n950 dev device. not n9, but a comparable firmware.
When it comes to Exchange, email, and other software, indistinguishable from the n9.

Anyway, that wasn't my point. My point was that the N9 runs Harmattan, Maemo 6 essentially, whatever happens to MeeGo is irrelevant wrt the N9.
You're absolutely correct about Meego/Tizen (as it resides with LF and Intel) having little to do with Harmattan, however you could have posted the last line of your comment without the FUD and very much incorrect information about Tizen and Meego.

can anyone with a n9 start checking out wired headset compatibility, because as a normal user who loves the dev talk but doesnt understand any of it, thats one of my biggest complaints against my beloved n900... and i WILL find a way to get one stateside!!!:D

Glad to hear some positive reviews on the N9. I'd really like to hear more, since the odds of me seeing one state side are slim. (And the odds of one being available to play with at a given store being 0.)
nonono no more good reviews it may hurt Elops strategy!!!

I had to add an extra repository, and upgrade my browser to meet package requirements, but that's expected.

I'm also all for open standards, but I'm not going to limit myself to things that are strictly open, or use a crappy replacement/wanna-be just because it's more open. If I did that, I wouldn't have gotten an N900, since it's far more closed than the FreeRunner I already had. Except the FreeRunner couldn't actually do things reliably, like get calls, or run on it's battery for more than 8 hours.

I'm all about improving the world of opensource, and using it where it's feasible. But I also live in the real world, where sometimes closed is the only viable option to get a task done.
again there IS open alternatives instead of flash and flash often crash/hangs firefox on my linuxboxes and eating cpu.

I am not a fanatic opennsource guru and knows very well that not all can be open but in case of flash there is alternatives.

let that peace of **** die...

By pure specs, not much different from iphone 4, except for more advanced, class 32 GPRS and EDGE versus class 10 in iphone.

It means superior reception and data transfer with N9

hotnikkelz 2011-10-01 04:00
Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 
superior reception and data transfer IF you're on EDGE or GPRS? or is it across the board like WIFI, 3G etc?

Unfortunately, it turns out the player is NOT gapless, according to the video posted in this thread (you can see the 1 sec gap between tracks late in the video)

I'm almost thankful for this cuz it will spare me the agony of wanting to get my hands on an N9 as much as before. Still baffling when any highend smart phone doesn't include this nowadays.

I do hope you dont mean the chinese KIRFs. Maybe those were the ones u saw too. The 15 lined ones, i mean. That would also explain the version $crew-up. U sure it wasnt 'Meego-Hermit 1.1' :D

It seems to me that N9 owners are very few. I guess no one has one yet. Bummer

There are a few that have it. Do you NOT read the N9/N950 forum at all?

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...34#post1100634

Lindegaard in that thread, for instance.

Hehe well I know what its like. If someone said "tell us about the SGS2!" with no specific questions, what am I going to say? "its got a notification bar"?

Ask the guy a few questions, Im sure hell answer anything you might wonder about :) .

My thoughts on the N9:
http://peakmob.blogspot.com/2011/10/...n9-review.html

Is it a N900 successor? No.
Is it an iPhone killer? Yes.

N9 owner for a little less than a week now. Overarching impression: it's not perfect, but I think it's the closest damn thing to perfection I've ever held in my hand - and that includes the N900, which was my previous (and much beloved) phone. That does not of course mean that the N9 is better than the N900 in every aspect.

No other phone I've had a chance to play with comes close for me atm. Can't believe it is the last of its line.

Some reviews mention lagging and freezing issues. Did you notice that with your phone?

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 
well i dont own one yet, but i did manage to have a play on one in a shop for about 30 mins.
its fast, no doubt about that. its very smooth, its bright. the unit itself is very slim and sleek. you want to own it just looking at it.

didnt like the browser for some reason... it was fast and html5. didnt feel right or give me enough options ? not sure. it worked well.

contact list is quirky. its more similar to android/ios than maemo which i really like.

didnt like the non landscape mode on most of the built in apps.

didnt like how it handled the app screen where it was the only place you could close a running app, and only after a hold down to bring up the close gadgets on each app. this seems confusingly illogical as it should already be there on that screen like the n900 where you can close any app at any time.

adjusting settings.. there is plenty of those in there but its too iphone/android feeling now.

although i hate touch screen typing, it was very accurate and gave feedback which helped. promising, but i still want a keyboard.

want to know the battery life on it...

now all im waiting to do is for it to come down in price a little. importers and ebay are making a right joke of the price

FYI, you can enable in settings, a swype from the top downwards, closes an app. No need to go into the task manager.

I've not noticed lagging or freezing on my phone - other than with an early version of cuteTube.

I uninstalled that, replaced it with the paid version. It now runs as smooth as glass.

The battery life seems to be improving (I got the phone late Monday). On Thursday I ran through the entire day and ended with over 30% battery left. I was offline from my usual IM sites and had increased the interval for email checking (between 8 and 6) because I was at a developer phone camp (at Nokia in Sunnyvale, CA - but run by Microsoft).

It was fun having the N9 there - I had the best looking phone in the room. I had my HTC HD7 with me too - didn't want to annoy the presenters too much :p

And how are the photo's compared to N900? I read that the iPhone 4s takes better photo's , which would be a shame.

There's about 7-8 long reviews of N9, ever one of those have gallery of N9 pictures.

N9 seems to take great daylight photos, but struggle in low light surrounding compared to some other good camera phones.

yeah I know these reviews. But I wanted to see side-by-side photo review of n900 vs N9.

Regarding lag, it exists but it's far from intolerable imo. Things are usually _very_ fluid but if you have enough things syncing in the background at a time the animations may lose their usual buttery smoothness. Basically the phone isn't completely lag-free so if you're coming in from a top-of-the-line high-spec previous phone this might be an issue for you. If you're coming from something like the N900 or some other dated and/or midrange phone though, you'll feel like you're flying ;)

About freezing I've already encountered it twice but under what I consider reasonable circumstances: once right after I installed and ran an app from my ISP, and another once when I was messing around with apps and developer mode stuff. I like picking my things apart, but "normal" operations, in my experience so far, have been perfectly fine and flawless.

So how many applications can you run before you start seeing slow down. Is it ok to keep say calendar, browser, email , messaging, text edit app open all the time?

In my experience its not the number of open applications that matters, unless you're running high-CPU games and such. It has more to do with background syncing. Since the N9 has pretty good battery life, I have 3 mail accounts + twitter + facebook + gcal syncing all through the day. I suspect that when I schedule everything hourly they all happily start syncing at the same time instead of staggering it, so while that is happening in the background I'd see lagging animations, and when it's done I'd be back to smoothness - with the same number of apps running.

I usually only keep 3 apps open through the day (calendar, checklist, music player), but I've had short periods with 6-7 apps open with everything running comfortably.
