Seeing the 64 GB N9 retailing for approx $250 these days, I finally gave in and jettisoned my Palm Pixi in favour of an N9.
What puzzles me is this - how could a low-end smartphone like the Pixi (which cost me all of $70) get account integration right while a high-end smartphone like the N9 struggles.
The Pixi Contacts app provides seamless integration with GMail, Facebook, Yahoo, LinkedIn etc so all my contacts were pulled in and kept updated.
The N9 Contacts application, to say the least, is bland, and now that Google has dropped support for ActiveSync, I have not even the Mail for Exchange route to bring in contacts so the only option to import GMail, Facebook and LinkedIn contacts appears to be a vcf file exported from the Pixi
As as far as the much-vaunted swipe experience is concerned, my opinion is that WebOS got it better than Nokia.
Just letting off steam,
A frustrated N9 user

There is a way to do this but all apps must support it.
I'm looking for a solution since I got involved with Wazapp development.
