The Android's for most techies
But the iPhone's for you!

Man, I don't know what to tell you, then. I mean.. you DID have to ask the question, after all, and the iPhone DOES have a spell-checker, which I see you will need.

what the hell is going on
Are you saying that those workers need to quit complaining, make enough of these phones QUICKLY before they're fired, so that you can get yours?

They really should fire Elop so that the workers feel happy enough to improve productivity. Chances are, knowing you or your coworkers are GOING to lose your jobs is a pretty good demotivator. I wonder if Elop has a bunch of those Demotivational posters all over his office and the hallways--takes them seriously--not realizing that they're NOT motivational posters.

This is one way of forcing it on consumers. Using the Nokia brand power but with ONE choice of platform.
What you call 'cannibalism,' would have been called 'diversity' by the many other handset makers producing handsets in the same market with more than one operating system (Samsung, HTC, etc.). :P Given Nokia's plummeting market share, stock and relevance even in areas where they've been successful, it might have been a far wiser strategy.

Isn't this time round supposed to be different, that's what they've been selling us.
This time they're serious, this is their mass-market/consumer-focussed iteration of Maemo/N900.
Step i of 5?

Throughout the 2nd vid, you can hear Nokia regional manager/s in background, talking about strategy for WP/MeeGo/Symbian.
I can't quite make out what they're saying, the accent of one sounds like he's a Kiwi (New Zealander).
I'd love to know how to lessen/remove the sound in the foreground, & pronounce the sound in the background.

@qwazix
I didn't get that problem, that MUST suck horribly!!!! is this post Mango update? I wonder if the other devices have that problem as well. My experiences have been with the Omnia 7
This is pre mango and post mango-beta, the real mango hasn't appeared yet. Maybe it's device specific, but as older windows mobile had a lag too I thought it' just some CE leftover. It does suck horribly, everybody hears only the secohnd irritated hello.

Did you get prices for the N9's yet that you will be getting from Mexico?

Those of you who already have your N9, what is the software version?

Will there be an ability to flash the phone manually just like N900?

I have a friend, Harry Caul, who can do that. He passed the audio through several filters and got a good result. He would not provide me with the filtered audio track, but did give me a transcript. For security reasons I refer to the two individuals as Bill and Ben.

Bill: "Hi, my name's Bill. I work in strategy. What's your name? I haven't seen you before."

Ben: "My name's Ben. I work in marketing. What's the latest news on this Meltemi thing?"

Bill: "It's a Linux OS for low end devices. It's just a minor thing. It was only supposed to be on a million phones, but some clown misheard and the slogan became 'the next billion'. Ballmer hit the fvckin' roof. Chairs flying everywhere. He doesn't like all this talk of a billion phones running Linux, even the heavily gimped, locked-down type."

Ben: "It's going to be tough selling a billion of anything, given that we've been screwing our customers for the last few years. I think the N9 will be a hit, though."

Bill: "Nah. We've only produced 92,000 of the things. The boss is making sure that it will be buried. We've got some WP devices that will be announced soon. That should do it."

Ben: "I see. What about this Tizen thingy? Do you see that as being a threat to WP?"

Bill: "We're pretty sure that it will fail, although with Samsung involved, there is a slight chance of success. Had we been on the inside, we could have been certain of failure. Now we'll just have to rely on Intel and The Linux Foundation to fvck it up."

Ben: "That might not be enough to guarantee the success of WP though. Sales haven't been to great."

Bill: "Ballmer's going to see to that one. He's meeting the execs from the big carriers later. In the conference room, there's at least 50 chairs, but there are only 15 people attending. I heard Ballmer insisted on extra chairs. No idea what he wants with them."

Bill: "Hey! What's that under your shirt? Are you wearing a wire. Motherfvcker!"

*gunshot*
