its funny because they had something solid for a tablet with Maemo 5, and Harmattan is solid for handsets, and they messed up both in one move.

there is a simple answer. None of the Nokia products currently are revolutionary enough. They have become copycats. I hope they do come up with something that will be a game change, but N9 is not it

Supposedly N9 was targeted for markets where Symbian still has some kind of strength, or at least isn't drastically declining.
But there were many exceptions to that, India as one example.

Spent 4 months researching all the forums before I purchased it in October.

Very happy with the experience and glad I'm not one of the cattle. This phone stands alone amongst the myriad of devices around.
May not be everyone's cup of tea, but suited my purposes to a tee.

It differentiate herself from the rest of the pack...
If others choose to endure, then I choose to resist.
If others choose to compromise, then I choose to fight.
It doesn’t matter if the future will be brilliant, I won’t give up on today.
You may think I’m crazy. As I think everyone else is too ordinary.
I am true. I will show my true self.

Who says Nokia cannot have a Two-OS strategy?
They could continue to offer Windows Phone 7 on middle-end (Cortex A8, WVGA) and make high-end MeeGo devices (Cortex A9, qHD+).

What would you change for the N9 to be a flagship device. Or in other words, what would you change on the N9 to make it more popular? What in your opinion is wrong with the N9?
BTW, you are the only booger I know hating and uncapable of operating swipe UI. I's smelling jealousy from a M$lave...

Both the N8 and Lumia are more popular than the N9

The second one is my personal opinion, but one that I know is shared by many others.

Evergrowing app list and 1m x 1m tile list is awesome. N8 refuses to die because of the camera, color offering in today's market and cheap price. My "claims" are all by themselves enough reason to why the N9 cannot be a flagship. Elop also doomed Symbian, but the N8 refuses to die. Why does it refuse to die? It refuses to die because people like it.
