Kinda remember you.You worked on Nokia X3-02 Touch & Type right? Nice little phone.
1.2GB seems right.That should contain OS & application files.Wait 1-2 days & the update should pop up in navifirm.
N9's firmware is locked by region right?Maybe Kelvin's firmware won't be compatible with APAC N9.
N9 don't have global variant firmware like N900.
@Kelvin
You've used both N9 & Lumia 800 right? Which do you prefer?
It's always interesting to hear comment about Nokia's product from their own employee.
I've not used Lumia 800 extensively and I've only got the N9 for a week now. But let me just put this disclaimer here, all my opinions do not reflect the company's opinion and stance.
What I like about N9 is the true multi-tasking. It seems way more integrated and fluid in terms of usability. N9 lack in some usability features, like pretty small hit areas for buttons, sometimes if you hover too near the edge, it tends to wanna swipe. Furthermore, I like the integrated feel of the social features unlike competing OSes which tend to work in app silos, if you know what I mean.
Lumia has the leg up on UI fluidity though. Of course, they have to sacrifice the true multi-tasking. Nokia apps are still not truly integrated (what's the deal with some search showing Bing maps and not Nokia's?), but they're getting there. I like how it's backed by a company with a rich history of SW creation (despite what people say). From what I've heard, working together with MS has been great for many of our colleagues.
Anyway, with all the great devices on the high end, competing for relevance, don't forget the fight people like me are doing for the next billion (I sound like marketing).
