jakiman - you're posts and tests are fantastic. Keep them coming.

Why so serious? I do have a 64GB N9 ordered. I claim nothing about the N9, can I joke about it please? If not, sorry to litter the thread.

You don't see that was just making a joke of Elops counter action to N9 positive press acclaim with the "leaked video" (no more phone with this OS even if success, ok you can find N9 cool but be assured the WP7 is going to be the latest and greatest soon and the N9 features will live on)

Marrat's colleagues apparently liked the N9 too much so I felt I had to help Elop countering this dangerous tendency and help him based on real world marketing propaganda to save his maximum bonus on "mission accomplished".

I'm finding it hard to understand what you're saying in some of your sentences.
I didn't realise it was a joke, must be a cultural thing.
If that's all you were tying to do, then my apologies.

Droid Bionic's Pentile, interesting read, slightly different to N9's Pentile

N9 is brighter than the SGSII, but it sounds like this might be as bright or brighter.
And 256PPI, thought it'd be a bit higher than that (N9's is 251).

yes sorry sarcasm is not funny indeed, some incl myself misunderstand Elop - Canadian corporate cultural thing

Qt Quick for the masses?

An interesting article aboud KDE's Plasma Active (with Plasma Quick, based on Qt Quick) aiming at Android, iOS and potentially Tizen:

(Sorry if OT or already posted. I thought it could be of interest to some here...)

The N9 running Meego-Harmatten is not open. It's only open running MER/Meego-CE/whatever.

Again, I didn't say anything "will" or "will not" happen--but the fact that even the question about whether it will or not because of the lack of support for something that you would expect to be an easy port questions the value of the platform and any future development as well. So far, the trend hasn't been particularly advantageous for a commercial developer on Maemo and it's been a severely negative mishandling.

Who knows better what I said? I pointed out that there's a problem with the whole idea of basing this on parts of Maemo and MeeGo if you can't even easily port from Maemo 5. You said "SOME" can easily port--and I pointed out that it's not EASILY PORTED if only "SOME" can easily port instead of generally MOST. That's not the same as non-existent and my words were chosen correctly.

You're welcome, I guess? I'm still not seeing any answers to the questions I'd asked. Has anybody seen any particular reason why these N9 screens have a bad pentile AMOLED other than the throw-up-your-hands and wave them, "OH LAWDY PENTILE AMOLED IS THE DEVIL" scary dance? As I said, I know that the Android camp's Bionic looks beautiful EXCEPT for these weird pentile display problems that are noticeable but I've not heard of any complaints on the N9's display so far. Can anybody report back on any of that?

Thus confirming that his fears are already realized and he's pointed them out far too late. Mind you, many of us have already been pointing this out for quite some time.

So apparently it is not possible to add anything to status menu in Harmattan: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4117

And I assume that status menu bar is also locked.

This is so totally ******ed design choice that I can't find any justification for this.
