the first time I had the N9 in my hands it was cold, and I asked very surprised if it is with a metal finish. I knew it was plast.. pardon. I knew it was polycarbonate, but it felt so expensive, so high quality. and incredibly light.

Sorry I can't comment on provisioning because i don't know what it is... I'm using my gmail account via mail for exchange and it synchronizes my contacts, calendar and email without any problems.

No disrespect meant, but you people with N950's have some seriously limited/myopic testing abilities. The limited ability to test different environments should be seen as a handicap.

i don't think we got n950s to test them for you guys, nokia doesn't really want us talking about any problems they have!
exchange account settings on n950 has an option that says "non-provisionable device", which is disabled.

fancy "accidently" dropping an N9 to see how the unibody holds up

one thing i'm not too worried about is the build quality. i've smashed some of my old nokia's up and they've still worked. i've fallen quite a few times and caught barrels on my thigh eg on my mobile and still held together. there'll always be exceptions but it looks to be durable. i'm just wondering where the shock of any impacts will go in the device as there's no hinges to take the shock.

Then you fail to understand what community means. If not test for the benefit of the community, then who are you testing for? Your own personal gains? To keep us in the dark? To not share information to those that have none?

Nothing you'll say really will cover up the fact that within a community of like-minded individuals should you or should you not test in methods that benefit not only yourself since you're a part of a community or benefit others that are part of that same community.

I won't say much more other than I don't like what seems to be implicit in your tone and choice of words.

We're talking features. Not problems. Either it exists or doesn't.

The problem lays in how limited you people are in terms of ability to test. Seems like the limited nature of the release will ultimately limit its adoption rate as well... carry on.

Disgusting.

I'm just saying it's not up-to-date firmware on this thing, and if it was, it's still not "final" so... it's a bit early to pass any judgement.
I did receive it to test that software I write works, and test Nokia's frameworks. Nokia has their own people to test that the thing is usable for end users. So I just don't agree with you saying we are not able to test things properly, because that's not what we are supposed to be doing. Every minute I am on this forum is a minute lost developing apps... Unless I just stick to the development section, of course!


try not to take my tone so seriously, nothing is implied. i'm in a hurry!!

Then just answer the question if you can. Snarky remarks just piss off the people who are without.

And at this moment, such a limited release with more curious people out there, saying daft statements like "we're not here to test for you guys" will just enrage folks all that much easier.

"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"

Name one Nokia person that's responding in this forum. Just one.

Again, you're wholly missing the point. Glad your stuff works. Yay for you. Somebody asks something that none of you people are willing or able to test. My statement stands... limited ability to test.

Your collective networks, code, needs nor options do not reflect every (or in this case, a lot) user. Can't test provisioning, fine. Just don't answer. It's ok... so far I've yet to get an answer as to some of the stuff I've asked in other threads - I'm definitely not the only one.

Then what are you supposed to be doing? Developing apps that only benefit yourself? One more post to rub in that you have something that a lot of other developer's don't have?

Or just to promote yourself? Community. Read up on it.

Luck with that.

And to ward off the inevitable; I'm not jealous. I'm seriously hopeful that you people with N950's develop software that actually is going to draw attention to the platform.

But some of you people seriously lack the ability to communicate well with the community it seems. That hinders a lot... especially your own apps from being adopted.

My stuff doesn't work though, and I am bound by NDA to not say anything negative. So I can't tell you about Nokia's stuff that, um, everything is working great!!!
I just don't understand what you expect from us. Nokia never asked ME for feedback on the device, I am not even sure if I am supposed to submit bug reports to them for broken stuff as it's very unclear if it's stuff they know about, stuff limited to the n950, stuff they've fixed already, or whatever.
Please don't give me a hard time for "Failing to communicate effectively". If I missed your point and you missed mine, it's probably both of our faults. And I did answer the question about provisioning. It has a setting that mentions provisioning, and if you google that you can find a thread on the meego.com forums where someone says that it supports most things.
Oh, and writing open source apps is for the community. Maybe I get a nice phone out of the deal, but that was never guaranteed and not my motivation.
