Currently, many rubbish app and simply charging. I think it needs proper management for the apps, it's flooding the OVI store, very annoying.

Yes, many rubbish apps flooding the ovi store especially in the news and entertainment category. Useful utilities are still lacking and the handful of utilities for N9 have not changed from day 1. We really need apps like:

Wi-fi analyzer
smartrunner
Parking (gps)
scientific calculator
QR code reader
offline dictionary

Nokia ads sucks really. I seriously hate those 9seconds ads. Does it in any part shows really clearly that it's the brand new Nokia N9 and it's brand new (rebranded) Meego OS? For us who keep updating on the phone availability, yes, we get the message. But if they wanna reach for mass market like iPhone or Android phone, please make an educational one. Make people aware you are launching something fantastic and new and evolutionary.

A mass market which skips major markets like U.S., U.K., France, Germany and India? In fact Nokia has purposely omitted high population countries except China. I don't think Nokia is rooting for N9's mass market; Elop's focus is still on WP7.

Iphone 4S is launched with great market response and Android's ice-cream sandwich will debut on Oct 19. Everyday that Nokia delays their WP7 phone is a body blow to Elop's "great new hope". Frankly I have no sympathy for Elop if his dream flops. Serves him right for trying to contain N9's popularity.

WP7.5 Mango is nothing but a catch up to Android and ios. This is from Gsmarea's review:
"There are game changers like multitasking and Wi-Fi hotspot functionality. There are smaller things like custom ringtones".

Multi-tasking, wi-fi hotspot and custom ringtones? It makes you want to burst out laughing.

I want the "YouTube Downloader" from Symbian...

N900 have CuteTube,it was ported to N9 (but did not port properly); but this app often fail to download video.
Symbian's "YouTube Downloader" was great.

What about Media Downloader?

No review mentioned the weak wi-fi receiver. This is a serious problem which can impact usability. My Samsung Wave can detect, connect and surf a wi-fi network which my N9 can't even detect at all!

What the reviewer said is very true. No doubt it is a great phone but the price and lack of future support will be a turn off to many.

This is one of the best Nokia phone that i have ever used.

Parting words from Gsmarena: "If anyone is let down, it's the Nokia N9 itself. The platform is as good as doomed. Forsaken by its own creator. With Nokia giving up on MeeGo and a price tag that confines the N9 to a premium niche, it will be next to impossible for the OS to grow a substantial user base. Without users, developers won’t be too interested in MeeGo either. And the limited number of apps is the platform's biggest weakness."

It depends on the Meego/Maemo developer community whether they can buck the dire predictions. Right now I don't see apps being ported at a good rate. Maybe they are all working on it and there will be a flood later on, hopefully.

I personally think that Nokia don't know how to market this phone. It is kind of limited edition phone where even U.S. don't have it (a place where the phone has HUGE sales potential). Before it comes out, Nokia spoiled its reputation.

After Nokia screwed up everything about such a great phone, they are still selling it at a price of a dual-core phone.

I don't know what are they up to. I showed it to many of my friends. They were so interested but the moment they get to know the price, their mouth are zipped and *change topic*

Prophetic words from Gsmarena.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

High price and lack of Whatsapp are stumbling blocks to the growth of N9, not so much the lack of apps. Whatsapp has dealt a body blow to N9 by saying they will NOT release a version for it. Don't underestimate the power of Whatsapp, it can make or break a phone. Why did WP7 fail to take-off? No Whatsapp!

By the way N9 is not sold at the price of dual core phones, it is sold higher. SGSII is cheaper than it in every market including Malaysia.

As I said before maybe only Alien Dalvik can save Meego if it materialize. I would like to hear what our analyst Andy has to say on the future of Meego. Did I made an expensive mistake?

Another one? Mind telling us why you bought it if you have no intention of using it? You're going to lose some money on it you know?

Sad that I've sent my wife's N9 for repairing this week.

It's kind of frustrating when I'm having "Mobile Network Error" EVERYTIME I restart the phone, and had to pull out and re-insert the sim card for a LOT of time in order to get it work. I've replaced 3 Sim Cards this week from the telco and still facing the same problem. Had no choice but to send for repair.

I'm really pissing off with Nokia Malaysia that I've bought this phone for less that 7 days and they wouldn't replace a new one for me. Spending 2000 over for a Nokia phone end up wasting more time for trouble shooting and repairing. My wife is not happy with it, so do I.

Overall the phone is smoother and the camera is better compare to my Galaxy S I9000. But, I would not go for a Nokia phone in the future, because of the quality of service. Personal feeling and opinion. smile.gif

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Nokia should have given you a 1-to-1 replacement. But it could have been avoided if you had tested it in the shop. I advise all those collecting their N9s to bring their SIM with them, get it cut by the shop and test in on your new phone. It's better than chasing around getting your SIM cut later or buying one from the telco.

This problem very hard to detect. If u bring your sim and this problem occur they tell you is your simcard problem when u replace they will tell you is your phone. Except if customer insist to test on another unit
*
If you are cutting an existing sim which you know works you will not accept the explanation that it is your sim problem. You will immediately suspect the phone and request that your sim be tested on another phone or another sim used on the same phone. As they are using sim cutter the sim should be cut properly.

True what you said so is best to prepare a new micro sim before purchasing the N9

No, just bring your old sim unless you are getting a new line.

To be frank, any company in Malaysia have this bad attitude where they don't do 1 to 1 replacement, unless you are lucky.

I had several devices which I found out to be faulty on the day I bought it but I can't get a replacement even though I went back the next day.

It varies from company to company but sometimes it is the attitude of the shop. Malaysia has weak consumer laws which make them bolder.

First Software Update for MeeGo Harmattan with 3500 Improvements Coming Soon - UrhoKonttori Project Manager at Nokia Meego Development Team confirmed this update over his blog.

He said, "If you see issues in n9, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm still well connected to nokia meego and there is a lot of talent working on making it all the time better."

Why not go over there and give him some input?

I'm facing the same problem on microsim, took it out from iPhone 4. After restarted the phone prompted the error “No Mobile Network”

Quite frustrated with this new phone. BTW did anyone encounter poor GPS signal? It seem that it can't connect.in indoor althought the A-GPS enabled!

This is not iphone, you still need to be near a window to get a GPS lock but it's definitely better than any Samsung phone.

Nokia will have an update for the os this year but the real worry is whether there will be support from developers. I see new apps coming in at a very slow pace, discounting all those useless RSS feed apps which must have been produced from a template.

Try those non HD version see how. HD version surely impossible one. Even the author of VLC remark that there is no HARDWARE VIDEO ACCELERATION for playback, just enabled for some sort of things which really do not matters much. He went on to say High Definition video definitely a problem.

Looks like Nokia pulled a fast one on us. How can the video hardware of N9 be worse than N8, a one year old phone? Anyway, what to do? Just convert your movies. To be frank HD on a small phone screen isn't all that different from non-HD.

But the official Nokia specs say HD 720p video playback. So how? Class action suit?

For those who are not aware it can lead to a lot of unnecessary chasing around and time out in the repair shop so it's good that Joshua publish this information.
