Petrovich and that whole sharing account tie-in
Its very easy to share **** on the N9.

Pidgin Integration(for Facebook Chat, Skype, Google Talk, and AIM)
Allready in there from the get-go. At least FBChat, Skype and GT, dont use AIM so not sure, but I assume its there. No msn tho.

Joikuspot would be cool
Also preloaded.

Hermes(or an equivalent for pulling all your Facebook contacts into your phonebook with pictures of that contact)
Preloaded.

A File Explorer
Downloadable.

PDF Reader
Preloaded.

And is the Conversations "paradigm" still there? Does it look at all your IMs and texts as the same thing?
Actually opens a new conversation window for FBChat, doesnt seam it into your SMS thread. But chat works like SMSes with regards to notifications, where the convo is placed, how you start it up, etc.


No copy-paste, except for a few text input fields. This is very annoying especially in the browser, where text input is fundamentally broken.
OS-wide copy/paste is either in 1.1 or 1.2, most likely 1.2 with improvements in 1.1. Browser text input thing Im not sure of.

No cursor keys on the onscreen keyboard. The replacement (a lense) doesn't work in all applications... again, the browser is the most important application in which you cannot control the cursor position at all.
Cursor keys are coming with the Swype keyboard in PR 1.1 I seem to recall? And yes, the browser textbox thing is still weird.

The display is the worst I've ever seen on a mobile phone, much worse than the wonderful display you enjoy on the N900. Color bleeding, shadows and stripes, purple tint, whatever... there's a whole thread about it.
Personally Ive only seen 1 display better than my N9s; the SGS2. And the N9 is better in direct sunlight.

Also lacking from the browser is the 'mouse over' mode you have in the N900, flash support of course, any way to edit bookmarks (actually, there's no such thing as bookmarks)...
Yeah, I sometimes miss the cursor. Hope they improve the browser features shortly. Bookmarks... meh theres the "create a shortcut to the URL" system which works okay, and the "most used websites" homescreen in the browser. I dont really miss bookmarks that much with these two systems in place.
