Good
It's not Symbian
Sleek and thin

Bad
no SD slot
non-removable battery
uses micro-sim card
(for the life of me cannot understand this choice. For any one who travels or has more than one phone this just kills choice. So disappointed)

I'm also pissed about this, but they do make an adapter to convert back to reg. sized sim...

It is technology moving forward and something we do not always like as changes mean all sorts of things sometimes like the micro-sim for instance but onward we go.

There has to be a sleek and slim device now and then as bulky devices like the N900 are not everyones flavour obviously.

The non removal battery is obviously to give Nokia care centres and engineers alike, work, but not everyone will agree to this one i feel.

Look at the important side and that is the ease of use and the OS looks gooood from the video's kindly posted by members on this thread !.

Could be Nokia's best yet ?.

Actually i can bet my life that there will be an easy adaptor to use regular size simm that will fit inside nicely, actually i will look into that one.

At least at this early stage.....
What is going to be so special for this phone to attract that kind of money? It is another phone from Nokia that runs MeeGo not Symbian, it is probably not going to open as N900 and we will have to rely on the developers to get apps and Nokia for updates (that may never happen !)

I like the swipe, but really, not for that money, price shouldn't be any more than the current price of E7 or N8 which is between AUD 400 and 490.

It is just another phone from Nokia to keep it going in the smart phone market and hence should be competitively priced and frankly, it is not going to much advantage over Galaxy S (not even SII) other than the swipe.....

I stand corrected though.

Most people are probably interested in the ability to insert a newly-purchased SIM into the N9 when they travel, not the ability to move the N9's SIM around to other phones.

This is the same as saying that micro SD are crap because you can't use them in SD slots.
i.e. it does not make sense (or I am missing something on the micro-sim concept).

The only issue could be when you would want to use an other sim in the phone. Then you would have to cut it, which is not always practical if it's not yours.

I'll just cut the two sims I use, buy two adapters, and be done with it.

Just saw one today on a train at home-station, he has a cyan one and looked brand new. If Nokia is going to announce the arrival date soon for N9, this person is in a grave danger.
