few things to check if you wanna identify a real or fake.
1st is to make sure there is a warranty sticker by the following distributor Arista, avaxx or zitron
2nd go to a nearest nokia store play with the real phone then test the unit sold at the shop the difference in the user interface , responsiveness is very obvious for a fake one.

hey guys.. just wanna know is it worth it to get a N9 ?
well.. there are a few things that concerns me..
1. Meego is a dead OS, there won't be any updates in the future - There will be constant update for the Meego OS their dead means application developer unlikely will provide updates or priority to meego 2. Lesser apps variety compared to iOS n droid (eventhough u get Symbian + meego market together) - very less compare to symbian but with ntdroid welcome to the world of android market
3. 1ghz processor doesn't seem future proof as now quad-cores blazing in - Android needs a quad core to be smooth meego does not need i can open 30 windows and it doesnt lag. I tried open 10 windows on my galaxy R start to lag lag already the joke is its a dual core
4. No hardware button, even if u did the droid-hack-thing into N9, it isn't that feasible coz droid OS need "home button" or "return button" to operate.. ermm.. right? After you get addict to N9 it just feels good without home button. Only problem if u are in an app that needs to go back you need to click on the virtual back button within the app.the Nokia N9 emphasis three homescreen method that remove the needs of a home button. How to go to home on N9? Swipe only!
correct me if i'm wrong.. i'm not phone expert... other than that, i hav to admit, N9 is stunningly beautiful.. i awesomely smooth.. i tried it at nokia center.. i'm so tempted to get one.. i dont want to be a ifag or droidfag..

Too much brainwash everyone expect the higher the core the power faster the phone but they forget about the software manage those cores.
I believe if a single core is smoother than a dual core isnt the dual core consider as overpriced? Limited apps is troublesome if u are into apps if not for everyday use N9 is superb but i kinda prefer lumia more

The only phones available to play with were the Lumia 710 and 800. There was no N9 units to play with, but there were many other phones models in the display .. cabinet..LoL
The booth is at the entrance of Digital Mall itself, the staffs and the booth itself were very Nokia(the staff were wearing Nokia shirts..seems legit? ) with Lumia banners here and there~
The staff I approached..was pretty..un-informative..I asked about white N9 and at first he replied "Sold out,no more stock"..I was like..whaaaatt I asked again and he tells me Malaysia not bringing in White N9..not sure if trolling,or just -censor-
Furthermore, since N9 64GB was at 1,399..was curious to know how much the 16GB would cost..but he kept pointing to the brochure "1,399..1,399"
The only thing he was very keen to tell me(very repeatedly) was to try the Lumia800..
that shop u mentioned indeed a nokia authorized dealer they been there for like forever. Sifu can said if i buy will you go out with me hahaha? jk i might drop by there tomorrow to buy some games.
Rm1399 for 64GB is heck of a good deal eh maybe they are pushing the lumia than meego.
Sifu u go get the N9 try open 20 windows. If it lag badly below 10 there is a minor possibility fake. If above 10 no lag hello Nokia N9 @ RM1399

mind enlighten on this "fake" ? don't scare ppl eh...
i tot authorised dealer only sells original Avaxx or Zitron sets? ?
Its better to be safe just double check. Whether authorized or not just check to satisfy yourself Fake means it looks like a Nokia N9 feels like a Nokia N9 but it works nothing like the real one.
I seen fake Nokia N8 before from far it looks real but when u actually use it u know its fake if you own a real nokia N8 before but for some users thats new they cant really tell the different.
"minor" possibility haha.
Example of a fake nokia N9

U said obvious u still see so many people get cheated. If you see the lowyat garage sales there a handful of ppl complaint the phone they bought are fake.
I also experience once for Nokia 8800 arte carbon.
See in mudah.com.my the guy said real i call to confirm he selling for 1.4k ask why sell he bored. So we go COD. I have played with the real phone before so i know when i took the phone within like 3 to 4 seconds i know its fake but inside the UI looks like the real thing except the fonts and screen quality then i tell him this is fake he make the most shocking face and some lame advice he go UK la bought from someone dunno how many thousand but he drove a kancil come. So we drag him to police station and report. We know he is lying because what we say he twist he keep twisting his story.

I really got no idea why it's priced so low for a 64GB. The one thing I can reason is most probably they're trying to clear their N9 stocks espcially the 64GB since 16GB can be sold at regular price but normal price of 64GB is too expensive thus lesser units sold. But seriously, they staff there - their main sales/selling point is the Lumia800 16GB.
Hopefully some N9 sifus here will go check it out and report back with good news
sifu it looks real from the catalogue dont wait go for it 64GB RM1399 bloody cheappppppppppppppp its even posted on nokia malaysia facebook the information of the fair. The original price my friend bought was RM2088
Then try squeeze for a free gift. Just keep playing with it like wanna take dont want then tell them if u give me a free gift ill take immediately.

I know! Even current sellers are pricing it around 1,8xx for a 64GB N9. But my dilema is, if I were to get it now(tomorrow maybe? ) - I would get a black one. I'm really hoping to get a White one tho
So how how how..the price 1,399 for 64GB, epicly tempting but no white color N9 !! Tomorrow last day of the sales liao
many features Wp7 copy and alot ppl end up worshiping iOS like video calls they make it sound like something revolution facetime =.="
The you-can’t-believe-it’s-on-a-phone camera. View the gallery Photo Gallery: Unretouched photos taken using iPhone 4S. Tap anywhere to zoom in Tap anywhere to zoom out Download full-resolution photo
The iSight camera just might be the best camera ever on a phone. And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need. Because behind every shot, you’ve got 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. Not to mention an improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced color accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur. It all means that no matter how many people, how much light, and how much action you capture, everything looks exactly as it should. And just wait until you see the photos.
Like this they make sound like their crap 8MP is the revolution N8 pawns that camera and now with pureview there goes.
FaceTime. It’s even better face-to-face.
FaceTime lets you hear a voice and see the face that goes with it — iPhone to iPhone, iPad 2, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi.5 So no matter where they are, no matter where you are, you’ll always be there. Making a FaceTime call is just as easy as making a phone call. And it’s even easier with Siri. Just tell Siri “FaceTime with Mom” and you show up, smile, and wave hello. You’ll never miss a big event, an important meeting, or a good laugh. And who wouldn’t be happy to see your face?
Come on Nokia 6680 since year 2005 can make 3G call so its a joke.
indeed true. Just imagine how deep this brainwash is especially younger generation its imprinted in their mind but iOS did make their OS so simple that anyone can easily adept to it like my dad when he was using Nokia he everyday complaint lag lag lag this issue that issue. Since he use iphone he never complaint anymore except one very serious bug on the iOS. Suddenly the phone cant make phone call regardless what u do.
if you notice the trend pattern smartphone suppose to ease human tasks but end up it becomes a necessity and addiction.
The logic is simple when we face a problem we use internet or type in google so there no need to use the brain to resolve the issue. But what if the technology do not know we become dependent to it.
Just imagine your kids get brainwash since young just imagine what have technology will evolve become. Like i seen many parents how to keep their kids quiet nah ipad nah iphone nah TV rather than make them understand they must why they should be quiet.
Technology is the next killer
Like andy always said different people have differents needs so the device is cater to that person but you notice most fanboy when u ask for a phone sure they immediately answer the brand they like. The brainwash is that bad just imagine ads branding , friends brainwash, internet brainwash.

Yea when they throw tantrum parents must entertain them rather than the kids behave themselves. Yeah always see that at wedding dinner parents busy chit chat the kids busy playing ipad =.=" somemore latest one.
I also know some parents spoil their children so bad just buy them a new phone they can lost it few weeks later. Parents said its okay next birthday buy u another =.=" if my dad sorry no more.
Those really control only a handful most dont really bother.
Haha, I've not finished reading your review. Have it open on my N9 but haven't read past intro.
Interesting workaround u found. But I do remember that u can switch no in SMS. The switch option also allows u to continue chatting on MSN for eg, if the person logged on to MSN after u SMS them.
Not sure about importing contacts with multiple mobile no. Hmmm... I'll go check my Hotmail later. I still have those contacts imported there. Yeap so true, something I'm so used to in Symbian. I think Android have this right?
Actually this is one nice thing bout have Nokia, when my kids want to play games I say my Nokia no games.
So end up watching videos
when someone lure them to play there goes again hahaha. Then when the kids see other kids playing there will emo you haha
Well, from the start that Nokia doesn't want to adopt Android and chose WP, I already know Nokia is beginning to die. Not surprising because Nokia is quite stubborn ever since the emergence of Android and they still keep Symbian as their partner, and then Meego, etc.
Come on android is not the only OS in the world. The Choice for Nokia to take wp7 is correct but what they should do now is to attract more developers to create apps for windowsphone that will help them conquer the mobile phone market. Everyone have given up on symbian even developers are u see less and less apps for Symbian.
Android is overrated. It's dual core is more laggier than meego 1ghz single core processor and wp7 1.4ghz processor. look at n9 how powerful it is just imagine a dual core Nokia n9 but it still lack of apps. Now everyone talking about apps. I also afraid to recommend Nokia phones to friends. See Nokia n9 get replace by lumia and let meego die. Now only chance for Nokia to shine is windows phone. If they give that up there goes everything

Why must it be android? Why cant it be another OS? We should glad nokia didnt choose android because it will kill the market if all manufacturer worship android only just imagine now even china brand is growing like hua wei eventually it will be big war of hardware not OS. One day one china brand launch with all the awesome features lower price than all the branded slowly ppl will switch due to open source because china cant grow due to the OS now google given them a chance. Google will be filthy rich and eventually there no competition. After they run out of hardware challenges the price will keep dropping like the computer war. Windows conquer all market.
but look at iOS close source nobody can become them except themselves. Their value retains their quality retains. We never know nokia and microsoft might have some future plans that not announce that only available in nokia microsoft we never know. Whether to customizable or not all they need is to open it up and doesnt it will be close forever. Today android is nothing special anymore.

I kind of start to agree what u said due to the Nokia N9 thought why they didnt launch in US. The most painful is Meego. They make it so popular and unique then just let it die. The N9 was a test market device that cost like high end devices. My friend comment was the next phone he will go is iphone. The perception of people on Nokia devices are getting bad to worse.
