Why i said????? that does not have meego, they said because it is better all round than the N9.

Now when 8 staff members tell you this you begin to question your own thoughts trust me on that one.

I counter your anecdotal evidence with mine: Every Nokia employee I've met who's worked with an N9 and a Symbian/WP7 phone has gushed about the awesomeness of the N9 as compared to the others.

I don't actually know what kind of old software or prototypes were on display where you were. All the production devices should have 1Gb memory and MeeGo 1.2 harmattan version 1.2011.34-1 (Or later). What version did the ones on display have? I've never seen or even heard about any called MeeGo 1.1 Harmattan before. That PR can't have been updated since may.

Hold up, what do you mean 1gb memory?.

They all told me 512 installed, i am confused as well because as i said none of the devices will show the full spec when you get into the about section.

The swipe does indeed only work from the very edges of the screen and not in the middle.

You can swipe every way all sides but you must do it from the edges.

What can't you answer? I was wondering what version the firmware was. It's written right after the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan text in the settings -> about product screen.

I have tested and used N9 over a week now and I have to say that it's the best and most faultfree phone ever.

All Iphone owners used it have said thet the typing sense is better than Iphones.

Excellent device.

I agree with you here as i could also not find a fault as such, everything i did was solid in all fairness to the device.

In answer to the software versions, yes there is a version number but i got carried away with the staff and forgot to write them down.

Just take it from me the 16gb are 1.1 and the 64gb are 1.2 versions.

ps: didn't you say you were leaving TMO a while back? Oh well, we're all used to disappointment these days......

Funny today are we? New name and new clothes, the rest is the same: Will never be finished, will never attract anyone except a handful of die hards, same Linux. In essence nothing but a rip-off off Jolicloud and/or WebOS, but a very poor rip-off.

Anyway, that wasn't my point. My point was that the N9 runs Harmattan, Maemo 6 essentially, whatever happens to MeeGo is irrelevant wrt the N9.
