Reason for this question is that my company won't let it connect to MfE anymore :-(

Could someone PLEASE try and connect their N9 to their PC with a USB cable to test if it will sync mail and calendar from Outlook that way?

Free beer for the first one to answer this :):):):)

Ok more stupid questions.
N9 is in developer mode, utilities installed and 3rd party app installation on.

I would think extra-dev etc are live? How to access them on N9?

if you mean the repos then no not yet. don't have time now to link it but there's a thread on meego forum about app.freemeego or something like that. they'll be making an app you download to access the repos gui and cli.

Okay going to update the OP soon, been very busy lately, sorry
How do you folks want me to summarise all the findings so far?
And what do you want me to prioritise above all else?

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!
 
i actually didnt realise the Event screen doesnt pop up with any calender events..
this now makes me quite upset at the device.. hrmm

and yeh, if i could update my status via the events page would be good (otherwise, the events page is no use.. id rather go to the app and look at the fb and twitter feeds so that i can interact and update my own status)



Is there anyway to change the 'weather' on the events page to pick up Meecast rather than Accuweather?

What sort of practical uses are there for NFC, particularly in Australia? No other phones around have it so I find little ways to actually take advantage of it, other than tapping it to my mastercard just for s&g's...

By telling them it isn't an iPhone. When any product becomes as ubiquitous as the iPhone, people start to want something different. The iPhone is no longer a status symbol, so anyone wanting to look cool will have to find something else.

Since you ask:
kindly focus on all current and upcoming findings that help to get a clean device first (removing spyware, logging, phone home) and add privacy protection / advertisement blocking.

Thanks :)

Yesterday I unlock 5 levels of Angry Birds Magic with the student ID card of a friend :p

Not sure if this a practical use, though... :D
