Hey guys, sorry for being a bit negative ...

From a technical perspective I understand it's cool to be able to have a custom boot video. As a programmer I really understand this.
But from the designer perspective I have to ask: What's wrong with the stock N9 Harmattan boot video? It's simple, unobtrusive and fits the overall Harmattan "design language".

@Schturman's boot video: This boot video has annoying music, to much moving objects, the serif font doesn't fit the Harmattan design at all, the colors of the MeeGo "logo" (as well as the font) don't fit the official MeeGo logo. To sum it up: It looks unprofessional.

@topet2k12001's boot video: Again, annoying music. The background is WHITE. This is so wrong for a boot video, especially for the N9 with it's AMOLED display where the black is just great so you most often can't see where the screen begins or ends. This is something a boot video has to utilize. Plus: These MeeGo mascots are just childish. The N9 is a cool and serious (business) device. And let's not forget that the N9 actually is running Harmattan with MeeGo API compatibilty. So these mascots don't fit all the more.

@danested's boot video: This one is also childish and unprofessional. To much colors, to much motion.

Again, sorry for the critique. But I don't think one has to do all sort of fancy things just because it's technically possible. The Nokia designers did a great job both in terms of hardware as well as software design. One doesn't have to disimprove this.
