They all know about Tizen that it is the new OS to come but that is about all they knew.

I've never faced it being slow.
The only problem I faced with swipe was initially I didn't realize that a swipe needs to start from the edge of the display to be recognized as a swipe. If I swipe within the window, it's a swipe gesture for the app.

and as the 16gb it was not able to show ram or cpu details only that it was a 1ghz cpu.
I am NOT impressed at all and one thing i do know is neither were anything like the video from the russian that seemed to be not only a lot lot faster but had a larger menu with more components.
The models on show were blue pink and black and both 16gb and 64 gb were also in black !! please note this as it is being said that black is only 64gb, not true.
I want to know what software version will come with the public release before i can be sure but if this is it then for me no way i will buy one.
My HONEST opinion is the N900 is far far better !!!!!!!.
Anyone wants to know something specific then just fire away.
I've found that for most of my needs, the N950 (and thus the N9) will be perfect.
For the geeky side of things, there's enough developers to make it all that the n900 is and more.

Rofl "They had 15 N9's all lined up for me..."
This guy, what amazingly annoying hubris, did you get a free wank job too while you were there you know for "logisitcal reasons"
I don't think anyone who's been following this forum for any length of time believes a single thing you said. I'll wait for you to prove me wrong, but if history is any indication I won't be holding my breath on that one.

Thanks for this insight! N9 will be my smartphone, iphone 4 will be my dumbphone
How does the iphone4 qualify for either of these??

I asked them all what device they actually preffered including the N9 and you know what they said....the N8 !!!!.
Why i said????? that does not have meego, they said because it is better all round than the N9.
Now when 8 staff members tell you this you begin to question your own thoughts trust me on that one.

I have worked with Nokia direct for many years now and even though many have now left i can still pull a few strings.

Really then do tell me ... i want to know what i have said that is not correct... go for it !!!.
I don't actually know what kind of old software or prototypes were on display where you were. All the production devices should have 1Gb memory and MeeGo 1.2 harmattan version 1.2011.34-1 (Or later). What version did the ones on display have? I've never seen or even heard about any called MeeGo 1.1 Harmattan before. That PR can't have been updated since may.
EDIT: Nevermind, my first post was correct: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=46

The 16gb versions all had 1.1 meego and the 2 64gb versions had 1.2 meego.
I am not in the habit of making things up and if anyone doubts me then i suggest you do the same trip i did today.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:57.
They are VERY aware of the 3500 jobs going and the plant that has been shut down and are somewhat worried if they will even have a job this time next year !.
They ALL know of Elop and talk very bad of him and all seemed to have very little knowledge about what was actually going on inside Nokia the company they actually work for.
The N9 will be in the shops by the very latest 12 October, ALL the N9's i played with were not for sale.
They all know WP is coming but have very little knowledge of what if when or even how it will come about, really they are told very little and that does suprise me.
