Clear Black is not Super AMOLED. These two could not be more different, even if they produce similar results.

Oh, I love my N9 Sir!
Got all the three... and awaiting the 'white'. As the game of things look like - the N9 shall soon be relegated to being 'collector's item' & I seriously want them to hold for good! This is a fantabulous device - and our future generations should know/understand what they missed-out on, courtesy the lopsided-dimwit Elop!

I ranted on the Lumia 900 for the simple reason that it brought forward this awesome design marvel of the N9 to the WORLD. At least now they'd get to know what a state-of-the-art eqpt. the trio's elder brother - the N9 felt like.

I supported Windows, Linux, Unix, Novell & Apple, etc in large corporate networks for years. I pretty much like every OS except Windows, which I hate passionately.

I hate Windows because of its registry, c:\, next-next-dummy-finish, virus, IE, $$, Outlook, reinstall every 5 months, constant update and restart, blue screen of death, single vendor, etc, etc, etc. I can list 1000 other reasons. And don't forget it is from Micro$oft.

I am tired. I don't want to see Windows on my Desktop. I changed my career because I got tired of doing stupid things everyday and becoming more stupid every day supporting Windows. Why in the world would I get excited with Windows on a phone, which is more personal than a desktop.

The WP7 interface is not attractive as far as I am concerned. The large fonts for certain things, sometimes only part of the word showing up. The square buttons - thought they say they are active - who cares.

N9 - though the hardware is beautiful, it is the OS that makes me happy. I am pretty much sure N9 will be my last Nokia.

This section is for N9 and N950 only. Please don't infect this with Windows crap. You can submit it in competitors section.

Is it really as sophisticated as the N9's NFC support, WP doesn't have the right kind of support?
There is nothing sophisticated about the kind of NFC support the N9 has. On the contrary, it is quite basic (no SWP).

RGB AMOLED (E7, i8910, SGSII, 900, N85 et al.)
PenTile AMOLED (Nexus One, SGS, N9, RAZR et al.)

"Super" stands for the gimmick that it has the touch sensor integrated
"CBD" stands for a polarizer filter on top of it (Nokia only, samsung also have polarizers but don't advertise it)
"Plus" stands for non-PenTile (Samsung only - Nokia also has RGB Stripe screens but they don't advertize it)

98% of AMOLED Screens are made by Samsung according to wikipedia, so probably Nokia and Samsung screens are the same.

The deciding factor is probably the subpixel size. They start from what res and size they want and if it fits they go for RGB, else they go for PenTile. I expect Samsung to keep the higher res RGB screens for themselves for some months before licensing them to others, so that it helps them achieve World Domination™
All the mobile AMOLED screens are pretty much Samsung screens indeed. Though S AMOLED and Clear Black Display are not the same.
Samsung provides the screen, Nokia attaches the layer with polarized filter.
That's my understanding.

interestingly enough, it doesn't support the 1700 band, and no NFC and storage capacity is capped at 16GB. i'll take an N9 any day over that bollocks.

I don't know if I made it clear enough but I never intended to say that cbd and SAMOLED is the same thing.

Windows Phone might be good for a tablet because of all the MS Office compatibility and alike s*it to make office work easier, but for a phone? I am not so sure.

N9 rocks because it sports MeeGO, and is actually more expensive in Europe than Lumia 800. Hmm.... If I had to choose again between N9 and both Lumia, I'd take N9 once again.

Good to know Nokia gained some impetus lately, though. Apple's overwhelming commercial bulls*it is really tiring.

BTW, looking forward to that Nokia Tablet running WP that's supposed to be released in the summer. I hope Nokia keeps the N9/Lumia's design. If it does I am pretty sure to get one.

I know there's no SWP (there may be a possible hw workaround, but that's another chat).
I was referring to the fact that I'm not aware of Mango supporting NFC period, nor Tango.

Aside from secure transactions....
What are the NFC features the N9's missing, that make it's NFC support basic compared to others?
There are other handy uses for NFC as far as I'm aware (secure transactions is the killer app IMO though).
