Try opening 5 apps at once and get back to me on that.

Example: I have a LG G2x Dual core and if I open dolphin browser and 2 youtube apps forgetaboutit it is freeze and slow crawl.

Or even dolphin browser and stock browser and anything else
or any combo of any 4 or 5 apps it's just f'n lame slow crawl freeeze.
It's that lame arse.

Multi tasking score equals 4 or 5 on a scale from one to ten

You seldom hear that category of judgement on a phone review from a guy that has a nerdgasm hard on for 200k+ apps of android.
Android leaves apps open like a kid leaves candy smeared on its face.
Supercalifragilisticly lame. Seriously I don't know who thought up this method of "leave apps open all the time and bog down the CPU as much as possible" but it's f'n lame.

I'm ready for N9

Now this is the kind of advertising I wanna see Nokia do more of

Not really, but me likes the eye-candy

Around Christmas...

Anyone remember the old CD-ROM game Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?

Feels to me like N9 is Carmen Sandiego, except you can't find her no matter how many clues you find or questions you answer.

OK, so it's a lame analogy, but it's at least as valid as anything else that's been posted in this thread.

Is this pretty-much exactly the same store client they'll be using on the N9?
Do Symbian & Harmattan share basically the same code-base in this area now?

So my old guess about Android is dead end of 2012 may be correct...

In Finland N9 in shops 13th of October

Any update on the battery yet?

Whats the big "omg wtf when" about it?

Ive ordered mine, its being sent on friday, Ill have it by wednesday =|

The guy I talked to at Nokia Norway said they shipped the phone to Telenor (the operator that has exclusive rights on the N9 until 2012) the first of september.

Telenors confirmed release date is 30th of September. Which is on friday. So I guess they will ship it friday or maybe monday.

For the record, I paid 2800 norwegian crowns (NOK) for the phone, with a plan that costs 99 NOK per month for 12 months, totaling in at about 4000 NOK.

walk down that bridge often and the day they filmed this I'm not around? Not cool
