I've think that N9 Is Doomed. Why? We do not run upstream kernel. IHMO it's the biggest strugle. Without new kernel in few moths we wont be able to run Sailfish OS (Which runs shity on N9- low performance, call issue, I cannot download any single app from store)
My sincere hope is in Nemo mobile but as it's strugle to bring daily os (Wayland migraton and also kernel) GPS probably will not work at all because Nokias properitary protocol.
Nitdroid could be relief, but it's not updated, I don't think that e-yes is working on it anymore. Maybe If we could make a a real Bounty for a proper CM port (no just AOSP- CM bring more power to user)( BTW, android look awesome on n9). There's android phone with the same SoC SL 9003 (samsung). I hope that new Neo900 will provide a working phone - not like OpenMoko did. Nor that I will buy one, I keep my fingers crossed .

Nokia leaved MeeGo, Intel found new partner (Samsung) And they moved their toys to new playground TIZEN. Which did not deliver anything more that S3 Developer devices(Super hiper secret to public).
