A video i recommend. Michael from MNB's 2nd review of the N9 & it crashes. If u read the description, he says there was a clicking noise coming from the device right before it gets all laggy. But if u watch the video, that "clicking" noise is throughout the ENTIRE video. He prob just started to notice around 8:00, where it just starts to crash. Not good.

I do remember seeing an article about minimum requirements for S40 a while ago, with 1Ghz Soc, 512 RAM, etc. But u know as well as i do, that could all change with the wind...

Yes but in this instance Nokia have made it quite rediculous and difficult, so much so that it becomes impossible not to notice the hardware advantages of rival products, not to mention the tidal wave of software development versus well virtually none.
As per software goes, it's been talked over multiple times and it always ends the same: N9 only has all the apps one might need, but not 10 variants of them.

Android keeps getting updates
As for Meltemi and what ever it's going to be, it's years away, isn't it? Comparing its features to that of N9's is a bit like electric windows: once a luxurity, now a common feature.

there's no commercial development interest in software for the N9
In fact, I recall reading not so long ago that developing apps for Symbian is actually more profitable than iOS/Android.
(can't find the article right now)
IIRC, primarily because you're likely too get higher views, & subsequently buys.
And more of those Symbian apps are being dev'd with the newest iterations of Qt/SDK.
This enables a relatively simple port from Symbian to Harmattan.
One example recently was 4squick....
It was dev'd for Symbian, & the dev was able to deliver a Harmttan equivalent just 2-3 days later.
Then there's....

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10...ltemi_for_s40/
Nokia was late to get aboard this train I agree...
It took yrs to retool themselves for Qt, amongst several other things they were (rightly/wrongly) trying to do at the same time.
But there's no way they're going to let Qt "wither and die" without a fight.
I just hope that their idea of "bringing the fight" ...
Isn't securing some agreement w/MS to port Qt, & then leaving it at that.

It's basically just maemo6 (harmattan)
(probably stripped somewhat or maybe not, given the baseline specs)
+ Qt5
+ SwipeUX

people who buy a SGS2 will be getting a 4.3" screen with a fastest SoC outside of the iphone4s.
the BOM for an N9 should be very similar to the LG Optimus Black P970, and that is around £300 sim-free rather than £450.
Above Engineer costs money! if you dont understand this basic thing, its just pointless continue discuss it.

2nd wave, 14 Oct in China. 3rd = November, another few more Asia countries.
So I guess that's were all the frustration stems from. That & Nokia did not communicate for most of that time.
Plus many aren't getting it at all in their country, they're generally the most vocal critics, understandably.

Slight exaggeration there, there's still a healthy commercial apps ecosystem in Symbian.

I think people percieve symbian as old and slow whilst who could argue that a dual core rival is where it's at.
I know, I know, numbers, specs and stats don't tell the truth, but your average Jo gets blinded by the marketting hype.
To be honest I've been baited by the Prime's specs.
Was it this article?
http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/01...app_store.html
The media 'see' the iphone user as refined with their finger on the pulse, whilst your symbian user doesn't know or care what they are getting. I suspect that it has more to do with being fashionable and keeping up appearances.
I agree that the N9 has tremendous potential, rather 'had' - unless of course Elop et al are double bluffers prepared to release it in all markets, whilst carefully waiting for it to build a reputation etc. But I doubt it.
I've heard of TV shows which get cancelled only to be re-comissioned with a popular following - I don't think this is likely with the N9...

2 years ago things could have worked out differently - there's no commercial development interest in software for the N9, even enthusiasts here have started to walk away.
Case in point, the average N900 user is still begging for flash 10
