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

I don' get it.

That photo just shows me:
1. Volume control on side
2. LED flashlight (small circle)
3. Camera lense (largesquare/circle)

What's so intriguing about that photo???

The only way to hold a corporation to account in the marketplace is not to buy their products.

Continual support of Nokia if you are not happy with its products is just silly.

If you want to support FOSS and Meego then buy Meego phones from other companies - i.e. LG releasing some phones I believe.

Of course if the hardware is good enough for you then just get this phone, but dont expect people to "forget" how we were treated.

And Yes I believe all Nokia bashing is fully justified - their past behavior is indefensible, and as a consumer the only power you have to reprimand them is NOT to buy their products.

Dude, look at the shadows. They prove the moon landing was faked!

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

i bet that visible screw were only for the prototype.
i'm more and more sure now that they decided to put the open/close screen slide button at this part of the device to make it better accessible than the N900 one.
if it the case, I like this but hope we have to lock/unlock by a down press much practice than a up press for me. :-)

For the E7 I think you put the sim card into the side right? They might implement this with the N9. It sucks that you need to unscrew for the battery tho.

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

This is exactly how I feel - the only reason I consider this is the potentially good hardware/design and the fact that there is nothing else out there other then droid I would consider.

What I do know is:
- there won't be a stylus,
- the screen is going to be capacitive, with no support of pressure levels,
- Nokia R&D is cut and the MeeGo part will be further reduced once this device is out,
- it'll start at a recommended £400 or higher,
- support will be **** poor, because Nokia is firing everybody and even today Maemo support is considered to be lacking,
- there'll be no in-brand upgrade path within a 12 months life cycle.

There's a lots of cons, though
+ it's going to be a full OS where all competition use sandboxes or trimmed down OSs.

That's an important Pro, isn't it? Let's see what LG comes up with.
I think Intel should come out with Intel branded, HTC built devices. Like everybody else.

I'm also a believer that it was fake. But I hope this N9 isn't. :p

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

Why is everyone so sure the N9 will use an omap chip?

Was it not common knowledge that Intel had won the contract for the N9.. including the Atom 1.2GHz

Whatever they're using it's fast.. very fast.. you guys should stop worrying :)

Just to add some more fuel to the fire

That article says miniUSB... not microUSB. Dunno.
