Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote

Yes.

You seem to be using XBMC wrong. You need to tell it what kind of media you have in different directories, and then let it scan your media, extracting meta-data it can (e.g. ID3 etc.) and...

Re: Nokia Q4 results are out. Lost $ 1.4 Billion. Now what Nokia will do ???

This is quite obvious, as the N9 wasn't actually launched/officially offered in the US at all.

In South Africa (which got the N9 quite soon after other countries, launched in late Oct 2011), the...

Re: I like aegis. No seriously!

Or SELlinux. Or AppArmor. Both should be a 'make config' away on Harmattan (though of course some other components would also need to be built with specific support for them).

Re: My N9 CANNOT smoothly playback the videos taken using my N8 camera

So, I really wonder what Nokia thinks 'Business guy' does when he is not working. Or how 'video guy' or 'camera guy' can afford to buy a premium-price phone without having a job that requires him to...

Re: Urgent is NOKIA repos are DOWN?

I would guess this is due to the PR1.3.1 update being pushed.

Maybe I'm not paying attention, but you seem to mostly be basing your assessment of portability based on the fact that Skype support on the N9 doesn't have video support.

Are you implying that...

Yes, the 'normal' (X11 for desktops) Linux UI for Skype is in Qt.

Re: N9/N950 Email/Mail for Exchange - Get help & give feedback here

Yes, UW-IMAP has this problem.

I had it *years* ago with some IMAP clients, and then configured it to use a subdirectory of the users home directory for mail to avoid this problem.

Re: N9 [Shipping]: It's finally here [for some]!

There is a reason. Marketing.

Not just contract, but network infrastructure. In South Africa, 42Mbps towers are all over, but AFAIK the highest speedtest.net download rate on any of these was still under 7.2Mbps.

No, CDMA is used in other countries as well (China, India, Nigeria). However, many non-US CDMA carriers use, or are required to use, RUIM cards (SIM-equivalent for CDMA), but the US carriers don't...

Re: N9 [Shipping]: It's finally here [for some]!

In South Africa, 21Mbps is already "old", the supposed "leading" networks provide 42Mbps, the operators who are trying to get more market share with lower prices are at 21Mbps.

Re: N9 [Shipping]: It's finally here [for some]!

Cannibalisation of WP7 sales by N9 is better than losing those sales to a competitor.

Cannibilisation should only be a problem for a monopoly / volume sales leader.

Re: N9 [Announced]: It's [NOT] finally here!

Is it worse than Gargale, Fremantle, Harmattan etc. (which are equivalents)?

Most likely the marketing name will be something we know already (Maemo, Meego, S40).
