Well Nokia broke a lot of habits with the N9. Some good some bad.
Good
It's not Symbian
Sleek and thin
Bad
no SD slot
non-removable battery

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 ?.

Ah I remember these guys. They got a pretty good rep. IIRC.
They were among the 1st to get the N900 into Australia.
$749 AUD's pretty damn good for 64GB don't ya'll reckon?
At least at this early stage.....
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.

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.
