, t2_Col_2 maps to t1_Col_1 -----> (Condition 1). This means for every distinct value of t1_Col_1 (its PK) we'll have multiple rows in Table2.
    Table3 { *t3_Col_1* (PK), t3_Col_2, t3_Col_3 }
    -- Number of rows = ~50K, t3_Col_1 maps to t1_Col_2 -----> (Condition 2)
    Table4 { *t4_Col_1* (PK), t4_Col_2, t4_Col_3 }
    -- Number of rows = ~1K, t4_Col_2 maps to t3_Col_2 -----> (Condition 3)
    Now here are the 2 queries: -
    Query using direct join --
    SELECT t1_Col_1, t2_Col_1, t3_Col_1, t4_Col_2
    FROM Table1, Table2, Table3, Table4
    WHERE t1_Col_1=t2_Col_2 -- Condition 1
    AND t1_Col_2=t3_Col_1 -- Condition 2
    AND t3_Col_2=t4_Col_1 -- Condition 3
    AND t1_Col_3 != 0
    Query using SubQuery --
    SELECT t1_Col_1, t2_Col_1, t3_Col_1, t4_Col_2
    FROM Table2,
    (SELECT t1_Col_1, t3_Col_1, t4_Col_2
    FROM Table1,Table3, Table4
    WHERE
    AND t1_Col_2=t3_Col_1 -- Condition 2
    AND t3_Col_2=t4_Col_1 -- Condition 3
    AND t1_Col_3!= 0
    WHERE t1_Col_1=t2_Col_2 -- Condition 1
    Now the golden question is - How can I document with evidence that Type-1 is better than Type-2 or the other way ? I think the 3 things in comparison are: -
    - Number of rows accessed (Type-1 better ?)
    - Memory/Bytes used (Again Type-1 better ?)
    - Cost ( ?? )
    (PS - testing on both MySQL, Oracle10g)
    Thanks,
    A

    So, is it right to conclude that Optimizer uses the optimal path and then processes the query resulting in nearly the same query execution time ?If the optimizer transforms two queries so that they end up the same, then they will run in the same time. Of course, sometimes it cannot do so because of the the way the data is defined (nulls are often a factor; constraints can help it) or the way the query is written, and sometimes it misses a possible optimization due to inaccurate statistics or other information not available to it, or limitations of the optimizer itself.
    Is this the right place to ask for MySQL optimization ?Probably not.

  • Nokia 5610 Firmare 6.60, how far better than Firmw...

    I know that Nokia takes its own sweet time to release firmware for any of their given phone models, typically 6 months or more.
    Considering the release time and the problems of restoring older firmware, how far the firmware v 06.60 is better than 4.81?
    Are the common problems like the one mentioned below, are solved? : -
    1. Phone restarting
    2. Jitter playback of video files of 30 fps. REMEMBER, the phone is incapable of playing video files smoothly, which are of 30 fps!
    3. Phone hanging
    Overall, what does firmware version v 06.60 offer? What good it does to the phone? If not good, What bad it does to the phone
    Is it recommended to existing phone owners to upgrade their phone firmware from 4.xx to 6.60?

    I didn't feel anything better or worse in v6.60.
    The major issue, hanging while playing music is still persist.

  • How can i prove rac on linux is better than on windows ?

    Hi all,
    Is there any document or any thread on this forum which will help me prove that RAC on linux is better than on windows. Actually i did not recommend to my management windows os for RAC, now the management wants the reason why did not recommend windows. I want some sort of proof or any document to prove my point. Please help ......

    > now the management wants the reason why did not recommend windows
    Then give them reasons. TCO. In-house experience and skills with Linux. Official support from vendors like Sun for Linux on their servers. Linux being used as the core development platform for Oracle. Linux proven as a cluster-based operating system - it leads the supercomputer/cluster market by a significant percentage.
    According to www.top500.org (listing the 500 fastest/biggest computers clusters on this planet)*:
    Operating System Family Top500
    Linux 85.20 %
    Mixed 6.80 %
    Unix      6.00 %
    Windows 1.20 %
    BSD Based 0.40 %
    Mac OS 0.40 %
    * (In other words, if Linux is good enough to run 85% of the world's fastest computers, it is more than good enough to run your company's RAC)
    There are numerous sound reasons for choosing Linux over Windows. But do not make performance claims that you cannot ever hope to backup with technical evidence.

  • What's better than Illustrator?

    I've been using Illustrator for many years and several versions.  My usage is nominal and occasional/once a week, and I don't get very sophisticated for my needs, so it has been OK so far. I do not do commercial work but know Ai is the "de-facto std".
    But I read this forum often and see many criticisms of Ai and I do have occasional issues with Illy with tools and UI....just not as easy or robust as it could/should be...cumbersome at times.
    I see JET and others here make great use of Illy but also criticize (justifiably) it for not being as good as other vector tools.
    I know there are competitors, Inkscape is free, others less costly than Illy; and seemingly better/easier/faster to use...at least for some things.
    So my question: What is better than Illustrator (I'm using CS5) and why? What can they do better than Ai?  Is it worth having a second program and learning (tho I suspect the learning curve should be easy as they do similar things but have different GUI).  Or replacing Illy with something?
    Pro's/Con's that would make one make the effort to try/use something else?  I don't even know what out there is better than Illy.  I've searched www and got a few hints but nothing very significant.
    Am I wasting my time looking?
    Your feedback welcomed to help me decide whether to explore/trial other programs.

    I see JET and others here...criticize (justifiably) it for not being as good as other vector tools.
    I can't speak for "and others", but since I'm the only one you mention by name:
    If you've already deemed the criticism justifiable, then you must already know what that criticism says. When I criticize Illustrator, I don't just say "Illustrator is crap" and leave it at that, unsupported. I'm careful to explain myself with facts pertinent to the context of the discussion. I actually own and know how to use the other programs to which I compare. I've often posted lists of comparitive features.
    I've always used my real name here and sign all my posts with my initials. So finding my comments is not difficult.
    I know there are competitors, Inkscape is free, others less costly than Illy; and seemingly better/easier/faster to use...at least for some things. So my question: What is better than Illustrator (I'm using CS5) and why? What can they do better than Ai?
    Didn't you just answer your own question? Other than the broadly general things you just mentioned, what program do you want to compare, and for doing what? Surely you're not asking someone to do an exhaustive feature-by-feature comparison between Illustrator and all similar programs in this one thread?
    All you've said about what you use Illustrator for is that your use is nominal, occasional, unsophisticated, and non-commerical. Mine isn't. Commerical graphics has been my livelihood for over 40 years. Vector-based illustration is both a speciality and a passion.
    I...knowAi is the "de-facto std"
    "Defacto standard" is self-fulfilling. It's effectively equivalent to saying "More people use Illustrator because more people use Illustrator."
    So what? More people ride Vespa scooters than KTM motorcycles. But which one would you call "professional quality"? You can use either one to pick up a gallon of orange juice at the corner store. But if you enter an enduro, the KTM will get the job done with alot less stress.
    The myth is that most software buyers choose the best. That's as naive as the faith that most voters do.
    Illustrator has been slothfully resting on its "defacto standard" haunches since the dark ages (AKA the 80s). "Defacto standard" be hanged.
    I do have occasional issues with Illy with tools and UI....just not as easy or robust as it could/should be...cumbersome at times.
    Okay. What issues? State something specific and users actually familiar with other programs can compare.
    This is the 21st century. There's really little new under the sun here. A 2D drawing program is just an interface pasted on top of mostly the same old geometric functionality. The competitive advantage goes to the offering that best (easy) and most fully (robust) empowers the user. The multiplication of easy and robust yields elegance. That's a term I've never applied to Illustrator. Illustrator is one of the oldest of the bunch, lounging under the sun for so long it's at risk of skin cancer. Yet it still fails to provide basic functionality users of other drawing programs have taken for granted for decades.
    Examples that may be germane to your casual, non-commerical use? Try these things in Illustrator:
    Star Tool: Draw a star. Now change the number of points it has.
    Arc Tool: Draw 36 degrees of a circular arc.
    Label that star with a dimension.
    Distribute a group of different objects along a curve.
    Uniformly space Blend steps along a non-uniform curve.
    Attach a Blend to a closed path and have the first/last instances properly positioned.
    Knife Tool: Cut across an open unfilled path.
    Connect a text label to an object that stays connected when you move it.
    Paste a simple graphic into a text string so that it flows with the text.
    Perform a Find/Replace on carriage returns.
    Round Corners: Apply it to an accute or obtuse angle and have it actually yield the radius you specify.
    Crop a raster image.
    Rotate something. Go back later and find out what its rotation angle is.
    Pathfinders: Use them without wrecking existing fills/strokes.
    I could go on (and have). How long a list do you want? All the features/functions associated with the above basic operations (and many more) are substandard, half-baked, or even non-existent in Illustrator. This is "professional"-grade software? No, it's largely consumerish rubbish sold at exhorbitant prices just because it's the "defacto standard."
    Is it worth having a second program and learning...
    Obviously, it is to me (and a third, and a fourth, and...). As I've said many times in this forum, I don't know how anyone can legitimately claim to compare two programs if they've only got workaday familiarity with one.
    As with any other endeavor, the more drawing programs you're comfortable with, the less arduous it is to pick up another, because you tend to pick up on the underlying principles involved, as opposed to just becomming habituated to a particular program's command locations and procedures by rote.
    But you've been using AI for "many years" and find it to be "OK". So if you're happy with it, use it.
    I have a cheap, consumerish Ryobi table saw and it's "OK." But I didn't pay a professional-grade price for it, either. And I'm sure not going to write glorious reviews on it, call it "professional," and get all fearfully brand-loyal defensive about it if someone dares suggest I might ought to learn to use a different one. My use of it, like yours, is merely occasional. But I also presently need to build a TV cabinet, and I'm dreading it. If I were to open a cabinet shop, I'd be much more discriminating, and would do my own homework to make an informed decision.
    Or replacing Illy with something?
    One doesn't have to "replace." There's nothing any more wrong with using more than one 2D drawing program than there is with using more than one 3D modeling program, or raster imaging program, or page layout program, or word processor, or video edting program, or....
    Pro's/Con's that would make one make the effort to try/use something else?
    That depends on what one is doing with it. Not knowing that, I can again only offer generalities that matter to me: If you've only ever used one program of a particulat kind, you're rather in the dark regarding functionality that you may be missing that may be important to you. (Second-degree ignorance: You don't know what you don't know.) If you're mission-dependent upon that one program, you're also kind of captive to the whims and agenda of its vendor.
    That very well may not matter to you, given your nominal, occasional, unsophisticated, and non-commerical use. And if so, that's fine.
    I don't even know what out there is better than Illy. I've searched www and got a few hints but nothing very significant.
    But you just said you've been reading a bunch of posts here which mention other programs.
    Am I wasting my time looking?
    Only you can answer that about your time. Time is all any of us have.
    Your feedback welcomed to help me decide whether to explore/trial other programs.
    No offense, but frankly it sounds like you're just not motivated enough to do your own homework. If you are  sufficiently motivated, visit the websites of other drawing program vendors. Read the features lists. Dowload the demos, read the documentation, and try them out. Visit the programs' user forums. Or, if it's really not that important to you, don't.
    If you've got questions about specific functionality and/or specific programs, be more specific about what you do (or want to do).

  • Something better than the 'shear' filter..

    Hi, I am looking for something better than this primitive 'shear' filter. I need to shape an image with the help of a curve, just like in shear, but more professional than just with a vertical line inside a teeny-weeny window... Any ideas..? Curently working in Photoshop CS3.

    How can I add more curve points in Warp..?
    Unfortunately one can not, therefore the Illustrator Envelope Distort-recommendation.
    CS5 is supposed to offer improvements in this field … but no release-date has been announced yet.

  • Why is LR5 catalog better than PSE 12 Organiser?

    Hi/
      I have started using a trial version of LR5.
    I have been a regular user of various versions of PSE over the years.
    Generally, I have been happy with the organiser, & have various tags nested in each-other.
    I have never had a problem with it being unstable, & can normally find what I am looking for,
    (provided that I have correctly tagged it in the first place :-)
    My first impression of the LR5 catalogue is that it is not as intuitive.
    I have searched on-line for how to set-up the catalogue & much of the discussion relates to how many catalogues to have. - I've already made that decision - Just the one:
    So?  What features am I missing in the LR5 catalogue that make it better than the Elements Organiser?
    What do you think?

    I am also a happy user of the Organizer, but I also use LR 4.4.
    What I find interesting in LR:
    - huge amount of possible customization and options (if you need them...)
    - Ability to manage jpegs just as raws (the organizer does not let you open jpegs in acr, )
    - Smart ways to manage variants without copying files (virtual copies)
    - More advanced metadata management
    - possibility to merge catalogs
    - Much more support by Adobe and user forums
    - More advanced options in output in the latest versions
    What can be debated is the difficulty of the learning curve as well as the 'robustness' of the software. The organizer was plagued with many bugs (it was already there many years before LR.) The problem is that having many more options makes LR much more complex. For instance the database has three times the number of tables. The result is that the LR forums are full of complaints about bugs or missing features... just because it is too rich and tries to satisfy everybody's needs.
    Many cases of problems with the Organizer are related to the backup function which backs up both pictures and catalogs. Lr only backup catalogs. Backing up pictures is your responsability. If you have problems, it's not LR's fault, it's yours .
    I can't find a post I made to show the possible advantages of the organizer, but that was just for the fun.

  • Iphone "better" than any Nokia?

    Well, it is not an easy subject since there are many "religious" Nokia fans on this forum. The information I will give is objective, and based on my experienced with both brands. First of all, the simplity of Iphones compared to symbian and windows mobile (is also a HTC user), are like 2 different worlds. In USA, Africa and other contries, the inhabitants are analphabets. Iphone is genious since it only have 1 button (the on/ plus volume is extra). it has extremely self explained symbols on the screen. That make it easy to use both for ordinary analphabets, but also for "technical" analphabets. The second is that you easely can change many language and tastateur input. If you choose chinese you can also chose to "draw" the chinese letters on the screen!!!
    Symbian and windows mobile are to difficult to use. I see other places in this forum that the discussion is about if Iphone is a smartphone or not! What a waste of time! I also have a N97 that stopped to work after one week. The display got extremely hot (almost fire). The tastateur can be used, but N97 is badly constructed! I can not get acess to all symbols on the tastateur, I need to have the display. So, is Nokia still your favourite?

    Iphone "better" than any Nokia? ur title really took me off, Its really a big bold statement u get fascinated towards a mobile phone which is good in "technical" analphabets" not technically good 
    Iphone is Locked towards a Single provider who doesn't allow the Phone to tether with the computer and not allows u to send a MMS, well Iphone got the Features finally i am talking about but how to explore it real Bummer
    People say Jailbreak ur Iphone u will come to know what it is capable of doing, last thing i want to do after buying a costly "wood"  is to Jailbreak it to know what it can offer to me another Bummer
    Ur daughter's Nokia mobile was soaped for 45 mins after which u took it and opened it cleaned and made it to run again first u will void ur cell phone's warranty and can u do the same to ur Iphone
    I see other places in this forum that the discussion is about if Iphone is a smartphone or not! What a waste of time! I also have a N97 that stopped to work after one week. The display got extremely hot (almost fire). The tastateur can be used, but N97 is badly constructed! I can not get acess to all symbols on the tastateur, I need to have the display. So, is Nokia still your favourite?
    N97 is badly constructed, there are lot of N97 buyers who purchased for it solid,Robust design and found it to be great there was not even a single complaint that the Build quality was not Satisfying or clunky
    Sorry for ur display becoming Hot could be a hardware defect which neeeds to be checked and inspected in a Nokia care center or u can ask for a replacement
    Rest of what an iphone cannot do for a basic user who wants his mobile to do such basic things was justified by Grschinon very well
    At last YES Nokia is my favourite for lot of reasons

  • Why is illustrator better than corel?

    hello forumers.
    im an illustrator freak,but my annoying boss wants me to learn corel ;-( ,i need some facts why illustrator is better than corel so i can shove his face in it if possible.
    VIVA illi
    thank you very much.

    Do not, I repeat do not, ask James or Scott or Hans.
    Indeed.
    Only ask Jacob, who is still using a four-version out-of-date copy of Illustrator and who tries to personify it as a female idol.
    If the comparison is to be "fair" (which it clearly will not be, at least from your perspective), it should compare Corel Draw X4 to Illustrator CS3 or CS4. Release dates being what they were, X4 would more legitimately be considered Draw's answer to CS3; since it long predates CS4.
    Talking about earlier versions of either program is not very meaningful, except in the sense of history of development. When I compare the release histories of Draw, FreeHand, Canvas, and Illustrator, Illustrator comes in an often-embarrassing last in terms of features long taken-for-granted in other programs.
    im an illustrator freak,but my annoying boss wants me to learn corel...i need some facts [that] I can shove his face..
    Shove in your boss's face? For presenting you an opportunity to escape fearful dependency upon a single software?
    i need the pros and cons...to outline to him why illustrator is better...
    Why don't you simply welcome this opportunity to actually know something about that which you claim a completely bogus "preference"?
    Were you at all interested in gaining input that would help you help your boss reach a rational and objective decision, you would at least describe something about the kind of work your boss pays you to do. What kind of business employs you? Is the Macintosh platform even relevant to your boss's business market? How large a workgroup is affected by the software choice? What kind of artwork does that workgroup produce? How is it delivered? What are its initial content sources? Who are the end-users of the artwork? In how many different ways is it delivered, and in what formats?
    Yet here you are, soliciting predisposed "why Illustrator is 'better' than Draw" advice from a handful of users who, so far, admit themselves having either no, or practically no, experience with Draw! If that's not blind-leading-the-blind, I don't know what is.
    You are by admission predisposed toward Illustrator, even though you are not at all equipped to say why. Reason is pointless with so irrational a mindset. Since no one responding yet seems to actually know anything about Draw, I will instead offer some ammunition I hope your boss uses to see if you are even objective enough to consider it.
    The following is a just-off-the-top list. Should you actually try to counter it, you should be prepared for more:
    General:
    Lower cost, both initially and in upgrades
    Better support for non-current versions
    Faster performance
    Better support for several vertical-market industries (signage, embroidery, engineering-related)

    Shared Features Better Implemented in Draw:
    Mesh Grads
    Dynamic Guides (with increment snaps)
    Independent control over Snaps for Guides, Grid, Objects, Dynamic Grids

    Old-Saw Arguements Based on Overstatement, if not Myths:
    Adobe's cross-app "integration" is more hype than substantive advantage.
    Illustrator's text handing is worst among Adobe apps and worst-of-class among its direct competitors.
    Draw opens and creates PDFs just fine.
    Claims of AI superiority regarding importing of raster images is practically immaterial. In fact, Corel Draw's interaction with Corel PhotoPaint is at least as "smooth and seamless" as AI/PS, if not more so.
    Using vector artwork created in Draw (or any other mainstream Bezier drawing program) in page-layout programs is no more difficult than using AI. This stuff has been being done for decades.
    Again, this is just a beginning. You do yourself a huge disservice by declaring (let alone attempting to defend) a "preference" to the only choice with which you have experience (and evidently only beginning experience at that). That's true regardless of which program you claim to "favor." How can one, with any trace of intellectual honesty, claim to have a "favorite" of anything--when one has no exposure to any of the considered alternatives?
    Since you already have Illustrator, you should absolutely welcome your Boss's willingness to provide you a current copy of Corel Draw. Here's an opportunity for you--at no personal cost--to actually learn something about another program; to potentially have some clue as to what you're talking about when you claim to "prefer" one over the other; to benefit from knowing more than one particular tool, and to overcome the fear of learning your way around more than one offering among similar programs. For all you know, you may be arguing against the program you would actually end up preferring.
    I could also build a bullet list of better-than-Draw AI features. It would not be as long as its opposite. Nor would the AI-favoring listings be as broadly practical.
    Fact is, anyone can build a bullet list to favor any of them. (Just look at the sides of the boxes, or each vendor's self-serving "competitive comparisons" on their respective websites.) Fact is, all of them are really rather mediocre; mostly 20+ years-old technology.
    You really should have no axe to grind in this, unless you can state something specific to your work that strongly favors the relatively few functional advantages of AI.
