[hayman]

Lindegaard allready has one?

Envy him :P .

hallo ,
have fun with your N9,
how is the quality of the video call throught skype ...?

thanX

[slai]

mainly wanted to see if you can put in an username and password. put in something random and let it fail, if it does fail thats fine. had issues with it working on the n900.


Went fine, except it said that the username "bbqwtf" and the password "orly" didnt match anything they had any record of.

:)


edit: Video call through skype i havent tried. Might try to get that tested tomorrow for you if you want?

I cant see anywhere I can make a video call at all, strangely...

Also, no voice recorder preinstalled as I can see.

Now: taco evening with the little lady, Ill download a voice recorder and see if that works :) .

Also gonna see wtf is up with video calling.

[erendorn]

Hey there is an "IRELAND UK" version... if I can't ship the phone to the UK from there, it shouldn't be more than 50£ to ship myself to ireland and buy one.. cool.

Ebay guy sold 2 phones already and has upped his price £25 to £595! Meanwhile continental shops are £140 cheaper if you wait a week, meaning folks are paying up a lot for only a few days' exclusive.

I did ask him to provide pictures of the box.
His answer.
Please look at my feedbacks, i don't scam people. Plus you have buyers protection from ebay, so you don't have nothing to worry about.


Don't get why would he not post those pics.

Go here and you'll see they are having some issues with cross application calls and video calls.

So I guess they are still working on it.

You can also see an explanation for why if you go to html5test.com on your N9 it will now show a lower score of 255 instead of the original 283 because the testing rules got changed.

(Firefox 9.0a1 on N9 apparently scores 314+9).


Mulvad
The reason is that on html5test.com they have decided to not give points in the "User Interaction" category under "HTML Editiing" as it doesn't work in most mobile browsers. It does work in the N9 browser though and I have tried to reach them to understand how the score can be corrected. If anybody knows how to get in touch with them, I would love to hear about it.

Wikipedia lists HSPA+ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_HSPA) as a 3.5G technology. LTE-Advanced and WiMax are the only 4G technologies they list.


That's not the case. HSPA+ is officially referred to as 4G by the ITU. Therefore it is highly unlikely to support HSPA+ if it is referred to as 3.5G because they would have been able to put 4G if it did.

QtWebKit 2.2.0 is released
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/09/29/qtwebkit-2-2-0-is-released/
Qt SDK update and the Nokia N9 <--- :)
http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/09/29/qt-sdk-update-and-the-nokia-n9/
To align with the Nokia N9 release, an online update for Qt SDK 1.1.3 was made available today.

It introduces the following improvements:
• Updated Harmattan target, Beta2, to correspond to the most recent public firmware release of Nokia N950 Developer Device. This version of the target is still considered experimental, but it can be used for developing apps for Nokia N9.
• Qt Creator 2.3.1, with support for app booster for N9 software and fixes for Symbian on-device debugging (CODA).
• Fix to ensure that Qt Quick components work in the Simulator for software targeting the Nokia N9 smartphone and Symbian phones.
• Symbian Complementary package improvements with an updated qmlviewer.sis for Qt 4.7.4 and NFC support in the QtMobility 1.2 sis file.

Developers can obtain this update by running the Update tool of the Qt SDK.
Qt Creator 2.3.1 released
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/09/29/qt-creator-2-3-1-released/

@Marxian
Noticed this in the comments for the QtWebKit 2.2.0 post:

@Manolin: There may not be a 2.3 release, since we would most likely bump it to 3.0 for the new Qt major.
New QtWebKit features (for Qt5) are taking shape on WebKit trunk right now...
Just a few hours ago we were discussing how to expose download functionality in the new QML web view API’s.

Improvements to the stock browser WRT d'load functionality not far away?
Not sure what the roadmap/timeline is for delivery of Qt5/QtWebKit3...

[scapegoat845]

screenshots also work, taking requests =)

writing this from the n9 btw =P

A few things, pics or vids please:
How do u exactly take the screenshots ?
A video demoing the videocall would be nice.
Does it have mass storage mode when plugging into PC ?
Battery life(Maybe too early to test, i'll wait)
Is the Track and Protect app built in ? How are the features ?
Features & ease of use on Email: Adding attachments, adding multiple recipients, etc.
How is the VKB compared to other phones ?

Thanks in advance....

[Vaskinn]

Slai:

Screenshot of bluetooth settings please.
Does it handle multiple BT headsets well?

edit:
And if you have any kind of bluetooth keyboard available: Does it work? Does it show the vkb or not when a BT one is attached.

Really hoping for a third (or first) party bt keyboard fitting the N9.

Thank You !

[slai]

Hm compared to N8 and SGS2 multitasking is of course a lot better and intuitive. faster as well. other than that I have to see for a few days how the device handles during regular use, really.

Keyboard is better than the N8s, but still shares a problem with the special characters, mostly exclamation mark and question mark which are not on the qwerty page of the keyboard, but under specialized characters. not a huge deal, but id prefer a swiftkey x like approach with longpress to activate alternate characters like those.

As for videocalling i havent found that yet, at all.

For screenshots i downloaden an app from ovi store called "screenshot", simply enough. basically you launch the app, swipe it back, navigate to where you want your screenshot, then cover the proximity sensor of the device to take the picture,

mass storage I havent tried yet, and the device comes with track and protect, though i havent activated it yet.

Email... i havent done much of. adding multiple recipients is extremely easy from your contact book, you basically select whatever number of people you want when choosing recipients, and theyre all added at once.

Attatchments is insanely easy as well, very nice email client indeed.

Bluetooth settings:

Dont have a BT keyboard. Ive got an N900 though, maybe that would work?


Coolest thing? Dunno, probably the multitasking. Just swiping **** away is pretty nice. Still getting used to the device, and havent really gotten a chance to see how it works seeing as how its so new. After a few days of general use Im sure Ill notice things that shine abit more than right now.

[jalyst]

@Slai
Does the N9 have a multicoloured LED for event notification, similar to the N900?

Do not take QTWebkit 2.2 as something "fresh" cause its not, its based on Webkit1 not Webkit2 the one used on N9...

Just sharing the dev news tis all ;)

[slai]

hm i cant find a setting for that at least...

So annoying that the battery's got an even crappier capacity than the E71/72.

I was browsing the manual -oh, the anticipation-, and I think it said that when you put your finger over the shift-key it shows the specialized characters; then without lifting your finger off the screen move it to the special character you want to type. The keyboard will return to normal characters after you lift your finger.

Is that what you were after?

[slai]

that doesnt do anything, sadly.

How long is the charger cable? Similar to n900 cable?

I hat short cables.

yeah the one included in C7 is biggest joke EVER. around 10cm(3inch) WTF!!!

I hope its not THAT short!

http://www.noknok.tv/2011/10/03/nokia-link-available-now-for-the-nokia-n9/I am very disappointed that this article writer constantly referred to the N9 as your Nokia N9 Symbian smartphone. That's a pretty sad mistake to make considering all the news about the uncertainty of the N9. On the other hand this Nokia link stuff seems promising

[slai]

doesnt look like it supports checkins.. hm..

[tissot]

Damn... couldn't resist... just bought one.

....we are two then. ;)
It's 20 euros cheaper (+the bt headset) than what you can get it anywhere in Finland and it's 10 days till it comes here, so i figured why not.

Also it got the EU warranty.

The keyb is multitouch; you can press the altkey with left thumb and tap with the right. It is fast that way.

There are 16 retailers in the list, I can copy the list here as soon as I get home.

[danramos]

Sound like a nice device BUT why that ****ing Android!!

Android everywhere sick of it!

Give me real Maemo+QT!

Whose fault is that? I'm happier to see it running an OS that has support and updates and a future.

Dan, I don't even want to know where you get down to need 3G/4G, hopefully not on the train otherwise I'm going to be highly suspicious of anybody who opens a broadsheet and uses their phone.

You've never taken public transit before, have you? :)

Ive got an N9!!!

Pictures or lie.... oh ...ooooh... pictures. So much for that. :) Good show... thanks for sharing.

[aironeous]

Damn... couldn't resist... just bought one.

I emailed him to add the U.S. to places he will ship to and I'll buy one and he took a little bit too long to get back to me because i fell asleep and when i woke up he said ok deal in return email but then when I clicked on the auction he already sold them all to you guys.

Well I asked him if he can get more to come on to this thread.

[jotoco]

Just got an e-mail from the Nokia Brasil online store saying that pre-sales will begin in the end of october and direct sales will begin in november.

I know that jotoco went to at least two different physical Nokia stores here in Brazil and was informed that the N9 will arrive next week and only people with unoficial pre-orders will get it due to limited availability, but a representative from Nokia Customer Care sent me an e-mail last week saying that the N9 will be widely available and publicized in Brazil. She even sent me a list of more than 10 retailers that should get it once it's available.

Let's hope that the managers of the Nokia stores jotoco went to were only trying to push pre-orders by fueling these limited availability stories.

Actually if you re-read my posts you will note this is true for the São Paulo store, on the Rio de Janeiro Store they said it would be available early november, not october. Maybe there was a change in plans during the time frame (last sunday and the sunday before it).

But both Stores cited limited availability and only 1 run. As I said, it can be to drive more pre-orders (which will have a nice bonus acording to the RJ Store, but it is NOT a bluetooth phone, they didn't say what specifically)

I can't seem to find a good way get my hands on one in Ontario, Canada. Expansys still has not listed a price or date and frankly I am kinda scared what kind of price they are going to put up, Ebay scares me, and I don't know of any unauthorized retailer I can drive to.

Word for word that's how I feel. Except if I have to fly somewhere to get one, I will. Argh.

I have heard rumours of gray market importers in Mississauga for other flagship phones - so it's possible it could happen with the N9, but doesn't feel likely given what an incredibly limited amount of information Nokia has yet put out about this device, and it's no good popping down to Best Buy USA cos I somehow doubt they'll be stocking them there (unlike the N900, which they did).

My girlfriend went to the Rio de Janeiro store today and they gave her info that's in contradiction with the info they gave you.

I'll call them tomorrow, ask to talk to the manager and see what he tells me...

By the way, these were the retailers mentioned in the official response i got from Nokia Customer Care last week:

For those of you not familiar with Brazil some of these retailers are huge and I don't think that they'd get any N9's at all if the limited availability rumors were true.

Glad to see folks starting to get theirs finally.

Now... anybody find out if multiples could be purchased for the good of this community? Or shall people ignore that?

I'm still trying. Nowhere closer today than yesterday. Meh.

I'm quite sure I'd be able to buy multiple N9's as soon as they're available here in Brazil.

Problems are:
1. It's going to be the most the most expensive N9 in the world.
2. Shipping costs to the US will be high and you'll probably going to have to pay some kind of import tax.
3. You won't get support from Nokia USA and Nokia Brasil won't ship it back to the US after a repair.
4. It seems that the first batch of N9's is not going to be available before the end of october (for those who somehow manage to unofficially pre-preorder their N9's now).
5. The first batch will only have the black 16 Gb N9, apparently.

[aironeous]

please post a link to the seller so we can look!

you already know he is going to be like....WTH....i cant get nough of these to sell!

I already posted the ebay seller see the last few pages and people quoting my post.

The N9's were sold already, auction is over.

Here in Aus, HSDPA will provide a max theoretical download speed of 7.2Mbps
Phones like the SGS2, with HSDPA+ will support a theoretical max of 21Mbps.

Both run on Telstra's "NextG" Frequency @850mhz, however makes no real difference as Telstra throttle their network to give a real download speed between 500Kbps and around 3Mbps.
Phones like the SGS2, here in Australia will never really get to utilise their theoretical maximum speeds, as the Telco's will use bandwidth throttling to maintain network redundancy (and thus save money on investing in infrastructure upgrade works)

Whilst it seems like our friends across the water like to market HSDPA+ as "4G", do the Telco's there actually support this with real maximum speeds on the Frequencies they run on?
If not, HSDPA+ may not be of much use after all.

Some good points, thanks for sharing!!
I wonder if any of the other major networks are any different, probably not.
Just a correction, N9 HSDPA's max theoretical is 14Mbps.
And for SGSII, I think you mean HSPA+ (AFAIK there's no such thing as HSDPA+)

by the way, I got an email reply from Elop:

"Hello there,

We definitely intend to support our customers so that you can safely enjoy an N9.

And regarding WP, we have a great deal of flexibility in the changes that we can make; however, we believe a great deal of the success of the broader WP ecosystem will be in the consistency of both the end user and developer experience. Thus, we will be very thoughtful about the nature and degree of changes that we make.

Regards,

Stephen"

As bland as I expected, really.

Totally skirted around your question/s & our concerns about the N9.
Admittedly there's a host of questions that need to be asked, that weren't.
Personally think it's best left that way, unless we put them to some other senior person/s.
I knew he/they'd focus way more on the WP response. :rolleyes:

Since Best Buy tracks all shipments online live, you could just go to bestbuy.com and search for Nokia N9. I already did it... they don't even CARRY it, nevermind stock it. heh I've bought a LOT from Best Buy online and in the stores. (One time, online ON THE WAY to the store using my Galaxy Tab to buy a new laptop before I even arrived at the store. BOOM... paid and done.) Inventory is tracked wonderfully on their site.

All that said, if they don't even list it, they won't have it at all anywhere.

Brazil is shafted by the Brazilians...

We have some ridiculously high import taxes, service taxes and industrialized products taxes. On top of that, we have the greediest capitalists and the stupidest consumers in the world.

Final result: we always pay exorbitant prices for everything industrialized, even for things that are manufactured in Brazil, like cars, digital cameras and... iPhone 4's, just to give a few examples.

EDIT: By the way, Nokia is probably the top brand in Brazil when it comes to cell phones, even though Apple and Samsung (with the SGS2) have been gaining lots of market share recently.

That page has been useless since the beginning.
MNB's been keeping a "rough" tally....

Unity games announced they will be bringing their games to the N9
http://thenokiablog.com/2011/09/29/nokia-n9-unity-3d-games/
Check out the video second game they incorporated numpty physics like drawing into the game, pretty cool if you ask me.

But are we really talking games of the same calibre as Infinity Blade (http://www.epicgames.com/infinityblade/) for e.g?*
A quick scan here (http://unity3d.com) would suggest no, but man I'd love to be wrong.

N9's got the hardware to run games of this beauty, it just needs the right dev houses.
IB runs beautifully on my iTouch 4G, which is slightly weaker than the iP4 IIRC.

*it came out about this time last yr IIRC, but has had constant updates since.

Who makes the suction cup joystick for the iphone and can we get it for the N9?

Nice idea.

It's even funnier how a marketing exec/community "hero" is in the US and is unwilling to ask anybody that might have some say or ability to do a damn thing; all while asking people to support his endeavors and grant him validity to his position via this community or through their efforts.

Oh well...

[jalyst]

Nokia Australia is no longer listing the phone as available soon and the full product support page is now online.
Appears as though release is iminent then!

First shipment of Nokia N9 for Australia has arrived and is going through customs right now.
I don't think shops will be able to get them in this week. But at least it's in Oz. =D

You will be surprised how quick product distribution logistics can work.
Going through customs on a Tuesday can still mean reaching stores on Thursday - but that depends on the logistics/distribution system that Nokia uses with their retailers.

I tend to agree. My guess is possibly Friday, more likely Monday.

Because once people notice that anna is basically just new icons and nothing else, they gun be PIIIIIISSED. Belle tho is quite an improvement, at least the leaked crap Ive tried. Its like miniandroid. works, but worse than android and maemo6/meego harmattan.

curious as to what would be the changes in my device if i flip on developer mode, if any.

IIRC Anna was suposed to have substantial changes under the hood.
Whereas Belle was way more UI centric. Can't recall the details now.

If you are quick, you can ask questions directly to the Danish Nokia product director here:
http://www.mobil.nu/nyheder/chat-med-nokia-om-nokia-n9-stil-dine-spoergsmal-nu-1.486592.html

So far he has said that n9 is completely open (if you enable root/dev mode) so i.e. alien dalvik will be possible to implement.
More interesting, he has written that there will soon come an update for n9 with new features

As far as I know its just AV out through the jack plug, and ofc the usb cable into a TV, much like any memory stick, which some TVs can play. Which would be whatever quality the video file is in.

Also; DLNA support through an app, its not finished yet tho.

in the past, I used the same way for calendar items and contacts.. In preparation for my N9, I changed everything to my online hotmail account.. This is way better then built-in agenda of outlook.. For pc and phone, you can set it up like an MfE account. You always have all your contacts (just login on your online account on every computer to see calendar and contacts), it can be synced as you wish, so every pc/phone has automaticly the same info..

I suggest you use a gmail or hotmail or whatever account and do the same:)

Yes, I know about that possibility. But I was talking about my company's calendar. If I would sync that to Gmail or somewhere else, I would most likely get kicked out of company due security policy violation...

MfE is an option, but it has internal costs in our company (=hard to get approved nowadays). Plus I only need to sync calendar, I don't want to pollute my own phone with work mails. :)

I just checked the price on the site: 659CHF (shipping excluded) is correct for the 64GB version. And the price is with tax included. Now whether you'll have to pay taxes in Hungary, it depends about the customs in your country, but I would say that if you have to pay taxes in your country, you can ask the Swiss taxes to be paid back to you...

Will order the 64 GB device from digicom.ch tomorrow at CHF 649(+ 2-4% if payment is with credit-card), but let it send to the address of a friend in Switzerland, because they don't ship out of country, but however more important is that so I will pay only 8% VAT, while it is 21% in Italy. This also saves me the shipping costs and customs. Then I'll see how I can make it pick up someone from there. According to today's telephone information they have not received the equipment till now.

[slai]

It will request a key, but its just not true at all. If you try, youll notice theres a "w" in the code, which cannot be entered at all.

Me and the other guy buying the N9 and the manager at the store stood there for an hour working on this before I just went "okay, lets try popping in my microsim from netcom and see what up". And it worked flawlessly.

Could be an "early devices" thing where some fresh models arent locked even if theyre supposed to be, then the lock comes into place later on in subsequent deliveries, that happens a LOT in the business, as Im sure you know :) .

Just my own opinion, though, so you better check how it really works...)

If you enter the land to which it is to be sent, then it automatically pulls the 8% from Swiss value added tax, but the delivery to Italy for example costs about the same amount again. According to information, customs duties and value-added tax will be levied in any case if the goods are shipped by airmail. If the delivery takes place on land, however, you can be lucky that the package is not controlled, otherwise the customs duties and value added tax will be levied.

Yeah I know, my simcard was the first simcard in the first unit they sold there. It was for another guy, but still. He didnt have a microsimcard yet, so I let them try mine to check if the device was locked.

I do, however, have a problem connecting to my wireless at home.

The wifi scanner finds the connection, when I click connect and enter the WPA preshared key it just says "Somethings wrong with the network connection".

Worked fine on my SGS2.

Any thoughts?

Wifi broken on your N9. Send it too me I fix it for you ;)

[afaq]

Reboot your modem. That sometimes fixes it for me.

ordinary review comming up!!

[slai]

Mike: ill sell it to you, though. or trade it for a magenta one.

afaq: tried that seeeeveral times when the same thing happened on my N8, Was never resolved :/ . On the N8 the error message was "unable to find network" or something along those lines, though.

Seems they updated this page and some high-profile games as Need For Speed, Real Football and The Sims 3 are coming to the N9.

[slai]

Games preloaded on my device: Need for Speed Shift, Angry Birds Magic, Real Golf 2011, and Galaxy on Fire 2.

Forgot to mention that.

WPA2 with password works great on my N950 so it should work.

[deadmalc]

Grrr... anyone found an online shop in northern Europe that sells it?
As warranty would be EU wide ;-) so I don't care where it comes from

[slai]

I know it should. Yet it is not. Ive got a gigabyte wireless router that a friend gave me that he had laying around.

Northern europe? Sure, try Telenor.no.

Or the danish! They have 64gb or so Ive heard.

I already asked some of the online shops in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. They replied in English, but all told me they won't ship outside of their countries... :-(

Don't see the cost actually.. when you make it possible for 1user, everyone can use it on the same principle.
Btw, you can choose to only sync your calendar or only contacts or only mails or any combination you want:)
No fear that you will have to work day and night :D

Well, our dear IT-department still wants few euros per month for that joy... Mickey Mouse money from pocket to another. :D

Mail sync can be disabled in MfE, that is true. But its a bit overkill to have to pay for using MfE only calendar sync. Although it would not be my money. :)

I'd also like to have local Outlook sync. MfE is enabled for us, but the problem is that our Exchange server enforces PIN-lock of the device after 15 minutes... I hate this... imagine: You swipe your lock screen away and then still have to enter a code... that's totally breaking the flow...

I can understand this security measure when syncing mails, but I also only want to do Calendar entries and for this entering a lock code every 15 minutes is something I don't want...

[erendorn]

If I'd wanted to be spied by some i-love-snoop-on-your-files-in-the-cloud-big-brother, I'd go android/iOS/WP7 way.

I need an option to keep _my_ info on _my_ computer/phone.

You can be your own big browser and have your own cloud (http://www.sogo.nu/english.html)(with likely one drop in the cloud) ;)

[smegheadz]

with regards to your wifi issue:

try changing it to use different ranges instead of just G or N, do you have a ps3 on the same wifi? few friends found they can't connect to their wifi on certain devices when their ps3 is powered on. i can't remember what it was exactly but i do remember it was something to do with the channel used and they switched to using a,b,g instead of just 1.

i had an issue with some devices before and it was my router settings. i changed them and picked a channel that was a few out from the common ones used and it worked fine after that. friends devices didn't have any trouble connecting to my wifi with my ps3 connected either,
probably not going to be the same issue exactly but it's most likely your settings. hope that helps in any way.

as for the sync with outlook through usb, i'd like that also. i can't use mfe for my work email/calendar for security reasons, and i won't be able to ever, but i would like to sync my calendars.

[abill_uk]

WOW it is sooo good to see you guys really getting onto this N9 and looking at all the excitement i would say for sure this is the best device Nokia have EVER produced.

OK mr Elop are you REALLY going to stop meego development or are you prepared to be stood against a wall and SHOT !!!!!..... the choice is yours mr :D.

There is a FULL firing squad among the members on this community who will willingly volunteer for the job FREE OF CHARGE :D.

I am the first volunteer :D.

[delmar]

same thing for switzerland :/

Try highdefinition http://www.toppreise.ch/index.php?a=239418

[abill_uk]

Anyhow for EVERYONE that needs to purchase the N9 then i have a definite answer for you BUT it will cost you a trip to BKK.

Today i found out there is a shopping mall called Seacon square in Srinakarindra Road in BKK that will have 3 shops selling the device in there hundreds and all models, they are available from the 15th October.

So if your prepared to fly to Thailand you will for sure get it, the price IS the lowest i think in the world and you can check this out with Nokia in BKK, all it will take is a phone call and the rest is up to you guys.

I might just join you and go there myself to get one ;).

[Hihu]

Elop in Helsinki consumer electronics exhibition: "Elop firmly believes there’s room for third option next to Android and Apple, but as Nokia’s Windows Phones are nearing in he also got time to mention N9, that he sees a device that’s totally different than what anybody else got out in the market now." (http://nokiagadgets.com/2011/10/04/elop-nokias-windows-phones-announced-in-few-weeks-multiple-devices-in-q4/)

So - is Elop step by step taking back what he has said earlyer? More support for n9?

[olympus]

blah blah blah.. i wonder which one i'm gonna get first, samsung galaxy note or nokia n9.

[smegheadz]

dont really care which you buy first. but its nice to see you contributing in a positive way to peoples posts. its easy to be negative and pick holes in things.

see? :)

you're right but it's hard to stay positive all the time when you want to buy the damn device but there's no shops here that sell it, no dates, no nothing. so i'm just wondering which device will come here faster and i'll be able to buy first:)

takes a big person to admit fault. respect given for that.
i know how you feel, ireland is a massive question mark on when it's available or how it will be available. my clever plan is to get gs II sim free from my operator as an upgrade they keep hassling me to take. then sell it straight off the bat. use that money for the n9 when its out and i can afford it.

[Pierre Manslapper]

they should have implemente a rad-counter, alco-intoxi-meter, hormonometer + opening phrase suggestion software.
Oh and a keyboard of course.

Sounds like a good plan, i hope my operator will have the n9 cause i don't want to give 700€ for a phone.. and i'm getting more and more anxious every day because my n900's vibra started failing again and the OS is starting to get really slow and unreliable (yesterday i had to reset the device because i couldn't hear people i was talking with - never happened before) and i don't have the nerve to reflash it.

Oh mighty N9 please come quickly... and with Adobe Flash! :D

Question to you - o priviliged one- how is "Share pictures online"?

The out of the box experience of N900 was the greatest to date for Flickr users. Select multiple pictures and batch upload to Flickr.
Surprisingly the camera phone of the past year N8 missed the good old Symbian "share online" had to do it with unpractical and insecure third party software. Today one still has to use pixelpipe

Harmattan based, N9 does equal or better than N900 I hope?

Also, did you test the Skype "video" already ? :rolleyes:

Thanks for any input and sharing of experiences.

Why didnt i think of that. SGII !! is the most 'valuable' phone on the market right now I take it. If you or anyone else here does get a new contract in the UK with Vodafone drop me a PM - I can have you added to my 'friends' list and get you 10% of the monthly bill.

[smegheadz]

from what i recall there is no video calling on skype for the N9 yet. probably a similar case to when the N900 first came out. there's videos floating about and reviews of the photo sharing, from what i've seen it's as awesome as the n900 for that. in work now and lazy so can't paste any links.

from everything i've read it seems the n9 has features not finished or enabled but can, so i would expect added functionality with the future updates.

does that 10% go for ireland too? i'm not with vodafone ireland,
over here our contracts are hardware contracts so unless i upgrade i'm on a rolling 30day contract because mine ended about a year and a half ago. i can change my plan every 30 days if i like, i've used my "quiting the network" to get good deals with my bill pay plan, like money off my monthly bills :D

don't vodafone derp the phone with their own firmware? so even if it's simfree your still stuck with their custom version?

[aironeous]

I have a silly question.
CAN ONE OF YOU GUYS WALK INTO A STORE AND BUY 5 OR TEN OF THEM AND THEN SELL THEM TO US HERE?!
YOU CAN MAKE A LITTLE MONEY.

ok thanks, have a nice day.

[afaq]

Vodafone had no custom version on the N900 (though i re-flashed from the UK to Global). However on the N97 they did have some rubbish.

I plan on getting the N9 sim free and then getting a sim only contract with either vodafone (as i get corp discount) or with 3 - who do unlimited data for £25 a month on a rolling contract (which you said you have).

I am not sure if it covers Ireland but if you're interested in joining voda let me know and i'll check.

I'm trying, and trying but you just appear to be talking in a marble-mouthed jumble of letters with lots of misspelled or ambiguous words. I accept your apology for what I think might have been swear-words in there somewhere, I think.

As you so eloquently put it: "im no.1 iphone hater!" You, for one, are CLEARLY not an iPhone hater! Understood! That's what I've been saying! The iPhone is for people like you! And I desperately URGE you to take advantage of the spell-checker. You're welcome! Anytime!



Well Dan,obviously ur not from IT line,else u shda un the words i said..in our world,simple short term wuf b enuf..il not argue wif u on spellchker cos it il waste my time..hey,ur in an online open forum,not in ur txtbook for gods sake..man im wastin my time talkin to a n*rd..

Iv been moddin my symbian since half a decade,i like to customize n utilize my fone to the limit..i cudn do tat wif an iphone,cud i,period..which is y i hated them from ground up!

if ya can beat the plan i have i may join.

€75 a month (incl VAT), unlimited calls and txt's to any irish number mobile or landline. 5gb data. it txt and call alot :)

sorry mate. in work, ebay's blocked. just put in a search for it on ebay, i doubt he's still listing as the other n9's for sale were gone within a few hours.

yep already checked ebay.dk and not any N9 available :/

thanks for the tip anyhow :D

[clovis86]

yes from brooklyn ?
and it's pre order :/
dont wanna put so much money and have to wait a month or worst never received it lol :confused:

[erendorn]

I still consider that the 30-day rollin' 10£ unlimited data + 100 minutes is a steal if you don't talk too much.. I'll keep that and pay the n9 upfront.

Edit: and OT but flashing the n900 is really easy...

i was on a lower package with 500min and 500 any network txt, unlimited calls and txts to same network. i was running up a bill of 150 average a month. i txt and call ALOT,

Edit:
thats why the N9 appeals to me with it's good battery, good reception and good vkb, the iphone vkb is good and from what everyone has said the n9 is just as good but excels in it's phone abilities. it has to be a phone for me then an internet portal.

no mahjong, sadly. no video calling yet, though ive forwarded the question to the nokia head honcho in norway.

picture sharing is very easy to picasa at least, and by extention flickr.

not sure what you mean with the harmattan question though?

[somedude]

with the front cam not even available to use with camera app this sounds like a N900 all over again. and as stubborn are the management are being about not making it available in NA, i think i am kind of having a second thought. and there is another issue of warranty, on the past all the nokia phones that i have purchased was always on my trip to asian countries or in europe and i did not really care for warranty then as nokia always had a top of line hardware with almost no issues. but my last nokia N95 8gb had a slider problem and Nokia usa didnot wanted to fix it because N95-3 was not available as of yet. and then came N900 which i got lucky that it was officially sold in usa since i almost wnt through 6 of these due to some hardware related problems.
its only 20 minutes left before apple shows what they are showing today, and atleast when apple talks about their products they give exact time i am able to buy and i know for sure that the countries i go to fixes my apple products even though i purchased them in usa, and they also mak sure that if there is any hardware present in the phone consumers can use them unlike nokia.
everyone talks about voting with your wallet and i guess its about time everybody vote against nokia by not buying their products and going to their who ever the biggest rival is to show that even before stake holders you need to satisfy your consumer base.

Lets hope so :D heading for the bar soon. Might sell it for an Iphone after a few bears ;)

*ahem*

[tissot]

Lol, people are furious over at engadget. :D

Got a say, exact same looks, new CPU and GPU. I would have not traded my already sold iphone 4 for that.

[bbin]

ifans are soooo disappointed :D Poors things.

Apple share falling rapidly.

[gaichuke]

I thought iPhone 4 already has great performance around the whole OS.

For what exactly is the new HW used for?

[giorgosmit]

@tissot: Well, we can safely say now that the iphone chages cosmetically every two generations. And we know that it will sell like hotcakes eitherway.

[mikecomputing]

Reading from mobil.se

"The new Iphone will now have upto 14Mbps" now was that already possible with N9 too?

"The antenna on Iphone4S is better than Iphone4" WHAO fantastic!

"The camera is 73% better than before" is it bnetter than N9 thats the question?

"it supports both CDMA and GSM" WHAAAO SOOO IMPRESSED!

NOT!

Well well this shows N9 could still have a chance. Only problem is the braindamaged Nokiaboard....

[tissot]

@tissot: Well, we can safely say now that the iphone chages cosmetically every two generations. And we know that it will sell like hotcakes eitherway.

It will sell in tens of millions in matter of months.
But it's still disappointment to us who don't passionately hate everything Apple and just wanted the bigger screened, Apple flagship.

Still possible that they announce iPhone 5 later on. Because at this point when iphone is the norm, they need phone with smaller screen as well.

[mikecomputing]

@mike: yeah, and you can probably get a smile on your face for once.. like the rest of the iPhone owning ignoramus out there.

*ahem*

wuut?

Does the 4s have 1gig of ram? If not i will be laughing my *** off. Overclock the N9 to 1.5ghz and you'll have better performance.

Or not..:)

Anyway, it seems the N9 will be the nicest piece of hardware for some time.

[smegheadz]

anyone else remember the whole pc war? saying it had x amount of mhz and ghz and full of crap? the smartphone world right now looks like the pc world then. "ohh comes with norton and ms works and a printer and a mouse!!" amgaaaaawwwd i want it'z it has more ramz and cpuz. anyone remember the ram limit on xp and people buying more ram then it can use hahaha. or using their powerhouse pc's for emails and writing shitty comic sans invite cards.

pheww went off on 1 there. but yeah i remember all that and it seems like were at it all over again with phones. nokia should just offer cake and a printer with their next handset haha and a scanner and more ramz ;)

edit:
check on the more cpuz with the 1ghz phones
check on the more ramz with the 1gb ramz

just need the printer scanners and ms works!

Who cares. It's very impressive to be able to talk to its phone. I'll still be happy with just clicking on the map icon and typing "greek restaurant". Especially in a bar or a busy street.

Not saying it's not usefull, seems very nice for appointments and stuff.
Probably excellent for people that work in their car. But no regret.

was just thinking. since the N9 used a different camera sensor (from what i could understand in damian dinning's article (http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/27/damian-dinning-on-nokia-n9-imaging/)) could someone use instead the whole sensor instead of the rectangled off areas so having a circular image (http://cdn.conversations.nokia.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Nxx-sensor-specs.jpg)?

anyone else remember the whole pc war? saying it had x amount of mhz and ghz and full of crap? the smartphone world right now looks like the pc world then. "ohh comes with norton and ms works and a printer and a mouse!!" amgaaaaawwwd i want it'z it has more ramz and cpuz. anyone remember the ram limit on xp and people buying more ram then it can use hahaha. or using their powerhouse pc's for emails and writing shitty comic sans invite cards.

pheww went off on 1 there. but yeah i remember all that and it seems like were at it all over again with phones. nokia should just offer cake and a printer with their next handset haha and a scanner and more ramz ;)

Yes thats why I REALLY hope the rumor about meltemi actually is about "Maemo" I would mind if the go Linux with "only" 1.2Ghz TI Cortex CPU. I mean around mid of 2012 people may say thats "lowend devices".

Here's what someone at Nokia Converations just posted, pretty-much spot on:

The Apple way of making announcements:

Here is the new ipod nano, available in stores now;
Here is the new iOS, iOS 5, available for update on 12 october;
Here is the new ipod touch, available on 12 october;
Here is the new iPhone, iPhone 4S, available on 12 october.

All that in ONE week.

Now the Nokia way of making anouncements:

Here is the Nokia N9, Best smartphone in the world, will take longer than 3 months to reach stores and will NOT be available in big markets.

I'm definitely not an Apple fan, but this just goes to show why nokia is failing.

Iphone4S comming to sweden 28 october.

Now lets see how many will get N9 until that date?

My guess is 4 persons.....

[somedude]

well after the keynote apple sealed my second thought. i dont have any thoughts anymore. can i get N9 in USA yet?

[Hydroponies]

I went to a (different) mobilezone shop in zürich today and was told (again) that the actual phones are arriving next week. they had a few N9 dummies for me to play around with though :)
Here is what i think of the colors:

"Magenta": it is pink. Really really pink. From the promotion pictures on the web i thought it would be more of a pastel-color (and a bit dull), but on the dummy-phone it was very flashy. (Maybe not for me^^)
Edit: on closer inspection the mediocre display of my laptop is to blame, the promo-pics of the N9 look much better on my Eizo screen

"Cyan": Brilliant, i love that color. It goes very well together with the deep-black screen (still a dummyphones screen though) Back looks good too, i had the fear the camera module would look awkwardly small when paired with a light color.

"Black": it looked disappointingly dull next to the other two colors. it also isn't really black, it is more like "dark grey", similar to (i think) the E7 and N8 "dark grey" versions. It looked meh compared to the deep black of the screen. Maybe a flashy lockscreen on a working N9 would help...

(The black dummy had some weird scuff marks on the plastic next to the "glass" screen which made me wonder if it's made of the same supposedly high-grade polycarbonate the production devices are made of, maybe they'll vastly differ in color too...)



I don't really know what to do now, i've pre-ordered a black 64GB version three weeks ago and it should arrive any day, but somehow it looks a bit dull (but still great compared to other phones) and i would kick myself if a few weeks from now there would be a cyan 64GB version available.

So what should i do? Is there any info yet on the (non)-existence of a cyan 64gb Nokia N9? :)

How abot TV-out? Does it support HDMI 720p or not?

I gather you've only just started following the N9?
No 480i only (i.e. standard definition) via the 3.5mm jack for countries that use the NTSC standard.*
However streaming of 1080p using DLNA + 802.11an MAY eventually be possible, or at least 720p.
You'll need a media player or TV that supports DLNA, & has 802.11an built-in or is addable.

*in PAL/SECAM countries it's 576i

[Lindegaard]

Jaylist. Its partly true, Nokia has failed because of symbian and poor hardware (i.e. n97)

[smegheadz]

I gather you've only just started following the N9?

i can't wait for all the new threads of "hellllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppp"
as the title haha. remember the n900 release??

oh and the complaint threads about the retalers and telcom providers. the trolls won't know what to do with themselves they'll have so many threads to infect with their existential nihilism. should add trollisitic nihilism to the definitions or existential trollism haha.

[mikecomputing]

I think the admins of this forum should cleanup all the rants and whining (including myself) and FUD

When the device is release we dont want to scare away new users from this forum or N9. Better Elop doing that not we!!!

(Thats why I should learn to shut up on Meegosweden too so it doesn't give that bad reputation as this forum. Meegosweden has weekly new members now :O

from know on I will shut up.

for 10 seconds...

[marrat]

Hm... if everything goes really well, I could have my N9 by Saturday :D

[jalyst]

Ofcourse we dont get those problems its Linux.

Even N900 without CSSU works better than symbians peace of **** :(

(make me even more angry WHY Did they npow realise this already 2009 and whiped out symbian and go Maemo! Damn symbian fanatics inside Nokia! I blame them for the WP **** strategy!!

Annoying thing is, there's still a rabid Symbian base, whom are constantly chanting for Symbian over Maemo.
In most Nokia related stories, in the comments section, you're almost guaranteed a majority of comments like:

Please can we have Belle now, and please bring C, & D, & don't worry about WP!

Most of them don't even know MeeGo/Maemo/Mer exists, or care.
It could've been so different, if it weren't for the whle N900 cock-up... sigh.
