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.

EDIT: Seems like it's already known here :P Was too fast and didn't check all post since a couple of hours ago :)

It looks like the screen is protruding out in a convex shape. How is that screen going to survive the first week?

I've looked at the 3,5mm photo and a number rising up after some ish-math is that the phone is "exactly" 10mm thick. I like that a lot!

giorgosmit 2011-06-20 19:56

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread
 
@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.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread
 
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.

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/n...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.

Guys, I remember the bad day when this happened:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/e...cept-revealed/

Elop afterwards mentioned the post count for this Engadget article referring to how "awesome" the new strategy is.

Could we please flood Engedget with comments when the N9 is announced? (I know, Engadget sucks) But Elop seems to watch the reaction on this site.

Re: The EPIC N9 anticipation thread
 
Oh No! I feel a weakness coming. 960 something resolution, haptics (real haptic feedback, maybe???). The need for HW qwerty suddenly started to go away. :eek:

because it looks curved outwards, falling while facing down will brake it. there is no metal frame to protect it like in n900

At least it's easier to know which part of the screen your finger is touching, even without looking at the screen. Heads up - as Ahtisaari said last year?
