damn. now you guys make me really wanna cry for not being able to attend yesterday.

Not sure what do you mean, but the build quality is darn good, solid and tough. Eda from Nokia, throw the phone on the table a few times, and it was not "gentle" throw, it's like you're furious and angry (e.g. phone annoyed you) and then you throw it hard. She did it couple of times, everyone was SHOCKED and feeling the pain! Give it to ussssssssssss

Darn, I was thinking to take picture of it and play with it LATER after you know, the heat gone down a little, but the N9 were no longer available. I only get to hold it ONCE

Anyway, was busy taking photo, didn't notice you're testing the phone, if not maybe can record the video of your hands on.

Not sure as I don't have SGS2, but it's solid and very nice feel and to hold.
Eda from Nokia, threw the phone on the table a couple of times. Read top post for more detail.

Any idea about battery life? I know nobody has it long enough to test, maybe use N900 as comparision? Is the OS battery draining or as energy efficient as Symbian

N9 build wins hands down.
But that doesn't mean SGS II build quality is bad

Nope.The SGS II will be with be with me for a long time.I need a proper phone with me now.
I'll try to work on something to get my own N9.

Eda actually gave the N9 1st to me
I tested the phone when Eda was talking to everyone.

This I cannot answer.Need a regular user to make feedback from daily usage.
But I think the battery should be better than N900.

Build quality Nokia still wins usually. SGS II is just not classy enough when you hold it. But it's still pretty decent. I didn't compare to N9 but my previous Nokia seem more nicely made compared to SGS II. Don't compare what's in the hood though cause Nokia is just a shame.

any idea when we will be able to buy the phone? any date announced?

Early October. This makes Malaysia among the first countries to get it. But is it true that only 100,000 units will be produced worldwide?

Ah, good, good for 'rough' & rugged usage people like me. Hope ur green robot serve u well.
N900 could last a full 18 hr day? Sorry, I dont hv an N900 & not a tech geek.

ohh. nice. hope i can get one before my holidays are over. 100,000? thats like little right?

back from meego event last nite.smoother than any single core android.very tough,thin,light weight.didn't notice any disadvantage so far.

NoOOOOooooooooooooooo
It seems this phone is the beast-est beast ever D:
Jeez.. wonder when will Nokia put up those demo units on their outlets >.>

I think should be 1st week of October.

With moderate usage can last 2 days.

High demand low supply = craze and value stay or increase

High demand high supply = no craze and value depreciate

Ok people, on the way home, I went to ask the Nokia authorised dealer(it's nearby).
Expected availability : 7th Oct.
Good news is there will be 3 colours available for 64 GB , BUT they dont know which colour will arrive 1st. If 16GB, all 3 colours will have stock on 7 Oct
If purchasing under contract, only black will be available for 64 GB. That's what the salesman said, better you all go check at Digi, Celcom if want to be sure

I thought 16gb available in magenta and cyan only and black is 64gb? Now is 64 gb for all colours? Is there 16gb for black?

good news i guess. wonder how to ask with the telco dealers? go to their centre?

i think all colours available for 16gb.

Original announcement was 16 GB=black, cyan, magenta. 64 GB=black only.
Now 64 GB have all 3 colours

With moderate 480p avi watching, music, 3g and wifi, then yes. I pernah tibai all of them from morning then start work with half battery and just keep a light usage while at work. Battery can still keep alive even at 0 for quite some time... on idle that is.

What I'm trying to say here is that if you use the N900 for basic needs a lot then it has a good life. Most of us N900 tards get only so much of battery life because... I bet several of us use it as if using our PCs or laptops

Before PR1.3 my phone cant last even a day OC @ 900mhz. For the Nokia N900

With PR1.3 no problem lasting a day with my online usage of FB, twitter and msn

Since N9 is AMOLED should be able to last a day or more

I bet some of you do. My normal moderate usage 'only' something like 2 hours web surfing/emails, 2 hours 720 p video, 1 to 2 hours hour calls/sms with 3G on throughout. Symbian can go 2 days like that, no power saving also no problemo. All the heavy duty stuff, use PC, can see better, specs power increase already
So, in that case, N9 should be quite boleh in battery dept
