My views, for anyone that cares. The N9 is the N900 for the consumer. For some of us it doesnt feel like a progression. so lets stop pretending it does.

I wanted a pocket computer in my pocket not what the N9 represents. the lack of desktop is my biggest loss. i can see myself getting annoyed very quickly with swiping every 10 seconds to do things.

currently hitting a blank background space takes me back, and one of four desktops has all the info i need without opening any apps. as much as i dislike android, i am now considering it for this very reason.

also do not understand this minimalism thing. no hardware buttons? really? the n900 was a pain in the butt for phone calls and now we must slowly swipe the screen to bring up the mini menu and hit phone?

of course i will wait to see how much customisation is possible when its out but this whole episode has been quite disappointing. which is not nokias fault but ours. many of us stayed away from android etc because we wanted a n900 successor and this we did not get.

oh and lastly symbian anna is butt ugly. the rounded squares just remind me of apple and thats def not a good thing.
i will now buy a new n900 and see what other meego devices are released (LG?).
