Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

i think after the iphone4 leak fiasco, nokia have leaked these photos as disinformation!
they will want to get one over on apple and release something that wasnt leaked

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Maybe I'm stupid but why can't the screen resolution be easily calculated if someone has the hardware powered and in hand? Couldn't you just load a couple of Jpegs of known resolution and zoom them to native size?

I wish we had some firm hardware / firmware specs. But I'm sure the announcement can't be too far off.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

There is no reason to expect Symbian N8 to be stable at all. The UI has been refreshed which means new code had to be written and probably some low-level code changed to support it.

The testing cycle time is probably no better than N9, infact its more likely to be less stable as you have to shoe-horn new code ontop of such old legacy code.

In my opinion the current developers working on Symbian since v5 touch screen are the most incompetent in the industry. My guess is the team is a revolving door based in India

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

From where have this whole low screen resolution rumour even started from? Because of N8? The reason behind that are the old Symbian apps that will change when S^4 comes out.
You can all point and laugh at me if N9 got nHD screen. :)

If anything i'm more worried about the UI, CPU and future applications.


All that said i have been thinking the same. Just getting N8 with the HDMI out and great camera + MeeGo tablet. Only problem is that it's rather silent in the meeGo tablet area for now but hopefully we see some devices by the end of this year.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Hmmm...

Start wondering if the "kinaprototyp of n9" really is a phone that will be released.

I mean why would nokia release both an "N8-02 with S3" and a N9 with Meego/Maemo6 at the same time?

Also should we ask ourselft if Meego is ready for "mainstream" in december? Take a look at the Meego handset now and it is for sure not ready I dont get how it could be ready in just a few months? I mean it is about 3 months left of this year?

Dont get me wrong I really hope we get an Meegophone soon but :-)

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Maybe its just to gather feedback!

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I doubt that new thing called n9 would handle all the drops in the floor as good as the mighty n900. Its a rock! I'm glad I don't have a n9 :D

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Although i agree with your thoughts on symbian, I do not like your comment on incompetent industry because it is in India. Please refrain from such statements.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

About the screen resolution... Just read some C++ code:

http://meego.gitorious.org/meegotouc...h/trees/master

They are hard coding 864 x 480 pixels everywhere all the time. :)

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I could not agree with you more. I really hope this is NOT what nokia is putting out there. The shape alone is going to be a turn off for alot of people including me.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Sorry, zehjotkah, but I have to ask - where is your source of all this information on the N9? Just curious.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about Fight Club.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Hey guys, I made a very scientific calculation about the screen dimensions:

according to these numbers, the N9 resolution would be 786*429

lol :D :p

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

That's funny because that's exactly the resolution i was expecting it to be. :p :D

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

looks like a macbook pro ultra mini lol

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

looks delicious

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

My comments are from experience, I was referring to the "revolving door" in India where developers simply resume hop from company to company because its booming. Come in, hack up some code for a year and then leave for more money...

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I like how Nokia customized the Meego home button/app grid button. It looks much better with the circle around the 4 squares than in the early Meego for N900. I think the Nokia UI is going to be slick like Maemo.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

That was my first thought as well.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Ok I know the aesthetic is polarizing but you have to be excited about a real Linux mobile computer of this build quality. I can't think of any other OEM linux computing platform with this level of fit and finish and quality. Android IMHO does not count as "real Linux", it is just Linux the kernel, not Linux the open source eco-system.

Now Nokia needs to make laptops running Meego with the same level of fit and finish.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I do like the looks alot. Brings back memories of my Zune HDs aluminium back. This device just happens to be all aluminium.
Rumour is that there would be all black version too.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Aesthetics aren't all that important to me to tell the truth, but without specs to look an OS to see, etc, it is hard to discuss much else.

I am definitely in love with the idea of another linux mobile computer like the N900, but I'll probably skip this generation and wait for the 2nd gen MeeGo device since I'll have MeeGo on my old N900.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I find nothing useful in running MeeGo on my Nokia Booklet 3G (which is nearly as good at the build quality).
With that high resolution I want to have actual windows which I can see at the same time.
That is nearly not possible with the Netbook UI.
With other UIs it is okay, though.
ATM I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. (because MeeGo is not usable for day-to-day usage yet.)

And btw . I've nothing to add to the fight club comment. ;-)

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

What I'm really worried about is the launch date. I'm thinking that for the whole Christmas holiday, I'm going to be on the phone for hours with nokia reps. It's gonna be a lame holiday.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

So don't buy one, duh. Buy a finished product instead..

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Uh no. I'm not worrying about the phone being finished. Im worrying about going through the whole stupid nokia preorder/release date thing that I already did with the N97 and N900.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Ah gotcha.

Yea that was ridiculous! I was on the edge of my seat for quite a while last year as the N900 launch was delayed, delayed again, and delayed some more.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

only a little similar... maybe in keyboard colors !

what do you think ?

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

i was looking for this pics because every leaked phone has a macbook pro keyboard lol

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

When will Nokia start pre-orders? NokiaWorld? October with MeeGo 1.1 release? All the worries I had about whether Nokia gives a f*** are all but gone. They definetley realize the urgency of getting the N9 flagship out before Christmas.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

This time, the hype is from people that normally don't hype Nokia products; the N900 was heavily hyped around these parts, not much more else... especially after the announcement on the screen size.

I still have to repeat - and not to antagonize you - that this hype on the N9 this time seems to be a good thing because of all of the typical places that pan Nokia stuff is helping hype this one.

And it's a well-known fact that I'm not a fan of anything Nokia besides my Nokia N810, that is.

And see... I was pretty able to avoid N900 hype by not signing into here for a while. Nobody else really covered the N900, especially not the American blogs.

Not being able to avoid this device... well, it's the good thing I was talking about earlier.

Let's just hope Nokia capitalizes on it, fixes Ovi, delivers the goods and have it all working well instead of it just being "new".

And properly advertise the damn thing.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

Other than the feel, one reason I don't like chiclets is the optical illusion they cause. Look at those photos. See the dots that appear at intersections? Yeah, that gets old quickly.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I'm not sure I follow. What dots?

EDIT: OH! You mean the black square/white grid optical illusion?

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

OH please don't start calling it a bloody FLAGSHIP just look at how the N900 bloody flagship oops i mean bumship turned out to be lol.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

The N900 was never the flagship.
It was never advertised as such.
It was another test to gain experience and that was very clear from the beginning.
This however will be marketed as the new all-mighty flagship device.
You will not be able to ignore the wave of advertising made for the N9.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I think it also maybe more prone to not registering key presses. Or at least that has been my experience with membrane keyboards.

People assumed it was premium from the top of the range specs and pricing as well as it 'taking up' a n-series branding. This was not clear to consumers aside from this forum.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I really hope this fills the potential that the n97 and N900 were supposed to be. Mobile computing in my pocket in my pocket is definitely what I'd be looking for in this Meego phone.

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

I'm on the SHIP ready to set sail for ESPOO!

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

agreed. i'm hoping nokia makes more than a ripple here in the u.s. with the N9 advertising campaign, eurozone and asia will be business as usual

Re: Pictures: Nokia N9 Real leak
 

The supposedly leaked N9 pictures reminds me of this old design, and I`m not sure I like it.
