So there may not be that much info from Nokia about Harmattan next week after all. Maybe it's Intel that turns up the heat? :D

Edit: Full schedule: http://sf2011.meego.com/program/session-schedule

Quim's presentation is rejected!!!?! Is this a snub to Nokia by Intel???

i would hope this does have a dual-core (said as music stutters on his n900 from loading webpages), not least because newer dual-core designs will have a stronger gpu.............. needed for this higher resolution screen!

p.s. is this camera different from the n8 camera, and if so is it because it is a af rather than edopf camera?

cheers

N8 has AF camera!

-no oled display

-no infrared
-only 5MP camera
-no 1080p recording
-only 512mb ram
-no dual-core cpu
-no 4G

Just nuts, especially on the 4G part, there is no real 4G yet, what carriers claim to be 4G they provide is nothing like 4G.

So if we repeat all rumor :
...
- OS sort of first handset meego built (with sort of anna icons pack)
- Ovi/Nokia Maps full like symbian one
...
and we still don't know about :
...
- Video codecs ?
...

It is only branded meego but the software is maemoX+meego compatibility stack.
Where did you get the full OviMaps from...?
Video codecs? You have no clue about linux do you?

I should grab some popcorn...
You guys start to behave like little children just before x-mas...

Re: Nokia N9 Teaser - is this meego or harmattan?

I fail to see the excitement about having a nHD resolution..as if guys here are clinging to the less importent stuff that seems to overshadow this N9/50.
I agree that having a nHD resolution phone FIRST(i find it a gimmick) would be awesome. but to be honest the N900 screen is satisfying in my mind, as it responsive and works ok under sunlight. I also figure that a huge resolution will require a top notch graphics chip plus a neafty battery which by the FCC seems to be somewhat small(1200?). We know that the camera would be awesome, but i think i'm not the only one that it doesnt matter to him.

However, we have to look at the other presumable specs.
For example, if it doesnt have hardware keyboard you can count me out. We also know that Meego is far from being ready.
if the story about the RM-680 being that device, then it will have quite outdated components..i can already see Nokia getting slammed for it and their brand name will get worst...

I am not rulling out buying one, but i wont buy anything for a year from now so all im saying is to wait and also focus on the important things.

Two things that I think aren't being addressed here:

1. Why make a promotional video with this budget, if the device is meant for developers only. Just show devs a specsheet, show them a powerpoint about how easy it will be to make apps and make a few dollars on the platform. Then just toss them devices at Nokia World for example. I don't think there's any point making such an elaborate video for devs only.

2. Why are we sure that the screen images aren't simulated? We see the screen from a multitude of angles, but I think its still plausible. The N900 video sure had simulated screens and we've seen them in smartphone ads before. This means that they could've put anything on the screen, and in reality have no software together to show anywhere on any device.

My two cents. Oh and guys, be more clear about your sources please. If you can't say, don't say anything at all.

1.
History of the RM-680 is old, really old. http://nokiagadgets.com/?p=663
There has happened lots of stuff between and that ad(that's not offically from a Nokia source) could just as well be from last year when previously first MeeGo device was supposed to be seen.

2.
Totally agree. Especially thinking if this teaser, ad is very old the possibilities for that are even higher. So far i'm not letting myself to get hyped about reso from a ad screencaps.

Re: Nokia N9 Teaser - is this meego or harmattan?

is'nt nHD Nokias 640*360 screens? you guys are really mixing up the terminology in this thread, I'm confused :confused:

No, his point is that it is Not Quite MeeGo. So it is probably dependent on Nokia for updates until a pure MeeGo based stack can be built for it (which will probably happen.)

Re: Nokia N9 Teaser - is this meego or harmattan?

Thanks for this clear answer wmarone, that's for me the essential condition for buy or not this device.
