Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

Hello everyone, I'm a fresh N9 owner (really fresh, phone is coming :). I choose to buy an N9 because I wanted to try something new.

The first topic I would like to discuss is about the future support for Meego . Do you really think that Nokia will be seriously supporting the N9 till 2015?

It's seems a lot of time for a dead-on-arrival device...

What do you think?

Even if they don't, the devs around here are a great bunch that have kept alive the N900 til the present day without much help from Nokia (other than hosting this site I guess.) I'm sure they'll guarantee its effectiveness at least until then.

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

No they won't, that's a bogus marketing gimmick that Nokia loves to play. They don't even want to get the front camera feature implemented when the hardware is already there. Screw Nokia, but the intelligent folks here sure would help put each and every mile this phone can hold.

I think they meant to say 20:15. ;)

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

lol , in such insecurities i wouldnt wish for an N9,my n900 plays on all turfs
i hope nokia atleast supports it till 2015 .gd luck

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

i like for being different, but this masterpiece of n9 is a lil bit overpriced for a lonely OS, its more expensive than gs2, im so confused now

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

I think you would have to define support first ...they did after all release a security update for the 900 last month only several months after the ca's were compromised lol ...In comparison to most android handset makers nokia isn't too bad considering some of those phones never recieve updates

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

I agree !

One thing that Nokia does do consistently is release security and feature updates. :)

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

Well, I wish they wouldn't release updates in big chunks.. there's tons of fixes already in place, but we won't see them until PR1.2 comes out, whenever that is.

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

I mean security update but also new OS features.
For instance adding folders to the app interface, or widgets, or anything could be an improvement or bug fixes.

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

Well they did confirm several times, at various levels of management, "including" Elop.
And it made sense, once the metlemi rumors started circulating, at the same time.

But it's a long time into the future, so things can change of course.
I think at this point they genuinely intend to hold until 2015...

When they said 2015 though, I immediately took that to mean Jan. 1st 2015.
I doubt support will go well into 2015....

Re: Nokia N9 Support 'till 2015
 

2015 or not, I really don't care. I doubt I will hold on to my N9 until 2015.

But Konttori of Nokia has confirmed there will be a PR1.2 and PR1.3 update and that is good enough for me. If you compare with Android phones most will only get 1 os update before the manufacturer says "No more update due to hardware limitation."
