P.S. With these couple of bugs still by best phone ever and I'm now comparing how they've felt at the time of the release. 9210 gets closest because it was sort of revolutionary at the time of release but it's still lagging far behind. This is much better to me than iPhone at the time of it's release. Pity that the ecosystem is sort of dead

Don't have an N9 (yet) but just wanted to say thanks for all the info. I've learned so much from just this thread that I can't wait to get an N9. Thanks for all the work.

So I guess that for this reason the bluetooth daemon filters on "local" contacts only, I still don't understand why that would exclude contacts synced from bluetooth (which as far as I know are seen as local contacts)...

Anyway, it seems that the issue is being worked on, I can't promise anything regarding a fix since there is no solution yet, and it's not my team. Furthermore, I'm not totally sure what my NDA allows me to tell
About the ecosystem, you'll surely never reach the level of iOS or Android, I'm personally in this category of users that don't need millions of apps, but I can understand it's a blocker for some people.

Frankly, the system is f*ck*d if it doesn't allow me to share my contacts with my car. Other phones let me do this so I'd think there is a way around the licenses. Maybe it's just matter of definition of 3rd party. Using bluetooth is not really 3rd party to me, not as such and automatically anyway. But I respect your honesty. And you should respect your NDA
I'd be happy with some "hack" that marks all contacts as local... hint
And what comes to ecosystem, I made a conscious decision to take this into use so I'm ok('ish) too
But I must admit there are couple of apps I'd just love to see and it seems unlikely we'll see those, at least not all. My shortlist would be: Kindle, Zinio, Evernote.

use the "notes" field
a new field "public key" and the ability to either type it in, paste it in or read it from a file would be great.
a follow up for this would then be the ability to use the above mentioned public key in the various integrated communication methods, but this could be left for 3rd party developers

private key, that is what you want to keep in the password storage application or encrypted container etc.
