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.

My thoughts and sentiments exactly. :)

Re: nokia n9 vs iphone vs samsung s2

Man.. the world's full with Iphones.

At live gigs , I see iphones. At restaurants , I see Iphones.
Greek beaches... full with iphones. Night clubs..Iphones!!

You really want to be part of the mass?

Aren't you sick of it yet? I am.
Think different!!

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.

yup, i have to agree with u on that part. iphone lacks a lots of thing without the jailbreaking tweaks. for the n9 part, i dont know what actually happen, but after i flash the phone, the phone seem to be a lot more responsive now. seems like my faster n9 tweak dissapeared after flashing. is it common? and when i installed back the faster n9 tweak, it lags like before. uninstall back and it working perfectly fine now. is there some bugs on the faster n9? seems like the flash firmware dont go along with faster n9. actually i dont even need the faster n9 now. the flash firmware seem to fix the original firmware problem that i encountered back then. :) battery life is super good and the phone is a lot more responsive now.

Re: nokia n9 vs iphone vs samsung s2

I doubt we'll see a 1.4 and beyond as Nokia let go of 10.000 employees wich includes most of the people relating to MeeGo.

If IP 5 gonna beat the N900 in useability they need to put in a fm transmitter, mass storage mode, IR transciever, bluetooth file transfer and stuff like that.

As it is a smart(play)phone it beats the N900 in that point, new games, better snap and edit pics apps(I'll leave out gimp on the N900 wich is better thsn everything else but not fast in access and performance), console like gaming with giro scope wich is pretty cool in some games, etc.

If I could merge my N9/00 with a 4S i would do it and the only things I would take from the 4S is the camera, giro scope and app store. The rest would still be from the N9/00.

I prolly switch to IP 5 when it comes out as I see myself being more and more a casual user of a smartphone.

I will atleast keep my N900 as I still use it alot and the functions I use it for I can't find in any other phone, not all if them in the same phone that is.

Yes flashing the device removes all installed 3rd party applications. I also don't use fasterN9. Under PR1.2 it made my phone sometimes unresponsive (especially when open apps). PR1.3 feels fast enough, so I haven't tried out fasterN9 anymore.

Great that your phone feels more responsive now :)
