ya lohr.....i'm not really sure upscaling 8mp picture to 12mp is a good idea....upscaling will always give a blurry result....maybe they should downscaling the 12mp picture to 8mp?

anyway....i've tested the N8 already....yup the camera function is way better....but I'm not too sure about the image quality yet....phone/camera screen tend to cheat users as they are made of different material and technology....i haven't been able to grab a image file from N8....maybe this weekend I go and borrow one unit from someone hahaha....

it seem they divided the memory... 2GB for Apps data (C:? although not mapped physically), 4GB for Apps installation (which mean if >4GB u can't install apps no more?) and 10GB left for user datas...

Not sure about the technical or differentiate, but N8 camera is less smooth, maybe due to the OS also. It's faster the previous Nokia cameras but slower than iPhone. The N9 on the other hand offers comparable speed and ease of use.

Tomorrow will be 'disqualified', better rush to submit today.

Not just write, they need to write according the the "criteria" somemore, which generate points, the more "stuffs" the more points. So, in other words, if you really want to win, you need to pass to someone who can write well or already familiar with these kind of writing, taking photo, videos, etc. The more this type of people you know the better; Moreover, if you want volume, they can only test in shorter time-frame to get more volume.
Quantity or Quality?
It also means, need to pass to more "famous" people and people who knows about smartphone; instead of letting anyone interested to enjoy (regardless they're using normal phone or smartphone), which I think should be the proper way, to let people experience and provide their own feedback and comment without any criteria.

Another thing to worry is, to make sure they take good care of the phone... regardless need to return Or keep.

is there a way to control twitter update feed? under my settings i set it as manually only but its still auto updating :|

I don't see any blurriness in that gsmarea link. Of course if you zoom to 100% some parts may look soft. Even DSLRs may be the same unless you're using pro lens.

N900/Maemo only 2GB for apps installation.

Double-Tap or press the on/off/lock button ONCE first. Then will show you the wallpaper thing, now you can swipe.


I think you can also turn the wallpaper thing off.
CORRECTION: Seems no this option.

As for the second part, the only thing I am worried off is, the person whom I give the phone to might not return it back. Seriously, who can I give it to? Friends? After give then, "nombor yang anda dail tiada dalam perkhidmatan"

cheh... i ingat direct swipe from the side will unlock... apala caplang user manual confusing ppl...

Friends also must see, some not active in internet, some don't join forums, most don't write these kind of "detailed" reviews with so much requirement, like an actual write-up article?

Unless the person is himself a blogger and have many contacts or has many friends who are active in forums, blogs, etc.

The purpose is basically to help market the product, get traffic. Not so much so as in letting "anyone" (I mean, anyone, young or not young; regardless they know or don't know about smartphone, etc), to try and experience it and then share their opinions.

Yup, +1. Agree with you.

How many of them will take initiative to get to Nokia Malaysia's Fb page and write something like a short review?

I check with FH, they need to write the review on either forum, blog, or some sites, and then post in Nokia Malaysia's FB page with link to their review and also mentioned the Ranger's name in the post.

The review, according to the ppt, there's quite a lot of requirement which all contributes to point. Asking them to write a review may also be an issue (especially if they don't/never do it before), the criteria may be too much. So, just do what we can, but I suppose we can still help them.

Sorry, let's get back to N9 discussion lol

My review set already pass to my friend already, well she bought the Nokia N9 black la after tested mine. She will be passing the unit around every day to diff person till next week, i just tell them if u all do write a review, please just put my name there. If not no need la.

Not gonna force anyone to write up something, i just want them to feel the differences in this phone. Not the usual nokia they use to having, this is a whole new level of differences

True, it's not the usual one; If we remove the brand and model name and let them use, they won't even be able to tell it's a Nokia phone (unless they off and turn it on, then will have the infamous Nokia logo and tune... or when they receive call or sms, haha).

Ok,ok. No need susah2. I join can? As N9 owner from outside KL/Sgor, then no need pass2 the device around. I sure will have things to say on how they position & market the fella, product knowledge of the sellers.

I guess u and me are stuck in the spot where all our friends are casual bloggers who well, uses iphone. easy peasy technology. Lol. anyway good luck bro.

How much do you think second hand N9 would be like ?

Can offer to TS , as he contribute to help maintain this thread.

Hehe, I'm out, won't be able to submit today. My original plan will take longer time to finish, but anyway, just do my part to contribute what I can.

There was one seller for 64GB who listed for RM1800 and I think he sold it.

I guess depend on demand; When no demand, nobody want to buy, very hard to sell, then value also not stable, unless you found buyer who are looking for it and willing to nego the price with you.

As of now, I would say not much people actually knew or bother to know/find out about N9, or more specifically, Nokia; To them, it might just be "another Nokia". Hence, that's why Nokia tries to promote it more, but I think it's not good enough. First the sales person themselves are not really familiar with it, secondly, there's no enough "information". Example: Many people walk pass Nokia Shope everyday, especially weekends; How do they plan to attract these people?

Actually they can put a TV and show off some nice/attractive N9 features, which passers by may be attracted, stop and possibly walk in to TRY IT. The video should also show some basic usage on the phone (e.g. how to unlock, the 3 main screens, etc). As from my observation, some people who walks in, look at the phone, press press here, press press there, still stuck at the wallpaper, then walk away (unless the sales-person is FREE to serve them); Some might just stand and look for a while then leave as they don't really know much about it also, not everyone likes to be approach or approach the sales person. Some Nokia Shop may have the TV, but not all, e.g. AEON Bukit Tinggi, which can be considered a quite "high traffic" area due to the Cinema. Kind of strategic place, but without proper "promotion".

So i think i should hope it become famous so i can easily sold it ==
