Engadget have posted their N9 review.
Surprisingly positive. Guess everyone swallowed the WP7 pill with pain.

Here's to hoping that Nokia pulls their collective head out of their rear and decides to continue development and maybe even push another phone out. Thinking WP7 will save them seems a pie in the sky hope.

Aaaand again it goes.. "Weak ecosystem!", "Dead platform!" I really don't get these messages. Many people don't even use 3rd party apps, so how is that an argument for those people? We (developers) can make (some) apps we are missing, right? So it isn't a big deal for us... I think it's valid point only for S. Elop -- he always talks about "shifting from battle of devices to war of ecosystems", but he has his wonderful ecosystem comming in weeks, so he does not bother either.
Anyway, who needs an ecosystem? What we need is community. And we are the community!
Engadget did a good with N9 and it shows they have actually used the device as they mention thing like "swipe to close the app" that's hidden in to settings. There where so many things not mentioned on N900 review by Engadget that any user using it for more than 3 days would have known..... or with N8 not knowing it had 2 step camera key...lol.

I'm really surprised people are demanding the 64GB version so much. Isn't the 16GB iPhone the most sold one? It's not hard to find 16GB version N9's to buy in Finland, but in a same time people are clearly locked to only get the 64GB version.
I'm a phone nerd that fills double the 9.5GB space by music alone so 64GB makes sense to me, but i have been in a impression that most people don't really need more than that 9.5GB on their phones.
2) Those who buy N9 is a different target market from those who bought the 16GB Iphone.

Seeing more of people that don't need/want tens of different apps.

Expansys Greece has now put a price on the N9 (669 motherfrakking euros) but they are still in the preorder phase with no clue about availability. It's like Nokia is playing hide the sausage (and take that as you will) with the few masochists refusing to be dazzled away by the 4s or the new nexus.

It's Maemo/Meego fans & Nokia fans more interested. To a lesser extent Iphone 4 fans who are not getting the Iphone 4S, in my country anyway. A few Android fans who want to try a different OS as their 2nd phone

Samsung Nexus, Pentile confirmed....
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/t...us-not-a-plus/
Obviously a much better pixel density than SGSII.
But at a sub-pixel level it's back to where the Nexus S last year was.*
Maybe I waits for Sammy to bring SAMOLED+ 720p in Q2 12', yum
*not entirely accurate.
