Ok ok tell my whats wrong and il say it again. Sorry guys. My keyboard predicts works and thats great. But the problem is. I dont always get the words -keys that i press because it tries to predict the word. And i forget and continue typing and post. But if you say what you dont understand. Il get back to you what i get home.
First off I'm certainly not a fan of Elop, as a long time Nokia user I actually still rate Symbian(the burning platform!) as one of the most dependable operating systems out there, and would take MeeGo over WP7 any day of the week(hence buying an N9).
The reason I commented that store staff are often lazy is because from my experience they are. As I already explained, more often than not, whatever the features you tell them you're looking for, they'll have you on one of the two most popular phones within minutes, even if they don't fit the bill for what you clearly described as your needs in a phone.
I only go into high street stores to have a proper look at the handsets(where possible, N9 being a fine example of not possible), but always find a member of store staff trying to tell me what I'm looking for, which I can almost garantee is not. I even walked into both CPW and P4Y some time ago saying I was looking for a good qwerty phone, to which I was recommended a GalaxyS2 Went back home and ordered a Nokia E7 which nobody in store was interested in discussing yet it fit my requirements perfectly.
Amusing discussion. It's like discussing if the Ford model T is alive or not. For the enthusiasts it is just as alive now as ever before. For the rest of the world it is nothing but a curiosity and a piece of history.
I mean, MeeGo is nice and all on the N9, even though it is not MeeGo but Harmattan, But it IS dead in any real world terms concerning the future.

Whatīs all this stress and race for nothing really about?
I assume most of you guys still have your N9s, just like I do...and I assume youīre still enjoying it pretty much...just like I do...
and we all know we chose it and still use it on purpose...the purpose of having something DIFFERENT...something you see every morning without feeling miserable that youīre just another mass-market sheep as are probably 9 of 10 people you know...
Comparing to anything available at the moment, the N9īs swipe UI is by far the most amazing phone experience. Its usability has been polished a lot with PR1.2 update. If the PR1.3 properly fixes some outstanding bugs and has already been defined, itīs even better...I honestly donīt need to even think about any other smartphone for at least a year...
so whatīs the big deal of constant fights whether the OS is or is not "dead"? Itīs still highly competitive, usable and very much alive OS in our pockets...and thatīs that...

Your hilarious passive aggressive jealousy aside, you make the right point! If you got your N9, why are you bellyaching? Have some sense of pride, for crying out loud, and try to clearly explain why MeeGo is not dead instead of crying about the facts that you're not really running MeeGo and that MeeGo was stillborn.
Thank you, jleholeho.

Hey Guys look what i saw in another thread.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Is-No...phones_id28513
Is Nokia working on two low-end MeeGo smartphones?
If this is true then, Nokia is confused and there is some fighting going on in the Nokia corporation

Microsoft-Nokia made sure they Killed it, Actually it was not so much Nokia that made sure it would die, It was Microsoft, Maybe someone should start a new thread about this, But i mean what type of business model is this
Now that i am on a Roll, i find it strange, Nokia is saying the N9 is the hottest smartphone of the year and yet, they killed it. I was actually Angry at nokia for a while, Because i Loved their maps,i think they maps are 1000% Better than on android, Mainly because of the robotic voice Google Nav has, and hoped they would do well, But you cannot change what is out of your control,
As you said, In the eyes of the world -- The world of Technology, Physically Meego is dead. Yes. But the idea that Meego stood for is not, IMO, you cannot kill Ideas, and this idea is still alive,Open source, the problem is, people are trying to reincarnate not the Idea, but the actually dead product, and i don't think, Microsoft--Nokia will want to see this, and IMO, i believe they will try very hard to stop it,
How? Well to add insult, the created Not one WIndows phone with the N9 design, But two. So, if you walk in the street with your Meego N9 and someone sees it and likes it, they will think it's a windows phone.
Atleast, if Nokia shares fall, and Microsoft Buys a large chunk, then you know, who Elop actually works for,
OK kids, five points for anyone who gets this correct, -- Which company did Steve Elop work for before moving to Nokia -- Anyone?
