We should not trash it because it doesn't have Qt or MeeGo.
It looks capable, fast, good battery life and decent smartphonish things. I hope 3G+Dual SIM+WiFi version is coming soon.
I think we can see real Asha 311 successor soon
Main thing I did't like is screen. They could have upped resolution and increased screen size. That HUGE bezel at bottom is only blemish in otherwise very good phone.
Again please remember it's price.
My idea to make cheap 'fresh' asha phone it would be to use all N9s from the 2nd hand market and refurbish it and sell as new asha 9xx series ;-)
Technology behind n9 is quite old so production at this thime should be optimised to a near perfection level. So why they cannot create another n9 with new name? GeForce has been doing this **** for years. When the production costs were to high just pack a little worse components like battery, memory chips etc.
And 3g... Please it's 2013. Why not using the chips that where used in old nokias devices. I bet they have a lot stocks of spare parts of real old nokias :-)
