Would love to see this CBD(clear black display) in N9 as well.

(E7 in left with CBD and n8 with AMOLED screen in right)
Problem might be if it's not availabe for ~854x480 resolution. Same as S AMOLED isn't(pentile screens).

because the GPU used in the TI Omap3 SoC's is the SGX530, which is already less powerful than the current Samsung/Apple SoC's which currently sport the SGX535.

given that the MeeGo app/games market is likely to start very small, it will receive cheap ports at best which means it needs a performance advantage.

The new hummingbird chip uses the SGX540 gpu, and will be turning up in phones very soon.

This is why Nokia need Omap4, not just for the dual-core A9 CPU, but because it too incorporates the SGX 540 GPU.

Hummingbird with SGX540 is already inside my Galaxy S and in Wave also.

sorry, what's "pentile"?

i like 16:9, so i hope Nokia moves to 960x540, i.e. one quarter of full HD.

Nokia swapped out its CEO for a Microsoft guy last week. I wonder if that had anything to do with the delays. Maybe the N9 will switch from Meego to WinCE.

I shouldn't even comment on these anymore and i can't be bothered to write all what Ollila and others have said already, but we wont be seeing wp7 inside Nokia phones.
I wont say ever but for the next 3 years, no.

It's funny that this guy have been working for Microsoft only for 2 years and hold many other positions as well but suddenly he is Steve Ballmer himself. It also tells me that people have no idea as how many agreements with example chip makers and work for services and software Nokia would need to do to make wp7 a platform for Nokia.
Something that Nokia has been working for years for Symbian, Harmattan and work done for qt altready.

Mike, Eldar Murtazin started rumour about N9 coming out in q1 rather than q4 this year. I wouldn't be too worried yet as he said the same about N900.
