so disappointing... i had high hopes.
The vast majority of chatter will be people having problems or not happy with some aspect.
It's just the way people operate.....
However, it is true that there's quite a few bugs that are yet to be resolved, or have only just cropped-up thanks to 1.2.
Now that Nokia's winding down the amount of features they're adding, they can focus mainly on getting bugs squished.
Unfortunately they can't treat both as equally important anymore, as the team has shrunk hugely since this time last yr.
Also that lag is normal, once clean-up & re-indexing is done it'll disappear...
Generally it's only a few minutes following the first boot-up....
But it can vary hugely depending on the size of your media library, & other personal data.

You certainly sounded pretty righteous that those with issues had fakes.
To the point where peeps were telling you to STFU already.
Now we know the issue most of them were having with the body, was due to this clear coat.
Agreed.
Really
Fact 1. Not a single peeling issue has been reported from N9 that are "made in Finland".
Fact 2. My N9 is 5 months old and made in Finland. No peeling of any kind (touch wood)
Fact 3. The N9 has a clear coat of hardened polycarbonate on top of the main polycarbonate. It is NOT painted.
I still believe that peeling issues are mostly related to fake units. Fake in the sense that bad batches has entered the market through dubious resellers and outlets. But also fake in the sense that cheap plastic imitations of the housing are floating around.
The peeling clearly is a production error (on those that are genuine Nokia). But IMO Nokia has done a piss poor design job. They should not have coated them in the first place. There is no need for this coating other than visual appearance. The white ones may in fact need it, or else it wouldn't stay white for all that long. The whole story is just sad, because what could and should have been real cool, has ended up being a joke.

Meanwhile, the Australian N9 that I own, made in China, has no issues.
I'd check those "facts" before stating them as such.

OT: Please don't include high-resolution images in quotes. This thread has crippled microb on my N900 a couple of times.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

I think the OP should change the title to the more appropriate: You know you got a fake when it starts chipping away at edges.

So since we're talking semantics and correction here; my USB latch on my Finnish built Nokia N9 that I purchased via Axiom Telecom in Dubai has a chipped place on the Nokia USB Latch that comes on top of the Nokia N9 MeeGo based phone.
Now, are we clear now? This emulates the OP in his very first picture.

I think the OP should do nothing of the sort.
We are left with the cold truth, you may hate it, but the truth is the truth.
Non Finnish made N9s have been reported peeling.
No Finnish made N9s has ever been reported peeling.
This makes me happy, cause I got the real thing. High quality and high resale value

What part of "I have a Finnish N9 that's peeling" do you have a problem reading?
