It's not only Apple that has a reality distortion field.

You forgot to add "nokia support"

I'd buy pretty much any successor to N9 if it was running meego harmattan or something based on that. I'd even do it just to make a statement. I can't believe that Nokia is giving up on something that could've been miles ahead of the competition in favor of wp. Them silly gooses.

I hope to use my N900 (from 04/2011) and N9 (11/2011) until 2013-14, as in my opinion a top smartphone has a useful life of approx. to 3 years.

In 2014 we can expect some Canonical's planned Ubuntu in tablets and smartphones. Or Ubuntu for Android in 2012-13.

From Maemo/MeeGo Harmattan community point of view : it depends on us to continue releasing/updating softwares for Maemo & MeeGo Harmattan. For example for Nokia N9 it would be nice to have : Harmattan open mode for PR1.2, (Easy) Debian for PR1.2, Android 4.0 mutiboot, a complete text editor, VNC viewer, etc.

NO


My next device will be this one:

I'll keep my N9 until it has peeled itself to pieces. No more Nokia for me in a long time.

I think my next device will be Sony Xperia S ... that phone has awesome specs .

This type of blind loyalty doesn't help progress nor does it help Nokia to see that they need to cater to customers, rather than the other way around as it appears they've understood.


THIS is what I believe to be the important dimension to the historic woes of Maemo/MeeGo and most things Nokia has touched. Nokia has made incredibly stupid decisions shortly after putting out some innovative products well ahead of everyone else and COULD have lead the pack in the current tablet/phone wars... if only they had provided openness and support to their customers and community, physical presence wherever their devices are sold and, most importantly, listened to their customers to give them what they wanted. They decided not to be competitive. It's showing, and all of their competitors are noticing and taking advantage of that opportunity. Nokia needs to go back to the winning strategies that got them where they were and that their competitors are now using to clobber Nokia down. The new CEO is an unfortunate clown. Entertaining, impotent and tragically, embarrassingly so. Until I can see a genuine attempt to reach out to the open-source community and to support customers properly (seriously--mailing your phone to get it fixed?? sometimes not even getting the same model back??), I cannot see myself purchasing any new devices from Nokia despite being "Linux based" or "open-source based."

You guys are the ones hitting the nail on the head to point out support and openness as the most important features in any brand of hardware. I'm currently using Androids to fill my needs, but (same as my opinion about Nokia before) I don't feel married to it if something better comes along. If Nokia were smarter, I would easily jump back in again--but I just can't see it with the way Nokia intends to run its coarse.

I think 4.3" is too big for me, 4" is perfect. A15 proc would be nice.

My Nokia N9 is my last Nokia device. I am done with Nokia as a company. I will keep my N9 and use it as long as I can, when the time comes I will see what is on the market and replace it with that.

1.5/1.8 cpu smaller screen and built in keyboard (seperate is waste of time) and made by anyone other than Nokia
