Dude what store is that???? Plaisio.gr changed the availability from coming on 30/10 to coming soon? Where did you get it and how much?

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

It is from vnp.gr, a store at Ag.Paraskevi that always gets phones that are not available in Greece from abroad. The had four of them (16gb, black) and they got sold out while I was in the store. It is an import, they got a UK charger, and they gave me a not-so-good adapter. There is no greek language input so far.

I had called them on friday and left my name there. They said that they would have it by friday afternoon but they didn't call, instead they called me this morning to go get it. It costed 590€. I had bought two motorolas from them in the past, but I thought I should wait to see it with my eyes before I post something. Unfortunately, two of them were already reserved when I got there, and then a guy walked in and bought the last one while I was waiting for the guy there to renew my vodafone subscription. I had called birdphone.gr and they told me they have one, but I know nothing about that shop. I didn't go there because they couldn't subsidise the phone.

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

yes, I wanted it too, or atleast a color, but money was a factor, and so I decided to pull the trigger on th 16. I always have my N900 with me anyway so I got plenty of storage.

When you put it on it's back, the contact point is the chrome inlay around the camera lens. Mine shows already minuscule scratches.
My 1st N900 is still like new,I love it so much that it never actually fell in an uggly way like Marxian describes about his N8.

Had it not worn an otterbox for most of it's life, & if I wanted to be anal retentive about it.
I could point to numerous spots on my N900, where it would've easily gotten scratches.

I probable won't be able to bring up the same respect for this cheap Lumia clone anonymously running Maemo.
The only funny thing is that the new Windows phone sports the same "screen forward design" Grab my Amoled silicon boobs.
But hey the 800 is the hastily produced sample give away batch. The best is yet to come in 2012.

You're trying hard to 'get a rise' out of people nowadays, aren't you.
That's all you're gunning for....
Every single one of your posts, in various other threads too.

What are you talking about??
Everyone knows there probably won't be another Maemo/MeeGo device from Nokia.
There's a remote chance w/Meltemi that it'll continue on mid smartphones, down to bottom-end featurephones.
But that's still very much "up in the air"... And even if it does come true...
The specs for the highest end Metelmi, may be just too anemic to be appealing.
Unless the overall OS/UI has improved in "leaps & bounds" by that time.

No there probably won't be any more devices like the N9 ever again, so all we can do is enjoy it while it lasts.
I'll also be enjoying a Nexus or SIII, & then my 1st WP, or maybe an iP6 instead.
If the Tizen phones have started to shape-up sufficiently, I'll give them a squiz before my 1st WP or iP6.

Yes, I have.

Certainly possible, but not as easy or fast as the N900 for sure; I make more mistakes typing on the N9 anyway, and certainly more when "tired & emotional" ;)

The one thing from the N900 that I really miss in the course of day-to-day operation (i.e. living with it as a phone/communicator/music player etc.) is the arrow keys for correcting what I just typed. The drag-zoom thing is great but it's no substitute.

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

^ You may already know this, but thanks to N950 users...
Arrow keys have been confirmed as coming with the VKB, as part of the Swpe update.
