that could be a good sell argument. even E7 has it
I guess there was some stupid people behind this I am sure they could include it and even that it is on the board but not included in the endline cause then it would be better than upcoming WPsuckphone
Abbra's confirmed that MHL's not implemented.
But I still hope that one day MHL will be do-able through a license + fw update, that enables it in the necessary hardware, which is already there.
Wishful thinking but one can dream.... sigh

That's it?
Has a keyboard so you think the X7's better than the N9?
I'm not sure how "overall" you see the X7 as "better"
What about the OS & other aspect of the hardware?

-Doesn't look handier then maemo
Not sure what you mean, Harmattan's still very much Maemo...
Plus there's plans afoot to tweak all of the big UI changes from maemo5, so we can switch back to older(better) paradigms if we want.
But overall the UI changes are vastly better (at least for a handset) IMO.

Yeah if they price it similarly to iP5 (even iP4) they're sunk.
Only Apple can get away with "priceyness" & have people believe it's a bargain.
But they will price it stupidly, because they don't "really" want it to be successful.
I'll still buy it so long as it's not "super crazy" pricing, & so long as it's local by 30/09.
Any later and I'm done with Nokia...

Or they could stop ignoring Myriad, who've been trying to convince Nokia to license Alien Dalvik & integrate it.

Many Android users who've invested much time/$ into the android ecosystem...
Could be coerced into giving N9/Meego a go, if Nokia plugged Alien Dalvik really hard.
Have you guys read how well that thing works? It's bloody impressive...

But I'm convinced senior management don't want the N9 to be "too" successful, so they won't open that flood gate.
I also don't buy the argument that it'd mortally wound QT/apps if they did that...
