Sorry if I upset you, this was not really a blame someone thread but there is frustration in me for some of the things Nokia did or didnt do, and if you fail to see it then you dont realize that Nokia did make mistakes and now they are getting bought out.

Anyways I liked your reply the most and made more sense to reply to. First the reason I posted this topic is because I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings with other MeeGo fans.

Secondly my argument was that The N9 was not as cool like the N900 which if you aren't aware of was supposed to be a successor to the N900 as stated by Nokia (Now do your own research). Also the N9 does not have half the practical app library the N900 had or even other competing OSs. I really dont want 4 or 5 comic book readers by the way there is like only 1 that runs CBZ and CBR both. Other devices have one and thats enough. There are emulators on other Oss as well if you didnt know, EmuMaster isn't the first emulator for a phone. I am not into podcasting but I am surprised you are (because you feel that other people's opinion should not really be shared when you didnt wait a second before you let yours known...very objecctive) but I am sure other devices have podcasting abilities as well. So you told me the name of apps you thought were cool but again they are not exclusive to the N9. I told you names of mainstream apps but really I couldn't care less for apps like whatssapp, four square, instagram etc. But now let me tell you apps I do care about and should be very basic in today's smart phone technology:

1. Blue Maemo very useful tool developed by valerio for the N900 even he said it was impossible on the N9 because of Aegis.
2. Grooveshark....I am sorry but I don't live in the US and thus do not have privilege of spotify. I need grooveshark and guess what even a dumb phone like the iphone has one.
3. Shazam a very basic software but completely useful for people of all interests. Everyone likes music.
4. Temple run and other popular games..... yeah I know I shouldn't care about what my friends play but I want to play a game where I can compete with my friends. I have been tapping away on Dalton which is an excellent game and show my score to other people but they dont have the game so they dont get it.
5. Skype video call.
6. H.264 playback....seriously I want the convenience of of putting almost any type of media files or atleast the popular ones into my phone memory and play it back with no glitches.
7. A VNC client to access my computer.

Now tell me these apps arent practical? You know what android devices have all these apps and functions. What else do you want me to say I am a Maemo fanboy and it hurts me to say this but it is true. I am sorry but the list of features I gave for the N9 in my original post is better than the list of generic apps you mentioned except for podcasting I have no idea about. The smart phone is capable of so much more than this.

I did my research....I did my research of empty promises made by Nokia. I have researched this phone since there were rumours on the grapevine. I was such a happy N900 customer I blindly bought the phone. Who better to give you insight on a device than a person who has used it extensively. For people it is enlightening to can take back something from this, for people who just love the phone with whatever it has and don't need more then can say they are happy with it.

I care to show off my phone is because it is important to keep this platform alive. When my friends had an Iphone and I had an N900 they would run up to me and say hey look this is google maps...and I would say look this is skype video call, look this is me streaming videos of all websites, look this is me downloading and sharing files using bluetooth and any file format. Linux is capable of so much...and they were impressed considered getting one but didnt cause it lacked capacitive multi touch screen. So I thought wait till the N9 comes they will get it...but wait now they had skype video calls and I didnt, they had all media capability and I didnt, and like usual they came upto me and said look temple run and I had nothing to say back. I am sorry but if I cant impress my friends then they wont want linux phones, and that is why Nokia never gave a damn about it, because people arent aware of its cool capabilities, it is a dying breed.

And if I have offended you by pointing fingers at Nokia...well I am sorry but it is true, Nokia is going to be bought out, they ruined a perfectly good device i waited so long for...and thus I vent.

And for people telling me it is my mistake to move away, well then give me reasons you think why I shouldn't go to a competitor. I have given you 5 reasons for my debate.
