Instead of answering tons of question about the N9, I wrote a review here:

http://www.ic-mobile.com/reviews/72-nokia-n9-review

I hope that at least some of the questions are answered there.


Cheers

browser needs some work. battery seems ok, good standby ofc, but lasts me about a day of regular use. im enjoying the ui, but not sure if its because its different or because its good. with a better browser id be pretty pleased as thats a big one in my daily use. i like the chatsystem, not liking the fb app. as sms and calls go its pretty good. loads apps slowly, so i tend to leave some programs in the background, like contacts, phone, messages, etc for quicker access.

all in all im mostly waiting for a flasher, overclocking, and such.

all in all it has drawbacks, but all oses have those.

The n9 is fully sim-lock capable, and MIGHT NOT BE FLASHABLE if sim-locked (see Aegis stuff. read "might", meaning we don't know yet and it can change both ways). Buy with caution
Yeah I know, but good to reiterate again for others who may not be clear on that.

I think the N9 drawbacks, in an objective manner, should be put in one of the main thread.
The N9 has very good and very bad points, and people shouldn't be surprised by the bad aspects once they've made their purchase.
The list could contain, at least:
- Aegis
- browser missing features
- Aegis
- UI not customizable (not just closed source)
- Aegis
- No flash
- Aegis
- Crappy front and back cam firmware/software
- and probably Aegis + sim-locked by carrier

Reviews are highly positive, and that's good, but the phone is pricey and these could be some deal breaker for some. Good thing is everything is software updatable. Bad thing is nothing of this can be solved without nokia

You might need to flash an unbranded firmware image in order to get rid of it (I hope this is possible on simlocked or branded devices).
Yes. The Norwegian Telenor branded handset has a brief logo video after the Nokia startup video, and two usless web shortcuts that won't uninstall, that's all.
Not nearly as annyoyng as that lock screen logo but once we have a flasher, so i can restore the phone if I screw up, I'll make an attempt at removing those.

edit:
They remembered to put those in, but forgot to sim-lock the device. Nothing happened when I followed their unlocking procedure so I just popped in my operators sim and it worked.

second edit:
From "dpkg -l" mwelcome-logo-320 described as "Variant package template for startup animation" sounds like one likely candidate for unistallation. Can anyone with an unbranded handset check if you have a similar package installed?

Yeah the telenor device i have too, no "w" inputtable in the lock code thing and after an hour at the store trying to fix the lock, we just smacked a netcom sim in and it worked.

Hi, for some reason I can't change my ringtone to a song that I've uploaded from pc. When I go to chose from my music, it doesn't show any songs ( I've deleted all the ones that were included out of the box). Any help?

Edit: works when disconnected from pc. Thunderstruck is already my ringtone!
