Ok, back to topic 
(Abill, why not create a thread: "other devices are better than n9" and state opinions there. I can even come over and argue with you.)

We go on all kinds of tangent in free form discussions, it's only natural that these things happen from time to time (*ahem*).
So why did you think that it was VERY relevant to this thread again?
WHY are you addressing posts at me for someone elses post? bit strange dont you think???.
People will thank me sooner or later for bringing the REALISM to the N9.
Mark this post in your history and you will see my point.

Here is just ONE of many many writeups available that tell you the reasons for epic failure of not only the N9 buit also Meego.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK OK.
To be frank its his interpretation of whatever has happened or is happening. And its not the only one. None of us knows for sure whats gonna happen. Its all speculation.
Tomorrow, WP may fail to sell at all, n Nokia might shift back to symbian or meego. We dont know. Hell, we dont even know if we might still hv WP/symbian/meego/android/iOS a year later or not. Who knows something revolutionary may come n wipe them off the slate completely.
But then again, thats just my interpretation of things.

Look at the spec and you will se it is BETTER than the N9 by the cpu alone.
The N9 is already old hat and people need to realise this BEFORE they waste there money buying one later to regret it because of newer technology.
I would tell everyone to look carefully and consider this before attempting to buy the N9.
Quad technology is about to take off BIG time and that alone will spell the end for the N9 because developers will shift to that spec even IF Meego was being developed and it is now being stated as a failure everywhere on the net.
Do your homework ok.
Why to buy Samsung with quadcore when it breaks down to pieces at first fall on the floor? Nokia is making phones that last years, not months, or a year. However, there are some exceptions...
If I want phone with WP7, Android, Bada, iOS or Symbian I have plenty of options to choose from. But nothing really caught my attention. Harmattan just got me. The openness of the OS right away, no jailbreaks, no flashing, just a switch in settings menu. Multitasking is just great, overall speed of the device seems good too. And I can write own applications using Qt? I'm sold.
I can't speak for everybody who wants N9, but I have my reasons even when it's only single core 1GHz, dead platform, etc. I just want that thing already!

SGSII mite be a beast but still its not that good looking n plus anything above 4" is a little big to carry as a phone for me. WP mite be good but they are too closed OS wise for me. iOS, well lets just not talk about it. And honestly, the kind of mutlitasking capabilities that the N9 shows I doubt there's another phone in the market that even comes close (not considering the N900). N to top it all it does have a really good camera.
So, there u go. thats just some of the reasons why i'll spend my hard earned money on the N9, even if it doesnt get any support. Coz as long as it works, it will still be worth the money i've spent.
PS: n i dont think i'll ever believe in the "absolutely no support" theory. There will always be some kind of support from nokia, even if its just bare minimum. coz frankly N9 is the best bet they've got for atlst the next one year.

I, for one, am not too worried about Nokia's (lack of) involvement after the N9 release. Plenty of open source projects are driven by the community; seeing the number of people arguing over here before the phone is even released, I trust its community will be strong enough to support it. As for Nokia support, I expect it to be minimal, but not completely inexistant.
I will also be getting the N9 because I have been waiting for a viable alternative to Android. While Samsung's phones seem technically excellent, maybe even more so than Nokias, and the OS seems very usable, what worries me about Google is that they're an advertising company. That's how they make a profit. I don't buy into their "Do no evil" Santa Claus policies. Android is useful to them in two ways: to mine their user's data, and to pipe advertising to them wherever they are. This is why a fully open source OS is important.

Far from it, compared to our only other options....
The only big downer is that the community is now stunted, compared to what it could've been.
Hence nowhere near as leverage-able as Android's.
