No HW Keyboard, no deal.
I quite fancy one a WebOS phone though, whether it has HW keyboard or not. Very happy with the N900 for the long forseeable future. I'm gonna get a second one (second hand) so I can do all the experimental stuff on it, that I'm too scared to do on my main one (NITDroid, Aircrack etc.....all those things that have a chance of screwing up) because I need it everyday for work.

As I've said on another thread, if I had the space and money I'd buy both a pickup truck and a sports car. I see N900 and N9 in much the same light.

You seem to forget where the money comes from for all these companies (note: not charities). The money comes from us - the consumers. We pay the wages. We pay the R&D costs. We pay for the shareholders' dividends. We are the market force.
It is only because we the consumer... <snips some righteous rants>
You make it sound like the consumer is powerful.
Go unionize them, then we'll talk.

lol @ all this freedom talk. No one seems to feel free to update these ancient n8x0 apps. Or perhaps release new apps for them. Seems y'all have a lot more in common with these big bad corps than you know.
when I get an updated Tear and webkit I'll be sympathetic.

Consumers don't just speak and shut up. They speak again. they change their minds. If that wasn't true, companies like Nokia would never fail. But they do.

Back to the topic:
Yes, I will get the N9, not sure if I buy the black one or the blue one.
If Elop is right about the N9 being Nokia's first and last Meego device and he is not replaced with a capable CEO, then this will be my last Nokia device. No WinPhone for me.
