Now... let's do everybody a favor. Let's don't preorder in high numbers, let's act more aloof about the Nokia N9.

I do not feel like paying a premium because Expansys thinks they can make a mint off of FOSS geeks.

Why do we presuppose that N9 will be different from the rest of the buggy NOKIA phones? to judge by N900, N9 will be born with so many congenital anomalies, that no therapy will salvage it.

Why do people predict that the Apple iPhone 5 will be different from the rest of their offerings... because it has a different back? Or perhaps a 4 inch screen?

I get it. You love what you love. Yet you're arguing with folks that love what they love. Makes absolutely zero sense.

In fact, you're doing and saying the same thing, expecting something different; yet you get the same results.

That's pretty much the classic definition of insanity...

There's so much mudslinging and backhanded comments/compliments in this thread that I think there's a hidden competition of some sort going on...

ps: image of the trophy at stake below

pps: for a bunch of trolls, you guys make great factual arguments!

Because Apple did deliver, and has shown a progressive improvements to the point where ONE phone is selling as much as ALL of the NOKIA phones combined. Are you thick or what?

After buying exclusively NOKIA phones, I have to say that I saw the light. Resting on old laurels works for old farts. I bought a number of N900s, and despite so many congenital anomalies, I think its a special device. However, it doesnt do what normal phones do. Battery sucks, GPS sucks, telephony sucks. And why are you here anyways Mr. Android who doesnt even use N900?

The original didn't really deliver. I didn't think Apple didn't really deliver until the iPhone 3GS.

Now that wasn't rather smart.

Funny you're saying that about the newest addition to Nokia's offerings - Maemo Harmattan.

I bought a number of N900s, and despite so many congenital anomalies, I think its a special device.

Bought one, used it, our office bought two more. None are left. Special, but not what I was looking for.

However, it doesnt do what normal phones do. Battery sucks, GPS sucks, telephony sucks.

So does the stock Galaxy S variants. Trim the init.d/startup items.

And why are you here anyways Mr. Android who doesnt even use N900?

Because I used to own and use a Nokia N900. Or that I've been here since I've owned a 770. Or that I was enthusiastic about the Nokia N810.

Now riddle me this... why the **** do you care? I've owned more iPhones than you. I've owned more Android devices than you. And yet... here I am. What's your next inquiry?

It seems as if you think you're entitled to an answer.

I will contest you on your ownerships bud. I have spent mightily on NOKIA, even tried N8 and E6. I bought 5 iphone 3gs that i distributed to family members and have bough 4 unlocked iphone 4s from Canada. If you want a worry free phone, ask Ysss, he owns one. iphone 4 delivers. Never owned Android and have no interest to do so.

The only reasonable person here is ericsson. He is the only one who gets it. NOKIA CAN NOT deliver complex software, period.
