In Finnish phone forum some people who have tested N9 are saying that N9 browser does not support bookmarks (so if one wants to add bookmark it must be added to application list as a "web app"), only list of pages visited most often. Can someone confirm this or are those people wrong?

Man, the only thing that is more of a mess than this thread is its posters. We're going on 3 months of waiting and hostility is STILL on the rise. The ability to block posters has been mentioned more times than I remember. The only thing that can stop this thread now is the N9 finally coming out and the title being invalid, so a new thread would be started.

So many peoples' happiness relies on the N9, and the numbers used to be more, when more people had hope. People try to find someone to blame and want Elop to be Nokia's martyr, taking the blame for everything past and present that everyone here is calling mistakes. You wish, and heck, I wish it was that simple. You say all this when even a giant like Intel is being ignored completely in the smartphone and tablet markets - both hardware and software. Others had trouble latching onto MeeGo because Nokia had its hand so deep in it. The only people who ever knew anything good about MeeGo are those who knew it back when it was two separate entities.

It was destined for obscurity, like all of desktop linux. A cult following by those who claim to be "enlightened," or as a part of this group, I'd say "better informed." Its linux, but in creating this operating system they refuse to harness its potential as powerful, where it would be given an x86 processor and Flash would be obvious, Fennec (Firefox Mobile) would have few complains from anyone as the browser with both the name and the compatibility to back itself up. USB peripherals should have been obvious, at least a docking station with USB - heck, even without HDMI on the phone, DisplayLink would've worked.

October is looking like an exciting month, but unfortunately that's not because of the N9. All I ever wanted was this stupid linux phone, but a linux phone must not be profitable, eh? The N9 isn't coming out with a bang, but just a fizzle. No one will turn their heads.

I want a dual core x86 processor behind a 4.5" 720p capacitive touchscreen, dual cameras, a keyboard, and a good chunk of hard drive space. Screw the OS as long as I can get Linux and X running on it.

I'd say it's an exaggeration to say Belle slaughters Harmattan's UX.

Harmattan is made to be Meego for the masses so if you're looking for something to mod you should try it irl first before ordering.
Of course, as the N9 got an open bootloader you can nuke Harmattan and run whatever you want on it but that's another story.

I think we'll find it's quite good in that department, as time goes on.
And is actually more flexible/modular than originally presumed...

I think that may be right, although I can't recall where i read it. Nothing about bookmarks here...
http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/...g-the-browser/

Nokia Conversations haven't done anywhere near as many N9 demos/write-ups as they should have by now.
They talked about it for the 1st few wks (one or two articles /wk) after launch, & have been dead-silent since

And yes VERY relevant on this thread.
As long as these things are runing Android and considering the rate the Asian manufacturers spawn "new models" I can only classify this as environmental polution.
It is not because of "we" in the West did that for years (Nokia) they have the right to do the same
One phone a year, wait lets make it 2 years. N9

It definately IS midrange.

the LG Optimus Black which I briefly owned is a perfect analogue:
4" WVGA screen with high contrast IPS screen
1GHz Omap3 SoC

Price, about £250 sim-free versus £450.

Hi end phones of [today] have settled on a standard of:
4.3" plus with a qHD resolution
1GHz dual-core SoC

but remember, the N9 still isn't available to buy [today], at best it will be available from Oct and maybe November before widely available in most markets.

the standard for phones of [tomorrow] against which the N9 will spend the majority of its life competing against will be:
4.3" to 4.7" screen with a qHD to WXGA resolution
1.2GHz dual-core to 1.5GHz SoC

right now, before the N9 is even released it is an upper mid-range phone, by the time it is widely available it will be a lower mid-range phone.

it should come with a mid-range price.

if hdmmi its probadly a "special edition" means the "originalversion" until Elop decided to remove hdmi to make sure n9 doesnt compete with his failing strategy...

That's correct. Another problem I have noticed with the browser is that you cannot upload files (or choose where to save downloaded files individually), because you cannot launch a file browser. This problem may be specific to the N950, as there is no stock file browser. I don't know if the N9 will have a stock file browser, or whether it will be possible for a third-party developer to have their file browser launch when the button is clicked.
