Complaining about a product is one thing but complaining about community members is another and to come into a community with an opening post like that will earn him a lot of respect i am sure
Complaining about N9 is different, most of us have done it. It's not perfect and never will be. It's another story to join this forum, with some other agenda, never even trying to discuss like an adult.
I'm surprised if you can't see a difference there.

Jay is a true gentleman and will gain massive respect wherever he goes because of the way he posts with respect to everyone, calling anyone whoever it may me a loser is not really the way to go on any forum in my opinion.
How do you even know it is not perfect ?
.Anyhow eneough on that i have said my piece and will leave it at that.

Firstly, I'm not a banned ex member, but I'm reading on quite a few forums. You have to be a pretty big looser if you get banned from a nice forum like this.
@abill_uk, I agree with your last post and we have made the our points pretty clear. Let's focus on the n9 from here on.

My biggest fear is the usual with Nokia phones, including N9. Great design but substandard software. The reviews by few members are so far mixed in my view. Ergushin wasnt impressed by the VKB and that is a big issue for me. It has to perform on par with iphone VKB. The n900 vkb was was substandard compared to the iphone. Moreover, the email lay out was fantastic, but I could not connect to my work, due to inability to establish provisioning with my work server. My iphone, E71, E51 had no issues. Even the new NOKIA e6, that I bought after reading ericssons gushing review, could not connect to my email. NOKIA discussions is full of complaints regarding email connection issues by multiple individuals. and E6 is supposed to be a corporate phone!!!!! For me the basic things that need to work flawlessly are telephony, SMS, GPS/maps and email. N900 sucks when it comes to maps. Why cant we get google maps to work like Apple and Symbian. The google maps on Symbian work perfect. I could care less about voice navigation and other extras.
I have tried to give NOKIA many chances, but for me, basic things need to work. If their engineers cant get basic things to work flawlessly, I can understand why NOKIA is going to bed with MS. I am willing to buy N9, but only after I read few months worth of user's experience. I am willing to give them a chance, but not for $700, when I could go and get another decent phone. For me to buy N9, google maps (like in Symbian) need to work, and ability to connect to my work email. If not, I will go to iphone 5

I don't know the ins and outs of provisioning for email servers, but here are some screen shots from the Mail for Exchange setup. In combination with the different devel/user modes, it seems to me that Nokia has done something to support corporate email structures inside GNU/Linux. This is the best I can do short of you giving me your email and password.
Here is an excellent demo (ready for primetime?) Map/Compass/GPS application written from a very prolific software developer. The GPS syncs instantly. I would show the out-of-the box Maps and Drive apps, but I haven't hooked it up to a Nokia account yet. Sorry, maybe within a week or so, or maybe someone else can share some pics.

And unless that person spent 10 minutes typing out the worlds longest text message, I'm not really sure their time spent with the VKB could really be considered that meaningful. (no disrespect to whoever posted about the VKB, though)

Every phone that has a keyboard, virtual or hardware, WILL have a learning curve (obviously, some will get it faster than other). I test on the iphone EVERY DAY for work. When I first started using it, I hated it because my fingers are larger. I also had to adjust going from an E71 to an N900. The point is, VKB's are not an exact science and every person's response to them will be different.

Has anybody else compiled a list of what's different between the N9 and N950? So far it seems as if the bluetooth chipset is in question - bluetooth 2.1 on the N950, bluetooth 4.0 on the N9 - and I think (unconfirmed) the gpu speed(s) are a bit different too.
If I've missed it, kindly point me to it. If it doesn't exist, then we should compile that list based off of official Nokia documentation. Asking the developer's might not be the best thing to do, just in case there are actually different iterations of the N950 device (could be).

more-over getting a concrete answers on some of the confused specs for N9 would be better, and this type of thread has already been made (N9 VS N950)

Wow. So goes curiosity about what's existing now and what we have to look forward to when the N9 is released.
Nevermind. Can see that curiosity is discouraged as ****ing well.

Never have i called people losers in the context you have and as for an opening post you obviously have had time on here before to have such courage so i can only guess and say your a banned ex member or you have created another id for the purpose of calling people losers in your first post so i do not think you will be very popular unless you change attitude quickly.
Nokia is not exactly the world's most popular company right now and neither is this community as many of the best have now left.
If your example of a opening post is your intended purpose on here then i wish you luck !
Good luck old chap.
