If you use gmail, then it's your machine again! Because all the other accounts that I've tried DO NOT work...

:mad:

And now for a slightly differing experience.

I've had my N9 since November and I have only had to reboot it once, and that was not because of 3G

And it works fine with hotmail, my btinternet mail account and with Exchange

I have cut up 3 SIM cards (instructions from google) to microsim, all work fine, and all work ok in a self made converted back to miniSIM (= standard/regular SIM) format. (Full size SIM is credit card, the card one usually has to break the SIM out of before sticking it in a phone.)

I don't know what triggers it, but it's not a problem for all people, just some. You got unlucky. I would still like to know if my fix works for you, btw.

ArTee,

Thanks for your help!!!!!!

Actually I didn't need to try your fix. I simply changed the settings to "connected on background" and to my surprise it's okay!!!!!

Still, I'll activate Developer's mode and I'll be more than pleased to post any possible errors I might have!

:)

N9 web browser still doesn't have flash?

Re: Should i buy a N9 ?

Well, I think you should wait until we see if they are going to release a final and successful version of NITDroid then you should buy it, I l♥ve my N9 but there is a slow death in MeeGo Harmattan right now because Nokia left it at its own and now Jolla MIGHT support Nokia N9 so right now it is in dying stage..

You have to use Firefox to use flash. There is a version for the N9. Since adobe is abandoning flash, I don't think it has a lot of pull now.

In my experience the N9 is getting better and better regardless of what Nokia does. It will not die as long as there's a community.

Re: Should i buy a N9 ?

I would buy N9 if you need a simple phone to carry around and rely on skype, gtalk IM connectivity. It's not as fluid as WP7 phone an does bizarre things from time to time
