It's almost as though Nokia is trying to kill the N9, rather then promote it. Weird, to say the least...
I'm wondering, do any of you think it will be possible to buy second-hand N950s off ebay? Maybe that'll be the only way someone will be able to put their hands on the thing...

Mr. Green left Nokia.
If the rumours are correct, his departure said quite a bit about Linux/Meego's future at Nokia.

To be honest, they had to say that more than likely to avoid a serious skid of the stocks again.

Just reminding folks about this thread. Seemed relevant to the "Why do people say MeeGo is dead?" thread. heheh

Will just have to wait and see.
I've tried to check the replacement for my n810 (with a broken touch sense at the moment). Most likely I will order replacement screen and wait to see what happens with future device. Buying N9 based on the former glory would not be a smart choice. If they decide to offer it for up to 400e I will consider it. Seriously everything above that for a smart phone or a tablet is way too much (yeah, I know that there are some there who would sell their kidney for one).
The way I see it, n810 screen size is a bare minimum for that sort of device to be functional, and battery life of heavily used smart phone is modest. I prefer to see a phone as simple dump IP carrier. Physical keyboard is defiantly cool thing, but from the user perspective, that causes device to be fragile. The lifetime of such device should be 3-5 years, so having open hardware that can run Linux is a priority for me.
HP TouchPad (it will be available in Europe soon) and WebOS 3.0 may be interesting enough.
