Hi Guys, happy new year !
This post is simply about some features that if correctly implemented, it'll make the N9 more reliable and productive utility ! And Frankly, coming from an N8 and an N900, i'm badly missing some essential features that need to be reconsidered by Nokia folks and management team and some nasty bugs that make other alternatives more reliable for daily tasks, i mean why should have an N9 with those bugs if my N8 and N900 (and iPhone 4) just work as expected?!
I'll list the most critical ones that annoy me, you can check out
bugzilla and fill your own bugs or feature requests ;) Some feature request were stated as "wontfix", you'll find reasons after bug description !
By priority !
*
Call Bug : Blank Seconds (Bug
118)
*
Make phone and sms applications on High priority processes (Bug :
533)
*
No graphical equalizer or Bass boost setting on music player (Bug :
504)

Nokia Suite support for N9 : (Bug
117)
Agreed. Nokia Link does not provide some features that Nokia Suite provided.
Unfortunately, Nokia Suite support is not planned for N9. However, your
feedback has been put forward to the management.
I would recommend you to directly use WLAN on your phone to download maps.
As for the sending/viewing text messages, phone is the way to go :)
*
No support for zip/rar files (Bug
308)
*
Emails bugs :
- Remove notification of new email when marked read on the server ( bug :
152 )

198 )
- Email Client doesn't recognize phone numbers ( bug :

* Flash support and web
browser enhancements...

Automatic Contact birthdays Sync on calendar (Bug
158)
Thanks for the report. It has been already fixed internally and will be available in future updates.
*
Better use of the notification light (Bug
389) :
Thanks for your feedback.
Unfortunately this is the behavior by design that LED notifications would be
redundant and just consume power. Of course it could be useful to have led
notifications if Low Power Mode(LPM) is disabled, but there are no plans to
change this intentional behavior. Most people will be happy with LPM. Thanks.
*
Skype & video call (Bug
309) :
Thanks for your feedback. But unfortunately, there are no plans to support
*
Smart dialing (Bug
505) :
Search application is actually pretty fast and list you all the possible
options. Also the contacts icon is just beside the dialler and does not any
additional traversal. Unfortunately there are no plans to change this behavior
by design. However thanks for your valuable input.
*
No sharing option available in the Music Player (bug :
92) :
Thanks for your feedback. This behavior is intentional as we do not intend to
encourage the distribution of music files from our apps.
*
Play Video, Music and Pictures to DLNA clients/TVs (Bug
405)
*
Get rid of "SMS" option to landlines numbers (Bug
404)
*
Tapping on a message in search results doesn't open the message itself ( bug :
124 )
*
Facebook/Twitter notifications (Bug
310)
Ps : Some of bugs listed above are already fixed or under consideration, let's hope the most critical ones will be a part of the next
PR1.2 as really the experience was a lot iPhone-like dumbed (even more) and if i want a dumbed "smart"phone, thanks i have already an iPhone and with a lot of application and tweaks that keep me forgetting its limitations...
