What cannot be denied is that Apple continue to add the latest hardware to each revision.
Apple adds hardware like it's a check list. Resolution didn't matter until they upped theirs (both camera and screen). What about adding a flash, wasn't important until they did it. In the end the new iPhone is more on par with the N900 than beyond it. It just has nice packaging.

sorry its 8 megapixels still 720p thought and resolution will be 960-480

Who knows? If Nokia wants Customer then they have to risk it by releasing top notch hardware and providing top notch software support and upgrades.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but adding led flash, front camera, underclocked A8 with SGX535 is not the latest. The screen yes, since they had to quadruple the resolution in order for the older apps to work for which they had no choice especially by keeping the shitty ratio.

It is looking increasingly unlikely that the N9 will be announced at nokia world. Especially i am surprised at the lack of leaks of specs.... something is not right.

Nokia connecting people but expecting delay...As usual

Re: N9 technical specifications appeared rumoured
 
now nokia is REALLY on the ball ... A-15 eagle (which announced TI as a partner months ago) has been officially announced and will be ready come 2013! and according to the road map the A9 arch is about to see some releases this year, exciting!: http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/393/armroadmap.png

looking good :) fingers-X ... i hope there is no delay and i hope that they had foresight enough to have stellar hardware, and not also ran hardware.

in order for MeeGo to establish itself as a competitor, esp as the nerd.alt which is the air where it would be most successful, it needs to have hardware as discerning as its potential owners. but entering at a disadvantage to the WinMo7 hardware (also entering the scene) and potential Android upgrades ... eventually (same product cycle) will be more than a marketing mistake. it will create the framework with which ppl associate the software. first impressions and all that ...

Looks a bit like what you'd get if you crossed a N900 with a 7710...

Does it not look like all N8's ? The florescent ones (2) somehow look a bit bigger - maybe the E series version.

That would be a portable battery pack, I'd guess.

The N900 has a Cortex A8 which you can run at 1Ghz quite easily. A Cortex A9 (or equivalent) at > 1Ghz would be much better, and will probably be the high end standard next year

Lullen 2010-09-13 10:32
Re: N9 technical specifications appeared rumoured
 
The Cortex A8 at 1ghz is not the same as our A8 overclocked to 1ghz. The new A8 is built dimensions wich means better preformance and lower battery usage

Deaconclgi 2010-09-13 11:23
Re: N9 technical specifications appeared rumoured
 
It also matters if the GPU is more powerful or not. CPU speed will only do so much for you. The GPU will take care of the UI, video and games. Hopefully they will use the most powerful GPU that can be combined with the A8.

Would love to see this CBD(clear black display) in N9 as well.
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....--engadget.jpg
(E7 in left with CBD and n8 with AMOLED screen in right)
Problem might be if it's not availabe for ~854x480 resolution. Same as S AMOLED isn't(pentile screens).

because the GPU used in the TI Omap3 SoC's is the SGX530, which is already less powerful than the current Samsung/Apple SoC's which currently sport the SGX535.

given that the MeeGo app/games market is likely to start very small, it will receive cheap ports at best which means it needs a performance advantage.

The new hummingbird chip uses the SGX540 gpu, and will be turning up in phones very soon.

This is why Nokia need Omap4, not just for the dual-core A9 CPU, but because it too incorporates the SGX 540 GPU.

Hummingbird with SGX540 is already inside my Galaxy S and in Wave also.

sorry, what's "pentile"?

i like 16:9, so i hope Nokia moves to 960x540, i.e. one quarter of full HD.

Nokia swapped out its CEO for a Microsoft guy last week. I wonder if that had anything to do with the delays. Maybe the N9 will switch from Meego to WinCE.

I shouldn't even comment on these anymore and i can't be bothered to write all what Ollila and others have said already, but we wont be seeing wp7 inside Nokia phones.
I wont say ever but for the next 3 years, no.

It's funny that this guy have been working for Microsoft only for 2 years and hold many other positions as well but suddenly he is Steve Ballmer himself. It also tells me that people have no idea as how many agreements with example chip makers and work for services and software Nokia would need to do to make wp7 a platform for Nokia.
Something that Nokia has been working for years for Symbian, Harmattan and work done for qt altready.

Mike, Eldar Murtazin started rumour about N9 coming out in q1 rather than q4 this year. I wouldn't be too worried yet as he said the same about N900.

MeeGo announcements will be this year like said in the Nokia World keynote. Release date have been said to be 2H this year by two Nokia execs so lets see.

MeeGo a no-show at NokiaWorld, but CTO says it's "critically important

Quote:
The reason why MeeGo didn't figure prominently in Nokia's announcements during the event, he explained, is because the company isn't ready to disclose specific MeeGo product plans yet. He says that Nokia is becoming more disciplined about how it presents its roadmap and articulates its product strategy. The company will only talk about products that are ready to ship, rather than products that are in the pipeline.
This was the first thing Vanjoki said when he got his position as head of Nokia's Mobile Solutions in January this year. Anybody who have followed Nokia in the past knows the pain of device getting announced 6 months before the release.

Lullen 2010-09-20 16:56
Re: N9 technical specifications appeared rumoured
 
Maybe they announce it later so it will come to market faster from when its announced. I think I have heared something like that so I am not afraid that they will release it in 2011

HoHoHo...If n9 will reach the market before the end of this year. I don't see how nokia can wait to present the new phone...I want the new phone before christmas.

This definitely used to kill me with high end Nokias... When the device was announced 6 months before you could buy it, it usually meant I would hesitate to buy what was available because the "next thing" was already hitting the rumor mill. Why buy now when you know there is a cooler one just around the corner?

shady 2010-09-20 23:26
Re: N9 technical specifications appeared rumoured
 
the longer they wait, the more obsolete it will look when announced.

A9 + 128GB storage + 1280/720res

it should be a beast to rule H1 in 2011, but in my personal opinion it will be hardware found in devices that came out either during or before the summer. ie, before the iphone 4 ... i hope the "delack of announcement" was to upgrade the system board. TI is a HUGE sponsor of meego-fest 2010 i hope they arent showing up to just show off their old tech, esp when the new fabs are about to hit production. something fishy about reusing an A8, and the attention TI is giving this product release.

Re: N9 technical specifications appeared rumoured
 
I'm sure that we won't see any meego device released this year. I think it won't be released neither in Q1 2011. the reason that make me believe this is today Handset Test Report on N900: http://wiki.meego.com/Quality/Handse...ptance20100921

Browsing website over 3G (WCDMA) - Not support in meego 1.1 release.

Not able to shut down the Device(N900) via power button - Temporary solution, should be handled somewhere else in stack for 1.2.

meego 1.2 is expected to be ready in April 2011.

What do you think . we will see a meego phone in Q1 2011 or it will be postponed until end of Q2 2011?

jsomby 2010-09-21 08:22
Re: N9 technical specifications appeared rumoured
 
Its totally different to release some specs of hi-end device than manufacturing actually even one or more to show off without heavily bugs... story of nokia: Delays after delays.

They promise future device now, but when it's actually on market there are several equal or more powerful devices already.

These are current issues with 1.1 Meego on N900 device, nothing to do with the N9 current Meego status as It won't have this OS, but Meego-Harmattan, it has been commented a few times..

My bet anyhow is that it will indeed be postponed to Q2, but for other reasons than the OS

oh. so you say that the N9 will have the future version of maemo branded as meego? so it means that it will be debian based and not fedora?
