Hmm. I must admit, the first excitement over the N9 has started to pass. It will arrive in September here, but I have started to get second thoughts. It is sexy and all, but rumours say Nokia will price it at the high end. I don't have any problems affording it, but I never purchase anything for more than my perceived value of the item is.

Objectively speaking, the value of the N9 is almost nothing when compared with the N900 (MeeGo is dead for Nokia, lack of HW keyboard and lack of OSS refinement). My perceived value is much more than zero, but in no way near that of a premium Android. Not that I want an Android, but the value of a twin core 4+ inch super amoled and millions of apps is afterall something substantial that cannot be ignored.

Besides, the Sea Ray is coming only a month, max two months after the N9. It has virtually identical looks, same sexiness, presumably/hopefully a U8500 dual core, and will most certainly be priced LOWER than the N9.

So I really don't know. Maybe I will consider the N900 the last one and let Maemo die in piece. I got my N800 as well, but it is ageing fast. It was fun when it lasted.

Eflop has really and truly killed Maemo/Mego or? As I see it, it was the previous dudes who killed Maemo/MeeGo and almost killed Nokia as well. Mr Elop will save Nokia, but at the cost of MeeGo and Symbian (my favorite OS since primeval times). Strange, I like Maemo, but simply can't get worked up any enthusiasm for MeeGo,

I got my N900 and my Samsung Wave, both are cool and will last until the Sea Ray comes (and many more years). But the E6 looks damned tempting

Maemo RIP
