I detect a slight note of hostility towards Nokia here. Have you considered taking an anger management class?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

no not yet. But if nokia drop meego pre N9, I might follow your advice.

331 days or night left.

when was that 'roadmap' meeting supposed to be? IIRC, it was prior to MWC

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

11th. We should have a countdown for that so noone miss the date.

EDIT: a countdown is the solution for almost every problem.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

I am on! I hoppe engineers inside nokia start a new meego company and I would mind give them some investemnts even if its small...

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Definitely. Although I do have one request from Nokia in regards to the n9 so that I am not disappointed on this special day.

Please come with a QWERTY keyboard. Please come with QWERTY keyboard. Please come with a QWERTY keyboard. Please come with a QWERTY keyboard. Please come with a QWERTY keyboard. Please come with a QWERTY keyboard. Please! Please! Please!

Ummm... Does that count as more than one request?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

330 days or posts left. Nokia hurry up. You have a tight schdule and you are already late.

QWERTY required. Got it.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

6 days left to Elop+Steve Ballmer tells the truth....

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Nokia and Microsoft are announcing partnership next week, according to engadget :O not that they haven't done something like that in the past, but I fear WP7 software on MeeGo capable devices?

Ohh Noes!!!

Or creating an extra doorway for wp7 related software to be compilable to MeeGo and vice versa, that sounds better IMHO..

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Btw. This Nokia and Ms partership is nothing new. People who actually read news know very well that Nokia and MS have done many projects together.

Some nice press stuff from MS finnish site:

And looks who is there on ms side :) Elop.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

That may be true. But nothing like this. Nokia has worked a long time with meego which should be their new High End OS. At that time bring in another OS (win7) which also will aim for mid and high end. That will certenly kill some of the much needed boost from partner, devs and users.

Will be very intressting to see where nokia is headed.

Just pure speculations here at the moment!

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Not sure what to make of this on Twitter,

@awafaa Andrew Wafaa
bit of a bomshell dropped last night re #MeeGo not sure what to do now

@juphoff Jeff Uphoff
@awafaa Official bombshell or rumor bombshell?

@juphoff unofficial as in no announcement made from upstream, doubt they will either

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

thats most probably to do with the Linux Foundation Ruling the name SmeegoL cant be used with there openSUSE MeeGo UX preoject and them being too stubborn to listen and going ahead with the name

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smeegol_Linux

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

According to the Dutch newspaper 'De Telegraaf' Nokia is also going to fire a couple of execs, probably due to the loss in market share (as if it were that simple but OK) so a couple of them should be fearing the sack.

Hope its the Symbian UI execs! Or the ones responsible for OVI store ;)

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

What is this war still going on about smeego? what it is with some of the open source fanatic IDIOTS that cant accept licens agreement and than whine like kids?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

There is another side of that coin. The problem never really was with the license agreement (trade mark, actually), but rather (lack of) timely and adequate communication, i.e. the smeegol name was known, advertised and asked for permission well in advance, but the response in the form of a C&D came a lot later, in fact two weeks AFTER the project made it's first public release. That's what caused the... 'commotion'.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Even so they have still had 4 months to get used to the ruling but as far as I could tell back in December they still was releasing updates with the name instead of changing it. I know some was co-operative and willing to change the name but couple others was trying to stand there ground sticking the middle finger up

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Why are so many websites insistent that Nokia will make handsets with WP7? I REALLY want the N9 to run MeeGo and have a QWERTY keyboard.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Because WP7 is out (and struggling) meanwhile MeeGo is struggling to be released in a final, fully usable form that can be a mass-marketed OS, something that never was targeted nor obtainable with Maemo.

There are many other reasons; however it's easier to just look at the bottom reasons of that one is out, somewhat liked and the other, a ton of money invested, nothing final as of yet. Outside of this community, it just doesn't make sense to have nothing to show for your chosen OS of your future highend phones.

Thus... the question of "Why not use WP7, Nokia? It's there, it's square... get used to us thinking we want it there!"

Or something like that.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Should I pay for all this FUD,
or whether they are already paid for?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

It's called speculation. If you want to pay for it, you're in luck... I accept PayPal.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

329 days of speculation left.

You should indeed donate. But not in this thread, pick some of the brilliant Apps/Devs around here and give em some €$£.

Nothing comes for free.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

It's crap?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

As said, that's all the consequence of botched comms. When you pull a belated cease&desist on a fellow open source project, that's bound to generate bad blood, and the middle-finger driven response actions instead of cool-headed compromise is one of the consequences.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

nCDK qa report daily, not updated since 28 january something smells.......

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Just curious. How much experience do you honestly have with WP7?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

328 days left in this world until we might see the N9 YeeeHooo!

Superbowl+sunday. 35 minutes to go. Anyone watching?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Angry Birds will perform during the commercial break.

...and football=soccer :D

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Despite hearing this over a billion times, I never tire of this.

Yeah.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

So I have to ask... what's with the countdown until the end of the year so many keep posting? :confused:
What does that have to do with anything, especially the N9?
I mean, Christmas I can understand, MWC would make even more sense (but that's only 8 days away), but December 31st?

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

The thread title is actually a pretty fair summary of the reason for the countdown, though I don't believe the announcement Elop made referred to the N9 specifically.

1. In 2010, people wanted Nokia to release, or at least announce, a MeeGo-based product before the end of the year.
2. Instead, Elop announced that wouldn't be happening, and that news about MeeGo devices would be something that happens in 2011.
3. It's 2011 now, and Nokia should be announcing something before this year runs out.
4. So, Dave is counting down to the last possible date Nokia can take action without Elop breaking his word.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

That'll teach me to blindly dive into any thread that mentions the N9. :)
Spent so long trying to catch up, I forgot what the title was.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

327 days left. Its so close I can almost taste it.

Win7...meego...meego...win7...symbian...win7...mee go. thats right, I go for meego.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

4 days left to Nokia goes ...................

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

I don't know... Are you putting too much pressure on Nokia? Isn't it better they just get it right? Maybe you should give them an extra year in the countdown.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

I wanna taste Stevie Jobs tears when the iPhony gets destroyed hahaha(evil laugh)....

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Good luck with that. As it stands, better products exist, he already knows that.

But without MeeGo in place and without proper support and/or a proper rollout, you'll be waiting for that destruction as well as the as-of-yet finished OS.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?
 

Uhh, maybe you actually mean
at the very least 326 more days
of the fact
that the n900 remains the pinnacle of linux handphones
and thus (for the handful or so of us very few linux addicts)
the only real choice in the market.

Anyway, keep counting,,,,
