I like the Xperia Play. Won't be playing games like Angry Birds on that though.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

i might be interested in that Dell 'Hancock' model coming out maybe in q4 depending on how Ice Cream turns out, but i really don't wanna make the move to Android unless there isn't another option... so here's hoping Nokia's meego device is half decent, or intel manages to get somebody to birth out a decent meego running handset.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

Looks 99% like the N900. Should be a good replacement. Those folks looking for succession plan on the Nokia/WP7 threads should consider it :p

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

If the N9 will have the option of dual boot with Win7 or Android then I would be happy to buy it. Not that I would use Win7 but it's good to have it incase of Nokia stopped supporting MeeGO after released.

Nokia N9-01 MeeGo handset could be announced today, but N9-00 is canned

Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop said on Friday that a MeeGo product would be launched this year. Now TechCrunch Europe's source has claimed the product is code-named the N9-01, and that it's a touchscreen device without a physical keyboard, but with a user interface designed by "a three person external team rather than any of Nokia's hundreds of internal designers".

The source suggested the device could be announced at Nokia's Mobile World Congress press conference tonight. But, if the device is indeed the N9-01, what happened to the N9-00, which was expected to be the first MeeGo device to go on sale? TechCrunch's source confirmed earlier reports that the handset has been canned, suggesting operators rejected the N9-00 because of a "flimsy" keyboard mechanism.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

Pfffft.
Well, I was one of the first to have the N900. had it ordered weeks before it was released. I waited and waited- had trouble with the 1st one and got it replaced.
And now my 18mth contract is up. And the paint on my keys is wearing badly so it won't last another contract- and I'd like perhaps a thinner phone although Im not sure how I'd cope with only a virtual keyboard--
but I am MORTIFIED because I just can't find anything else that takes my fancy. Everything seems disappointing.
Any ideas anyone please?
I hate Windows on my PCs and my other half has iPhone4 which is nice but not really geeky enough.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

^^ has it been that long?? I still remember the anxious waiting! I've never had a phone for this long (since Dec 09 too) - still love it and NO intention of changing it.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

Anyone have experience with N900 phones you buy on ebay from Hong Kong

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

Ninjaboxergirl: N9 obviously?

That happens to be my answer as well to the question posed in this thread.

After a bad string of Nokias (N97 was utter fail, N900 was slow and clunky although insanely awesome in all other regards, N8 was just... well it was pretty damn bad, then the SGS2 which Im really happy with.

But now theres N9. So Im getting an N9.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

Honestly, I wouldnt trade in my n900 in for ANY phone on the market today. The possibilities are endless. There is only one point on wich i would consider hoppin over for to a different phone, and thats a lack of whatsapp.

In my opinion, it totally depends on Meego. Will it be anything like maemo? If so, trust me I'll be the first to buy the new device. A little smaller phone, fresh appearance, more options (since, yes i hate to admit, maemo IS dying bit by bit....).

To make a long story short: NO android, NO iphone, NO symbian.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

The UI of meego harmattan doesn't exactly look like maemo. They may share minor similarities but harmattan looks literally different to me.

I'm talking in terms of judging by the videos that the lucky N950 devs posted.

Also you said no to those three but it seems like you missed out, WP7, Blackberry, moblin and the codename maltemi. Oh there's S40 and I think QNX?

maemo is dying and unfortunately meego for handhelds seems to be also dying. Meego as far as I can see requires a mobile phone manufacturer to produce the required device since nokia was the first to pull out of the joint venture with intel.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

hmm maybe the (mango or summin like that) windows version. But as i read your story, I should just stick with n900, maybe in the future some phone company might be brilliant enough to realise that the concept of the n900 is just awesome

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

After the N900 i'm getting more N900 :D

The N9 it's not what i'm looking for, the hardware keyboard is missing :( too bad..)

Maemo 5 it's just that great, once you try it you don't want anything else !:D (even Meego)

Plus i'm impress how great it can handle 64GB(having only 8GB free of memory :) I'm seriously crazy about my N900!:D lol ^^

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

Sad to say I know exactly what my next phone will be because I ordered it already. I am not happy. It's not the answer to the n900. I would expect the answer to be and do everything the n900 does PLUS more. However, nokia has failed to provide this. So, now I have ot comprimise my wants with the sincere desire to have an u to date phone. I bought the n900 a week after it came out and have had it ever since. Going to miss this community. However, I can't afford to shell out more money on it. I have been through 3 n900 in the past based on the USB port issue. anyway with all that being said I am buying a nokia Lumia 920. Not cause I want to but because i think it would be the best for me.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

L920?

that's a poor N900 replacement.
it would be kinda decent choise IF you were coming from an N8.

but from a N900...?

you should grab yourself a Motorola Droid 3/4 or ,even better, wait for Jolla's phone.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

or.... you could have been waiting, what Jolla will show up in 2 weeks....

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

I would rather wait for the Jolla phone but Jolla is a new start up company. Before they make serious feature phones they have to establish a base and make money by sellign ot normal users. That means nothing truely high end probably for a few years. This is my speculation. I imagine they will make some awesome low end to mid rang phones fo r awhile untill they can afford to do the big boy phones or our society becomes more tech savvy and the damand is there for such a supply in regards to high end smart phones. Right now it's not. I am guesing we will see a lot of good stuff from Jolla. Just not any time in the near future that would interest a n900 user.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

If I may ask, why are you spending a bunch of money on a device you don't want? :)

Honestly, if you're just looking for build quality and great support, just skip the current generation of Nokia and go straight to Apple. The iPhone is built like a tank (the latest one seems to be the strongest yet), and the company will bend over backwards to fix any problems.

But yeah, if you're looking for a true successor to the N900, right now, there's nothing out there. :(

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

for one. I replace maybe 3 iphone 4 and 4s screens per week so they're not that tank like. Also, I have delt with apple customer support. I was recently tasked with integrating mac book pro retina displays into our active directory environment at work. It wasnt fun... anyway, there was a issue with some of the file shares and I reached out to apple. They were clueless. ofcourse they would claim it's because its a windows environment blaka blaka they can't really help cause it isn't mac. I ended up fixing the probon my own so... support not so much. Unless I want to know something simp0le like syncing with iTunes I don't think to much of their support. I think apple is a great phone for the average user. I am not the average user. I actually used ALL the bells and whistles the n900 was equipped with with to include some ameture pin testing. Apple UI is old to me. I want something new and innovative. I new way to interact with the device.. in fact a device that interacts with me. Nokia has always pushed that very same envelope so it seemed like the next logical step.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

But man, Nokia has dumped their entire software R&D infrastructure and picked up Microsoft's product. They have explicitly given up on "new and innovative", and are instead now doing what all the other big players are doing: attempting to grab a piece of Apple's pie.

I can't see any Windows Phone device pushing any envelopes any time soon...

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

good point. How will they get a peice of that pie? it will not happen using the same ol same ol. I think they have to do better than that and they have with wp8. I think they got mobile right this time. Not ALL right.. but right. live tiles and the native nokia apps on the phone are very innovative. idk, I guess shock and awe for me. lol. Like I was devestated and made an impulse buy out of frustration. I hope I am not toooooo dissapointed. Will report back in a thread in case anyone wants to know how it turned out.

Re: After the Nokia N900...
 

I'm living in China. i would buy a iphone 5s next year, which contains NFC and TD-LTE. In China, you can't get into twitter, facebook like social networks. So the local app is the most important thing here. TD-LTE is the 4G standard in China. I believe 5s can use this network.
