is it true? n9 still without dialing voice recognition?

how does the micro b browser (n900) compare to the n9 browser?

Zero advertising in North or South America. None in Japan either. All three locations were frequented by me during my travels in the period that the N900 was released.

And by the constant cries in this forum, the N900 was not a consumer device, it was to be step 4 out of 5; thus not consumer friendly exactly (and it wasn't).

The push in parts of Europe and (now it seems) Australia were not uniform nor helpful in its bottom-line.

Oh well.

To be fair, the N900 took 6 months to be released in Brazil.

But it got no marketing for that as well, anyway

From what i gathered from this thread, the N9 does not seems to have flash support, correct? At least at launch.

Well, i was browsing through some N9 videos and came across one that got me wondering:

Look at video "9- Nokia N9 – Browser + Add Bookmarks to Apps" on this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...qYGZIF9M#at=42

At 0:41, notice that green ad on the right for Qliq (i attached a screenshot of the frame in question), right above the "FA on Facebook" black bar. Seems innocent enough but it got me wondering because those ads are flash. I went to the fonearena link the video was testing and on that exact space on the website, there is a flash ad space. Go test it yourselves:

fonearena.com/blog

And compare to the video.

For all its worth, the browser might convert flash to a still shot, make some magic trick instead of placing a "no flash" bitmap where flash should appear, but what i see is a full web page with no empty space.

Any thoughts or theories?

Is this relevant for the arm SoC used by the n9 too?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/23/g...inux-floating/

According to Engadget it's only for older arm architecture.
But I wouldn't take their word for anything, when it comes to truly technical stuff.
If it applies to n9 SoC too, then it's truly awesome news!

I mean binaries used by Nokia in N9 are prolly all already optimized right?
But everything else in Debian land apparently wasn't, at least for "older SoC's".

It's prolly not that awesome though...
Because it's not likely they'll keep optimizing binaries for all of Debian land every time there's new releases!

Remember when the PS3 first came out and the pricing around that? Remember when the PSP first came out and the pricing around that? Remember when they released the Vaio X series and the pricing around that?

Seriously... Sony pushes the upper limit of pricing in almost all scenarios.

apple however: http://www.shadymilkman.com/2010/11/just-cuz.html
Apple is notoriously bad, worse if in Europe.

And the funny fact is that the advertising placed in swipe.nokia.com (the banner that loads up when you enter that page) is filmed here in Argentina :/

* I like the N900, but its sometimes a bit massive to drag along just as a phone; N900 is a bit *too much a tablet* for my uses -- N9 doesn't have this issue
* It's a Nokia. If I get this I don't feel I risk much in terms of call quality, reception..
* I've got an E7. Its a nice phone, but I miss my grep, sed, awk..
* I don't like android. There's linux, but somehow dalvik is what you're supposed to deal with. Feels somehow.. perverse to me
* I like Debian a lot thank you!
* Iphone.. I don't like living behind bars, even if they are golden
* I like the looks of it, a lot
* N9 has a larger battery and a less power hungry chipset than the N900 - I'm hoping the batterly life is decent
* The UI looks simple enough to make a good phone, powerful enough to make a good smartphone
* The screen looks better than what I have on the N900 or E7

That said, I'm going to try before I buy.

Here is one of the reasons Nokia, and Google and Apple, is trying to kill adobe flash and push HTML5 forward.

http://thehandheldblog.com/2011/06/2...os-html5-test/

btw. N9 winner in this test :-D N9 is using Qtwebkit browser, so I guess this also is valid for thirdparty QtWebkit browsers in N900 :-P

(if I remember correct Opera is using QtWebkit but not sure...
