Anyway to add control pad (cursor, especially "<" ">") to the keyboard.
It's so annoying without that. Wonder how come they omit this SIMPLE yet IMPORTANT thing and even with the recent updates.....

The browser seriously need to have history... sometimes accidentally close it...

Yes, have since v10, but it's more laggy and most of the time, it's easier to just use the default browser, plus, facebook application is linked to the default browser, clicking any links will open the default browser.

Hope they will resolve all these "minor" and easy-to-do issue in the next updates... I'm actually quite surprised they omit this "again" in the recent updates. Worst is the control-pad cursor thing... when you input into web page input/text box, and the text is long... there's no way to navigate, it's just so annoying everytime, and when you want to edit a particular word... horror...

Thanks!

The first option is not working to web page text input, (e.g. google search bar) and I don't really find it useful.

The second one helps to activate the cursor, but to get that it's quite troublesome... oh well... better than nothing.
They should still include the cursor on the default primary keyboard layout.

Anyway, thanks again!

Anyone know how to change the stupid feed to show English?

And, how to hide all those stupid game feed. In my FB, I already hide them, but N9 Feed, it pulls everything, so many annoying game feed flooding, and FB app is really not nice to use, sometimes forever loading, then cannot find back the old post and seems some post didn't show up or hidden or maybe the app decide to hide it? Lucky I still have my trusty N900 with it's nice browser with full flash support although outdated.
How is the FB App on other OS like iOS or Android? If same, I wonder how they've been using it and probably missing many post and seeing many stupid game feeds.

Do you need apps?
WhatsApp?

Social feed and integration is good.
Browser is good if you don't need flash, browse mobile site or are used to iOS browser. The default browser is very basic/plain, you might want to use Firefox for tab based browsing and history. For normal browsing, the stock browser is good.
For simplicity and fluidity, this N9 will deliver.

If you need something more, you might want to look at Android smartphone instead, which gives full web browsing experience, more choices of great browser and tons of apps, GPS apps like PapaGo, etc.

Haha, damm, I also keep swipe trying to close app or switch app on my other device, gosh.

This swipe is really addictive and actually very useful, makes operations easier and faster. Although, it can be annoying too at times when you accidentally swipe away or swipe-down-close-oh-my-gosh-and-no-browser-history.

Careful when using certain charger (especially 3rd party), it can damage the battery and you may have very bad battery (happen to one of my phone).
If you're using car charger, make sure you start the car first BEFORE plugging in the car charger or to your phone, and make sure you remove FIRST the charger before turning off the car. This I read something about voltage issue when you start and turning off the car, which may cause damage to the battery.

Having use whatsApp, I don't see anything unique or special?
I still prefer Maemo/MeeGo social network integration ANYTIME, it's way FAR better and it's implemented since so long ago, YET, I haven't seen others implement this Nokia's INNOVATION (not sure about WP7).
With Maemo/MeeGo, the social networks accounts are TRULY integration, when you add an account, the account actually exist in your device contact/address book and it will LOGIN and set ONLINE status. You don't have to manually click LOG-IN for each or open some app and LOGIN.
Plus, all IM is integration into the messaging/conversation, no need open this app that app. This gives you more feel like true integration, everything is in the Contact/Address Book, everything is in the Messaging/Conversations.

With Android, I cannot online my status despite I already added the accounts, yes, it sync the contacts, but that's pretty much all? I have to open app to login? If I want to IM, I need to use the app? Or download some 3rd party plugins, etc.

WhatsApp is famous simply because since the beginning iPhone doesn't have this and that, but many iPhone users; but with WhatsApp introduce, everyone switch. Just like IRC era, switching to ICQ, and then MSN.

It gets popular because many people use iPhone last time and iPhone don't have this and that, so how to IM with iPhone users; that's when people start switching to WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is just another IM, just like others, nothing more, and I didn't see anything really special about it except many people are using it, which mainly due to the reasons I explain; It's just back in those days, everyone using ICQ, then slowly people starts to switch to YM or MSN or Skype; With your friends no longer using ICQ, you also switch. I used to open 3 different programs, and slowly only use MSN.

At least MSN and YM can add and see each others account. This is what they should do, instead of adding more and more "types", they should integrate and work together. So, Mr. A can have gmail, Mr. B can have MSN, Mr. C can have Yahoo, Mr. D can have Skype, all can add and see each other, Facebook, whatever.
At least Nokia have done something by integrating everything into the Address/Contact Book, don't have to bother what Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, GTalk, all in ONE place. BUT sadly this is not an Apple, so, it's not well known or recognized.

Facebook is use widely, from PC to smartphone, so Facebook Chat should be more common; I think YM also integrating with Facebook Chat? Anybody got any idea?
If all integrated, that'll be easier for users, because you don't have to worry the person is using same service or not (e.g. hotmail), as long as it's under the same group of service (shared; e.g. Yahoo/MSN).

For Maemo/MeeGo, with the integration, you don't even have to bother the person is using Skype or Facebook, when they IM you, you just have to reply, don't have to check "this message is from Skype? Facebook? etc"

WhatsApp is not SMS, it's still IM; It just like any other IM, it requires data plan; They're just confusing people who don't know and thought it's SMS, a better SMS.
If you're using data plan, then it's just like any other IM.
SMS doesn't need any data plan, even MMS doesn't need despite it's using data.

Using contact as number is just another form of id.
Now you mention this, I wonder what happens when someone switch contact number?

It's large user base thanks to iPhone which initially don't have this and that, people have no choice to rely on something that they can use to IM each other. Before WhatsApp, I think it was ebuddy on iPhone.

In the end, it depends on the user, if there're many people using FB Chat (after all, most people have FB nowadays, and you can chat from phone or PC/laptop), it's set the new trend, which is even better, cause you can chat with people who're using the PC and/or don't use smartphone or didn't have data plan, etc. It's just because many people are using WhatsApp already, it's not easy to change unless there's the big switch happening.

That's what I meant too, majority users are iPhone users, so they're like the trend setter; If they use WhatsApp, other will have to follow. Since iPhone have many issues with other IM, it'll be troublesome, plus how majority sees WhatsApp as SMS replacement, they'll be relying on it more.

Most people will have Facebook, Yahoo, MSN, Google, Skype.

When there's these "accounts" are truly integrated (as in can add each other without creating different account under that service OR open another program), it will be more popular.
As such, MSN we can add Yahoo contacts. And from Yahoo Messenger for Android, you can see and chat with Facebook.
When all of them are truly integrated, anyone in Facebook can chat with their friends, regardless if the friend is on Facebook or MSN or Yahoo or Google or Skype, etc. Facebook can also send message to Mobile Number? (just like ICQ back then). So, when this happens, WhatsApp will become less useful because you can only send message to user with WhatsApp and user who own a smartphone, on/has data plan, etc; while the above, you can send to anyone as long they on any of those services (not device dependent and/or data plan dependent).

Don't cut, just change a new one micro sim (the new type), it solved the problems. Cutting may give you problem more than micro sim. Cutting will also cause the side/edges of the sim card to have uneven and sharp edges/etc, which is another bad thing.

Suggest you to replace with new type micro-SIM card; I also same like you cut, I didn't know replace is only RM20... if know, i would've replace it and reduce all those hassle and problems.

You may face the problem again, if unlucky, it may happen when you need to make important phone calls.

Why want to cut when changing a NEW micro SIM, looks better and you can put together again become normal SIM, for only RM20?
At first I thought it was expensive to change to micro SIM, so I went and cut it. It worked at first but one day SUDDENLY it just refused to work, and you will also notice after you cut the SIM, the edges may not be even or is sharp, etc. Is this worth the hassle just to save RM20?

Cutter provided by Nokia (during event). Even they don't recommend, the advice changing micro SIM, so they let us cut at our own risk.
After I cut, there's no problem, so does others, everything work fine, while some slowly face problem later, me included, which is suddenly fail. Why take the risk? What if it happen when you need to make important phone calls and what if you're outstation or somewhere and to replace, you need to go to the CENTRE instead of dealer.

Plus, cutting will leave the sides uneven or have sharp edges, on certain phones where you need to slide the SIM card in, you will risk damaging the sim card slot.

Sorry if this sound harsh but...
Buy the phone for RM2099, what is RM20. And if the adapter of RM10 is so expensive, then don't buy it, just use back the "original adapter", use tape to hold it together....

Like I said, depends, if unlucky and face situation, what will you do? Regret or complaint? I'm more of the type, prevention is better than cure or if can avoid, then avoid, why wanna take the risk.

But there's always many types of people in this world, some people may never face any single problem at all, while some people may face endless problem. It really depends. If you're the type who is unlucky and always face problems, you will have a different perception and how you do things in future.
Of course, it doesn't mean if you're 100% careful, nothing will happen. E.g. doesn't mean you always maintain and take care of your car, nothing will fail. On the other hand, some people may never face any/major problem with their car and will conclude that other people are too careless or never took care of their car (even if they did).

Like I said, it depends; If it's working fine for you good. Personally, I still wouldn't risk it, like I said, what IF when you need to make important emergency calls and you're on holiday/festive seasons, plus outstation? It really depends o each person luck and how far one thinks. Like car battery, some people just wait until the car battery dead only replace, but not me, I prefer to know when it's weak and replace early. So far, my experience, most of the time, car battery died in the middle of the night at somewhere (e.g. 3AM after Karaoke session). While others, never had much problem their ENTIRE LIFE and their mindset, they can never understand and wonder why people want to replace early.

But anyway, even with micro-SIM, it doesn't guarantee nothing will fail. Someone here also face problem with the new micro-SIM before, he replaced it twice.

In short, when giving advice, I would give something that's in my opinion "better" and avoid; I personally and still don't think cutting is a good idea; and when doing recommendation, I personally against recommending something that is not good when there's a better and trouble free alternative.
But that doesn't mean people cannot cut it if they still want to save the RM20.

Yes, you can cut it and change it later when convenient (e.g. Sunway Pyramid has both Maxis and DiGi Centre, and open on weekends). That's what I did, I change on weekend and I didn't know it was only RM20. (Some shop even charge Rm10~RM15 for cutting service; when you can replace for RM20)

Anyway, not a big issue. I'm just sharing experiences and point of view, as some people like I said, may not "see" and seems not able to understand why wanna pay, just cut-lah; just like those people when you tell them, change the battery before it's dead to avoid this and that, or some other similar things because some people they never in their entire life face any major issues, everything goes smoothly and easy for them, so they conclude that others will NOT face the problem and should just follow what they do.

My suggestion and point of view when giving suggestion is; between cut and replace at little cost; replace is much better option because cut you may face several issue (e.g. SIM Card damaging other phone sim card slot) and possibility/chances of the SIM no longer working. So, in my opinion, that kind of suggestion, if people face problem, who they want to blame?
I'm not talking about single person, I'm talking as a whole when we suggest to people, we shouldn't think of HOW we prepared for it (e.g. have 2nd phone).
If the person follow the advice and cut, later he/she went holiday during CNY (e.g. Genting Highlands), go out with family, play alone, later wanna make calls... SIM card decided to FAIL at that moment. Wow.
Of course, the chances of it happening is slim and not everyone is that unlucky. I'm very unlucky type, so I have to always think about many types of consequences, but even I do and prepared, it still happen in some other ways.

Well, most people may think I'm too extreme on the examples above, but hey, prevention is better than cure.

In the end, just do what you want to do, I've explain why I suggest the above. People can still disagree and think there's no need to worry about all those, just like every other scenario. Experience is still the best. Some people, they NEED to experience it to understand and feel, and most of the time, these people they tend to believe that people who never experience cannot understand and feel, they don't believe some people can feel and simulate without experiencing it.

Mine also cut and works fine at first, suddenly it just fail and I didn't even know. People can't get me.....
Some other people also face same problem, at first everything working fine, then one day, suddenly it just stop working.

That's why it's "recommended" (not must) to just change it to new micro-SIM (beside, to get FREE cut at telco centre, since already there, can consider just purchase it). Overall, it's better quality and less problem, when you cut, the edges is not smooth unless you go and smoothen it, and you may risk damaging some phones sim card slot. If cut and have problem later, only can blame card/ownself action, if use replace micro-SIM and have problem, can complain to telco.

Anyway, not everyone suffers the same fate, so it's just a recommendation, not must. But if recommend cutting, and the person face problem later, that's another story.
