Well, should I guess. I can play all the TVB shows on my E6, all of them rmvb format. But I convert them 1st, or rather the software in the device will auto convert. N9 supposed to be more advanced than E6, right?

I tried without conversion, not smooth, maybe same prob you encounter. Since I'm copying them from my PC anyway, convert to wmv or mkv 1st, then copy over, can play smoothly. E6 is play like 22 fps, the original files are 25 fps, so, prob if play RMVB or HD files in original format. Visual still as good as original after conversion, using free to download software.

I'm used to all this converting business, I'm not tech savy also can do, so, it's not that complicated. Just suggesting, in case this nicholas guy wanna try

You mean you old phone couldnt play avi? Maybe E6 & N900 have similar video functions, E6 can play avi, wmv, mkv, Xvid, whatever WMP can play, most of the English series/movies are in this format.
E6 have the real player in the device actually, but still not 100% smooth. As far as I'm concerned, if cannot watch it smoothly, might as well watch on my desktop. If I want to watch it smooth on the hand phone, make it in the format it can run smooth, lol. Yeah, less than 5 min to convert & copy a 45 min video.

Anyway, in answer to the nicholas guy, E6 is Symbian Anna also can, so, N9, should be no problemo

Wow, you all sifus here have a lot tech knowledge. When the N9 comes out & if I itchy hand go get it(looks fabulous), I know where to ask if get stuck.

Or if buying it next year, 2012 . RM1,700 is reasonable for the 16GB, will still be cheaper than Iphone 4 & 5. Iphone 5 at least also RM2,300

The price in UK & Europe is more expensive. E6 was 380 Euros(RM1,600) but only RM1055 when released in Malaysia. Maybe cos the sets in Asia are Made in China.

It's stated to be 799 Australian Dollars, releasing in Aust in October. That's around RM2,500 but it didnt say whether it's the 16GB or 64 GB

Dont think that would be the price for the 16GB, it's the pre order price in Aust, after taxes. Hardware, I wouldnt say Samsung is better, as in physical hardware. Dont think Samsung S2 or Iphone4 came with 64GB on board.

Yeah I know both plastic, Samsung S2 feel like cheap plastic(no offence if you have one)
Because Nokia can last, Samsung no, I want something that can tahan, not see2, then less than 2 years...spoil. I dont have good experience with all Samsung electronic products, including phone. If like that, better ask Panasonic come out with handphone then I buy, hahaha

AIOne89, I will not, durability issues. Same goes for HTC, cos it's Taiwanese brand, cannot tahan.

I have owned Nokia phones for 20 years, never less than 5 years each set. I must be lucky then . My friend's E71, should be 3 years now, still going on strong. SE is another one that's ok on durability.

Yeah, they all IT people, definition of hardware different from us average joes
I thought the 16GB would be RM1,900 cos the Spore price is SG799

Anybody knows if the 64GB also comes in magenta & cyan?

You already tried one demo set? Or that's the N900 battery life?

Yup, the camera, video, design was main attraction for me. Useful if they dont allow cameras in the stadium to watch sports, can say it's a phone.
Next, is editing documents & other work related stuff. Converters, offline dictionary are useful
Apps related to internet usage, not so. If one is not from the major cities & on the move, casual surfing & searching is all that's needed. Any heavy downloading/streaming will cause the quota to fill up fast, not to mention mobile internet speed sometimes like turtle.

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

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.

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

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

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

I use 4 active wallpaper, max brightness, etc but... using E6, half screen only, hahaha. Considering all E series, it has less battery life already

Guys, does the N9 have FM transmitter? Can listen to radio?
