uhhh, okay

i received my N9 64G today. i charged it and tried to load as much stuff as i could without a microSIM card.

#1 if you hose the connection (ovi store/twitter/facebook - any built-in service - see below) you will have to perform a reset - otherwise you will receive erroneous messages about service availability; google for it if it happens to you and find out about the reset.

i went to t-mobile to get a microSIM. i'm not sure if i'm happy with the direction they're taking, but i've been with them for six years so i'll give them a chance.

#2 turn off 'suggestions' in music player from the main settings panel, unless you like being marketed to every time you listen to a song.

returned home, reset the device, got it connected to t-mo and house services and finally got logged in to ovi. downloaded the apps i thought i need and loaded ten gig of mp3s.

#3 facebook and twitter can not be un-installed.

#4 the browser is broken, or at least it appears that way to me. it seems to work fine if i click on links from search, but not so well with urls i type directly

#5 do i have to have my storage formatted vfat on a linux device? because on my N900 it was ext3, which means the file system didn't freak at mp3 files with crazy characters in their names; Ágætis byrjun anyone?

i'm sure i'll find more things, good and bad, as time goes on. i'm really looking forward to PR1.1; as for the good things:

#1 beautiful

#2 fits in the watch pocket of my jeans, like every other nokia i've owned

#3 audio - with dolby enabled (per app, ie. it must be enabled for audio and video separately) you get some extra low-end kick and some spatial, its really nice

#4 swipe - it really does rock

#5 camera - i'm just getting started with it
