Honestly the space is one of the reasons I actually want the n9. I have a lot of music. My ipod video running rockbox was stolen not to long ago and I have been using my n900 as my mp3 player. I've actually gotten quite used to having only one device for my music and phone. I have A LOT of music. I don't need all the apps that exist for droid/iphone. I want its amazingly fast GUI, browser, the phone use itself and an mp3 player.

619 Euro for 16GB and that Aegis crap? You're kidding me. I know the price will fall, but i will never again pay even 400 Euros for a (new) cellphone. 420 for the N73 was the max amount ever. The technology just gets old too quickly. For that money (~600 Euro) you can get quite a good vacation trip already, to overseas.

id like to ask the same question

because, with the curved glass as well, by having a screen protector on it, it wouldnt be as smooth when 'swiping'

so.. is the gorilla glass enough?


im planning not to buy a screen protector just so the swipe gestures feel more smexy =P
unless people advise me otherwise

Well.. here's a Motorola Droid (A855, which has Gorilla Glass... this is the phone I currently have--see my signature, and I can confirm the same results from some scary personal experiences):

Aaaand here's a Samsung Galaxy Tab (which also has Gorilla Glass... which I also own, so I can also attest to the same results via experience):

I started out buying screen protectors.. but eventually, I learned I was better off without one and just learning to huff at the screen with my breath and wiping it on my shirt to clean it off--because otherwise, it seems to take a LOT of abuse without damage. Mind you, it's not invincible--I've managed to put some minor nicks on the extreme corners of my screen with some INTENSE throwing (unintentional, trust me!) but it actually took effort. I'm sure an intentional effort could have managed to put nicks but it seems VERY resistant to scratches. You're far more likely to crack it from a fall before scratching it, I think.

Gorilla glas is the best!
I've had my Nokia N8 since october and it doesn't have any scratches even though I often have my phone in the same pocket as my keys.
Usually i had my keys seperated from my phone but after seeing some videos on youtube I really didn't care and so far I haven't regret it.

However the plastic top and bottom has gotten some scratches...

It's glass, not diamond. There are still lots of things out there that can scratch it.

even diamond get scratched, but have you had a phone with gorrila-glass?
It's much more tough than you'll think.

any idea if harmattan support themes ? background picture support for application grid and notification screen ?

The price of the 16gb is about 400 uk pound and the 64gb version is close on 500 uk pound.

I would have taken the 16GB version at £400, if it had an SD card slot. 9GB free on first boot is too low for me, and I'm not paying silly money for additional internal flash memory (which is not portable or replacable if it becomes corrupted).
