Re: N950 with MeeGo this year, but who trusts Nokia anymore?
 

Just an FYI: I was able to check out an n900 in person at Fry's Electronics.

I'm halfway across the US from the closest Fry's - they have very little, if any presence in the Southeast US.

Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop said on Friday that a MeeGo product would be launched this year. Now TechCrunch Europe's source has claimed the product is code-named the N9-01, and that it's a touchscreen device without a physical keyboard, but with a user interface designed by "a three person external team rather than any of Nokia's hundreds of internal designers".

The source suggested the device could be announced at Nokia's Mobile World Congress press conference tonight. But, if the device is indeed the N9-01, what happened to the N9-00, which was expected to be the first MeeGo device to go on sale? TechCrunch's source confirmed earlier reports that the handset has been canned, suggesting operators rejected the N9-00 because of a "flimsy" keyboard mechanism.

Well Nokias says meego based HW is for "developers/geeks only" soo if we dont trust them now? What isnt we cannot trust in this?

That Meego HW will not be released? Unlikely cause they must release something?

Or maybe they change again and says Meego will be our nextgen handset OS and WP7 is abandoned hahaha heck that would be wasome but unlikely.

but there is one thing anyway who would trust a company? Say ANY company we could trust?

If they are going to release the driver packages for all the component inside their MeeGo device and N900 then I might take the bait and buying it. Otherwise why would we buy an opensource device and in a long run cannot modify or update or make use of the device hardware?

Re: N950 with MeeGo this year, but who trusts Nokia anymore?
 

Unlikey that everything is open non hw vendor is fully open source example:

* TI GFX driver is not fully open not nokias fault
* Nvidia (on desktoplinux) not fully open
* broadcom wifi drivers(some is some not)
* optimized camera driver probadly not open cause then other manufactors copy/paste triccks used in thiis algoritms. personally I better see this closed IF the algoritgs taking better pics than competitors. most android cameras sucks maybe cause they not optimized remember optimizing algoritms takes manpower means lots of investments sometimes why they cantm be fully open.
* battery power saving algoritms is also a big issue that take alot of manpower is my guess.

software:

adobe flash

Who cares. Meego has been relegated to in-car entertainment systems and refrigerators.

Re: N950 with MeeGo this year, but who trusts Nokia anymore?
 

Err, no. They're still pursuing handsets.

Re: N950 with MeeGo this year, but who trusts Nokia anymore?
 

For the fun of it:

Nokia released Maemo5 and promised a lot (4 out of 5)

Then they abandoned it and started wokring on MeeGo, promising even more.

Now they have abandoned that too and they are switching to windows promising again a lot.

1) Do you see the pattern ? :D
2) Perhaps the MeeGo/Harmattan/N950 comes out and noone promises anything at all and it becomes a success.

And there is some reasoning behind that: Nokia won't allow a product to mature. They constantly try to change it. Perhaps a product that is not their flagship will find the time to mature. Just like Maemo < 5 did.
