Yeah exactly - my N8 feels like a relic now, and its got CFW on it

Also the N9 looks like a million bucks out in the sunshine - the N8 is barely visible in the sun!

Its having the data on - if i turn it off until i want it, it will save battery. Its been unplugged for 2 1/2 hours now and i took six photos this morning, and its still on 96% - if i keep the data off, it'll save batt (and quids too).

Thanks so much everyone I'm hooked up with Inception and tweaks and all the apps i can handle - and it does EVERYTHING, and it is so integrated together!! And yet the alarm and text msg sounds are the same as the N8, so there's considerable familiarity...

Again, thank you to everyone for all of your help on this thread. Your input has been invaluable to me, and the welcome has been appreciated.

Hey, maybe i can tinker with writing a program for it now that I have kubuntu back (with no broadcom driver issues! way to go ubuntu for finally making wifi work easily and on the first try) .... first i need to do this week's homework: i've been procrastinating
