Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Nokia has done a good job with this leak : they gave us good pictures to make us interested but then they didn't give us much detailed technical info, thus keeping us wondering and generating more buzz ;) ...

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Not sure what sort of buzz you experiencing though, I can hear BuzzLightyear next to my ears!!

If (N9Hardware >= iPhone4Hardware) {
return true;
} else { return FAILED}

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

If only that comparison would be possible. Considering the form factor of the phones is different it’s apple-to-orange land anyway.


Read that back once again. It supports 720p but at what realistic fps and codecs ? It says 720x480 at 30fps, 720p is bound to be less fps (lot less). Only the higher-clocked 36xx SOCs boast prominently being able to play back 720p content.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I think not just 36XX take a look at OmniaHD as an example.

It recording at 720p and play back because of AMOLED
This really show that N900 is somewhat capable of handling 720p if and only if the OS allowing it and having the right optimised codec.
I wandering why Nokia didn't take some risk in enabling it. Recording at 720 would be possible too, I believe I read somewhere about this that N900 can do 720 but will be on the edge and may be difficult to do it with its current OS.

But on the other hand Nokia can't even get the 848x480p to work properly already. I don't see they can get anything done with this at all. Even samsung can do it with almost identicle hardware lol this is terribly embarassing for me personally.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

no guys that will be a new version of the N8 ... i dont know where, but i red it before, that this IS NOT the meego phone...

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Looking good so far... ;)

Guess I know what I'll be reading about until launch (deja vu?)... :)

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Okay I need to vent about this leak just a little bit:

- Why does it look so much like the N8? What could be the point behind making the next MeeGo device look like the cheaper Symbian powered device? Why not make the MeeGo device stand out, instead of making it look like "N8 with a keyboard"?

- The two devices will be in totally different price categories, with the MeeGo device in the 600+ euros and the N8 has its pre-order bs price at 499 euros. That 499 euros will soon translate into 399e special prices as stores actually get hold of the device and race to sell it at the cheapest price to attract the early adopters. Why would these two devices then be in two completely separate price categories and look almost identical? In Finland at least, the 5800XM was around 350-399euros once it came out.

- The N900 was marketed as a mobile computer. The same doesn't seem to happening for the N8. So why would this physical appearance be adopted to a device that aims to serve the needs of the true power users? Two devices, two different

EDIT: Okay while I typed this next bit became already discussed, but still I feel that it's not been sufficiently revealed:

- Why aren't we speculating if this is a (more advanced) prototype of this device? I mean doesn't that UI in there look a lot like Symbian^4? Why is this supposed to be a MeeGo device and not a S^4 device?

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

BEcause N9 is KNOWN to be MEEGO DEVICE, hence its not Symbian 4.

Symbian 4 is pretty far off, sometime 2011 it is coming.

I think the hardware is amazing, and if all the top end is Aluminium casing its awesome.
