That's my fear. And as I understand it, the driving reason behind fixed or sealed batteries is to shave micrometers off the product size. Is that correct?
Probably.
Anyone heard about fuel cell ideas recently? I always wondered if that would come to market; it seems like a great idea, but might, err... burn a hole in your pocket.
Of course, there's always graphene. Or Elerium-115 (http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Elerium-115).

where is teh USB port?
Based on zejohtkah's posts, on the bottom left.
where is teh USB port?
probably behind an access door on the side or bottom
No keyboard? Now that´s a step backwards.

At least it seems to be the same device as in the Mr. Blurrycam pics.

Right below the volume buttons is the camera button. the HDMI maybe hidden behind a sliding door.

I hate Volume slider on my N8 so I'm happy lol

HDMI port on bottom of device per renderings. Camera button likely on right side, just like N8.
HDMI or USB could be on the top of N9, next to the 3.5mm jack. You seem to have a flap there.
Though that would still leave USB or HDMI out.

Now I've seen these Nokia-ish renders (think first Nokia WP renders) I'm pretty excited about it, although I'll probably go for the black one :)
Maybe after tomorrow's announcement and information blast, I'll be 99% over the whole hw kb thing. Ok, maybe 95% ;)
Right below the volume buttons is the camera button.
In the center of the edge?! That is unlikely.

It might well have to do with haptic feedback, or could just be a cool new differentiation aspect. I'd be happy either way.
Alright how can I preorder the blue one before I go to sleep?
From Nokia Conversations (http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/20/how-nokias-ip-makes-mobile-possible/):
It can lead to us developing new, market-leading products: the first GSM phone, the first GPRS phone, the first smartphone, the first cameraphone, the first mobile phone with a QWERTY keyboard, the first phone with video calling and the first – wait and see…
Edit:
And another one about solar charging (http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/20/here-comes-the-sun-but-how-can-we-catch-it/) build into the phone. That would be disruptive, don't you think?
It just hit me that this is kind of on the same realm as the 2007 sweet Aeon concept.
As a side note, make that happen Nokia.

Colorful iPhone?! I doubt that! :D
thats possible, but apple would have problems producing it without an antenna problem... ;)
and they can only make 1 color... no themes to change the style of ui or somethign like that :D
the curved screen could be good to have less reflections in the sun (like nexus s)... or because its needed for haptikos ;)
A quick note: these leaked N9 devices are almost same colour as Nokia's Windows Phone concepts phones :)

If we don't like what the OS ends u being like there are lots of people around already working on running maemo 5 'over the top' of meego and things like that. So hopefully the n9 could run what we are running now, except do it better(hopefully) and with that android emulator thing (what's it called -alien dalvik or something). the sky is the limit for apps and stuff too.

it has a bezel in shape of the anna icons... anything special? (except of "made in germany" ;) )

Photos are **real**. Seen the device once.

from the outline of the icon, it looks somewhat raised.
Any particular reasons for your doubts?
It has been confirmed by reliable sources that homescreen is not configurable. Hope is that UI is open enough that it can be hacked to be configurable.

<speculation> Could that mean a haptic function on that button? If so... why only on this one, and not on the others?:confused:
Who said this won't be configurable?
k123 and somebody else. It has been discussed earlier.

It has been confirmed by reliable sources that homescreen is not configurable. Hope is that UI is open enough that it can be hacked to be configurable.
We need this unit to be wildly commercially successful, ideally in the US as well as the markets in which Nokia is traditionally stronger. If that means putting up with a less-configurable UX - which can (and will) be hacked in the weeks and months following its release - then so be it.
Please remember: we are not the standard users. Standard users want something shiny which allows them to check Lil Wayne's twitter, update Facebook with fabulous photos of their way cool night out and which looks sleek and sexy next to their friends' phones and also fits neatly in the back pocket of their designer jeans.
MeeGo - if done right on the right hardware - allows us to have it both ways.
the back button is too WPish
they have started to even ditch cold-swapping and it's not that batterylife has improved very much lately. Hot-swapping will stay a dream IMO.
Neo freerunner can do it.
Its nice and shiny.
Here's hoping i can get the dev device.

Anyways, they can make the thing exclusively in pink, I'll still buy it. I have a friend with like every color of iphone cover (ebay...) and he has been using "fuchsia" (pink) for the last few months. At least he doesn't wear pink shirts too so we can still hang out.

If the haptics technology is the one described somewhere in this thread which involves using screen that will conduct electricity thus fooling the nerve endings on your fingers that you are actually touching something else then a smooth surface, i might think about it.

The only thing guaranteed not to be FOSS are the graphics drivers, and no mobile devices except Intel-based systems running Intel graphics have those.

I can live without 3D graphics, if the rest if it is FOSS.
The crucial thing is power management + battery charging. If that stays closed, no deal. GPS, Wifi, etc is important also.
I realise many of you don't see as an issue. I respect that, I simply want a different distro, more close to the desktop computing.

@texrat If that screen is convex, then the center of the screen is really, really vulnerable in a fall, or even if you absent-mindedly put it screen-down on a table.
Having said that... I can't say if it's concave or convex from the render. Logic would indicate the former, unless the screen has self-healing technology in addition to haptics.

I'm not too sure about that curved screen... Given how I use a touch screen (one hand to hold the device, the other one to touch/type), it might make it more difficult to reach across the screen... But we'll see.

i dont think so. i checkt the google analytics of my webpage nokiablog.ch. not one single hit with this resolution but a few with the
480×854 resolution together with "nokia" OS never showed up bevor april 2011...

I can see that it's convex.
And if it uses Corning's gorilla glass, convex or not, it isn't going to break that easily.
EDIT: and it likely does-- http://thenokiablog.com/2010/11/30/nokia-displays-gorilla-glass/
If you love the inclusion of Gorilla Glass on the Nokia N8, we have good news for you. All glass displays on Nokia phones will come from Gorilla Glass according to senior design manager for smartphones, Niilo Alfthan.

I know some have mentioned that this device will be shipped in September but I sure hope that is more like July/August time frame. That would really be a big and positive change from Nokia!

edit just read your other comment
I highly doubt a fall would break it. Nokia products are known for being sturdy, and I know first-hand that the designers and engineers take pride in that fact. I cannot see Nokia releasing a convex screen unless they had stress-tested it severely (as we did all devices when I worked there). This is a novelty that will get a great deal of attention so it will have to surprise people. ;)
I've heard from different sources (k123 and some marketing guys at Nokia Germany) that the consumer device will be released in September.
Accordingly to Nokias new strategy "announce late, release early" I can't imagine the consumer device will be revealed tomorrow. I could be wrong, though, as some developers with access to the consumer device told me, that they would be greatly surprised if it will be released as late as September. They're counting with June/July.
Also I was told that the dev device will be announced and distributed well before the consumer device.
My bet is, that the dev device will be announced tomorrow (tech demonstration and so on) but with the clear statement that this is not the yet to be announced consumer Harmattan device. The consumer device will be announced in the beginning of September and will be available in stores one or two weeks later.
I still find it extremely hard to believe that H-M is not already rock-solid & releasable if not months ago, then def. by now.
And yet, all we get is maybe the qwerty dev. device tomorrow*, & the consumer device some time in Q3!?
Now that we're pretty sure lankuu will be announced tomm (today for me), maybe we can assume it'll be available worldwide a few weeks later?
Just like Elop originally promised as Nokia's new approach.... more apple-like etc...
*which'll be almost impossible for most people to obtain anyway, as there'll be limited availability + stupidly high prices :(
a little bit offtopic, but especially for the hwkb lovers here... ;)
http://bit.ly/menTXU
So long as I can put meego/maemo on it, I'll be a very happy camper!
Make sure that's a semi-supported option please Nokia... :D
It will be mat, so it;s nice but no so shiny :p
Personally, I'm a hardware keybard man, but I would be willing to suspend my dislike of slab phones to give this beauty a look - especially if it packs haptics.
Same, I won't totally discount the slate.....
Particularly if this revolutionary new feature, really is as revolutionary as has been hinted...
Plus I REALLY want meego to be a commercial success, so if this device is what it takes, so be it!
Of course commercial success for a meego device can't be fairly compared to the other platforms.
But if it's successful on it's own scale... Nokia will notice... Elop can't hide that, even if he wanted to.
Well, so far I am not too impressed by design, espacially with the photo of scratched device. It looks so unfinished. :(
Still, it may be a prototyping casing. :confused:
F5 is my new friend. Love this thread :D

You'll have to wait for a detailed live demo, then. Too little info now to clearly identify the disruptive element(s).
i already apologized, K123 was kind enough to show me the device a few weeks ago.
however it is still my prerogative to be disgusted with the direction they are choosing to go. instead of trailblazing they wanna be an also-ran and follow apple. all well and good, but not for me.
its sad that i have build my own phone because no manufacturer is willing to support a discerning high end consumer.
still, its absurd that maemo has been reduced to pink shells and gimmicks, without replacing the n900, at the very least updating the device.
but again the fcc docs will be unlocked soon, thursday. so im gonna go back in the background. yes, im still reading the whole thread

I have no idea why people think Nokia plans to release this phone without it being sturdy, especially with all this durable material mentioned being used...maybe that's a diamond coated curved screen and a graphene body. Who knows, but that sure as hell will be more durable than any other phone.
curved screen could just as easily help reduce stress concentrations and help deflect the force from a fall...

Actually a convex glass has a higher pressure resistance than a non-convex one. It's why they use them in diver's watches, even though they're much more expensive to produce.
On the other hand the glass on the N9 doesn't really seem to be convex to me... I think it's just raised out of the case but still flat not convex.

Short recap:
Lankku - N9, consumer device, black, pink, blue. Harmattan OS ('maemo 6', not real MeeGo).
Dali - 'N950', developer device, keyboard. Not for sale. Harmattan.
These two should be made public in a few hours.
Ilmatar - Nokia real MeeGo user interface made to look like Harmattan, apparently depends on how successful N9 gets.
All this - maybe true, maybe not...

Hopefully they test unplugging and re-connecting the usb and hdmi cables a few thousand times too ;)
I'm sure the screen will be fine.
Leak phone depth: if it's 10mm near the end and noticably convex on both sides, it's not really as thin as you'd first think.
I hope the glass is really scratch resistant, because a convex phone will spin on the glass once it falls to the ground, whereas a flat one would slide and stop.
I can feel all my reservations just fall to the ground, on this phone that lacks so many features I want, but at least will exist...

No, nothing noticable there. it just says "Nokia prototype, not for distribution blah blah" there.

I'm betting it would be more likely to rock than spin.

Yeah, big difference between drop tests and cable tests. Nokia is great about the former, but sure did slack off on the latter with the N900...
Then again, it's my understanding that Nokia actually listened to us and went with a through-hole USB connector here. :D

In that case it must be a pretty big sticker. The picture is not usual aspect ration, suggesting it was cropped.
And the black area continues to the left.

I think there is something else there.

I am going to try to get ahold of a Dali from my Nokia contacts if it is being released as well for devs. Looks to be a fun night tonight of anticipation.

No, there is nothing else there, trust me! It's just a lof print text about it being a prototype, some code name/numbering etc. Actually, there is no barcode there, at least not on the proto I've seen (there is on another location).

For those lucky people out here on this forum that have held this device. Would you say that it feels sturdy with real good build quality, on par with the N8 or E7? Not that I ever second guess Nokia's build, but I'm just curious, since it is very apparent that they have not gone the anodized aluminum route on this one. Perhaps graphene?
You know, as much as I love the N900, I just felt that the build wasn't that great. I just want to be able to hold a device like the N8 and say "WOW, now this is a solid build."

Hi gang, a Newbie here :) ...
I'm loving this discussion, like many i'm disappointed with the lack of KB (have e75 and n8)...
TBH the mass market wants keyboardless devices (yes i know i want kb) .. Anyhooo...
I can't wait for the launch tomorrow. I would love to swap to n950 and the n9 :) ..
It's the bloody iphone antenna joke - get it?
i know that sentence from jobs...
i thought he (texrat) is someone who wants this thread keeping clear without spamming...
Agreed.
Guys, there is enough interest in this subject that there is no need to bump the thread with spam.

I didn't complain about jokes, just the bump posts.

I'll repeat myself, there are two extra rectangles on this screenshot!
Why two?
All I can say is WOW:

What's there? The YouTube says that video is not available in my country. :confused:

no, i mean the visible area around the cam (with the nokia logo aso)... the device shown by elop and the hints from you both looked like silver(metallic) area, on the pic it looks like some kind of foil

Remember, you have to stick SIM somewhere.

hdmi and usb?

rickrolled....nothing to see here
Ilmatar - Nokia real MeeGo user interface made to look like Harmattan, apparently depends on how successful N9 gets.
Interesting name. Maemo versions were named after winds.llmatar was the ancient pagan finnish demi-god of winds and air. Maybe the plan before Elopcalyse was to name Nokia's Meego builds after gods of winds/weather.

How about SD and HDMI + micro-USB?

In some photos those are identified as usb (left) and HDMI.
EDIT: oops, think I'm looking at the wrong end.

try the link with hidemyass.com! hides your IP. But the video is probably just Richard „Rick“ Paul Astley

the bulge on the left side could be the on/off button

having a camera at that position makes more sense in terms of gesture usage/control.

guess he was referring to the black rectangles covering some of the white areas on on top of the device. they're not on the device, but only added to the image to cover some parts of the phone.

no hdmi? strange, cause some tmo members told it will have hdmi :confused:
some tmo members cannot possibly be wrong.
what's happening tomorrow? Oh, and why's there no epic N950 anticipation thread when this community would traditionally be interested in the dev device?
no hdmi? strange, cause some tmo members told it will have hdmi :confused:
it will have hdmi... dont panic...
Any specific questions you guys want me to ask from Nokia staff in event tomorrow in Espoo (Nokia HQ). Most likely it will be easier to ask questions there than in Nokia Connection in Singapore.
Well i sure hope it does have HDMI, cause if it ain't.. well then it's a device which was already run over by time. No one wants a device like that.

N9 has leaked. But somewhat missing the slider.

Ask them if they can sell/give you a n950 (HWKB device) and then you sell/give it to me! :P
i already apologized, K123 was kind enough to show me the device a few weeks ago.
however it is still my prerogative to be disgusted with the direction they are choosing to go. instead of trailblazing they wanna be an also-ran and follow apple. all well and good, but not for me.
its sad that i have build my own phone because no manufacturer is willing to support a discerning high end consumer.
still, its absurd that maemo has been reduced to pink shells and gimmicks, without replacing the n900, at the very least updating the device.
but again the fcc docs will be unlocked soon, thursday. so im gonna go back in the background. yes, im still reading the whole thread
Well, if I was in the market for a nice candy bar, I might considered it but I would be concerned that like with candy, after the sugar high, there is not much behind it. Nokia has made a major commitment to MS so I do not think this device will have much of an "ecosystem" to support it over the long haul. Nothing like Apple anyways. So while I was hoping for a kb device I could actually get work done on, that had something like easy Debian availible so I could take advantage of the great software, and much of the neat stuff developed by the maemo community I'm afraid that will not happen. Too much of a niche within a niche.

Ask about Dali

dude, i just had a breakthrough... imagine nokia hardware excellence and microsoft software excellence when it comes to gesture control! xbox kinect has quite impressive gesture recognition...
I can see it now... I will wave my hand over my nokia and it will automatically play "these are not the droids you were looking for.

maybe that hides some barcode, which would identify the leaker.

Yeah, I am still hopint it will and I would be pleasantly surprised if it did.
maybe that hides some barcode, which would identify the leaker.
From that angle? That is clearly the back side of the thing. And there is something there.
Besides it seems the original background image was cropped again, last time I've checked.
maybe that hides some barcode, which would identify the leaker.
You'd think that was obvious to everyone...
Ask about Dali
Preliminary information I have is that it had some hw/mechanical issues, I'll ask more details tomorrow although they might talk about it voluntarily :)

Ask them why. As much as I love them bringing their probably last GNU/Linux based phone to the market, it just doesn't make sense in Elop's world. Ask them why.

Ok, it has HDMI! :)
Just got a confirmation on that from a guy who really should know. :)

They are going to make them available to developers just curious how this process works b/c theres many developers on here with zero relationship with forumNokia

Their official statement is (from Nokia PR):
"Under the new strategy, MeeGo becomes an open-source, mobile operating system project. MeeGo will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences."
I don't think they'll say anything else regarding their MeeGo strategy.
Any specific questions you guys want me to ask from Nokia staff in event tomorrow in Espoo (Nokia HQ). Most likely it will be easier to ask questions there than in Nokia Connection in Singapore.
Plans for the future (MeeGo), software updates, relationship with Intel.
And how far can you overclock these things, obviously. :D
microsoft software excellence... ROFL
yea... i know... but you can hate xbox kinect nearly as much... this is coming from someone who is still a die-hard playstation fan
