MeeGo-smartphone Nokia N9: specification [08/24/2010 13:14]
.............
The another spec rumour by NokNok says N9 is
* Operating System: MeeGo^1
* Screen Resolution: 1280*720
* Screen Color Depth: 24 bit
* Screen Size: 4.0 inch
* Display Technology: AMOLED (RGB)
* Thickness: 14.2 mm
* Weight: 150 g
* Input Method: Touch Screen and Slide-out QWERTY Keyboard
* Data Bearers: WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n, HSPA+, WCDMA, EGPRS, EDGE
* CPU Type: ARM Cortex-A8
* CPU Clock Rate: 1 GHz
* Graphics Processor: SGX540
* Flash Technology: Adobe Flash 10.1
* Camera Resolution: 4000*3000 (12Mp)
* CMOS Sensor: 1/1.7 inch
* Camera Focal length: 28 mm
* Video Recording Resolution: 1280*720
* Video Recording Frame Rate: 30 fps
* Mass Storage Memory: 64 GB
* NAND Memory: 1 GB
* SDRAM Memory: 512 MB
* Maximum Memory Card Size: 32 GB
* Connectivity: Bluetooth 3.0, HDMI mini C Connector, Micro-USB(OTG), etc
* Battery: 1320 mAh
Which seems better and more likely!
except for the battery.. and what matters most at this point and as it is, I think kinda, fixed is the size of the device - 4" screen with that big space on both top and bottom is gonna make it thick and bigger than HTC HD2 and for me, as I'm a small built, HD2 is already very big for me. 14.2mm is very suitable as it does have hw keyboard but if its gonna be that big, it will make it look even bigger 
This adds one more thing to my wishlist - wish the body was just limited to the black portion of the current built.

The idea of 1280*760 on a 4" screen being unlikely needs to be compared with an October release of Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) which will have
Several planned Windows mobile 7 devices will also have a 1280*760 res.
So it will actually just be the right thing to do to keep it competitive.

New 1280×760 resolution available for the devices with displays of 4” and higher.
So it will actually just be the right thing to do to keep it competitive.

Sure you would. Not once have I run into a downside to having more RAM.
I'm pretty sure that in the deep and distant past when the discussion of memory provision on earlier devices has taken place at t.m.o. (or maybe it was itt) a Nokia Tablet engineer commented that DRAM refresh power consumption is an important consideration - remember, memory has to be continuously refreshed even when the rest of the device is completely idle. I imagine the comment (which is no doubt lost in time, sadly) would apply even more so today when talking about an increase of DRAM from 256MB to 1GB.

And 1GB of RAM likely uses barely more power than 512MB depending on how it's set up (or it can use 2x, and be completely outweighed in usage by the display and wifi/3G radios.)
But hey, it's a small issue but worth knowing that increases in DRAM don't come for free.

I would have been more interestedin this if it wasn't for the outcome of the N900. Regardless of how promising and impressive the specs are, it all comes down how much Nokia wants to support the device software once it reach the market. Well, we saw what they did to the N900, right?
Many of the most basic functions are still not functional and they just don't seem to care.
The arrogancy shown to their customers has definetly pushed me away from bying a smartphone from that company ever again.
Maybe I'd changed my mind if they'd:
Fix the crappy Ovi store
Provide us with the REAL turn by turn based Ovi Maps application that was promised.
Fix the bouncing phone buttons and placement
Fix the crappy bluetooth stack and just admit that a pile of handsfree/carkit device just don't work.
Kept supporting flash upgrades.
Implemented the second front faced camera
Found out why most applications suffers from stuttering audio when the display fades, sometimes also the built in media player.
...and a lot of other irritating details that I can't think of right now.

I agree no matter how good N9 hardware could be if OS and services fail to deliver quality that everyone expects Nokia is doomed

I also agree. Last thing I want is to hope that someone will get Android to boot on the N9 to make it more useful like we do on the N900.

Woah, those speculated numbers look VERY nice. I don't dare to even hope for such awesomeness. I've been worried about the screen size, since I'm quite happy with N800 screen size and wouldn't want to go much lower than that. The physical size isn't that much of a problem.
The resolution seems rather staggering.. I suppose it would be similar dpi as iPhone4? Just seems odd that N8 has that much crappier screen.
Well, just have to wait and see, but so far looks like the dream device!

It's not a coincidence that N900 uses 800x480 screen. People really shouldn't be worried about the screen resolution being below 800x 480 with N9.

Some hardware things which are _wrong_ or missing in N900.
I wish the 3.5 mm audio+video-connector is on the top facet (portrait), and not on the bottom facet like in N900. Almost daily I "suffer" because of this. And the little wrist/neck band hole on the top facet could be little bigger.
Digital compass and a hot swappable batteries which are missing in N900 could be in N9.
I guess noone is using DVB-H (N96), so maybe no bother, but would be cool to have it....well USB OTG with DVB-T dongle is ok.
The proto photo doesn't seem to have Nordic letters öäåÖÄÅ in the qwerty-keyboard. I hope they are not missing and they would not put UP/DOWN-arrow keys behind Alt-key like in N900.
