Untill of course HMD Global were to finally put Jolla Sailfish on it and start influencing & assisting Jolla's Sailfish development to become the VERY core of all future HMD Global devices to be what the N9 , N950 could and should have been close to a decade ago: two complementary productivity smartphone phones that everybody craves and that feeds again non stop speculating about the bright future of mobile.

At some point they stopped being primarily phones or even computers and became big brittle facebook and youtube terminals.

also, nokia has a pretty awful track record with bootloaders... the N9's firmware flasher was like the worst thing ever.
so, as a SFOS port is pretty dang unlikely, id say this thread would be more at home on a site called talk.android.com...

Yeah the difference from an Android phone with AMOLED + Standby Screen (that they've finally caught up with) would be the form factor but also I'm assuming that they'd customise the multitasker/home setup to emulate the N9's swipe UI as closely as possible, which would be amazing. Plus having a swipe UI is really helped out by having the curved body edges and the screen that flows in - it feels much more natural on an old N9 than a Jolla C for example.

But anyway I like more Maemo than Meego. And more N900 or N950 than N9.
