Yes, you are.. cause such devices already exists and have been made by other brands... so why bother? That device does not make me want it.. the only great thing about it is the 1024 ram which was the only real flaw of the N900.

edit: But then.. i just want a portable linux device that can take calls...

MeeGo for masses, it seems.

...maybe you're right and i am wrong... but again, such meego (or even maemo) devices did not exist (until now) and it might appeal to a segment that is neither android nor apple oriented... it's a new contender in the mass-market... i'd say give it a chance and a fair amount of time...

Mhm... so, after reading the websites and watching the videos: What's the disruptive thing about it?

It's a very simple phone. It cannot do many of the things my current Symbian or N900 can do. There's nothing new to it. At least nothing we know of, and I somewhat doubt the big bang is yet to be announced.

People kept hinting that there'll be something special about the screen that will make me "not miss the hardware keyboard"... doesn't look like it.

So - yes, it's a GNU/Linux based phone (thank god!), but I fail to see the huge leap forward I had expected after reading posts from those in the know. Those who had access to the prototypes. In fact, with all the things missing....

I'll buy it, anyway. If ever it becomes available.

I fail to see anything GNU/Linux about this phone.

Just for clarification: the whole thing about future disruptions is about what comes after the N9, not the N9 itself. The N9 is very much about world's firsts: all-screen phone, webkit2 browser, 8 MPIX camera with 16:9 wide angle lens, Dolby Headset support...

despite all the criticisms, i actually hope the N9 will help Nokia make enough money to convince them to pour more resources into Meego and a TRUE N900 successor. let's hope for the best. from this perspective, i understand why the N9 looks more like an iPhone than the N900.

Those "leakers" are a fking joke lol.

Did all they could to hint at something "special", but nothing is "special".

And they did it knowing that most ppl here will be disappointed...

... they are worse then abill_uk hah
