I would only buy it if Nokia allowing the equal value trade-in of my N900.
Got my N900 for $479USD and If they want me to buy this then I'd swap. Not because I don't like N900 but I want something abit up to date.

Oh what the heck, N9 will be like a cheapy android :) I doubt it will worth more than $500USD at launch. Since all other Android (LG and SONY) dual cores are about that price. With all the rubbish hardware blast from the past, it will probably hard to take a flight.

Edit: My heart still set with SGSII

Didn't intel say as soon as Nokia said they are dropping meego the other manufacturers changed their minds about not making meego phones and started showing interest?
I think they didn't want to get involved with meego because of fear Nokia would have too much control over the OS.
If that's true then releasing this device and then dropping meego and standing back and watching where the other manufacturers are going to take meego and coming back into the game 2 years later if they have to drop microsoft or even start making dual boot phones would seem like a "keep your options open" strategy.

I'm just afraid that it'll come with that idiotic EDoF camera.

But any buy would happen ONLY if the above were true AND it significantly exceeded the N900's capabilities.

THis is incorrect. Quim has said that although the code is not entirely Meego it is also no where near Maemo. In reality it is more meego then maemo5. People need to just accept that.

Also,. Nokia plans to make it compatible with the official Meego builds so that it will get updates, etc..

I think the pentband reference is to umts.
If the n900 had 850/2100, I wouldn't be looking for a new device for another 5 years

According to the Engadget post, this is hexaband while others haven't even done pentaband yet.
