you can only hope that a software update will enable you to finally play all 720p videos perfectly, althou i wouldnt hold my breath

and 701 plays everything right now, you dont have to hope for a better future that might not be there

It often takes several swipes and some lengthy scrolling to achieve the same thing that only takes one or two taps (or use of a keyboard shortcut) in Maemo5. Then we come to the bugs, the lack of customisation, the relatively poor multimedia performance and so on.

The N9 is for those that know why they want it (usually Swipe UX and shiny design). I could not recommend it to anyone that is on the fence. It can't replace the N900, nor can it compete with the more established smartphones.

Because i'm hearing and seeing great things being done with it..

as i see it most of the power users that made all those magical things for n900 wont make a switch to the n9 whose majority of userbase are not "geeks" like in n900's case but "regular" peple that will quicklly swich to the first next shiny thing that is offered to them...

i myself was convinced that the nokia n9 was the next best choice because of the OS (dispite of no support) and the fact that no other phone out there can run the apps that we use on the maemo/meego platform(QT)..

All the smartphones out there are simply not giving me what i need..Freedom if you look at our app store all the great apps we use ar free of charge if you look at a androis or IOS device (jailbreak IOS) you have to pay for alot of not so great apps..

if you can name one device i should really look at wich one would it be ?
