This is an improvement, but is still not enough to lift the overall productivity level above that of Freemantle.
Yes & in-app closing rather than minimising, there's also an app to assign diff. tasks to swipes.
I really am intrigued why you keep saying it's less "productive" than Fremantle.
I look forward to assessing for myself if that really is the case, at least for me.

As it stands, from an end user perspective, I don't see much to differentiate this device from the likes of the iPhone..
Surely an exaggeration? At least for N9's running the latest builds.

but the risk that Nokia will cease to repair/replace N9s in the future (i.e. within 2 years of release).
I still think the "risk" is less, based on what I outlined in my prior post.
If you look at Nokia's actions/statements past & present, it seems less likely this time.
Of course no-one knows which way it'll go, so I can't claim that with absolute certainty.

There are already cases where N900 owners have been asked to accept N8/E7 as a 'replacement' for a faulty N900 returned within the 2 year warranty period.
I don't see any reason to believe this won't happen with the N9.
Addressed this in my response to gerbick.
