The Nokia N9 is an all screen swipe smartphone. Displays a 3.9" screen
size that is scratch resistant ansd has 64GB internal memory.It features
an 8MP camera w/ Carl Zeiss optics, free maps and navigation, Music and
HD quality video with wide angle lens.
- top-notch design -- N9 looks amazingly good (to me it looks better than newer iPhones)
- excellent manufacturing quality
-
excellent phone component (better than iPhone with AT&T; I'm
getting a very good reception in places where iPhone repeatedly failed
with AT&T network)
- works with both AT&T and T Mobile
- superior swipe technology (also better than on Nokia Win platform too)
- integrated social networks
- 64 GB
-
much more ROM for processing apps (I was running out of ROM on N8 with
maybe a dozen or so themes and maybe a dozen of downloaded apps)
- excellently implemented *Dashboard* concept that shows important stuff (appointments, missed phone calls, new emails, etc)
Good stuff:
- solid camera (but N8 was better in that respect and so is newer iPhone)
- easy setup
-
easy email setup if you have a GMAIL account(s) (for private Hotmail
use N9's Exchange server setup and it works great since MS put the
Active sync))
- WiFi has a solid range
- new Linux-based MeeGo OS
is pretty good ... even excellent (but I think most people will find iOS
and Android either easier or more intuitive)
- over-the-air or cloud
sync works very well (and better be since Nokia is shutting down some
services and N9 is incompatible with Nokia Suite)
- battery life seems to be OK (about same as an average iPhone with a few power saving enabled and the BT off)
Bad stuff:
-
if you are addicted to collecting various apps, N9 is either not for
you or it could be a cure for your addiction. While most of the things
that a typical user will ever want to use are covered through Nokia
Store apps (most of them are free), the Spartan system rules N9 compared
to iOS and Android.
