I just joined as I ordered my WHITE N9! Arrives on Tuesday, cant wait!!!

As far as the debate goes regarding the N9 as the flagship I'm with Lumiaman. The N9 seems technically superior but for the masses WP7 is the clear choice. If nothing more than the simple reason why the iphone is good for the masses.... its simple, idiot proof use and things just "work". This is just speaking in the general sense without going into details.

I also had a strong dislike for Elop and when he was standing a few steps away from me when he visited South Africa I had a strong urge to give him a piece of my mind regarding the whole N9/Meego debacle. But... after doing some reading up I can respect his decision to go WP.

It was decision made purely on the premise to save the company. The timelines for the rollout of Meego devices was not quick enough to turn the company around. I suggest that anybody who feels that going the WP route was wrong do some reading up before they pass judgement. I don't like it, but I can respect it. I'm sure there was a substantial exchange of cash from MS but that's just well played business from Elop.

That said, if anyone is looking for a white N9 email Jari Hepolammi from Viestimaa. His customer service is nothing short of amazing. Cant praise him enough, brilliant individual.
