Man, battery questions. Not sure I can do them justice. I can move to different places in my house and probably cause different types of battery drain just based on WiFi reception.

All I can tell you is that I plug it in at night, and I unplug it in the morning. And nothing in between. I'm testing and sshing to it all day long, but since everyone's mileage will vary, I don't know if that means anything. Sorry, but I would say make sure music files are in one of the native codec formats, but I don't know what those are yet, and it's probably unlikely there will be much third party support at that level. It's TI or nothin' I'm guessing.

Any phones out there or coming soon that do a/b/g/n + BT4?
Aside from N9, which seemingly does do BT4 now, although I'm a little unsure of the proof.
And c0d3rror, keep-up the civil behavior please, no trolling now or we'll have to put you on a leash

daperl, could you check if you can share videos bigger than 10 mb on fb or flickr?

You can, if you are not limited by the server side as there are some types of accounts that prevent it. For example, Flickr limits videos to 90 seconds regardless of account type but gives you 500MB per video for Pro account instead of 150MB per video for a free account.

BTW, unless you have Pro account on Flickr, your N9/N950 videos could not be viewed in their glory when uploaded to Flickr because HD video playback is only available for Pro accounts.

Go to MacRumors forums, now there people discuss any platforms in peace.
I dont hate Iphone, WP7, Android but I dislike people like you who is spreading FUD and garbage about Symbian or/and Meego Harmattan/Maemo without even have tested it.

I'm one of the fortunate that is in possession of an n950. It is plain and simply a b*tchin' device. The screen is so good it looks fake. But for me, the n9 will be even better. I'll try to explain why.

I think I'm in a very, very small minority of developers that doesn't want a physical keyboard on their handheld device. As far as I'm concerned, it's just unnecessary added weight and bulk. It's very well done on the n950, but good riddance. That said, I'm the first to admit that all OS supplied virtual keyboards are inadequate for the command line and command line editors, but that hasn't mattered to me for three years. More on that below. However, I've always found that default virtual keyboards are very capable for text and email.

I couldn't care less about being able to plug my portables into stuff; that includes my laptops. Although I verified that they worked, I had actual need to use host mode on my n800 and n810 this many times: 0. I'm all about the wireless, baby, and yet I'm a USB and HDMI fiend. But I leave that technology where it belongs: With my stationary computers.

I was in the crowd of people that was disappointed about these Maemo 6 devices being single core. My excellent experience with the n950 has made that a non issue. Actually, I totally forgot that it was single core until I decided to write this.

And of course on top of all that there's a GNU/Linux OS. Not even to mention Nokia's fulfillment of the QML/Qt awesomeness.

Even though I don't get to keep my built-in stylus, it's actually the differences between the last few Maemo devices that could make the n9 the ultimate:
  • Keyboardless
  • Thin
  • Light
  • Vibrant, power saving screen
  • Plastic-inspired great reception?
  • Keyboardless
Just to name a few.

Game. Set. Match.

I've been using my own home grown terminal since 2008, and I've just finished the first phase of the QML port. Becuase of its relative simplicity, the same code base runs on both the n900 and n950. Here are my usual boring screenshots:

As you can see, bash has already been ported. Now if I can just get me a version of vim...
any plan to port this to N900CE!? :-)

Ah, you have those wire and media transfer needs. Yeah, it's painfully obvious that the n9 falls completely flat there. I've zoomed the service manual and I've stared at this video (thanks to jakiman?), but for the life of me I can't tell for sure whether that USB port is Micro-AB or just Micro-B.

Can someone please post a link to confirm this? Pretty please?

Maybe joerg_rw and friends will have to come to the rescue again.

Anyway, Maemo peripheral hardware specs have been a roller coaster ride to say the least. It's sad to say, but it seems that if someone is looking for a Swiss Army knife, the specs of something like a Droid 3 are more in line with such things, or you have to keep your n900 in service. Crazy Nokia.

When all the smoke clears, it should be just a click of a button.

Sigh, it is sad.....
There's definitely no chance (even LT?) of MHL via mUSB, as substantiated by abbra here.
At least we still have DLNA via 5Ghz, but that's definitely not practical in some situations
I'd love to know if it's Micro-AB, or just Micro-B too....

I think it's microUSB B only according to this
