if the n9 or another "fully open" phone didn't come out I would probably use my n900 till the day it died on me. I will take community support over corporate support any day.

Two sample photos taken with N9. They seem pretty nice i'd say.

Is there any way to parse that information? Otherwise, that stat might not mean anything at all.
on a sidenote, nokia n9 daily interest on gsmarena.com surpassing 80'000 hits a day.

Especially at these high resolutions. Especially if you're using a high resolution pointer like a bluetooth mouse or a resistive touchscreen stylus. :P
On a side-note, why do all the major phone OS's nowadays (including the N9 apparently) have just a huge grid-list of installed apps? I use catorise on my N900 and I could seriously never go back. Browsing all those icons is so unnecessary and time consuming.
I'm not saying they couldn't implement the same functionality for a capacitive touchscreen stylus-less device--but I am saying that they're cutting their own nose off to spite their face in this pissing contest with Apple and Android and losing sight of the highly portable advanced tablets/computing devices... seemingly intentionally, especially under Elop the Flop.

Yeah files would have been better, though at least you get search.
I have wondered this myself before. Both IOS and Android are proud of the system search and talk about it likes it's a big thing, but on my GS, iphone 4 and ipad 2 i have never used or probably will use it. Do some people actually use that search to get to certain app or bookmark?

Here we go again....

(I still prefer slider to unlock... I see double-tapping a screen to unlock as a mistake.) Oh well.
Well, the saga of the N9 keeps getting more and more interesting. I'm a bit slow I guess, but was starting to warm up to the idea of getting one. It does look like it was thoughtfully designed although you can't please everyone. Slightly old HW but with age perhaps less buggy. No HWKB but maybe with BT or some other approach it could be something like a dockable unit in a wallet. Open up the wallet and you find a keyboard inside so you can happily type away, then take out the N9 from the wallet and it's like a phone/tablet. That works for me. There is some interest in easy Debian which would dramatically enhance its utility for me although I do not know if any of the Debian programs are compiled for this chipset. But that would come if there is interest. The N9 is still green and offers many challenges and opportunities for developers so I can see how they could be excited about it (plus the option to get the HWKB version for developers which makes me envious as I am not a developer even though I help design codes that run on supercomputers, Oh the irony of it all. To have such computing power yet be forsaken by ones true love! Just kidding. A little levity to ease the pain... ) Then there is the issue of future support from NOKIA which is rightfully in question. Well, alot can happen between now and September when the device, as I understand, is to be released to the public. Perhaps that is the good news as we can see how things shake out before making a purchase. Hopefully there will not be a lot more bad news...

Yes, a lot of people will, and how can you say a handset that isn't even on the market yet is unsupported? At the least it will have better support than the N900, considering it's wider target audience.
Support is only useful for the short term anyway, people upgrade at the least every 24 months (two years). I think we'll probably get at least a whole year of "support" for the N9, if not more as they are unlikely to release another MeeGo product until Windows Phone is stabalised in the market.
Nice consumer, good consumer. Roll over. BEG! Good boy

The only universal search function I've ever gotten a lot of mileage out of is Palm's, and that's because of the built-in-keyboard and scope of the search. None of the other OS's can match it as yet.

the clunkyness is incredible. Safe to say there has been development during the last 4 years
