maemo.org - Talk - The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

clearly nokia is targeting a wider audience with the N9, which are expecting a phone from nokia. maybe the mobile computer with the phone as application is not mainstream ready yet and honestly this sucks, i would have liked a new mobile computer.

Even the swiping function exists on the N900... Its just not implemented throughout the OS. Think of showing browsing history in Microb...

Add to that Nokia has declared WP is its priority, Meego is a side project AT BEST. You are not going to get commercial devs to buy in to this when the vendor is not supporting it 100%.

What do you think is going to happen ?

What's going to happen is quite simple. We get an amazing phone and Nokia merrily moves on with their strategy. :)

Everything else, why don't we just let it play out and see? If you need a guaranteed, safe future of your phone's ecosystem, maybe you don't want to take the risk. Get the phone if you think it does what you want from it, out of the box. Whether it does so or not, most of you will probably find easier to answer after the first in-depth reviews are out.

It's there, on one of the videos. Basically like "open in new window" action when you press and hold on a link in Microb.

Can this thread be re-named to:

By the way, does anybody know which NFC capabilities it does have? Reader/writer, peer2peer, card emulation? Any embedded SE? SWP support?

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

I am completely underwhelmed....this would have been a nice device a year ago but not at all what I am looking for.

EDIT: The more I watch the videos, the more amazed I am at how smooth everything is! Maybe the software makes up for the somewhat dated hardware......I might not be able to resist this....
