I really had high hopes for the N9 and its an amazing device that will no doubt penetrate the mass market but its not what i am looking for.
Most forum members here will understand what i am saying.
I want a device with that will offer a desktop linux experience - hildon is a perfect example of that with a hardware keyboard and all the nerd kingdom goodies out there.
I want a device that will replace the need for a tablet and a dumphone combo.
In the end, it seems that i want what most people on this forum want, a stronger N900.
Is anyone going to make that for me?

You can only hope that N9 sells well, and NOKIA will make you what you want as they have done with N900.
What worries me is the support it will be given, don't get me wrong the community has done more for the N900 than I thought was possible
but that is only because I came on here and geeked it up, the average N9 user isn't going to do that, so it needs good support from the source and from third parties.If that doesn't happen it will surely fail along with our dreams of an all-singing-all-dancing MeeGo based N900 successor....
That beginning said the N900 pretty much covers all my needs at the moment, but better HW tech would be nice

please show a link with official STATEMENT from NOKIA this is the case else you are a troll.
www.nokia.com/n9
Also somewhere on a conversations blog with the N9's UX a Nokian was replying saying that they werent planning general availability in the main markets mentioned.

Tbh I reckon alot of people wont even know the N9's exists until it has its own advert

Yes i have and you should reread my post, aside from the UI the N9 lacks major hardware components from the nerd kingdom to suit my needs.
As much as a prefer FOSS i am not a fanboy and i will not spend money on a device just for the sake of it.

Have you bothered to read about this at meego.com and developer.nokia.com?

Meaning that it would have a much longer life cycle in terms of usability with the extra core or even just for the sake of better power consumption as the new Mali GPU and the OMAP4 would have much better power consumption then OMAP3 and the SGX530
