How did you DM'ing via Twitter go with Damien?
Did he highlight anything that'd explain the N9s poor performance Vs SGSII?

Do additional country maps eat away more of the precious storage for data or are they stored in the part reserved for apps?

BTW, How do you restore from Backup on the N9?? (i must be blind?)
Backups are in .backups in USB mass storage, so you can just copy them off for safekeeping.

Does the N9 read/recognize QR codes natively, or is there an app (such as mBarcode) for that...?

a new text message comes in, At the top status bar you can see part of it, just like android. If you click on it straight away it takes you to the message, but if you miss the period that it shows there... is there a quicker way to go to the message other than manually navigate to the messages screen, then open the message.

He wanted original non-resized files of the ones I've upped etc.
I will be sending him more samples from various phones I have.
One thing he mentioned is this: (this sounds informative enough for everyone hence I hope it's okay to quote his exact words)
N9 uses AMBR automatic motion blur reduction to increase gain based on subject/camera movement to increase the shutter speed to help remove the possibility of camera shake/subject movement. The downside is increased noise. However, we felt it was better to have more noise than blurred pictures. N8 doesn't use AMBR because it uses xenon where the flash freezes any movement.
I don't think my N9 is bad. My N9 takes quite decent pics when there is plenty of light and using low ISO. Anyways, I will do some more comparisons myself with the phones I have with much more controlled parameters. (including the use of a tripod for each shot)
My comparisons I did with N8 and SGS2 are all valid still. I didn't give any device any more favors than the other. All set to AUTO and just composed the shot and then pressed the shutter. There really isn't a lot to go wrong or make mistakes. =P
Anyways, I will update on my twitter or blog once I get something even more concrete.

So this is why N9 uses 1/30 seconds or higher for flash photos. But to get this shutter speed and maintain correct exposure in dark lighting situation requires higher ISO gain. (hence it uses high ISO value also)

Atleast it gives some hope lets kick atleast SGSII in the ***

1. How open ( as in open source) is the calendar app? Will it be possible to change ( or perhaps with the help of an add-on) calendar layout to week grid view?

Question:
At some point I have seen a setting to which folder to display when the mail application opens.
IIR correctly something like: favourite folders or inbox
I cannot find this option anywhere now. Has it been removed from the PR version of the firmware or I'm just blind?
