I am thinking about going with Digitech... but I would rather opt for a cyan one. The offer I got today for a 2 yr contract extension was 40 SFr better than when I asked them for a quote a month ago, which really suprised me.

Anyway, I'm still contemplating... Especially because right now I don't feel it's a complete replacement for our beloved N900.

Good grief. "devel-su" to go superuser. Password is "rootme". vi is available by default, nano and other useful bits are available if you install "utilities" in the developer mode screen.

So I asked Rene at mobile city some questions about the N9 and told him I would post his answers on here. He said it was ok.

1) You have only the black 16gb version listed for pre-order why not the cyan or magenta?

We don’t post the rest until we are sure of what we have in stock.

Do you know which variant your 16gb will be. The variants are listed here

http://mynokiablog.com/2011/10/03/no...ireland-model/

No I don’t, the first models that we can get our hands on are the ones we going to listed.

3) Do you have an idea when you will get them in?

We have an email alert for each item that is preorder, if you don’t want to lock the preorder price you can just leave your email, and you will be notified when the item becomes available.

4) When you get them in will you immediately change the pre-order to available please?

Yes

5) Some might order from you online that are not in the US since Nokia is not delivering to their country, would they still get the free shipping deal if they pre-order?

If no can you give approximate price range of shipping by continent?

We don’t ship outside the U.S. except Canada.

6) Will you be able to get a hold of a volume of them or will you have very little to sell? Feedback on the web seems to indicate you will sell out quickly

no matter how much you have.?

It all depends on our feed back or the amount of preorders.

7) Can you say what area in Europe your N9's are coming from?

Not at this time.

I've got a question for N9/50 owners. Is it possible to do x-forwarding as a server? i.e. to show Harmattan apps on a linux box? N900 lacked this functionality.

Also does anyone know how multitouch is implemented? Standard multiple xinputs as in gnome or some closed source trickery?

Still debating on which size, 16 or 64GB. Since this has mass storage mode, i usually do a backup & delete pics & vids on my devices. Any idea how much memory apps will eat up ? Advice please, thanks....

I can confirm Negri electronics expecting shipments in next week also, for anyone in the US wanting to order.

No clue on how much or when but its the only place I have heard of having any clue about getting shipments.

Steve jobs dead? Is this true. Wow. Sad news.

Yes it is true, he was only 56 WOW.
