Pretty cool. Thanks for taking us lefties into consideration! Makes me think of the ergonomic keyboard that splits the keys for the left and right hand. I do wonder how easy hitting the keys on the far left and right will be on the n9. It's pretty thin so I'm not sure how gripping will work out. One thing nice about the N900 is that you could put your pointer fingers behind the slider for support and that sort of naturally put your thumb in a good postion to easily type. Actually, I would love to see something like what you've done on a device with similar dimensions to a PSP (which also has a nice size screen a little bigger than the n9). It would be great to put the VKB where the game buttons are, to the left and right of the screen. Of course if you want to play a game you could then have your virtual buttons appear in place of the letters...

I think he's just put a conservative estimate for release on things, just for the purpose of that interview b/c hes not allowed to say when yet.

I really hope that by holiday season, they meant some time closer than christmas. Seriously, Nokia has almost fixed their announce
early release late problem with Symbian phones (C7, C6 and E7). I hope they do the same this time.

C7 & C6-01 both started shipping about a month after they were announced. E7 seemed to take forever.

That is incorrect, to me in German it reads as if the device will be out on the market "nicely way before Christmas", which is also the only indication he can give since they are still fine tuning stuff. He said it in a way that just indicates they expect it to fully profit from holiday sales, not that in will not be out until December. Any other German speaking people that want to weigh in on this?

"Das einzige, was ich jetzt schon verraten kann, ist, dass es sich schön für das Weihnachtsgeschäft ausgehen wird."

--> The only thing I can say right now is, that it will be quite well for the christmas sale. (However I don't know if this is an accurate translation from the Austrian German)

"Beim N9 ist es schon so, vor allem in Österreich, dass wir es als unser Hero-Device für das Weihnachtsgeschäft sehen und dementsprechend auch schon alle Netzbetreiber dahinter haben."

--> The N9 we see indeed, especially in Austria, as our hero-device for the christmas sale, therefore we have all operators behind us (it).

"Weihnachtgeschäft" is the sale session starting by late November, in Germany at least, where people start buying their christmas gifts... (and retailers have huge revenues, of course, more than by any other time of the year.)

He says "sich schön .. ausgehen wird", which I think is an expression only austrians use. I would translate it with: "The only thing I can say is that it will easily do it for the christmas business". Could mean anything, but I guess not later than november.

Haven't really been lurking here since my N900 craze faded, but now N9 seems to renew that excitement and must-get feeling! (Although granted I'd much rather get N950)

I had some concerns, mainly Adobe Digital Editions and Kindle support, since I read a lot on the phone, but I hope those would work through Dalvik? Other than that I'm not overly worried about lack of apps and since I do Qt for living anyway I'm itching to make a little something myself if the need arise and somehow find the time.

Now release that baby already!

Always seems to me that no matter how great a phone Nokia release it seems like the same old "Would have been brilliant IF they released it last year"
if this is true its because of the WPsuck strategy. There are engineers who already has said "its ready" and just bugfixes now. Just take a look on all videos its seems ready to me!

I really hope it will be released end of september. atleast in my country
