well, i got my galaxy sII and its like symbian belle. just with more animations.
at least it's not like Wp7 boring and not customizable.
Meego Harmattan is indeed superior. to all OS

Already 'ticked' that there still isn't Adobe Flash support anymore for the N900, even though they displayed 10.0 at their conference.
My N900 doesn't get 3G here because the stupid monopoly phone carrier doesn't use the right frequency. N9 should be able to, I suppose.
What do you guys think? Would it be a waste of $$$? Should I wait for the next one?
If you want there to be even the slightest chance there is a next one.
And if you like the phone just on it's merits, get it.
The only thing that'll sway Elop's mind towards a 2x OS strategy.
Is if it sells strongly in the markets it's been placed.
To get a more detailed picture of the N9, read the last several pages... at least...
I reckon it'll definitely "hold it's own" against muscle Android phones like the SGSII.
Provided Nokia don't artificially inflate it's price or limit supply worldwide, or deliberately remain non-aggressive.
So long as the cheapest N9 you can find, is only about $50USD more than the cheapest SGSII you can kind.
Then one can argue it's still good value. Even up to $150 is considerable IMO, but we need to see detailed comparo's 1st.
How well exactly it compares overall, we won't know until direct comparisons can be done.
Also if sticker price differences scare you off...
Maybe you'll be one of the lucky countries that has a raft of carriers supporting it?

I think nokia will tell us more about the purpose of the N9 in the next 2 months or so. Just wait til then.

The UI and Qt is gonna survive, and so will its apps. I doubt it will remain high-end though.

N9 not out for even a month, nor had a chance to prove itself.
Before they totally bury the chances of there ever being another high-end ph like it.
They've never officially said anything that suggests they'll do that.
But a lot of their actions have pointed in that general direction.
It'll be a shame if they don't even give a 2x OS strategy a chance.
If not in the immediate term, than at least for the longer-term.
That's what I'm hoping to hear from them in the new year...
*1x MeeGo or Maemo based ph at the top-end /yr (beginning 1H 2013)
*Dozens of WP phones that span from the top-end to the mid low-end.
*S40 for the simplest feature-phones around the world
*Continue as planned for Symbian....
[maybe even phase-out more quickly, if that's going to mean better productivity for S40/Maemo]

Dude, buy it if you really do like it, and it won't be a waste. Support will be limited, but if you don't mind that go for it. Most people here are.

It's up to you to believe it. I personally will believe it when I see it.
