maemo.org - Talk - The EPIC N9 anticipation thread

after what happened on the n900 and Meego as a deadend system to Nokia - I find it incredible you can say that HERE of all places with a straight face...

or are you laughing your head off in real life when you are typing this ?

this is a dev/geek/DIY device no doubt about it - if there is ANY support it will be from community - we know how reliable "fixed in hartleman" Nokia support is.... right ? not to mention even now Nokia hasnt released the closed blobs for the n900...

for the regular consumer... either you are incredibly ignorant about competitor products or you are having a laugh at our expense ....

but hey - SOMEONE is gotta do the "pump" before the dump happens right ?

Are you kidding me?
I tell you that there will be updates for this device every six month as long as MeeGo exists and you call MeeGo a deadend OS for Nokia?
Are we here in a regular consumer forum? Last time I checked it was still a dev/early adopter/geek forum.

edit: just to be clear: MeeGo is part of "future disruptions". Future disruptions means for Nokia developing potentially ground breaking, world changing devices and test them in real world environments in a smaller scale.

-keeps external battery upgrade possibility (Mugen or homebrew)

-keeps resistive screen
-keeps Maemo 5
-adds integrated geiger-counter
-adds a cigarette lighter and a compass
-makes it shock and water-resistant
-adds a megaphone function

Improves the general HW specs a little so that Maemo 5 finally flies.

I am willing to pay 1500 USD or todays equivalent in silver coins

Obviously after running at 900MHz going back to 600 really makes a difference, especially with opening apps.

Oh i'd also like the N9/50 to have an app manager that doesn't absolutely suck

You know thats suprisingly true! I would expect the N900 to be stupidlly slow now that its 18months old - but no.

Its very quick!

Difficult to tell what OS it's running but my gut says not Symbian. Let's see what a tease though.

I hope that is not the battery for the final product, 1200 Mah is not enaugh by a long shot for any 600+ Mhz phone. The thinness can limit the battery size, but other dimentions matter more. Look at the Atrix or SGSll. In fact, the wider/longer body mainly because of the bigger screen gives you more opportunity to fit in a bigger battery.

And it is def not running Symbian! My guess, Harmattan with S-Anna icons (updatable to MeeGo 1.2 when ready)

Update every 6 months? Source?
I thought in approx. a year meego support will stop.

or announcing in a couple of months WP7 is the way forward and there will be no further investment in meego?

Given the lack of support for the N900 by Nokia it seems most sensible people's money would be better spent on the SGSII or HTC Sensation. Even the LG meego os phone maybe a better option[/QUOTE]

I agree but I might still get the N9 just because of the aluminium-unibody-tilt-qwerty (my favourite form factor).

If there is an Android device with that form-factor, I'd probably (barely) choose the Android based one, since MeeGo still has a long way to go, and has no 3rd party support.
