Does N9 play subtitles just like N900? Thanks.

Talking about Swipe - Robert Scoble - who is a self-proclaimed Nokia basher (and rightfully so) was shown a Nokia N9 and its NFC magic and he came out positive about the new "Decent OS" by Nokia (on his Google+ feed).

No hard info really, so sorry if I made you all excited! I did however get a confirmation on being chosen as one of the 30 testpilots for the N9 in Sweden ! Enough to make my blush and giggle like a little girl!

I'll tell you everything about all/any info I receive I promise!

i were in the middle - I didn't ask any questions as my reason of being there were only to try the N9 hand on again(i've also tried it in early august i think). However i were in the same row as the middleaged man with the N73 or something asking quite a few questions - I were the young blond guy sitting almost next to him

I were interveiwed by the camera guy so if im unlucky i'll be on the 3 site commentating on the event.

My personal impression was just like you (and as the first time i tried it).

Great browser, quick camera start-up time and shooting and more than one active sync mail acount. These are my primary uses...

Even though the case is plastic (poly-something) it feels great and lays "ergonomically" in the hand. The feeling is like it is a mixture of plastic and some sort of rubber. It doesnt slip out of your hand as the N8 or iphone(4).

And yes the vbk is great both horizontal and vertical mode.

About the N9 and DLNA i just wrote what the Nokiaguy said, and as I understood it, he was more keen on setting it to the tv-out (3,5 jack) or usb mode than DLNA. I agree, however, that it is weird if it cant do the DLNA properly in 720p.

You are the chosen one!

That wasn't an engineer, right? DLNA UI work was slated to future releases. N9/50 are both capable to do 720p DLNA streaming over wifi, no issues with that.

Just saw this...

Isn't Nokia an international company? They should tap their whole distribution network before they offer a different OS based phone, in my opinion.

Even when OQO was going out of business, they still found a brand new OQO 01+ to send to me upon not being able to fix it. And it came from Japan - sealed up.

Simply stated, not even 1 year - check the posts about alternate phones being offered - look at how they were offering that as early as 1 year after N900 delivery. And it's becoming more widespread.

That's not cool at all.

ROTFL that devicee is a downgrade if using N900
