Let's be honest, a Linux Desktop Experience in our pocket just isn't consumer friendly. Whereas the N9 could be consumer friendly, the missing bits are too blatant to ignore.

Trust me... I get what you're saying. But to say that it didn't disappoint some former fans is overlooking why people are spewing forth the same stuff ad nauseum. Just like folks are spewing the same ol' "I love my N900" stuff.

Equilibrium. Sometimes it's needed.
Yeah, its portable computer - who says its a "desktop in your pocket" ?

Why do you conflate the two terms - computing with desktop ?

Maybe its just years of using a desktop that is the reason we cant think in a new way and use the old blinders to see new paradigms ?
Again I dont know - but that not how I see it.

And Gerbick, I also agree with some of the dissapointments that you and Dan (and myself) share. -but lets look forward, the old dissapointments arent gong to right itself in this changing ecosystem of a mobile world.

What we have to consider is is the new path that Nokia is trying with Meego/Harmattan a sustainable path - a new path indeed - a intuitive and productive path for us ?
Thats the real question.
Not whay did Nokia abandon the N800 path ?
