Anyone want to help out on #maemo cracking open the EMMC firmware images Nokia's handing out? They'll likely boot on the N900, given that they run on an OMAP3 3630 and the same GPU, a SGX530.
What would be a few weeks? July would be nice, August still... but September seems almost a bit too late, shortly before Windows Phone announcements...

The device has 64GB internal memory! The more demos I see of it, the more I want one.

People should learn to not only read how cool HW spec and thinks its the only thing that is important. Cause its not!
i can be damn sure i wanted more GPU than the (now) anaemic SGX530.

regardless, i will buy the phone, looks great.

Saying that "The N9 is very much about world's firsts" such as the features you listed, implies that without those features the N9's appeal would be very much reduced.

IMO this is not true. I assume it would still have:
  • a largely open, linux-based OS.
  • a flashy new UI.
  • a fast and capable web browser.
  • a great quality (albeit 4:3) camera.
  • great build quality.
  • free, off-line sat-nav capabilities.
  • USB host capabilities.

None of which are world's firsts... Nokia has done them all before.

No hardware keyboard. Honestly, I can take it or leave it. I use both hardware and software keyboards on my N900.
Honestly... If you can put up with the software keyboard on the N900, you will be in for a treat.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 
I've been away quite a bit (moved on to other systems, like many others...) so excuse me for not knowing this off-hand, couldn't find the information here very easily either, so: will this N9 UI be available on the N900 through some Nokia/non-Nokia project? I remember that there used to be some talk about such things, but what's the currect status - will Nokia help people upgrade to the N9 UI? I'm really not interested in the standard Meego UI, it looks terrible to tell you the truth, but this new Meego-Harmattan from the N9 is at least interesting, so any chance of this coming to the N900 at some point?

How about this first impression:

Is that really not good enough, just because the numbers don't look exciting? I could understand nervousness if you are big on gaming and want to be sure that games on your phone can get those last few polygons on the screen, but if gaming is your primary concern, then you should obviously go with a bigger platform anyway. Some 3D games that will be available for the N9 also look gorgeous and run completely fluidly.
