I don't particularly hate WP7. But like Android, iOS and other before then, they can't handle my pace. I like, and use, multi-tasking a LOT. Even my n8 can handle multi-tasking better than the competition.

I can read my social networks or email while I download a youtube video and wait for some webpage to load (conection here is really slow, so what makes browsing slow is the network, not the browser), all that while my maps is routing some way and listening to music. I could state some other activities that I could be doing imultaneously on that 680MHz piece of crap, and not one other phone (other than n900) can do this half as well, even with dual cores and gigs of ram.

It is usual, for me, to have 4 or 5 browser tabs open, visiting another site while the first is loading. And music is something that I use my phones a lot for.

Another thing is doing all that while on a call using speakers or external ear-phone. I do this very often.


In sum, when Android, WP7, iOS and all those crappy OS's graduate from being a "phone" OS to being a mobile computing OS I will probably jump this sinking ship, but for now I HAVE to stay... Oh, and when those ****ers learn how to make a frigging camera on a phone, because a n95 STILL makes better photos than 99% of the competition....

The N9 as we all know does not have the pull out K/B but it has the proccessor power along with enough ram to make that difference.

It is VERY thin and lightweight and the screen really is tough as hell unlike that of the N900 but as you said the N950 could have been and still could be its sister with updated hardware.

I doubt the community will be able to handle once again futher development of the N9 because of its closed components, so once again it does not get to be the "great" developing community everyone wanted and needed.

I really do need the N9 in my possesion to be able to get a proper feel for it as one thing i did want to check out i couldnt because of being inside a metal enclosure stopping the gps working properly.

I did note you said the N8 you liked and was multi tasking very well and probably why i was told by the staff the N8 was the best so far... hmmmm strange as i have never owned or even played with this device.

Oh well i will watch this and other threads with interest as to the dilemma's people encounter regarding this N9, i know in a couple of days i can own one but i am resisting and will not buy one for myself.

Dont know if there is a word or excell program or pdf program for free to read documents. are there multiple exchange accounts. does N9 provide provisioning with corporate email. do contacts automatically appear in the email as you type in the name of the person you are sending email too. are the email folders separate as compared to N900 where everything was lumped together. is there a notification light. how strong is vibration alert. can you adjust the font of the text so its preset on large fonts. can you use google maps like on symbian.......
