DANY, 25 Jun 2011 What if I want to focus on one thing, but lock exposure o... moreNice thoughts glad to discuss those with ya.

Buy a professional camera if you are that deep in photography although there's much hope independent Camera Apps will be available and using the volume rocker is a possibility in those (and maybe it'll be added to Meego in the next update.
You can swipe back by mistake but it'll be a half swipe meaning you'll see one row of icons no more and you'll be back no problem the big ram and great processor won't flinch.
as for your next q you clearly are new to programming , so i'll quote this from Sympian
\\\\\\
There is a strong emphasis on conserving resources which is exemplified by Symbian-specific programming idioms like descriptors and a cleanup stack. Similar methods exist to conserve disk space, though disks on Symbian devices are usually flash memory. Further, all Symbian programming is event-based, and the central processing unit (CPU) is switched into a low power mode when applications are not directly dealing with an event. This is done via a programming idiom called active objects. Similarly the Symbian approach to threads and processes is driven by reducing overheads.

you need 2 steps to unlock (two clicks on the screen then a full swipe to open that'll never happen in your pocket since this is a capacitive which doesn't respond to materials other than your hands
It has gorrila glass so your safe and a body made of poly carbonate that has no paint so even if you scratched it it'll show the same color underneath .

HW buttons removal is awesome ...
and i agree with you about language support i really want this one in Arabic i hope they deliver ...

    AnonD-1782, 25 Jun 2011I believe this is going to be a good phoneI didn't said that it will be a weak phone. I said that it's not better than the Samsung Galaxy S2.

          AnonD-2519, 25 Jun 2011Are you kidding no card slot,no 1080p,no dual core, no gyro... moreit doesn't need card slot coz it has 64 gb on board. www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/N9/
          it supports divx , xvid, flac, mpeg4, flash, avi and more.i think openness of meego can bring more formats coz it is a debian running on a shell. so most of the linux apps will work. there are many things that is hidden in this phone like fm transmitter.

              fortunately N9 supports Tv out . Fm transmitter , but not yet a software for it.

                  DANY, 25 Jun 2011 What if I want to focus on one thing, but lock exposure o... moreIt doesn't need a two stage camera button.

                  The n9 features continious auto focus in the photo mode aswell as the video. Once you open the camera app, it continually focuses on the object in the selected focus area so all you have to do is click the shoot button once.

                  Although i would have preferred a dedicated camera button, it wouldn't be two stage.

                        It Appears as the Largest Step forward from Nokia in these years of iphones & Droids.

                          What if I want to focus on one thing, but lock exposure one something else? Or point the camera in my direction and take a photo? There are some things that buttons just do better.
                          Looks nice
                          but how "easy" it is to swipe back by mistake?
                          And how much the display eats the battery by stand by when it waiting the gesture to unlock it? And how sensitive it is... for example i have it on my surf shorts that have wery thin pockets? Or eny pants that have shin pockets enyhow...
                          That UI is unbeliavable. So nice and unique.

                          Puts that sh1tty looking Android to shame. Honestly Android really needs to work on the UI because the best hw and great community. UI is just one generation behind WP, IOS and now MeeGo.
                          Starts from the multitasking Google.

                          Design - wise they have done it right this time. Looks classy and solid. The abscence of paint to be scratched is another thing many people have expected. If they put a good image sensor, the reduced resolution to 8 instead of 12 megapixels is going to only do good to camera performance in respect to noise. The placement of LEDs is like in a real camera.

                          one question:
                          does it support chinese input? i gave up n900 for no chinese input
                          chinese input as in change the message to chinese language, not change whole device language into chinese...

                          Looks nice, but getting rid of HW buttons is not. Without a two-stage shutter button, the photo capabilities are severely limited, regardless of how "cool" the UI might seem to the typical consumer

                            Dear all,

                            I would just like to point out ten reasons for the N9:

                            1 The N9 has the best screen on earth. Better than Retina or Super Amoled Plus. The best.

                            2 The Swipe UI is the most intuitive and fast UI in the world. It is easier to use and more beautiful than iOS and A LOT better looking and more efficient than Android.

                            3 Swipe UI on N9 runs more fluid than Android on Galaxy S 2. I like the Galaxy, but it is the winner of a very stupid pissing contest between equally handicapped Android devices, which is called a virtual machine.. Do not make a mistake, the N9 performs better than the Galaxy S 2. Look beyond the numbers.

                            4 It runs Qt apps. This means there will be apps and good ones at that.

                            5 Offline navigation, in India and the rest of the world. No data charges.

                            6 Excellent integrated Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Vimeo etc, with deep links into Phonebook, etc.

                            7 The Carl Zeiss 8 Mp camera is only surpassed by the N8, it is awesome. It is also the fastest camera on the market.

                            8 The BEST multitasking in the industry, using the ful 1GB of RAM all out.

                            9 Video capture is insanely good. Real 720p will full details and colors, not the shoddy BS 1080p other devices do. It is the best video capture device out there.

                            10 And I have to reiterate this. It it GORGEOUS. It makes everything else look like a cheap plastic toy. The design, the curved screen, everything is TOP NOTCH. Performance is excellent.


                            Dont believe me, go look at the demo's on youtube and the swipe.nokia.com site. This device is number 1.

                                Nokia N9 is the world's fastest camera, till now. It takes only 2.6 sec to capture image. It is proved. While Iphone 4 take 3 sec and SGS2 take about 5 sec. Check it in google.
