You are not alone, especially in this world of talk.maemo.org, but reality is that any sales statistics on smartphones tells you that monoblock device outsell by a huge margin any QWERTY devices. Just go into a shop a check out how many QWERTY smartphones you will find.

They said that the applications would be one of the three most important things we use phones for. And I see no 30 fps on the maps for example. I have always put very little emphasis on the "menu experience". That has no importance for me. The menu experience is merely an incidental feature, not something I use phone for.

And...I mean, I'm not trying to make a quarrel here. I actually want some of you experts talk me over this.

Why would I want Omap3? Is the battery life meaningfully longer now? I mean by several hours? Is it about 100$ cheaper now? Would there ever be amazing mobile synthesizer?

So, this proves that Ellop lied about the reasons for chosing WP7 (not being ready in time and the ability to differenciate).
Will this have future? Only if there is a big gap between the date ot its releases and WP7īs.
Are they planing to release more phones in a future (1.5-2 years)?
Does anybody else think that the ui could be the foundation for a tablet that could compete with the iPad, like Ellop said?

This phone could be a bestseller, the design alone will attract lots of people in stores and the UI ideas are really neat. I like the swiping between app launcher, open apps and notifications, and all the other swipe actions. But what will nokia do if the N9 sells good? I don't see the point in this device right now.

Mainstream future? No it won't. It won't be produced, marketed or pushed to carriers in amounts that would give it a chance to have any significant mainstream effect.

It might have future as a interesting geeky Linux device.

It's not made by Microsoft. No future in Nokia.

If they wanted they could have brought multiple meego handsets with similar specs to the market. Its not exactly high-end. I expected specs beyond the need of wp7.

The N900 is a NIT not a phone
