Re: N9: It's finally here
 
I'm so disappointed, that I'm almost crying here.

I cannot understand the CPU choice. If they cut every corner already, why no Omap4 or N8's camera?

Wheres the future disruption in Omap3?

Is it because Elop wouldn't want Mango to look quite SO rotten even compared to other Nokia phones, when they finally are able to release it?

But that's just me....

You are not alone, especially in this world of talk.maemo.org, but reality is that any sales statistics on smartphones tells you that monoblock device outsell by a huge margin any QWERTY devices. Just go into a shop a check out how many QWERTY smartphones you will find.

I forgot these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...1WPB4JYJPSJ0K3
http://www.amazon.com/Rii-Wireless-K.../dp/B003UE52ME
Those will comfort those who are crying for the keyboard. But what will comfort me?

Actually, the camera is the first 16:9 wide angle lens. You get more HD photos than with other Nokia smartphone.

And the processor... we need 60 FPS for transitions and 30 FPS for video, nothing else. The benefit with our CPU is that the battery gets you much further than any dual-core/LTE device. Not to mention that the radio performance beats essentially the whole competition out there.

So what comes after the N9? No more meego, just Windows Phone.

But I'll grant you that a usefull Windows Phone Phone would be quite a suprise :P

I'll pass for now, by the time my n900 needs to be replaced I'll buy a phone from a vendor actually supporting Meego (or some other properly open platform).

Are you going to start talking about step 4 of 5 now, or is that last year's rhetoric?

'Like nothing before and instantly easy to use' has already been done before, and done to death. And unlike the N9, the iPhone is already for sale at every store.

Well in this challenging case, I recommend holding it in your hands and trying it out. It's like nothing before yet it's instantly easy to use.

Thanks for the honest reply, and I DO understand, really.

I just don't know why Nokia couldn't just say, screw that, we aren't supporting it anyways, and the TMO customers that supported our Internet Tablets all the way to Meego (and who in the end actually provided the necessary software updates {CSSU, USB OTG, etc}) actually prefer it. So let's go out with a bang.

I just doubt that Nokia really cares about the sales of this device when it is so heavily invested in WP7 now. I am really beginning to believe that development of N9 was stalled or cut to favor release of WP7, I guess we'll see.
