iPhone 3GS? WTF?
When I was buying my N9 I had a chance to use iPhone 4S for a week and I can tell you there was nothing to convince me the fruit is better, except for the AppStore, obviously...
and Siri? the concept is alright, but I see no real value off it other than using it with maps in car...which is out of question as iOS has no free offline maps whatsoever...maybe iPhone 5 with TomTom?
my gf has the iP 4S and everytime I pull out my N9 she begs me to let her play with it so she can swipe all day long:)
and SGS2? Honestly, I´ve never seen uglier smartphone than that...
N9 is HW-wise simply the sexiest phone out there (with Lumia 800, of course)

and you can trust me, I´m no damn Nokia fanboy, there´s just nothing what´d convince me to switch N9 for anything else...at the moment

Lol, u should try the jailbroken iphone.. It a different story once u tried it.. There a lot of tweaks u can use to customise the iphone. Personally i'm not a fan of apps store. Not much u can do wif it except to download games. Try using cydia.. I love that stuff. There a lot of repo u can add.. Can even hack it to download free games. Lol.. Dont look down on iphone 3gs. Eventhough it's an old model, it can still perform a lot better than many other new phones out there if u know how to tweak it.. Actually u can ask ur gf to install the zephyr tweak on the iphone if she wants the swiping function. It's similar to n9 swipe.. I myself am using that stuff on my iphone and loving it.. Soo smooth. :D u should try using an iphone with this tweak, webscrollian, zephyr, fakeclockup, sbsettings, kill background.. U will see a lot of difference once u use it..

Re: nokia n9 vs iphone vs samsung s2

applying the same rules as your above post, once you customize the n9 to the extent we know it can be done, it blows iphone3gs out of the water...

if you look through the nitdroid instructions, you should not be extracting sillyboot on your pc... transfer the archive to your phone (regardless of it being able to be opened using WinZip on your PC) and then work further..

the best forum to go to is the source: www.forum.nitdroid.com

everything else is just a rip-off...

Edit: on your point of the chargers, if your samsung charger can charge it faster it means the nokia charger is not in exactly good condition and not the device's fault...

i tried copying the file exactly like what the video said but my phone cant find the file..

my nokia charger quite new actually, still have the plastic layer on it. i tried using the iphone adaptor too to check wether my nokia charger spoil or not but the iphone charger is much more worse than the nokia charger. took 3-4 hours plus to fully charge. i guess my nokia charger is perfectly fine just that the samsung one is much more better. nw sticking to samsung charger to charge..

Re: nokia n9 vs iphone vs samsung s2

All those comparison stories... :rolleyes: Of course you can compare phones, but at the end it's important what the user likes most. I'm happy that we have the choice of different phones, because everyone has individual needs.

Before N9 i used iPhone4 and iPhone3G. Now I never, ever wanna go back to them - to me N9 is so much better and simplifies many things for me. The iPhone was pretty much unusable for me without jail-breaking and modifying the user-interface (plus installing many apps since the OS lacks many features). I also had much worse battery life with iPhones and there was always something which upset me.

The N9 excites me still as much as it did in the beginning. :cool:

My girlfriend uses Android - but she would love to have a N9. To many things don't work well on Android (Skype calls, multitasking, calls crashing/interrupting in a bad way running apps) and the system just doesn't work and look as neat as N9.

But N9 has its problems too, even with PR1.3 it's sometimes still a bit laggy + minimal support by Nokia. Furthermore before PR1.2 update i wouldn't have recommended the phone to a noob. And btw: I'm not using any tweaks on my regular N9.

So have a look again to your N9, there should be solutions to improve it (battery life etc). But ask: "Which phone is the better one", won't help you, since it needs to fit your needs.

Re: nokia n9 vs iphone vs samsung s2

Performance is one thing, that aside, it is a rather rare device, and i love that uniqueness, especially in countries where it was not launched. A unique device with a unique operating system

And I believe it is a rebel among phones... If you know the history behind it... The end and beginning of many things... I think theres many reasons behind me buying this phone and i am very proud of all it is.
