N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Enough with playing footsie, its time for people who have N9 to step up and write their personal reviews and experiences. Lets hear it from all the lucky ones who have the best phone in the world.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

But your telling everyone the iphone is the best phone in the world so make your mind up :confused:

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

N9 is what an iphone should have been. iphone is my dumbphone, does what is needed on a daily basis

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Best but fastest abandoned phone in the world! >.< cancelled my order just yesterday thanks to tizen. I just wished n9 got the support like iphone and it would have been a great success :(

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

The first two posters are the two renowned for being the biggest *******s on the forum. Some even call you two borderline crazy. Not me, I don't particularly care for your antics.

Regardless, you won't get many (if any) replies in here, and even if you do, they'll likely be heavily biased. Should have probably waited a week or two, then asked people on the street. Would have had more truthful responses.

Early Adopter + Forum heavily related to the device != legitimate reviews.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

? dont be so disrespectful. if you dont have N9 stop trolling

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

People on the street have seemingly got more sense than most on here ;) at least they go with the flow and venture out on devices that work :p.

Anything to do with this N9 is a joke anyhow so we might as well have a thread for laughter like this one :D.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

I have an N950, I think I have some input concerning the subject.

it's no wonder why developers don't come round here anymore...

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

But, but... it just works.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

This is going to be a BRILLIANT thread for sure :D :D :D

Long live the pessimists ;).

OK N9 bring it on lets see just what your capable of :rolleyes:.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

This made me laugh. you got a phone that is DEAD and not even available to the general public so please get a life and talk about something worth at least talking about, my god it will NEVER get support from anywhere.

Good job you got it for free eh ;).

As much as meego is dead now at least the N9 out performs the N950 even before release :rolleyes: so really what have you got to bragg about??????...... a DEAD device???????.

Dead devices belong with dead end people and your one of them :D.

Do me a favour eh. :rolleyes:

Oh and your comment "it's no wonder why developers don't come round here anymore..." a very easy one to answer. developers do not stay with dead end platforms, they would never earn anything at all !! they do what you lot should do and move on !. ;)

WOW your posts are great for tearing apart :D.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

I now see why people have you on their ignore lists. Reported for personal attack.

Right, it's going to be one of those days. I'll begin by stating that BigBadGuber implied that only people with N9 experience can reply to this thread. I believe that the devices are similar enough for me to warrant my opinion valid in terms of OS experience.

Logical fallacy of the greatest example the fallacies are based upon.

I refuse to reply to your next post, regardless of what it is. I would rather not pollute this forum further with your repeated babbling.

Please grow up, Abill, it's all the forum members want.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Ok, someone's going off the chart on my lunacy-meter today.

Let's not drag anyone else down, or let yourself be dragged down by obvious nonsense.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

On a serious note, I'd like to know how the n9 is with carrier customization.

As far as I know, carriers were never able to screw up the firmware of the n900, or even lock the phone. Is that also true for the n9?

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

I have NO WAY attacked you, all i did was point out facts and if i had the N950 i would also be a dead end person too !!!.

I speak my mind and you did not like the fact i pointed out some differences between something that has actually got support to something that has not.

Just because i do not agree with your statements does not make me an attacker, that is crazy thing to say.

When developers dissapear they have logic behind that and you telling everyone it is MY fault they have left this forum? what is that if it is not an attack????.

Maemo.org has to come to an end as it currently is for obvious reasons, the development has ceased from every company that supported Maemo.

The N9 clearly has no company supporting it now including it's manufacturer and that means it is a dead end device.

But i still want to see what it is capable of from the people who will buy it and the reason for this thread i might tell you NOT for the N950 !!!.

Come on Reffyyyy join in and give us some of your views ;).

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

it simply works bud. where are the mexicans

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

give us your input then. we want a thread where buyers can make a rational decision if N9 is for them

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

This is probably not the right thread to get my question answered :(

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

I woulf like to know it too

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

doesnt look like anyone has N9 yet....

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Here's my take based on the n950 I have:

Even with the Beta1 firmware, the n950 was my primary phone within 10 minutes of use. It just worked perfectly as a phone.

email: imap, pop, exchange all worked with minimal and extremely simple setup. Sync happens smoothly, does not interrupt the bluetooth connection or phone conversation. This was one of my major peeves with the n900.
Bluetooth connection to my Jabra halo and the panasonic headset worked perfectly.
Tethering a laptop across bt was quick and simple enough for even an inexperienced user to easily manage.

Browsing: the default browser was fast but did not support flash. it crashed on ssl pages sometimes. With Beta2, all crashes were gone, though some pages still couldn't be rendered. Curiously enough, these pages didn't render well in desktop chrome either. I didn't bother to investigate further.

Software keyboard: Wow. So much better. Within a day I could see why Nokia decided that for most normal cases the N9 doesn't need a physical keyboard. It's such a pleasant change from the n900.
On the n900, my default action to do *anything* on the device was to slide out the keyboard.
On the n950, I've often forgotten that the thing actually has a keyboard.
I realized this when I switched back to the n900 (for development) and noticed myself always opening the hardware keyboard rather than use the software one.
Also: auto-correction is present and is less irritating than the n900. On the n900, if I miss-spell something, the software input panel (sip) would auto-magically remember that misspelled word. Eventually bad spellings crept into the dictionary and that was frustrating.
In the n950, the user needs to actually click the miss-spelled word and chose to add it to the dictionary - just like any decent word processing software. So much better that way.

SIP, skype and jabber (gtalk/facebook) are built in. Facebook and Twitter clients are built in.
From what I've heard, MMS is built in. I've not bothered to try it out - no one I know uses MMS.

All apps are much more responsive. My Qt apps load much faster.

The inbuilt camera app is good for quick snaps and videos, and also has enough knobs to take really professional looking photos.

Battery life: Consistent skype traffic for about 4 hours brought the battery to about 20%
On the other side of the spectrum, I've managed to forget to charge the n950 for about 2 days and it was still alive.

Sorely missed: macuco2, firefox, opera and so on. I want more browsers dammit! But thats probably just me.
Also missed: openvpn, vnc client, rdp client. With these, I'd be able to completely stop using the n900.

The inbuilt terminal is surprisingly good - and even there I have often preferred the software keyboard over the hardware keyboard.

Anything else you want to know?

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Forgot to add: According to the few people I know who have used a n950 and an n9, the n9 has a firmware better than the Beta2 I have on my n950.
Also, the one friend I know in Nokia claims that the form factor of the n9 is much better than the n950. He was surprised that I had the n950 and told me that the n9 is better.
When I mentioned that it's never going to be available in the US, he shrugged and said "Amazon, maybe?". He didn't elaborate, I didn't pry.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Probably a lot slower than it is without, no doubt.

Vodafone did try. They had their own product numbers which blocked firmware updates via Nokia Updater.
Resulted in a big slanging match on the Voda eForum, with Voda coming back with all sorts of weak excuses why we couldn't have the updates. So the majority of users voided their Voda warranties, which were deemed worthless anyway. I don't think the N9 will have a plan B for updates like the N900 did, probably all taken care of.

Not that I'm interested in how the N9 performs, (unavailable and too damn expensive and short lived to be of any use) being the main reasons why.
None of the manufacturers have come up with anything to tempt me away from my N900 yet.

Unofficial but 100% working Opera Mobile 11 is available:

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

I am waiting for amazon to sell N9. Not sure I trust other vendors.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

It's probably best to ask Nokia directly about that one. Sim lock seems to be possible, but I'm not sure about firmware branding. I personally wouldn't go near an N9 that had either of these, given that it's one-off device.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Wow, what a bunch of blatant copyright violations!

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Looking at the comparison between N9 and iphone 4, the only difference appears to be in the GPRS class, 33 for N9, 10 for iphone 4. The specs are otherwise very similar.

N9 has no radio and it has Java ? Is it true?

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

For general browsing, I've been using Fennec exclusively for a few months now. Major points:

• fast
• bookmarking
• loads new tabs in background

I'm not sure what Nokia was thinking with the default Harmattan browser; maybe they've been working with the Fennec guys, because for general browsing it's that good. But as of my last build (July?), local chrome .css files were not supported. :(

See this thread and this link for more details.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

flash? :/

[too short]

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Telenor has secured the sole right to sell the N9 in Norway for the rest of the year. It appears as SIM locked in their webshop. BTW: They are marketing it heavily on the web.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

ROTFL!!! you must be joking, if you cancel order cause Intel leaves Meego. Intel has NOTHING todo with Nokias efforts in Meego Harmattan except the damn name! Nokias biggest mistake is the ****ing name. if they had continue called it "Maemo6 with Qtsupport" would you buy it then?

infact its more Qt+Swipe+maemo6 N9 is about. nothing else!

But hey if you willing wait a year for samsung to get some freaking new device out based on tizzot its upto you ;)

but cancel cause of tizzot coming 2012 hahaha epic fail...

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

nooo (get over it! its sooo 2010)

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

You stupid woman :D Seriously, that is plain stupidity caused by pure ignorance. Tizen is MeeGo with a new name. In another 18 months it will have yet another stupid name. Harmattan != MeeGo

LOL :D

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

The only thing is that Harmattan happen to support Meego API and won't support Tizen Apis (or at least not garanteed, but nokia could do it). By any mean, you shouldn't care, because there were not so many meego handheld before, which means there are not so fewer now.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Ignorance breeds ignorance it seems.
Tizen is NOT Meego with a new name. Meego is a QT based project, whilst tizen will not require qt for compliance. Tizen, whilst sharing many core components with Meego (as virtually all linux distributions do) will focus on HTML5 + WAC API's for HTML5 applications. Qt does not play a part in this.

ps: didn't you say you were leaving TMO a while back? Oh well, we're all used to disappointment these days......

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

I am curious if anyone used their corporate email on Nokia N9 and does it have provisioning. My N900 is not provisionable and does not communicate with my work mail.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

The N950 is provisionable.
I have tried it against Exchange 2007 and Zimbra. Both work.
Haven't tried multiple exchange accounts.

Re: N9 is here! Personal experiences wanted
 

Just curious - what kind of score does the native browser get in Sunspider JavaScript benchmark?
