Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!
Ok, so I just finished reading all 26 pages, and I just want to know (maybe I missed it), but is there any answers/updates to the following questions:

what exactly does Bluetooth 4.0 bring to the table that's currently being utilized by the N9 - and it is confirmed that it's BT4, right?

I also find it very strange that a software upgrade can boost BT2.1 to BT4.0... Any documentation on this? Also, if it only a pure rumor that BT4.0 can support payment a-la NFC?

(so will need to wait till Monday I guess) He's going to check if it is supposed to be able to handle Main profile H264. (High profile is a definite no go I believe) But he said he is sure that N9 supports 720p H264 Base profile.

720 MKV files are very important to me, thats pretty much my main format used for videos. Has your friend confirmed any of this? Could it be achievable thru custom kernels or software upgrade in the future? Or is the hardware really crippled to that point...

Hi to all Linux & Maemo Wizardes

To be honest, N900 was my first Linux encounter, <snip>
N9 is not a cheap device, and honestly I lost my trust in Nokia in general, but I always trusted the developers community, <snip> is it Worth the Money ?

Mind that my opinion is not an expert at all, N900 was also my first Linux encounter, fell in love with it, made me install Ubuntu on my PC, and I just love the Maemo Community... But as far as answering your question... I think the only answer that has been given is, if you have the money to spare, then go ahead and buy the N9. If you will have to struggle, save up for it, then I imagine it is not really that worth it... But since I'm hard-headed, I'm gonna go ahead and struggle for 2 weeks by spending an entire paycheck on a phone, because my N900 is really starting to let me down (I can't even reflash it...), I refuse to go do the Android road, iOS is a joke to me, and I have no business with BB so not interested. By the time Nokia actually releases WP7, I could probably afford to buy one if it comes to be more interesting than the N9 (which I really hope not...) |
