Really? The swipe on my n950 as well as that on the n9 I've seen was fast if I flicked fast, and smooth if I wanted to show off.
I've never faced it being slow.
The only problem I faced with swipe was initially I didn't realize that a swipe needs to start from the edge of the display to be recognized as a swipe. If I swipe within the window, it's a swipe gesture for the app.

Don't trust Nokia much?

I am NOT impressed at all and one thing i do know is neither were anything like the video from the russian that seemed to be not only a lot lot faster but had a larger menu with more components.

The models on show were blue pink and black and both 16gb and 64 gb were also in black !! please note this as it is being said that black is only 64gb, not true.

I want to know what software version will come with the public release before i can be sure but if this is it then for me no way i will buy one.

My HONEST opinion is the N900 is far far better !!!!!!!.

Anyone wants to know something specific then just fire away.
To each his own.

I've found that for most of my needs, the N950 (and thus the N9) will be perfect.
For the geeky side of things, there's enough developers to make it all that the n900 is and more.
