maemo.org - Talk - The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

Yep even the dad of all MeeGo phones rumors, Michael- Dallas from early last year already said that Nokia had decided to strip some customazation of the UI that some of the old fans might not like.

Hopefully some decent community UXes will come out.

We need this unit to be wildly commercially successful, ideally in the US as well as the markets in which Nokia is traditionally stronger. If that means putting up with a less-configurable UX - which can (and will) be hacked in the weeks and months following its release - then so be it.

Please remember: we are not the standard users. Standard users want something shiny which allows them to check Lil Wayne's twitter, update Facebook with fabulous photos of their way cool night out and which looks sleek and sexy next to their friends' phones and also fits neatly in the back pocket of their designer jeans.

MeeGo - if done right on the right hardware - allows us to have it both ways.

Neo freerunner can do it.
