Re: N9: It's finally here

How easily Maemo applications would work in Meego? There are a couple of Maemo applications(SunVox) that would make this infinitely more interesting, than any Android phone.

Re: N9: It's finally here

OMAP 4xxx, Phy Keyboard, HDMI Out missing :(

Re: N9: It's finally here

Well, the pre-reviews are slowly coming in, as well as some hands-on reviews.

Mostly extremely positive (in the, wow, Nokia made a great phone way), but almost none fail to mention the burning platform/apps/development issues.

A few are actually flabbergasted as to what Nokia was thinking... Great UI on a platform they have been explicit they will abandon, hence difficult to recommend.

Re: N9: It's finally here

Does anyone know if N9 has full Nokia Maps, with proper TurnByTurn Navigation?

If it does then can someone at Nokia explain why the hell the N900 never got it to this day please???

(not holding my breath for that last one to be answered)

Re: N9: It's finally here

Ahh, no keyboard was disapointing, and the UI looked..shitty I guess.
And whats up with no desktop.:|

OHwell, it's a pass from me. Maybe im to much of a N900 fan boy. But hey, who can blame me !

Re: N9: It's finally here

Many phone geeks like hardware keyboard. Subjectively, it gives more control. Objectively, it leaves the screen clear from fingers while typing. Historically we haven't been impressed with touchscreen keyboards (except maybe qole;)).

A very important point. I agree :)

Sorry, not happening (edit: unless this speculation from marrat turns out to be true; I hope it does!). FM transmitter in the N900 requires hardware which the N9 does not seem to have.

Agree.

Sweet.

Yes and no. N9 isn't running plain MeeGo, but rather what Nokia call "the outcome of the MeeGo effort". It's a blend. Other people here have posted better explanations than I could of exactly where the line is drawn.

As open as the N900 (so some core bits like display drivers you can expect to be closed).

Yes, without a doubt; totally integrated out of the box. Read the full N9 spec from Nokia, as it answers many of your questions.

It's open. You can install anything, or write your own. This isn't the Apple We-Control-What-You-Install App Store. You can install whatever you like, and what you do with it is up to you. I'm not a lawyer but it may be illegal to download/upload copyrighted stuff, blah blah blah.

Again, not really. And you won't be able to get an N950 (and neither will I), but the N9 is looking pretty sweet.

Thanks for your answers.
