Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

To be honest, I believe the chances for any kind of interesting 3rd party support were completely killed during Elopcalypse.

Some -- very nice -- stuff will be announced on day zero, but for a few months already I've not been expecting any kind of extended commitment.
If you believe the 3rd party support for the N900 was bad, there is no reason to believe it will improve with the N900+1 specially considering there's no clear upgrade path for the N900+1 (while there was for the N900 -- in fact it was expected for Maemo "to take over" the high-end Nokia lineup, a sizable and most importantly _tangible_ amount of device sales).

Whether that makes such device the best the smartphone market has to offer or the worst crap in history, is up to you...

But, hey, new device. Let's celebrate.

Add Sygic Aura tester xD

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

more or less...

no, I'm not an employee of Nokia or Intel.
sometimes I'm doing work for them (MeeGo afiliated companies). sometimes not. (for example as kojacker said as MeeGo Evangelist for Intel)

If you ask why I'm able to spread some information: I was successful to refuse signing NDAs in the past (could change anytime).
Everything I don't tell you is because of "gentlemen-agreements", because I could lose my reputation.
Everything I tell you could be up to changes.
for example last year I was told that the new MeeGo device will launch in november. that was not the case. I was informed some day in october.

at the moment it looks like there will be a developer device announced before the MeeGo conference and a consumer device sometimes after the meego conference. sometimes means in june as far as they told me.

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

FCC is heavily wounded? Why did N9 hit it? What is going on here people?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

We all go to pub just to check out if there are some fancy new smartphone prototypes, don't we? :D

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

If a developer device would be announced, how could one acquire it?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

will you attend the MeeGo Conference?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Unfortunately not. Would be there official channels to buy it later?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

I would have to partly guess on that question. So better I say nothing, don't you think?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Alright, let's wait then. I hope it'll be possible to buy it.

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

@zehjotkah do you think we will see a device announced this week?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

I didn't get a chance.. i literally just flicked around the home screens, although it's not like Maemo 5 home screens.. i don't normally grab phones off random people in bars.. he was fairly polite so i didn't wanna push it.

Look, i've eaten my words.. i totally thought this thing was gonna be a regurgitated E7.. but whatever is under the hood, it's a superior machine to anything i've played with before.. and that includes HTC's wp7 efforts..

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

I guess you mean a MeeGo/Harmattan device by Nokia.
Maybe not announced for the public, but yes, at the moment I think we'll see such a device.

Viewing outside of Nokia we may see other devices as well. Edit: Next week at the MeeGo Conference.

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Dev device would be interesting. As this is a hobby though and I live in a land down under making any dev meeting is near impossible. So any hints would be unexpected but appreciated. Although the wife will probably kill me if I get a new toy.

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Easy tiger;)

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Bit of an awkward question, but if this thing is real, and we can get our grubby mitts on it during the summer, (and it is actually flippin awesome like we hope) what will happen to the CSSU for the N900? I'm still waiting for a noob-safe package to be released, but if the N950 comes out and is sexier than Megan Fox covered in maple syrup, I'll be all about that and my N900 might have to join his Nokia cousins in my pants and socks drawer ;)

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

So tonight I was at the local pub, and this scrawny guy in a black turtleneck walked in with a phone in an N900 case, but it didn't really fit right. I spiked his drink with a potent cocktail of mind-altering drugs so he'd forget it on the bar, then shouted "Anyone know who this phone belongs to!" and quickly ducked out the door before anyone could answer, and took it home to examine.

I think it's the new N950, it looks pretty much like all the pictures on the internet, although the display has been upgraded to a high-resolution amber plasma panel with more contrast, so that's good. But it's not running real Meego. Apparently as part of their deal with Microsoft, Nokia now has a XENIX port (on-line documentation seems to suggest codename "Hartman") to serve as their Maemo successor. The Meego compatibility layers seems to have been replaced with AIX compatibility, which I guess is a step forwards, since I've never heard anyone accused the AIX platform of being on fire...


Anyway, it's now in a dumpster near my house; if someone wants to come get it, feel free. Don't want the corporate-controlled police coming after me for picking up a device I happened to find...

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

You make it too obvious. I mean, if you'd actually spiked the drink you wouldn't mentioned it here now would you?. Could have been so much better if it would have been more obscure. Still, I appreciate the effort :)

edit: typos and to make more sense

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

If this developer device will be the one with HW keyboard, I need to get my hands on it somehow. No matter how much it costs, I need to get this thing!

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Let's all overrun Nokia HQ tomorrow 12:15 at their lunch brakes!:D

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Hey guys this is a link to blog that claims to list the n9/50 hardware spec so what do yo think
ahttp://tips4tech.net/2011/04/nokia-n9-meego-os-4-0-inch-display-review-features-and-specifications/

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

BS b/c we know Java applications are not supported so can't trust any of it

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Probably just speculations... But let's wait a few more days and we'll know...

Grrrr what should I do now, I bought my N900 only 3 months ago (convinced that there would be no successor, at least not this soon)!

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Quoting the wrong battery specs too.

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

say if it did have the specs the same as the link above would you get it and what would you want to change
Ps the link mainly says
5mp camera
1 ghz snap
4 inch screen
512 ram
64gb storage
rest is in the article

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

These specs but with dual core cpu and 1gb dedicated ram + fm transmitter + infrared port :D

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

...and a lens cover at the back that automatically starts the camera application as soon as you open it... :rolleyes:
Oh, and a resistive screen. But we all have a different wishlist. :(

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

yep, true...

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

My Only Wish is for the damn devices to make an appearance, officially or unofficially I don't care I just want to see the UI/UX

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

but would you go for it as is hypotheticaly thinking the info in the blog i linked to turns out to be true

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

I cant grasp that thinking in my Mind b/c i Know it does not have that CPU, check out bug reports

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

+1

UI/UX by Peter Skillman ?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

For the lens cover it could be so easy... :(
Just release it without lens cover as it seems currently designed and put a light sensitive sensor under it like at the N900 but don't use it.
This way they could sell a seperate, thicker back cover including lens cover that interacts with the sensor. Everybody would be fine and they could earn more money.
The ones that want a thin device and the others that wants more comfort and a protected camera lense. :rolleyes:

But I guess something like this works only at small, innovative Companies without much bureaucracy and a influential quality management system. :(

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

I like your additions.

What´s up with lensecoverless camera´s on phones these days? Who removed the sanity from manufacturers?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Us users who are buying the thinner, lensecoverless phones?

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Any info on what kind of charging port it will have? Dual ports like the N8, or the familiar risky as hell treat like James Bond would disconnecting the red wire from a tangled mess inside a nuclear bomb micro USB port? Would be nice to put my new phone on charge and not have beads of sweat on my forehead each time I went to unplug it ;)

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

My main concern is about apps for this thing. I know there was a discussion earlier in this thread about DEB vs RPM, but will I be able to simply install apps from the extras repos here, or will there be a new set of Maemo6 repos with their own Maemo6 apps? This is the only thing left in my head that would make me wait and see. It's the apps from Extras that is my main love for my N900 - the developers are just amazing.

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

somebody said only python apps will the others wil need recompilation at the least

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

I hope the Nokia N9 is an excellent device!

it sells really well and a U-turn is made on the WP7 deal. Optimistic - but it might just work if the developers get behind Meego!

Re: N9 hits FCC???
 

Fantastic amount of interest on a hoax, it just goes to show how badly the need for a new device from Nokia as this thread is endless and will not stop i guess untill the "device" has arisen from hell or heaven whatever the case may turn out to be haha.
