Then how did Maemo 6 go from flagship OS as OPK had stated it would be to low-level as Meltemi? There's more to that than folks are paying heed to... Meltemi will be much lesser than Harmattan to accomplish that goal.

As far as your earlier statements that Microsoft has a lot to do with the decline of Maemo, completely disagree. OPK had years to deliver a coherent plan. It never happened. Microsoft was able to step in because of Nokia inability to produce results. I do not see it any other way. The results, the high return and defect rate, Qt just now becoming good enough and entrenched enough to be a good thing, all are years after the fact. Nokia didn't have years to get things ready.

Yikes what's that about, never seen that in any other vid before.
Perhaps just a dud unit? Dud phones do happen.

what do you base that on!? its more about if Qt is supported commercially. But if developers is not intrested well then I am sure they doing a big mistake. remember next billion...

Those pieces for the next billion STILL are not in place. Meanwhile, due to the drop in sales added to the sales of others, and Nokia has already missed the last half billion.

Oh I don't no Mike, maybe:

number of iphones sold Vs android sold Vs N900 sold Vs N9s ??? Vs symbian market share Vs Nokia pushing forward with MS

But that's not really what I have been driving at.

All I am saying is that as a phone owner I want a supported device which I can buy in the next couple of months. I'd like it to have all the features useful to me for daily use. Most people don't require a terminal, or need to know how to write a script.

Whatever replaces Symbian, well who knows, but I am open minded - when the time comes if there is a new symbian replacement it will be time to judge it on it's merits against the competition whoever or whatever that maybe.

Time travel would be handy but I have seen back to the future 2!

Idk how many, but it did look like he had a lot of apps running when the frozen/laggy multitasking screen came up. I really can't see that being the issue tho. What scares me more is that clicking sound throughout most of the video. It very well maybe a dud. After all, he said previously it was a FREE device for a review....

Jalyst, why not add this thread to your list of threads?

Is that meant to be some kind of jab?

I think it's clear this thread is more disjointed than others, & is meant for off-topic & random banter.
Why take it on, & try organise something out of chaos?
Besides, it's not my thread to organise....
The OP doesn't even respond to multiple user requests that it be renamed to something more appropriate.

I'm starting to think that trying to manage coherent threads & sub-forum is almost pointless in this forum.
The mods are totally MIA, maybe they're more "present" over at the MeeGo forum, who knows.
I might continue to manage only one from here, & open a few others over there instead.
I just got to get my head around the moderator situation first...

It's not a jab since I'm not familiar with that word. Ok, just thought it would be a great idea since this is the major n9 thread. No need to organize this thread.

I NEED my SMS messages from N900 -> N9. Ovi doesn't support N9 yet.
