why not support the vendors that gives you what you need?

I guess you like N9/Nokia after all why else would you be here. Great phone, great OS, Buy it in a month or two.
I think most of us just love to vent our frustration at nokia's woes, wouldn't you agree? most of probably share the same concern over nokia and its future and hoping someone from inside nokia would be noting these and passing our messages on about how serious we are over this maemo/meego battle.

I don't understand all that. But I see what you saying. And I have no problems with that. the n900 was so different from all my other phones so i like it very much. and I guess the n9 will be the same, plus it might trigger some change in andorid and IOS too. It's so great with new OSes on the market. Why do not support that?

Why not create a thread for that?

Nokias path is set. So even if I would like to see meego as the main OS for smartphones. I won't
however, I get two new OS on the market Win7(new with nokia behind it) which I have only tried for a day. Many issues reamins before it can compete with android as the mainstream OS. But again, it's a new OS and IOS and andorid have to be ready to improve and thye will always look at new OSes, evaluate and steel parts and Improve all OSes.

That is the main reason that you should get behind N9. You know the path nokia choose. Stop *****ing about it or move to "The End of Nokia" thread...

Do you mean, why did Nokia loan me an n950? If so, I'm on the hook for porting the open source Sudoku clone Tomiku.



Yeah, kinda lame, but this QML stuff is so cool that Python might just start taking on a background role. See thp's port of gPodder for a great example.



Have you not seen Nokia's out-of-the-box Facebook client? Well, let me give you a peek:

Attachment 21794



Yes, this tradition has continued with Harmattan. All the usual import/export abilities are here (net, file, bluetooth, email, sms).



Nothing native yet, but I'm guessing this is one of the omissions that will be there at launch. Not sure though. On a side note, someone has already ported Midnight Commander.
This is why I come onto TMO. You alone are keeping this thread interesting (no offence to the N9 competition folks :P).

One small thing that I'm sure other OSes will have very soon is double tap to open phone. It's great.

2) If they are successful with WP7 i sure like to see them go full into MeeGo development and not to forget the wishes of exsisting customers because without that there stakeholders lose out and so do we.
1) I agree that symbian should have been dropped earlier. I would like to have had another OS on my N8 - but there where no alternative. Nokia will not go to Android and which other OS should have been implemented? We may like the Maemo, but it is not mainstream enough and WP7 wasn't ready - Windows 6.5 well have anyone tried it? I had an HTC with it as business phone and honestly my N95 was used 99% of the time...

Maybe Nokia didn't put more focus on Meego because they could see where symbian was heading - symbian Anna and Belle will actually be ok - still not fancy but much more smooth and with better browser = more competitive and maybe even an alternative to iOS and Android.
However the development of Anna and Belle took forever which made N8, C7 ect a mid-end product - at best.

2) the stakeholders opinion with Nokia depends on WP7 devices - Meego doesn't matter (unfortunately)

Nokia has chosen closed-source components for 6 times in a row?
It is very difficult to believe that nokia is making 6 devices with closed sourced drivers accidentally. The closed-source drivers were the issue even with 770 which was the first device.
You know how they say: once is accident, twice is coincidence, ...



If you are referring to the exploding batteries, let me remind you that the same technology is used in many laptops, and you still don't get closed source driver for battery charging.

I don't like being negative, but after 770, I've bought N810 with firm intention to be a common user.

At the moment I am in a waiting state when it comes to acquiring a new device. There are some android devices, there is the n9, there are even some linux based devices.

So no FUD here and no trolling on my behalf.
lol lets start conspiracy teori. Nokia select cllosed just for fun and to hurt OSS. cmon show me any company who has fully open source drivers. again this is how bussinedsss works not even anderoid has full open.

Nah... only if I'd buy the magenta one... She loves that color on the N9, but I'll go for cyan. Black is a little bit too boring for me, that's the reason why my N8 is blue.

But maybe I will just buy both colors, one for me and one for her, then I'll have my peace
