FWIW It took Google pretty much the same amount of time (give or take a couple of months) to launch the first Android phone after they bought the Android startup. And they didn't even release anything inbetween. Just sayin'.

indications are that the list found on the Nokia Check N9 Availability page only indicates availability in Nokia Store.
Is this confirmed in any other way than UK store is closing? At least Sweden have no Nokia Store but is on the list.

You really want to go there?

I'm not very familiar with Android history (never cared enough to pay attention), but according to wikipedia that would be 3 years 2 months (acquisition: August 2005 - G1 availability: October 2008).

The N810 launched in November 2007. Even if the N9 becomes available as early as September that's still 3 years 10 months.

And they didn't even release anything inbetween. Just sayin'.
Google don't make devices, didn't have an existing platform and community bleeding users and developers in the meantime, and hadn't announced anything and left the whole world waiting (the Android platform itself was only unveiled publicly in November 2007, while Nokia has been talking in concrete terms about Harmattan since May 2008). Just sayin'.

3y2m and 3y10m are pretty much the same amount of time, no matter the quality of communication.

Not sure if this has been answered, but couldn't find the answer, does the N9 also have a Micro SD card slot for memory cards?

Unfortunately not. But I guess that would have increased the device size. Added to FAQ.

But also compare the delta from the Android 1.5 to Android 2.3 to the delta from the N810 Hildon 1.x to Swipe. Hasn't there been more change in Maemo?

I also wonder what would be easier to hack on top of a suitable modern cellphone if you had plenty of time to do it - Hildon 1.x or Android 1.5? I would guess Hildon 1.x because the sources and dev tools are openly available. But please correct me if I am wrong, I am just wondering here.

I couldn't say, I've used Android for maybe a total of 30' over the years and have no idea what the differences between versions are.

We've seen maybe 2-3 devices running some Hildon variant, and hundreds running Android, I think that speaks for itself.

I would guess Hildon 1.x because the sources and dev tools are openly available.
Well, there were parts of Hildon that were never open (input methods, control panel, connectivity middleware and so on). One could rewrite or replace those, but it would be a lot of work and most attempts probably wouldn't survive it.

Think about it as if N9 was a small http server and your TV was a "browser".

Regarding HDMI/MHL -- there is none and will not be. Sorry, too late.
DLNA sound way better than hdmi if I understand it right this can be done over wifi/bt as long as the receiver has support for it? Way better than stupid cables thats thje future

same goes for flash ****it it should simply die.
