johney, 07 Nov 2011i do work for samsung. So i have to use samsung phone only.... moreI don't have blue tint on my S2.It is my first samsung phone though I got to use S 1 for a week.Before I was a real fan of Nokia.I was waiting for the N9 n was thnking to change my s2 for it as I 4t I didnt need that kind of power.N I ws eager to see vat better ppi. Bt in v end I ws disappointd!V pixels are more apparent on v N9 n I thnk it got its greater ppi due to their diagonal arrangement. Bt I must admit its screen is brighter than S2 n it is mre aesthetic and more easily handled.And it also has better materials!Bt who wil keep his phone for more than two yrs with new phones coming out evryday??If u cn afford an N9,u wnt.N who wud let his phone get marks on its body for such a price?N y pay mre for s less powerful phone??V hardware in v S2 r also premium mtls except the back cover,yeah..So I dnt believe u r being objective or honest here. I dnt thnk u hv ever realy used a genuine S 2.Bt believe me I'l b happy to return to Nokia if they make a mre powerful phone before v S3 shows up.

    Hey guys..! Did you check out the latest Nokia phone called "Lumia 800" oooohhhh boy..! It is a real clone of N9... Same size., same shape., same colour., same look... Dont you think that the appearance of this Lumia 800 (copy of N9) would make N9 worthless...???

      Thanks for confirming that they are all like that. I didnt notice the navy vs black problem, honestly i didnt test too much, but when we did a comparison between SGS and Galaxy Pad and a HTC we did notice some photos where the contrast between dark colors was not so good on SGS. Usually when testing contrast with the naked eye you'll look at gradients, or most importantly level of detail inside deep shadows, and in this area SAMOLED does very well ofcors. Its just the color reproduction is too inaccurate compared to other fones, even older TFT units sometimes look better for uniform motives where contrast does not play a big role.

      Surely N9 and other AMOLED Nokia models are much better than SGS/SGS2, but AMOLED is still an immature technology and cannot match SLCD and the Sony Bravia engine, plus we know for sure that AMOLED displays degrade over time. AMOLED is not at all a new technology but it was never used in displays in the past becoz of the degradation problems.

      Edit: SGS is not annoyingly blueish when brightness is set to maximum, but maximum setting is way too bright to use 99% of the time.

            Shanmithi, 07 Nov 2011What do you think guys., what would be the best one of Noki... morefirst, the camera are very different: fixed focus and auto focus with touch focus ability are not alike, especially if you add carl zeiss optics.
            second, in the n9, the cpu is better, and has a better gpu, so its much more powerful than the X7.
            the screen size different is 0.1", so don't make a story out of it.
            if symbian is a mortal, meego is a god.
            go for n9

                      Mr Elop seriously needs review his decision and own MEEGO OS..... for another 1 to 2 N9 series.
                      coz, window fixed custom phones will never ....rise up beyond average even in the future.

                            Nokia N9 seems to have the best HD video camera of any smartphone in the market. Right up there with Nokia N8. I'm using it now and it's totally outstanding. Check out this sample video: http://www.techpinas.com/2011/11/nokia-n9-review-philippines-design.html

                                i do work for samsung. So i have to use samsung phone only. If i use nokia in samsung office then definitily i would be screwed.
                                I have been samsung fanboy since they are using gingerbread android.
                                Now coming to the display. Yes S AMOLED and amoled have blue tint in samsung devices. Whether it is sgs or sgs2 both have same blue tint. Then whats the advantage of less battery consuming? White looks bluiesh and when u see dark navy blue it looks like black. This is the hell.

                                I do not owned n9 my brother got one. I dnt know whether it is available in indian market or not. When i used n9 i was amazed.
                                Display far better than sgs2 or any other samsung devices (except note).

                                Ya less applications may lead u to get bored but just think once, every new OS comes with less applications. Once it gets success in market then app developers come forward.

                                Touch is very responsive and swype makes it better and better.
                                Harware is too good.
                                Camera could have been much better but still good to shoot 720 p hd videos.

                                Much better than samsung and htc devices with powerfull OS.

                                  What do you think guys., what would be the best one of Nokia X7 and N9 if you compare those 2 models including the Prices.. Well., I dont see such a big difference between those 2.. N9 has a front camera while X7 hasn't..and N9 comes with latest 'MeeGo' , But X7's display is larger than N9.. Both have same MP cameras... One thing more., N9 has been rated as a Office Phone and X7 is a totally Entertainment Phone which you can have a great fun with.. The other thing is the Price., the difference of the price of between X7 and N9 is more than 350$.. The front camera and MeeGo of N9 couldn't be worth for over 350$.. Isn't it guys.., what is your idea., what is the better one to buy (according to money of your wallet) ...???

                                        you too can find videos on youtube showing the SGS side by side with other fones, and if you ant see the blue then your PC/pad/eyes are defective.

                                        Look here now, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w5z4gBdK5A
                                        go to position for example 12:40 and 20-30 sec onward, if there is ANY doubt about the blue tint on SGS2 then come back and post here and im sure sum1 can recommend you a good optician. Openminded ppl will immediately see that Xperia Arc has less contrast but correct colors, white is white. And take note that this is the SGS2, the defect is still there no matter how many SUPER and plus they add to their display technologies.

                                        EDIT: in the video go to position 14:00, its so laughable that u guys can claim SGS and SGS2 has good displays when you look at that eh? And in real its even more blue than that. SAMOLED sux, period.
