It is Nokia, not Elop that has brought Nokia into this mess. No matter how you look at this, Nokia will hurt.
Elop, and the rest of the board, good for Nokia? I disagree.
But one thing I am 100% sure he is NOT good for the open source at Nokia.
* He is NOT good for N9
* He is not good for Linux/QT/Meego
* He and Microsoft is not even good for Android the sueing of HTC/Samsung and other will soon start the same way as Microsoft and Apple is doing it now.
* I am not even sure he is good for S40
And thats what you call cleanup the mess inside Nokia? No, MrFlop is just helping Microsoft.
Until they proves I am wrong.. I disagree...
The only good for Nokia seems to be Nokia Sweden....

I'd be interested to know on what data people are basing their judgment that Elop's decisions are good for Nokia and it's shareholders.

Has Windows Phone 7 got multi-tasking yet? Last I checked hitting the back key to go to a previous app would just re-open that app instead of continuing where you left off - kinda annoying when gaming lol
Anyways back on topic: N9 has finally appeared on Amazon's website. I had a pre-order placed with expansys.com but I think I'll cancel that and go with Amazon instead as I trust Amazon's buyer protection alot more!

Harmattan simply hasn't had the same trajectory.
It's been planned from the ground-up as a true consumer proposition.*
Yes it's had the wind taken out of its sales massively since Feb.
But it's simply had a very different roll-out...
I don't get why you're ignoring all that, or do you simply not know all the history in-depth?
*You could never -in all honesty- argue that for the N900.
Assuming you know all the facts surrounding it's release.

You don't actually believe that, right? Because nobody in gneral public will even remember N9 after 2 months, if they have ever even heard about it.
I'm waiting N9 eagerly but i don't even a sec believe N9 will sell anything.
We all know it's not going to do even close to as well as it may have.
For a whole host of reasons. That we're all sick of going over…

I know that there is something called Nokia Link which should work with N9, but for that it only says is specs "PC and Mac application for easily syncing photos, music and videos". Any idea whether Ovi Suite would work in this case?
And before anybody says "use MfE": Not an option in case of my work email/calendar. Our company's IT-department has a monthly fee for such joy and with all these present day's cost cutting exercises its not easy to get an approval for that.
Besides, I don't want to contaminate my own phone with emails related to work, just getting calendars in sync is enough.

Someone hinted that the N900 is now shown in Amazon. I looked and yes, there is now listings for N9 at Amazon.com. The 16GB pricing is said as $500 and 64GB as $650.
They are sold by Hot Gadgets located in UK. It is a brand new seller with 0 feedback rating... (Smells fishy? I think so too...)
They claim it is in stock, but also say that it will be delivered at Sept 23rd... If it was in stock why to wait over a month for delivery?
Regardless, this may be a good indication of the N9 US pricing and also confirms the availability towards end of September.
EDIT: Prozac786 just few posts above mentioned the Amazon... Thanks for the hint!

See it. Only see gel skin protectors, and why would you need that on a polycarbonate body

There is a BIG difference between Maemo5 and Maemo/Meego harmattan in case of development. thats why harmttan already is more stable will be supported longer. much of the highlevel codebase can also be shared between symbian3 and harmattan. This was NOT the case with maemo 5 and old symbian both using totally different frameworks...
The N900 was released in Jan 2010 and Maemo was started in december 2009
