My n9
 

Hi guys, this is my 1st posting since I registered myself into this forum yesterday. I was using an N9 for about 3 weeks & then I parted with it. 2 issues that I had made me part with it.
1/ Mail for exchange: I could not send out mails. Whenever I do, there is a pop up window that says - "Connections error." There are other users facing this problem as well.
2/ Font size is too small for my eyes / blame it on my ageing eyes. PR1.1 has increased the Font size but is still non-adjustable.
3/ Whatsapp is not available in N9.
I should have waited for the PR1.1 firmware update which seems to solve some of these issues. As far as I know & as of now PR1.1 is still not available in Malaysia.
I have been told that PR1.2 should be out in the not too distance future.
I do not mind getting another N9 with PR1.2 built-in.
I have also read somewhere that this will not the last Meego phone. N10 in the pipeline or just pure rumours?
The hardware aspect is simply amazing & how I wish all Nokia smart phones (especially Symbian phones) have it. Cheers mate & have a nice week end!

Re: My n9
 

MeeGo is dead. Intel killed it. The N9 is a Qt phone and there will be Qt phones even after Symbian according to Nokia. This makes you wonder what OS they will be running. I think we are going to see more Linux phones from Nokia, but no more MeeGo phones.

Thanks for your reply.
This is going to make the N9 a collector's item in time to come. LOL!

You can have PR1.1 firmware for Malaysia from NaviFirm and flash it . I don't know if updatong via NSU is available

Re: My n9
 

SOLIEL: Thanks for your reply.
Appreciate very much if you could tell me how do you update via NSU? I normally do it via OTA.
Cheers mate!

Get an iPhone. It works. And battery life is amazing

Re: My n9
 

Amazing? The 4S will last a whole day if you're lucky.

Re: My n9
 

Nokia should just start calling it Maemo 6 already.

Geez, I mean doesn't it have more in common with Maemo than MeeGo? Doesn't doesn't the N9 still use deb instead of the planned rpm?

please dont feed the troll

Re: My n9
 

Since you have already parted with your N9 why are you still interested to update to PR1.1?

But since you ask it is actually very simple. Just download NSU and install it on your PC. NSU will update itself to the latest version, then connect your N9 to your PC in sync mode and it will look for the updated firmware and do the rest. Be patient because it is a 1.1GB download. After completion NSU may say "update failed". Just ignore it, reboot your phone and enjoy PR1.1.

But I still wonder why you are asking.

Nokia doesn't need Intel to continue developing meego or some new leg of it and call it whatever. Its just Linux. What's running on top is what makes the n9. Qt and the ui.

Re: My n9
 

You missed the point. It's not Intel who broke the alliance but Nokia because Nokia doesn't want to continue developing Meego. If not for their agreement with Intel Nokia wouldn't even be releasing the N9; the whole Meego project may have been shafted aside due to Elop's abject fear of Lumia losing to N9.

Re: My n9
 

IMHO the MeeGo alliance was doomed from the beginning. An ARM phone manufacturer and a CPU maker that wanted to have their CPUs in mobile phones without actually having any CPU appropriate for that.
I think Nokia released the N9 because of leaving the MeeGo alliance. In that alliance Nokia probably would have been forced to release a phone with an Intel CPU.

Re: My n9
 

That makes sense actually, I didn't think about that.

Re: My n9
 

I'm contemplating of getting another N9. I seem to miss my N9 after parting with it. I was too impatient then & pulled the trigger. Thanks anyway.
