Thanks to Apple. They really changes everything. The managed to brainwash many people and make them think how they want them to think.
Not true; There's always something called OPTIONS.
That is, turn off FLASH for those that don't need. Or by default, turn it off, then for those who understand the risk, they can choose to turn it on.

Don't get brainwash by Apple words; They don't provide the support, they give "excuses" and make people believe and think how they want people to think. Sadly, they successfully done it easily with simple words.

lol, flash is proprietary anyway (yea, for those who are concerned about FOSS thingy) and you don't need it to access most sites, and it is actually up to the developer to decide whether to ship their browser with flash support. Being popular (yea, I know flash is ridiculously popular) do not equal vendor support automatically.

To be frank, even before Apple stopped supporting flash, it actually already brought in more problems than benefits to end users, eg. the super high resource consumption, security holes etc.

another web technology that should be mentioned but I am not sure if it is supported in the default browser is java applet support.... (although I don't miss it)

Apple are such control freaks. Wasn't it Apple who pioneered the micro-SIM to stop users changing operators? Other elements of control are:

Tied to itunes for file transfer
Tied to itunes for apps
No bluetooth file transfer
Opaque directory structure
No micro-SD card
No user replaceable battery
No flash
No FM radio
Use of torx screws

WP7 has also adopted many of Apple's control strategies to its detriment. Come to think of it, even N9 has many of the above.

well, at least N9 users can live without Nokia Link and Nokia store?!

people keep misunderstand what Dolby digital plus is for.

1st its for output
2nd you need the right output device that can decode it.

The speaker quality is just average

Dolby® Digital Plus, or Enhanced AC-3 (E-AC-3), is an advanced surround sound  audio codec designed specifically for evolving media. From home theaters and PCs to mobile phones and online streaming, Dolby Digital Plus defines high-fidelity audio.
Dolby Digital Plus gives you access to more content and lets you experience explosive surround sound for movies and videos.

Enables a superb 5.1 surround sound experience through a connected home theater
Unlocks the full audio potential from movies and videos
Delivers superior audio quality for a richer surround sound experience
*
does this apply to audio files as well?
i have my songs ripped into Apple Lossless format, so do I have to re-encode it to AC-3?!

hmm.gif Apple better prove this by comparing iPhone 4S with Nokia N8's pictures.

Overall whatever iPhone 4S can do SGS II can do it.
Only major thing which in my opinion really stands out is the voice recognition.
*
don't get too serious with salesman talk lol~

the voice recognition and natural language processing stuff (perhaps with some machine learning stuff, that's why they require data connection) is really impressive though, especially the way they chain multiple related commands together

i was eager to have this phone as the os is new and everything...
yesterday i went to nokia at lowyat and test the demo unit...yes its fluid and smooth...just like sgs2 and my hd7 wp7.5....
i hold it in my hand and test it about 15 mins...the camera is nice but other than that i dont feel eagerly want to buy this...and im not a fan boy or anything...just the hype doesnt get me
*
the os itself is not really new considering the kernel itself was first released back in the 90s
even maemo started like 2005?
lol
i wonder what are you looking for actually lol
a cellphone that makes coffee? *sarcasm*

can i use N9 to send MMS & video call without taking any data plan?? n only charge me the video call n MMS rate when i use it......

bcos from what i know, iPhone 3 & 4 cant...it need to hv date plan only can do that, otherwise ur tel bil will be... shocking.gif

you can survive without data plan for iOS devices if you are careful, I would probably use my N9 (t-2 more days~) without a data plan since I am always covered by WIFI.

ya, is charge at telco rate...but what i want to know is can N9 like E71, which can make Video call n send mms at telco rate, eg video call RM1/minute n 50sen/mms...and connect to the internet when need...

unlike iphone, it will automatic charge the data...i hv heard many cases, which their bill increase alot (cos no data plan) n i no intention to sign up any data plan so far...what i need is to video call, MMS, surfing net when needed.
*
there's no video call support as of now, at least no 3g video call and skype video call out of the box but nokia said they are going to include it later
please stop spreading fud, unless the owner is not careful, otherwise using iDevice would not cause mobile data usage shock... (which i think is the same thing for all devices out there)

I'm not sure I'm following here.. are we saying N9 has no 3G Video Calls support at all, or no 3G Video Calls support without data plan, or what?

If there's no 3G Video Call / MMS out of the box, I will probably cancel my intention to buy N9.. dont want to end up like N900 and rely on 3rd party software to do something any basic phone should be able to handle..

In fact I was willing to buy the phone on the spot as soon as it came out, but now I'm having doubts.. maybe I'll wait for a while for more user reviews to come out.. I need a full-featured phone that can handle everything on a day to day basis, and so far I'm hearing N9 doesnt support this doesnt support that doesnt have this doesnt have that.. not too encouraging! sad.gif

Then again, maybe I'll buy the phone on a whim just to piss Elop off and help the Meego team prove their point.. that Meego aint dead and is a viable platform..

We'll see on Friday when its officially available!
*
there is no 3g video call as of now, but Nokia said it will be added in subsequent updates. Skype itself doesn't support video call for now too, not sure about future updates. related readings: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=3781

meanwhile, this can be used http://nokiagadgets.com/2011/09/09/peregri...-in-to-one-app/

What store is that? Is it under Nokia banner, official store, which only sells Nokia phones; Or some other shop?
If it's official Nokia store, the BH-505 is written there as free gift for 64GB.
If non nokia official store, I believe you can ask for cheaper price as these shops don't have to follow the RRP.
Last time I bought my N81 from official Nokia Store, then go downstairs..... another shop, selling almost RM200 cheaper... everything is same... I asked why, they said "We don't have to follow RRP"  doh.gif
But yours is still NEW, they may not want to give you special price, especially it's pre-order units.

As for the Shuriken thingy, what I heard in Radio is, you need to spot and find these Ninja and get your shuriken, then go to Nokia Store and play with the N9; You will stand a CHANCE to win a Nokia N9, everyday.
*
it's a nokia shop, and I can find them from the official Nokia website.
Probably it is up to the dealer like other forumer said (regarding the free gift).

Call Nokia Malaysia and ask them whether free BH505 is official Nokia policy. If they say yes, ask them what they can do about your dealer. If they say it's up to the dealer you're out of luck.

not sure if you have seen @nokiamy's reply to my tweet, there's no free gift for N9 pre-order
yes, again, I am that @Jeffrey04 guy someone mentioned about in the last few post
