11:09.30psycho_oreosI can see how useless N9 would be on IRC in a really busy channel. With only a few lines to actually see the words it will sure be fun... no doubt its a huge improvement from N900's VKB but still no match when it comes to using proper keyboard that N9 will never offer.
11:52.13petteriyou can swipe down to get the keyboard away
11:54.30psycho_oreosmore like to close the app, though I can simply push the uppermost part of the screen to also hide the keyboard.. the issues with the lack of physical keyboard doesn't really stop there
11:58.48petteriswipe down from the upper side of the keybord
11:58.51petterithat hides it
11:59.27petterii like irssi more on n9 than on n900
11:59.33petterimore lines and nicer look
12:02.14psycho_oreoscomparing via VKB N9 offers more readability, though again N9 is really annoying without physical keyboard.. the inability to either cut, copy nor paste on N9 within browser is really annoying
12:04.01psycho_oreosand the default music player is really crippled on the N9... onr cannot see the playlist easily let alne create nor save playlist with the standard.app is also really cumbersome
12:05.18petteriheheh, seems that you really got some issues there :D
12:05.28psycho_oreosoh... you can't even clear the current nusic/sets of music you're listening too either without having to first close the app
12:06.07psycho_oreosN9.. woefully debilitating.. woefully
12:06.37petteriby the way there is limited copy paste on the browser
12:07.14petteriand you can copy paste from terminal to the browser address bar, which is nice
12:08.05petterii don't really have that big issues with N9, works like a charm most of the time
12:08.18psycho_oreosinstalling Japanese input requires anthy package that needs to be obtained manually. The inability to copy just a single text which is essentially URL snippet is just stupid and unnecessary waste of time
12:09.34psycho_oreosI have yet to find out how one even manages to paste stuff into the browser with just using VKB.. some black magic?
12:09.46petteriyou can copy links from browser
12:10.31petteripsycho_oreos: heheh, not black magic. Hopefully you will figure out someday
12:11.33psycho_oreospetteri, yeah some annoying little trick
12:12.40petteri, but not as annoying as aegis :D
12:15.16psycho_oreosworse than N950.. nokia is like one big family of irritable successors. From the humble and obedient 770 to now a complete deliquent N9. Period
12:17.18psycho_oreoss/deliquent/delinquent/
12:17.34petterii think just the oppsite way
12:17.56psycho_oreosno
12:18.03petterii don't?
12:19.03psycho_oreosat least I'm not alone on the view I'm on. otoh you don't realise it
12:28.04petteriyes, i have noticed that there is this vocal minority which tries to suck all the fun out of N9, just like in tmo
12:29.54petteriafter enough propaganda, maybe i will join those eventually, who knows
12:30.23petteri, but at least the first couple of months with N9 have been fun
12:38.23psycho_oreospropaganda? as if that doesn't exist anywhere else apart from tmo threads specifically
12:44.13psycho_oreosand purely targeting tmo is rather poor, theres many `propaganda' news saying n9 isn't specifically that great
12:44.29*** join/#n9 wirwe (~user@tmo-102-153.customers.d1-online.com)
12:44.58petteriwut?
12:45.12petterii was talking about there couple irc channels also
12:45.17petterithese
12:45.55psycho_oreosand sites like engadget?
12:47.24psycho_oreosn9 - dead before its born
12:47.25psycho_oreosbirth rather
12:47.25petterinever mind
12:47.31petterinice little zombi phone :)
12:47.50*** join/#n9 gabriel9 (~quassel@92.241.143.37)
12:48.22psycho_oreosit's an analogy
12:49.48psycho_oreosoh wait... engadget `sucked the fun out of n9'
12:50.14petteriheheh :)
12:50.30petterii think there is a little cultural barrier going on here
12:52.23psycho_oreosmore like comprehension difficulty.. almost everywhere one searches up reviews on n9 the results more or less agrees with each other.
12:52.49psycho_oreosnot just tmo, not just irc channels like these
12:55.21auenfall reviews say the same wrong thing about n9 not getting any apps cause its a deadend product?
12:55.38psycho_oreosthough I guess it wouldn't be relevant to you. They are all there to `suck the fun out of n9'
12:56.07psycho_oreosno, more than that, but that was a common theme
12:58.34psycho_oreosat least three other people along with myself loathed at n9 not being offered with a keyboard. They've either held back on upgrading or jumped platforms
12:59.26psycho_oreosI'm sure there were many more having gripes with n9 in various ways
13:00.22petteriprobably, but it sucks reading the same whinings from the same people all day
13:00.53petterithey should just get it out and move on
13:02.17psycho_oreosand those with the rare N950 would either keep that or buy n9. I'm sure deep down they would be happier if N950 were publically sold so others could benefit in some way and not have to put up with n9
13:03.33psycho_oreosyeah like those other ex nokia investors prior to nokia signing an agreement with microsoft and publically disclosing its plans with symbian, maemo and meego
13:04.24psycho_oreoslets all move on, nokia doesn't need those ex-investors, ex-whingers
13:11.40psycho_oreosI bet N950 would behave similar to N900, n9 on the other hand expects you to change your way of doing things
13:13.21petterii tried N950, it did not feel as nice as N9
13:14.15psycho_oreosbut no, N950 is not publically available and never will be, so one whom tinkered with N900 is forced to change radically
13:14.58petteriyes, apps are much nicer and the swipe interface is a big improvement
13:15.22petteriemail and calendar were not usable with N900
13:15.55petterin9 seems so much more polished than n900
13:16.02psycho_oreosI bet N950 would function much better than n9, at least it has proper dev tools that otherwise on n9, one tries to install them and n9 turns around stripping developer rights
13:16.11psycho_oreoshardly
13:16.32petteriqtsdk worked out of the box with my n9
13:16.53petterijust pluged n9 in to my computer and i could deploy my app on n9
13:17.34petteriwas so much more work to compile stuff with scratchbox and test those with Xephyr
13:17.39psycho_oreosno copy and paste in browser, no playlist creation in music, no proper dev tools in commandline. n9 essentially is a perfect device for those who don't like tinkering
13:17.56petteripsycho_oreos: you already said thos
13:17.57petterie
13:18.20petteriabout an hour ago
13:19.29psycho_oreospetteri: nothing wrong with reinstating my arguments, I'
13:19.30psycho_oreosI'm sure theres more but I cbf listing the woes
13:20.16petteripsycho_oreos: so have you done any coding on n900
13:22.38psycho_oreosagain missing the point, how is n9 better than N950 is really beyond me. It just makes more sense that imk whoever thinks n9 is superior are no different to those whom never jailbroke their iphones, crackdd their cracberries, rooted their androids, fake certed their symbians, etc
13:29.20petterithe coding part was not related to anything else, just asking
