Yes, I have a couple of third-party file managers installed on my N950.

I suppose Nokia would say that there's 'an app for that'. The problem is that there are many sharing services that will not be supported by plugins or applications, so there is still a need for that functionality IMO.
Nokia, I am disappoint.
Saw story the other day that demonstrated how rendering perf. is better than the "Nokia Browser".
Can't believe this basic functionality isn't in the stock browser, how freaking lame can Nokia get!?
It'd be nice if we could finally freaking hear from jolo right about now.
He was doing performance testing of Fennec/Flash, & even some UI integration work IIRC.
I hope that doesn't mean dumbing Fennec down...
At least some of the file managers are open-source.
But it seems like there may also have to be a re-write of the stock browser's UI.
Farking hell....

If I can't by it outright via local retailers (instead of on contract via telcos) until Nov+.
And it's out earlier anywhere else, then I may be buying it overseas.
I was planning to wait till Nov+, but as we get closer, I get oddly more desperate at wanting it sooner.
**** I hate Nokia, I have a strong suspicion this will be the last ph I buy from them, EVER.
I mean seriously what the hell do they think?
When Apple releasing some new HW they GIVE A DATE then people sitting outside the shops that day for HOURS wating for it to arrive in sweden it rained like hell when Iphone4 was released and still people stand there.
But Nokia "ohh well lets see maybe we have some phones for u septemebr. Ohh wait sorry first of october. No wait mid of october ohh no not this we where just kidding u haver to wait to end of october... NO WAIT you have to have our nice new WP7 instead its sooooo good you will get a sign from Elop for free"

Anger growing....

Saw story the other day that suggested it renders more quickly etc.

Text re-flow is also a bit slower than the stock browser. It's certainly not terrible by any means, but I would choose the stock browser for general browsing, using Firefox only when I need the extra features.

extra feature being bookmarks? That's exactly the sort of thing I expect updates to address from Nokia.

A couple of words, then: "N9! ...Maybe?"

Marxian said that uploading a pic via the browser might not be something out of the box capable.
Being unable to load up a picture to (let's say) Twitpic.com, that is a major function in my opinion and if I can't do it via the browser as I tend to do in other mobile browsers, then I will have to hope that it can do so via other means out of the box.
I find issue with that.

God knows why Optus are prioritising SMB customers.
It not like there's going to masses of businesspeople lining-up to get this thing.
Most of the telcos & official retailers are only offering the 16GB, & Vodafone's only offering the 64GB.
If I can't by it outright via local retailers (instead of on contract via telcos) until Nov+.
And it's out earlier anywhere else, then I may be buying it overseas.
I was planning to wait till Nov+, but as we get closer, I get oddly more desperate at wanting it sooner.
