i'm glad the n9 is maemo with meego hair extensions. there's no way meego would have been ready for the mobile phone market. they should have focused on 1 area with it, but left the branchs ready for the other area's, splitting resources down all the avenue's was stupid. i can't see a fully meego handset in the next 2 years thats able to compete with current market devices. it took maemo years to get the the n900 level and be honest, i isn't the best phone, but it still rocks as an everything device. the n9 i consider the proper phone of maemo. so i'd add the same time it took from pre n900 to n9 as how long it would take meego to get a decent handset.

and meego sounds like in idiot chewing a toffee and trying to talk. doesn't have the same appeal as "iphone" or "android" or "symbian" names important and they made it look like a kids show and sound like one. praise be to jebus for harmattan. and i would hope they stuck with it.

Any example of a something that could not have been ready for Meego? (I hope you are not comparing Meego CE with Harmattan..)

3 links to a possible release in Mexico... the Nokia N9 is still not released.

Good news for me though, I have great connections in Mexico. Blam!

Update: My "bro" in Mexico City got some e-mail about it because he used to have a N97 - against my wishes - and will find out tomorrow dates, prices. Looking like I might be a N9 owner... soon-ish.

The big factor for a lot of us will be the price...

I have heard prices ranging from approx $ 700 for the 16gb to $ 900 for the 64gb version.

Nokia pulling an HP here and outpricing the product out of the market?

Tell me why should i buy N9 and not buy iphone 5?

what is so revolutionary about N9?

I am still fretting the battery life. iphone 4 has the best battery life out there. the whole swipe thing is a variation of a theme, NOT revolutionary. so besides telling friends that you got something else than iphone. why should anyone bother?

That's typical for Nokia. Only the iphone tends to be more expensive. The price will undoubtedly drop though with time....
