That's the good thing of living in the EU: No matter in which country it gets released first: I should be able to order it right from there and have it shipped to Germany.

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!
There is no plan for dalvik on N9--certainly nothing confirmed or talked about by anyone in Nokia, it's just bs and rumor flying around. Anyway, if it doesn't come out by the time I finish this sentence, it'll probably be doomed and forgotten anyway. Also, while we're at it, what's an N9?

If this is delayed any later then end of Sept. I'm done.
There's no way it's not releasable by then, there'd have to be artificial delays involved.
In which case I won't buy an N9 or the following Searay.
On to a WebOS & Android ph for Xmas, and a WP7 (non-Nokia) 6mth later.

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.
That's do-able... so I hope-to-god you're right!

Myriad said round the beginning of the year that they've no plans to release alien dalkvik for end-users.

Dunno if that's changed, but I certainly haven't heard otherwise...
Just plenty of users along-the-way "assuming" they will.

Oh and twin troll's back it at
Just curious, why do you even bother following this thread any more?
You clearly hate the N9 and want the worst for it.

Thanks for clearing that up, best not to assume that will be available then. Ah well will just have to keep crackin' them books.

I also started envisioning a DIY combined case and hw keyboard for it, wonder if it would be possible to make it work with the NFC

While I of course can't tell you any internals, I will say that nothing fishy is going on and in all likelyhood the N9 will be out when it's ready.

Even if Elop would be a trojan or the devil in person, he would have to be quite stupid to try any foulplay, when quite a few disgruntled devs wouldn't hesitate to call him out on that. From what I can tell though, Nokia management wants the N9 to succeed like the rest of us (aside from Dave and danramos ).

indeed, i would translate "es geht sich schön aus" as "it's easily in time for" in that context.
so, sometime between sept and nov, but we kinda knew that already

btw, i also like this bit from the interview:
"Worüber ich jetzt noch nicht reden kann, ist, ob das N9 das letzte Produkt mit MeeGo ist oder ob es noch weitere geben wird."
Transl:
"i cannot tell you yet if the N9 will be the last meego product or if there'll be more".
that doesn't sound like the definitive "no" everyone's so afraid of since the elop interview and quim's blog post
but then again, it could be...

god i hate marketing :P

Just curious: what about WP7 makes you want to spend money on it? Follow-up: what makes a non-Nokia WP7 phone more attractive than a Nokia MeeGo phone (even if the N9 is delayed)?

I just ordered a WP7 phone (Samsung Ominia 7) to fill the gap of trying something new until N9 comes out. Well, my work allows me to buy a phone every 2 years and expense it for reimbursing and it cannot be an Android phone. As I have plenty of Nokia phones, I decided to get a WP7 phone to just play with. I'll be eagerly awaiting for the Mango update though.

You will regret it as soon as you see the menu

Why do you respond to it? You're clearly taking me (and probably the N9) far too seriously. heh I came for InternetTabletTalk and ended up being told I should like the N9... why WOULDN'T I want the worst for it? By comparison, the N900 is an incredibly wonderful computer--and I didn't even like that move away from the N8x0 line as it is. Why do *I* check back? Hoping that something running Linux gets released that follows in the Maemo/MeeGo footsteps that I can like. So far, I remain unimpressed. Clearly, you're much easier to impress.
