Nokia E5 breaks world multitasking record!

4 Sep

You might recall Samsung i8910 breaking world multitasking record back in April. But that was modded one, running custom firmware. When Nokia E5 came to my office I didn’t know what a performance demon it was until I installed Handy Taskman on it. What I saw was groundbreaking. Check this out:

167mb of free RAM! That’s geektastic! Now I can really see that Nokia is learning on it’s own mistakes (ridiculous amount of RAM in N97). Thumbs up, Espoo guys!

Coming to the conclusion, I think we’ve got a new world record! E5 managed to run 74 apps in the same time, surpassing Samsung’s record by 12 apps! That’s a serious multitasking demon! There’s a little issue after all. After running all those applications, when it finally showed ‘out of memory’ message, there was still 86mb of free RAM! I’m pretty sure that’s just a firmware related bug, and when it get solved in the future E5 will be able to run even more apps!

I made a little video to prove it. Enjoy!
