Ok, i want à keyboard but since its gone I expect the device to be thinner. Why is n9 a fat phone... Nokia dont have the best hw and not the edge design and that is boring. I guess the handset working very well without it. It just boring...

^ Fat? it's 7.5mm is many places, thinner than iP4 which is 9 or 10mm.
And it gets up to no more than 11mm from memory, & that's w/a far better camera module than iP4, which usually adds heaps of girth.

The outside N9 design features are simple and easy to do.
Its stuffing the hardware inside and finding a compromise on autonomy vs thickness that is the real exercise.
For me they could have made it twice as thick with twice or trice the battery capacity and the N8 camera module.

Edit: don't compare with old phones look at the phones that are released now. Xperia arc sgs2 iPhone 5 and so forth

Given the batt. capacity, excellent batt. consumption it's likely to have*, & superior overall camera tech.
I reckon the dimensions are better than anything else out there right now.
Of course by the time it's out... that'll prolly be different
I haven't seen it compared to xperia arc...
It's not fair to compare it to ip5, there haven't even been any previews of iP5 yet
And so long as it's not out later than Sept (it shouldn't bloody be!) it'll be out at least 1mth before iP5.
And there isn't any proof it will/won't be out much earlier than end-of-Sep for some countries.
*less beastly hw's a big factor, + they realised they can get away w/less beastly & still offer decent UI/MT perf.

BTW, all N950 from devkit have markings "Not for sale, developer device" and prototypes before that all have markings "Not for sale. Property of Nokia". If any of those devices occur on eBay or around for sale, you for sure will know that their sale is illegal.

Oh, I see... Well, then it definitely is RAM, my bad... but in that case it should be possible to disable this kind of swap if it doesn't fit one's expectations. Anyway this is much metter than on-disk swap...

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:05.
Most button pushing bloggers don't review it thouroughly.
Q to Mr Ericsson:
-did they screw up with the autofocus? (no autofocus for doc scans as in the "business" phone E7)
-any other wth did Nokia leave this basic functionality out after so many years? (share photo via service for example)
-how is browsing (real websites): how many open browser windows before it hangs? Any way to block adds and malicious scripts to speed up browsing?
-how big is the relief when you return to the N900?
