Ya, it's nice to play videos via HDMI from your device, but if i ever feel the need to, i'll just get a micro-usb adapter, copy the video to a flash drive, & plug directly into my Samsung lcd. It plays ANYTHING.

Any chance for release in this month? My symbian veteran just broke up 
IMO If Nokia World is in October and Elop plans on keeping his word about announce late rls early. We probably se Nokia W7 in November and perhaps n9 will be released at the same time like most sites predict.

Yeah, but as the specs already say, the built in web browser uses Webkit (not Mozilla's chrome browser interface, which Fennec would probably use.)
There is also Google's Chrome OS, but since this specifically says Web (Chrome) and lists it as an Application, it sure does look like Google Chrome is available (which I think is a downside, if only 'cause I personally dislike Chrome...But then it's an upside, 'cause it'll make those people happy that do.)
Kind of odd that they'd have Chrome and not Chromium, which is the full open source version of Chrome. Unless they do have the plugins and closed source bits in it.
Guess we'll all see when the beast is out!

It doesn't make sense to have the "Chrome" or "Chromium" browser on the device, because you would have to provide a different "chrome" for it anyways. Just like Fennec is not Firefox, it's just the same engine with a mobile UI. When people call it Firefox, then this is only for marketing reasons.
The search display looks like that when it finds the search term in a keyword, the actual name of the found item is "Web", so it's the built-in browser.
Not sure if this required such a detailed explanation, but I also wanted to give an example of a somewhat longer message typed on the VKB (portrait), since somebody wondered about it.
It's not a problem, just needs a bit of practice. Landscape and Swype make it easier, but at least for me are slower.

Chrome is what Mozilla calls their interface elements. Agreed. You know, like the chrome on a car....
Firefox and Fennec (and MicroB) uses the Gecko rendering engine.
Chrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome) uses Webkit and Chromium is the fully open sourced project, as I said (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29)
So while Mozilla's Chrome is basically a theming engine and you can define cool things with it, Google's Chrome is a web browser utilizing the open source project of Chromium.
So even if Google Chrome changed it's 'crome' it could still be native on the N9. It's native on the N900 as well, though no one has updated the package in a long time. Not to mention it's not in the apt repositories (at least I couldn't find it after searching for two seconds.)

I cancelled T-Mobile USA and went prepaid which serves the 3G in my area but N900 is stuck in EDGE due to N900 not supporting the the necessary band for my service.
hey what happened to your "where is N9 Elop said it in 2011" thread?

Related to TV-out, there's no cable provided in an N950 box, but TV-out works with the composite cable from the N900. Decent enough quality on a 46" plasma HD TV.
Not necessarily indicative related to the N9.

But even more...We need one protesting about Elop hugely reducing the chance of there ever being Nokia-built OS again.
One derived from Linux+GNU-userland+QT.

Can't remember where I read it (probably MeeGo forums) but while the N9 has the FMTX module in it, there is no "antenna" connected - while the FMTX "could" be activated by an app, it's highly likely that the TX power would not be sufficient to transmit even close distances (ie. to your car stereo). I'd love to (and hope to as well) be proven wrong though!!!
Still, RX (plus RDS) is prolly a tad more useful to me personally than TX.

I see no reason to not release it "when its ready", instead of artificially delaying.
(Which -incidentally- I reckon happened to some extent before Nokia connections)
And most sites haven't predicted it'll be released in Nov...
Most commentary in this thread has suggested a roughly end-of-Sept release for most countries, but it could be very diff. for each country, no-one really knows yet.
Jakiman's talk w/Oz's product manager suggested even a late August for Australia.
If Elop holds true to his word... (hahahahahahahahaha)
When release dates/prices/countries are announced, it'll be available literally days after, if not then & there.

Yeah don't know what's about with that release date. Every major review site has already had their devices for review/preview use and youtube is full of videos of people showing around N9/N950.
I don't really believe that September rumor as that info comes from one carrier in Sweden and they even say it's a estimate and i doubt one carrier in the he world would have solid enough info to put it up there while nobody else doesn't.
I'm one of the very first in preorder line waiting for N9 on a major finnish retailer so hopefully i will have it on the very first day it gets out.
