NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

YES !
N900 is a BRILLIANT phone and most of all i love its OS
MAEMO 5 ! it's just what we need !
but the phone it self lacks a good battery (3000mAh would be just GR8) , double ram , and double CPU speed
and make USB OTG working ! thats all , you built the perfect phone !

- i am ok with -no multitouch- (really its ok for me and for most of you n900 users right ?)

- am just fine with the lack of 100000000s of apps android and iphone have (i prefer having 100 needed apps like on n900 rather than 1000sands of useless apps like ones on iphone and android)

am in love with easy debian - the IM and sms system , the contacts , the calendar thats syn with google calendar via erminig app , the ability to use things like aircrack , the brilliant desktop , the ability to handle tough tasks ... really NOKIA u did and ABANDONED the BEST PHONE ON THE PLANET !

and i am still waiting for some phone that has a better battery , a better cpu just to port maemo on it , even if it was samsung or anything i just want MAEMO with all those features !

now who would like an N900 with 2GB ram and 1500ghz CPU ? (without overclock) ?

i am sure 99% of you will say YES !

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

I would like to have one. Can you send one to me?

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Haha yes sure once NOKIA build one ! N900i :p
i hope they will make some device that we can install maemo5 on !

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

...is that a bitslice CPU?

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Imagine a N950 with NFC, usb 4.0, super amoled screen, 720p resolution, FM TX RX, IR Transmiter, HDMI, dual core processor, 2 GB ram, USB OTG.. MAEMO 5!

Everyone would love it..

I agree with teamer, it's better to have few useful apps than a lot useless..

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

the idea is to have MAEMO5 ! that would be Gr8 !

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

and i forgot the most important ... a KEYBOARD , those on-screen ones just burns ur nerves !

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

i would be satisfied if my n900 had just 512mb ram, a little bit better gpu(for instance mali 400 "dual core" with open source drivers) and maybe hw acc flash 11, dont need anything better than that to run maemo for the next 2-3 years...

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

a good battery is required for that ram and cpu ... i would like to use maemo for lets say ... till another thing like maemo comes up

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

for the things i listed n900's battery is good enough, 1500mAh-1800mAh would be great but is not all that important, i always have my 4600mAh 130g external battery with me anyway...

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

:eek::eek: 1500ghz :eek::eek:2GB RAM:eek::eek: how you imagine that ??? even its 1.5ghz and 1GB RAM is also a Dream with NOKIA tag.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

DREAM DREAM DREAM

maemo has died

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

It is hard to kill open source projects that has a user base

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Well ,,, maemo has ben abandoned by Nokia , but it's users are still active and not even willing to move to other platforms !

Maemo is freedom

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Not really. You can just stop making the phones. Who will be using Maemo5 in five years time? Most N900s will be landfill by then. Rules that apply to desktop projects don't really apply here.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

I don't know if Nokia has something on the code that will stop others from making phones that can run the software. If they do then I think that Tizen will get a lot of angry customers from Nokia, these customers are very devoted and Samsung and IBM is getting a fast start.
QT is going to support Tizen and I think it just is a recompile and all apps får Maemo will work

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

I honestly can't believe how people think Tizen will move anywhere. There's even less of talk about Tizen than there was for Maemo 5.

That platform is dead before it was ever even born.


RAM yes, but you could get the battery life for that by just having newer SoC. N9 uses OMAP3630 with 1450mah battery, compared to 1320mah on N900 and N9 gets clearly better battery life.

That's even with the larger screen that is the component on these devices that will always take most of the battery.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Don't you think that all apps done for Maemo will be recompiled for Tizen and released there too?
I think that there is a huge demand for one open system based on C++ apps.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

LOL@Tizen.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

For those who miss so much a maemo system up to date must probe N9 having flash with open kernel without aegis, you can do everything that you want in terminal just the same way that you do in N900, the only problem is that N9 still lacks of applications, and there isn't a organizate system of repository like in maemo, but appart for that you have a true linux debian distro you can do what you want with it, and is surprising how fast and fluid everything goes even under heavy multitasking and the battery lasts more than twice the battery of N900.

So we have already a maemo=debian system up to date who is fast and battery last long, so what is the problem??

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Wouldn't want another Maemo5 device. It'll be dated, unsupported and ultimately as closed in regards to what Nokia deems proprietary as before.

And nobody supported it outside of Nokia anyway.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Why resistive?
Why are you choosing 5:4 resolution when it should be 16:9 (1280x720)?
Why mini-HDMI when the way forward is clearly DLNA /Airplay?
Triband LTE? Do you want 4 hours of battery life?
FM transmitter? FM is going to die in 2015 (UK) 2017 (Norway and Germany)

No one will make another Maemo5 device. You can accept that fact and contribute to opening the Maemo6 device, which has *some* of the things you want. And has a brand new battery just off the factory line still with full designed capacity and an unbroken (for now) micro-USB port.

The N900 community has given that amazing device the care Nokia couldn't spare for it. But you're not getting a like-for-like replacement. "Mobile" split completely between tablets and phones.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

There is. It's called apps.formeego.org and is brought to you by the same people as the Maemo Extras repositories.
It's a Debian package repository. The big difference is that the Maemo autobuilder was replaced with OBS and the package promotion rules got improved.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Rather than looking back at the N900 and asking if Nokia can build a new improved version, which ain't gonna happen, should the community not be trying to port Meego/Nemo to a selection of Android devices. Presumably that is a lot easier to say than do though!

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Good point!

*booting Nemo on the WeTab*

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

Agreed. Maemo5 on the Galaxy S2 would certainly make me wet my pants.

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

and N9 battery is unreplaceable, ah nokia always give a sh*t to their best product, =='

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

this would be N900-2

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

lack of physical keyboard...

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

I tried N9 and N950 , both are nothing compared to N900 (only a better hardware !)

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

It does not really matter ... you can use external battery with the different capacities to fulfil your needs ...

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

With full respect for your comment, I would not change my N9 to N900 ... :)

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

LOL

10chars

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

ten chars!

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

YEs, YES, Yes! i want one too

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

not really matter?? are you kidding me??, who will guaranteee ur internal battery will last forever??:D

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

good joke :D I am not missing my N900 at all after I got N950. Haven't even opened the kb for months now...

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

That'll do - NOKIA can we have N950s please?

Bet there is still a couple warehouses full of the things...

Re: NOKIA we need a new MAEMO5 device
 

coming from someone praising the WP this is worthless :p
this may be ad hominem but you showed your OS preference here so anything you say about maemo can not be considered seriously :p
