Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread
It's still a bit early to pass judgement. but when did that stop any of us? :D
I'm as keen as anyone to get my hands on the first Nokia MeeGo/MeeGo compatible handset as that's a direction I want to continue to develop in. That there has been no MeeGo handset stalled my interest in the OS, so it's a sight for sore eyes to see the N9 officially announced :) (I'm not inc the N900 or the excellent MeeGo DE/CE project ofcourse). The lack of a hardware keyboard sounds like it might be difficult in regards to developing on the device, as I'm someone who likes to open up Xterm, launch leafpad, and type a few lines in and test away on the device. Ofcourse no Xterm would be even worse though :p And Im not convinced yet about the whole 'swipe' UI, but im open to it as so many people are raving about it.. However I'm liking the blue color, i think I need me one of those ;) The extra RAM is going to make a huge different to those of us who suffered with the laggy N900. 8mpx is plenty for a mobile device, quite frankly I'd be happy with 5 and updated camera software and image processing. And I'd like to support all the guys at Nokia who still believe in MeeGo by putting a +1 in the sales tally. I already have a Samsung GS2 for my everyday phone, so i don't need something I can't develop on - I'll give the N9 some serious thought after a hands on. All this is assuming, ofcourse, that it's released in the UK market... On the other hand we expect there to be a developer's device but there's no word yet on how to be eligible for one. It is expected to have a hardware keyboard but is apparently missing NFC - one of the areas I research into is wireless technoologies and NFC would be useful. But it's still not announced, nor do we know how to get one - hopefuly it'll be the same as the N900 where folks over a certain amount of forum karma got a discount - so it's impossible to compare until we know more. If QWidget is gone I'll need to port a lot of my earlier projects to QML. But it seems that either device is still a compromise to develop on, I miss the days of the N95 when Nokia threw everything and the kitchen sink into their smartphones :) |

f/2.2 camera is great! Can't wait to see FCam ported onto Harmattan.
Why A-GPS though? Ugh. I tag my photos with GPS and if I get this phone I won't be able to tag photos in countries where I do not have a local SIM card which is sometimes the case. Ugh. Apparently they're saving the good stuff for the Mango. |
Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread
You Guys don't worry, Preenv will be available for this phone! mouhahahahahaha!!

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread
Please note -- the N9 is not MeeGo-compliant!!
If you want to buy the N9 as a MeeGo development device, please don't. The N9 runs a 'slightly MeeGo-compatible Harmattan', i.e., another one-device Nokia OS to be abandonded in a year. Quote:

Ok, maybe we'll see. Also, Nokia could be preparing NFC-enabled media receivers for video also, as they have the Nokia Wireless Music Receiver (MD-310). |
