folks come down! all i said was that i wish the next phone to meet high quality standards.


what i get is a lot of bashing telling me that quality is not necessarry for a expensive phone("take care"). another points to a vid in which nokia shows that quality matters(stresses out my point). and then speculations over speculations based on personal experience to the amount of affected devices or not.

folks, i don't care much about all that. i care that i can trust if i buy a phone that it is of a high quality so that i can use it in all situations of my life and can trust that it is robust enough to survive little accidents happening in day in day out use and is fit to be used independent of the wheater(bad situation if you stand in the rain with a phone but can't use it to call a taxi ... ) so that i know that i can rely on it and know i will have it for a long time.
and this is what i would love to see with the next phone.

It was a design flaw - the first thing i noticed about the N900 was the micro usb port - I'm always very careful with it! (And any device with a microUSB port!).

The N810, 5800 and many other devices had it - and had no problems! And i've had no problems with my N900 - but when you notice that something may be delicate you TAKE CARE! The N900 weakest point IS the micro USB so you don't need to take much care of the phone but DO need to take care with the usb port.

If you can't understand/comprehend that then you may as well sell your N900 and get a £10 Nokia, which you can just throw at walls.

+1, HTC feels like toys. Nokia N-series look and feel the business, solid build and good quality components. Thats why I buy Nokia.

milage varies. i'd say the weakest point is the display.
whatever: i'd rather have a phone without such "flaws".(for the usb: its no real flaw for it works. its just a low quality method of mounting it, not as robust as it could be using other technics of mounting the port. well and yes all devices had the weakness.

latest rumored spec list, i'll be happy when device is announced so people will no longer have to guess which one of the 100 lists are correct.

4.2″ AMOLED, 1600mAh, 190 Million Polygon/s power, 768MB RAM, 1GB ROM, 12MP

Well on thing is for sure, those specs are not real. He changed the original polygon count from 16 after hearing N8 count...

Anyways from the leaked N9 picture with the new 1320mah battery with higher voltage than N900 we suddenly go to big 1600mah battery....sure.

I have to second that, lol, from the most recent google blogs:
IT Pro Portal
Gadget Venue
Product Reviews
Nok Nok
Nokia Phones
UK Plurk
Softpedia News
GSM Dome

they all seem to have in common 4.2inch screen, 1gb rom, 768ram. Some say the 1600mAh could be a typo, and no word on the processor...although... IT Pro Portal claims it uses a 28nm manufacturing process and they "seriuosly suspect" that N9 will run ST Ericsson U8500 dual core 1.2Ghz with ARM Mali 400 GPU... that would be a dream come true...

I suspect that if Nokia were to release an A8 based device next year it would be an embarrassment. My conjecture (baseless as it may be) is that the N9 that was rumored is dead and took Harmattan with it. What is to come will be something A9 based running MeeGo, as that's the only way they could actually compete if they release around April, when A9 phones will probably start dropping (if not sooner.)

Again, the above is unfounded conjecture.

One of those blogs did mention that because Intel confirmed no MeeGo phones will be released until 2011, it gave Nokia time to revamp their hardware... again, it is nothing but speculations based on rumours, but i would love that to be true. Imagine a dual core on a mobile...it will trully kill the competition

That's they way I see things. they planned to release the maemo6 device this year with an A8 CPU but they cancel it because maemo become meego and they didn't want to create fragmentation by releasing a meego-harmattan device. So they'll probably go for A9. However I don't think they will release any device in april. it will be nice, but I don;t think so. let's say they will target meego 1.2 for N9. meego 1.2 will be released at the end of april. most of the features are just being added in meego 1.2 and they are not properly tested. so they will need at least 2-3 month to test the os and fix the bugs, or they can go for meego 1.3 which will probably be more a bug fixing and optimisation version. At least this is my prediction.

My theory regarding this is not so much avoiding fragmentation, but that Elop killed Harmattan and the A8-based N9 because they would have been too little, too late, and drawn their support of MeeGo into question.

So they'll probably go for A9. However I don't think they will release any device in april. it will be nice, but I don;t think so. let's say they will target meego 1.2 for N9. meego 1.2 will be released at the end of april.
Well, if they wait much past April then they run the risk of being left completely in the dust as they'll be mere months away from Apple releasing the iPhone 5, never mind the constant deluge of Android phones. I suspect they'll be closer to the bleeding edge and will bank heavily on the compliance spec being set in stone before then, allowing them to release a device as close as possible to the MeeGo 1.2 release date.
