Re: N9: It's finally here
 

I am really torn about this one. Why another closed UX on a platform that won't get long term support? No landscape and not fixable? The reverse maemo. This device would have been the perfect start for Nokia to move from symbian to meego for the masses.
However, the device for the masses will be WP. So what is the point? Killer/trial features would be great for this as them not working could always be blamed on the linux OS, while success could be mainstreamed through WP.
No SD slot?
Anyway I will probably get one for my wife as it looks great for what it is just not what it should be.

incoherent ramble end.

That would have required better CPU anyway

i would like to hope so.

my contract is up on my n900.

They were probably referring to the swipe gesture to get to the task switcher. No need for Ctrl+Backspace, and thus no need for HWKB. This is what counts as amazing innovation in post 11-02-2011 Nokia. ;)

I say Holy-unneccessary-and-imprecise-swipe-gestures Batman. :p

In my opinion Flash 10.x works pretty well on N900 when you are using the latest NITDroid.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

remember, a lot of us are coming from the *geek* community so we have learned to love the N900 for what it is. this phone, the N9, is not meant for that community (at least not from the bits of information that have surfaced so far) so there's bound to be dislikes / hatred. it doesn't mean the phone is bad. it just means Nokia is targeting a different segment. this might just be a stop-gap measure until their WP phone appears.

if what i'm reading is right, the majority of folks whom nokia are targeting and who might buy this device will probably not care that it runs meego underneath. so it makes perfect sense for nokia to release this phone now.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

There is a new device called N9 with MeeGo 1.2 HARMATTAN on it.
So it seems to be step 5 and that means, because it is step 5 of 5 there will be no further steps. That's sad because step 5 couldn't convinced me.

I don't know on which price the N9 will be sold, but if it is not really cheap i fear it will not be very successful. And if it isn't successful I fear there will be no successor.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

such a shame that nokia is going wp7. Personally I don't need many apps, so I will buy it anyway.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

Seriously. Give me a decent email app, and I'll buy this one. IMO Modest is a joke that gets old pretty soon.

They couldn't have done better hardware for a bestseller. Looks great and reasonable specs (more would have made it too expensive).
