Yes. It will work with any micro-USB charger. It's standard!

So call it maemo6 instead, saves you a ton of time. also: how is the n9 not an n8 successor with maemo6/meego harmattan?

N9 camera < N8 camera

N9 video codec support < N8 video codec support

No USB-OTG

No HDMI-Out

So by that standard the N95 had no successors since the camera of the following model wasnt as good?

BTW, and Im seriously asking sincerely; isnt codec support something that can be added? Or is that limited by hw?

For me, none of those things made a huge impact. Except the camera. Man the N8 has some camera on it... I used it over my SGS2 during my roadtrip in Europe this summer, and the results are spectacular.

However the HDMI out Ive used... twice. USBOTG Ive used a few times, but thats completely replaced by Dropbox for me personally. Unless youre a secret agent that recieves memory sticks with the correct format from informants during sleight-of-hand-passbys, Im assuming USBOTG is more novel than practical?

Iunno. Maybe.

Yes - that's what I've been using since the N9 arrived (the Danish plug doesn't really fit the US socket) :p

Oh, also I just installed Opera Mobile 11, and it doesnt have a Desktop user agent, which makes me super sad :(

I'm not suggesting that the N9 is an inferior device to the N8 (effing Symbian :mad: ). I'm just pointing out that those are the areas where the N9 is lacking compared to the N8. An N8 user that values those features will not see the N9 as an upgrade. Nokia always seem to intentionally gimp their devices by holding back some features that are present on an existing device, probably for fear of harming the sales of said device. There are no good technical reasons why the N9 could not have had those features, except perhaps the camera, which would probably have been tricky to fit into the plastic :p , erm polycarbonate body.
