When I run into what we call the network area's outskirts, there is still full 3G coverage on Nokia N9. Some other phones are already changing here for the 2G network (EDGE). When I run on into a small forest on the route, keeping Nokia N9 still stand with full 3G coverage. All other phones I've tested, jump here on the 2G network, but even in the midst of the forest, Nokia N9 full 3G. So I get around 6 Mbit / s speed of Nokia N9 in this area and it's crazy!

If I'm in the middle of the forest put the phone down on the floor of the car lost one of the 3G signal bars, and only by holding his hand over the phone for several minutes while it is at the bottom of the car, I can get it to jump the 3G network and onto the 2G network - Antenna specialist, Christian Nielsen

I were interveiwed by the camera guy so if im unlucky i'll be on the 3 site commentating on the event.

My personal impression was just like you (and as the first time i tried it).

Great browser, quick camera start-up time and shooting and more than one active sync mail acount. These are my primary uses...

Even though the case is plastic (poly-something) it feels great and lays "ergonomically" in the hand. The feeling is like it is a mixture of plastic and some sort of rubber. It doesnt slip out of your hand as the N8 or iphone(4).

And yes the vbk is great both horizontal and vertical mode.

About the N9 and DLNA i just wrote what the Nokiaguy said, and as I understood it, he was more keen on setting it to the tv-out (3,5 jack) or usb mode than DLNA. I agree, however, that it is weird if it cant do the DLNA properly in 720p.

It could be true. If you look at the design of the N9, you get the impression that the Nokia N950 was originally intended as the high-priced flagship model, and that the current N9 would have been the cheaper mass-market follow up.
Whatever Nokia says, it isn't a terribly expensive design. The AMOLED is a cheaper pen-tile version, the chip is over a year old (it was also in the Palm Pre2 but it does have more RAM), and the casing is plastic with very few buttons.

If they start the device at over 400 euros, I don't think the device will be a hit. I think Apple will introduce a budget iphone at that pricepoint, and there are numerous Android devices with similar or better specs at that price.

The new software, curved glass, 1GB RAM and NFC may be very cool features, but iPhone/Android have so many more applications.
With Windows Phone devices coming very soon from Nokia, the MeeGo device needs to be cheap at launch, slowly discounting over the following months (like Nokia always does) would be the nail in the MeeGo coffin.

So yes, I'm hoping that it is true and that Nokia gets the pricing for the MeeGo device right.
