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

read it carefully, it's the first bt4 ready smartphone device to hit the market. doesn't mean the first to have it. but it's beside the point. it's how they market it that makes the difference. and by 'it' i mean the phone.

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

Who cares.. BT on iPhone sucks! you can't send pictures/files unless other iphone users have the same app. not worth talking about it;)

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

I don't really see what's the fuss about the different bt versions, and how it could be a huge marketing opportunity etc.

To me other features are much more important, and I'd expect this to hold true with the majority of users seeking to buy a new smartphone. I might be mistaken of course, and I'm not saying that it doesn't matter; it's just not that huge of a deal IMHO as these endless bt4 vs. bt2.1 discussions are making it seem.

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

Can't do it in WP7 either. But being the "first" in anything equates to marketing to folks that know too little.

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

I can add those folks to the ignore list easily.

What are you trolling about today guys?

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

Can't remember, it was about a week or two ago. The price was stil 699 though for the 64GB

And the only one to have it on for preorder as far as I know. Also the only (major) one whose salespeople do have a clue. In operators stores I got either "I know nothing", that you-dont-know-what-you-are-talking-about look or "you must mean N8"

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

The N95 reportedly sold 10million units in the first year (enormous number back then)

But there was never any community support, scarcely new features backported from later symbian releases (by the community, nokia continued support long enough) and no custom roms ever released. Compare this with the N900. CSSU, Nitdroid, MeeGo CE, Kubuntu mobile, debian, shr, backtrack and the list goes on... The community supprort is tied not to the total number of sales, but to the actual number of developers that buy it, (if it's a geek device the proportion of devs - power users that have something to contribute is way bigger so actual sales can be less). Anyway I wouldn't want to have the only N900 in the world, but I wouldn't be more content if everybody had one either.

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

Perhaps the 100,000 number is real..........letting everyone interested in a phantom phone for very few to pave way for the main show: NOKIA windows phone

I didn't know they had it for so long on their site. I just moved and had no internet access(the horror).

And lol at you asking at operators stores. It pisses me off at their we know you're a ****** so we're gonna fvck you over attitude.

On my way to work there's a Nokia Care I have been meaning to ask there but never had the time (I'm always late :D )

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

about bt4 cant qoute cause webkit
textbox bug.

but I still dont beleive n9 has bt4 hw.
to ge bt4 support the chip needs to support dualmode cause 4.0 is not backward compatible.

personally i dont give a **** what a local nokia salesperson may had said. i want facts from an engineer who can confirm there is another chip besides wl1273. the only thing we are sure about atm is that driver atm i using wl1273 and nokias specs today says 2.1 everything else is still hopes and/or rumors.

some engineer did actually say there where flashsupport but as we know that ended to be wrong atleast for the released devices. it could be similar with bt4... remember that nokia.is in bed with microsoft now....

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

Just got back from Stratford Westfields, London. Usually I'd be all excited and giddy like a school girl when I see phone stores but not anymore. The largest mall in Europe has zero Nokia presence. A little sad but it is what Nokia made it.

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

Yes it was, in fact if you go back enough on this thread somebody posted the link. I was all excited until I saw that coming soon label. I did ask at operator stores (I know, I know...) as well as at Public and 2 Multirama stores.

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

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

And how do you know for sure that the chip isn't wl1273l?
lspci isn't necessarily the gospel in that regard...
It wasn't a "Nokia local sales person" as you put it.

It was the product/tech marketing manager, but yes it "sounds" like it's not so concrete.

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

I know what you mean. I spent some very confused minutes in Cosmote, trying to make the salesguy understand what I meant. He gradually understood, after we eliminated the possibility that I mean the N8, N900, and (bizarelly, he was acquainted with it) the N800.

The tethering is working fine, needed it yesterday for logging into corporate VPN because of on-call support. My ThinkPad R400 took the provided WiFi without any issues.

About logmein.com, the browser can open the site, but that`s all I could test, cause I don`t have an account for that.

Interesting answers to Konttori's latest blog post. Improved wifi reception in PR1.1, folders support to home screen coming in PR1.2....

Damn was hoping PR1.1 but I guess it'll be mostly bug-fixes & performance twks.
Oh well, better than never ever coming...

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

As Konttori said, due to delay of the N9's launch, PR1.1 should be ready, so 1.2 is before us within few months.

I think them answers just locked in my decision. It's mine...

You're a brave guy. What did the iphone lovers at public tell you???? I've checked their site and the N9 is not there.

This is cutting it close.

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

I've got a picture of the N9 in the gallery so that I can avoid those conversations.
An even funnier moment was last year when I wanted a second N900 and I went to vodafone to ask if they'd got one. The salesperson took that Nokia's-have-two-numbers-you-idiot face when I took the N900 out of my pocket. He clearly had never seen one, and he was a bit curious but he didn't dare to ask to have a look it. I walked out smiling :)

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

They told me they did not know when it's coming but I believe they had never heard of the phone. I don't trust them anyway, they had been telling me they'd have the Nexus One for sale which was never the case, they had it there as a teaser only.

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

Stupid Nokia. It shouldn't be this hard to buy a god damn cell phone seriously lol. I really really hope plaisio actualy gets it at the end of the month as they say on their site

I hope you get yours by tomorrow. Mine still says it is in NJ :( Maybe it hasn't been updated? Mine should be heading your same direction, because i'm about 80 miles away from Santa Clarita.

I am trying to procure one from Dubai. Will see what happens

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

Well, I don't think people line up for any other company's products (except possibly the reputed limited Galaxy SII $2 sale at a Samsung store which is directly opposite an Apple store for the days leading up to the iPhone 4S release).

This is something Apple does very well, a coordinated global release within days of an announcement showing good innovations, with the start of sale date announced during the announcement.

If on 21 June Nokia had announced that sales start on 28 June worldwide, and listed the retail shops that would have stock on their web site, I am sure you would have seen people line up.

And if Feb 11 had announced that Symbian was being phased out in favour of Meego, with Ovi/Nokia Store only accepting apps in Qt that build on Meego, I think they could have built an ecosystem bigger than WP7, especially if they had followed N9 up with larger tablet within a few months.

(In South Africa, the most innovative bank in terms of support for new technologies has been launching banking apps for various platforms over the last few months, starting with iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and now Nokia (I guess Symbian) - so far no WP7 ...)

In the end, IMHO, it's not the 'ecosystem' that was the problem, there were many more factors at play in Nokia not being that successful recently. And, if they aren't addressing the other factors, I doubt the 'ecosystem' 'advantages' of WP7 will allow them to recover market share.

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

Maybe with the troubles of the past their WP launch will be smoother.

Then again, Im quite sure that when I change from Maemo6 I will probably go for WP, and if I go for WP why wouldnt I go with Nokias phones if they are up to par HW-wise . I guess time will tell. Im hoping for some carl zeiss action, etc.

But that has little to do with the N9. So to on-topic myself: they need to look at my bug reports and fix both of them asap.

Also: cant wait for the update, seems like its going to be a lot of "never mind the man behind the curtain" stuff, which is great!
