it is a review compared to devices on the market due to the fact of the top dollar price tag. and as it is another nokia open source experiment it had to be compared to the n900. simple really. showing what nokia have learned from the past and current market trends which is apparently nothing.

as for the target n9 audience, i have no idea who this would be other than niche users. playing with it in a shop would show up a lot of issues, including the price tag when you can have an iphone or a samsung galaxy s2 or htc for less. it IS actually widely known that it will be the only meego device so trendy kids will avoid it for android or ios, plus again they are cheaper and have more choice... not with apple though.

as it stands now, compared to other devices on the market, including the n900, the n9 is sub standard. it is most certainly not great. case closed.
if you just look at the n9 as a WIP, it could be great in time.

as for the 2 world clocks in ovi store. i tried the free one and its just that, world clocks. the clock that comes with meego with the alarms tells me the time zone, so it already does world clocks but just doesnt. that is just sloppy. n900 did it all perfectly out of the box over 2 years ago.
