Kinda bored with that whole deal :o

Same here, events view is completely empty (I don't want to see facebook updates every time I swipe there, also not in a hurry to read RSS feeds as they get updated).

What I'd like to see is the calendar integrating with the events view. Upcoming appointments for the next 7 days for instance. That would be very useful, at least for me.

I agree, calendar should definitely show upcoming appointments, at least for the current day or current+following day.

Tried out the navigation bit today and this is what i think, based on comparing to maps on the N900 and 5800.
The focus here is how easy it is to use for getting to point B



Pros:
- Can actually be used for navigation (unlike N900)
- Drive UI is better for use while driving than on 5800
- Several voices in different languages to choose from
- Search is way better that on N900 and 5800, result as you type
- Integration with contacs is sweet when you've entered an address for your contact.
- Preinstall maps (optional I think)
- Free (as in beer)
- Feels faster than on N900 and 5800 (no measurement done)


Cons:
- Favorites from "Maps" don't show up in drive to be selected as destination.
- No speed limit warning (missing feature compared to 5800)
- No speed camera warning (missing feature compared to 5800)
- No "I need gas within 20km, plot the shortest possible detour" button, (why does no Navi solution have this? it seems so obvious)
- Not possible to uninstall individual maps, you need to uninstall them all and then reinstall the ones you want, or update only the ones you want to keep (only possible when an update is available)
- No "report map error" function

Otherwise system-wide (regular text fields), just not in browser.

Since N9 was meant for the average Joe, how would you pitch to an iPhone or android user?

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!
 
I'm having a big problem right now...after updating some apps, my home screen (apps screen) is left with just about 10 shortcuts. None of them is system related...so right now I'm banging my head how to get to the settings page and do a reset.

What I've tried so far:
- "*#7370#" not working on MeeGo
- downloaded firmware with Navifirm and tried to flash it with Phoenix. The device goes into Test Mode and when it's about to start flashing it gives an error ("MCUSW flashing failed. Exiting...").

I have a file manager installed and I can access it.

Does anyone know if I can launch the settings app?

LE: I think I have a solution for my problem, but still need your help.

I'm gonna try to restore a back-up file. The problem is, I have no back-up file...

Can anyone send me a backup file done after a clean device reset? I think this might just work...

So.. is this really a bug or it is just a feature of N9 (the linkage of 2 settings... or are they even the same setting that just happens to appear in both panes?)?

You can go to Setting>Internet Connection>Edit Network. Here you can select whether N9 automatically connects to a network without asking your for permission.

See if your mobile network is under "Automatically used networks," if it does, click the network and disable "Use automatically."
