Danramos is here. The man who always sparkles and shines with enthusiasm over what Nokia has to offer :D It is good having you here, sharing your hope, joy and optimism to the rest of us :p

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

Frankly, even the N900 had an easier to use interface than Android. All those buttons on the front, the weird long press "multi" tasking, the awkward browser, etc.
The N9 is just N900 lite, but with an even simpler interface. I hope it's still as customizable as Maemo 5 (in the theme changing sense)

I don't mind running with slightly worse hardware if the software is optimized enough for there not to be a difference. Except for gaming, of course, though that's not much of an issue for me.

I dislike you DanRamos, however for once our opinions have crossed paths.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

danramos my good man, what did you end up getting?

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

It's hard to feel enthusiastic over this device. It moves as far away from the original Linux desktop experience devices we came to InternetTabletTalk to talk about and even when the shift to talk.MAEMO.org was made. Even on its merits as a handset device, the marketing copy feels like it's trying to drum up artificial enthusiasm for this device with statements such as claiming to be the first on any mobile phone to have Dolby stereo. Where have they been all these years??

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

Honestly? Nothing, it is a sack of sh|t.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

I remember the MeeGo device a year quote. But I didn't take it seriously. No, I don't remember the link.

Re: N9: It's finally here
 

Your links are about Dolby mobile, whereas the n9 has Dolby Headphone and Dolby Digital Plus. I don't think (/know if) it changes anything, but what you write is still incorrect.

So--we meet again!

To replace the N800? I didn't outright get anything, but I'm finding that my Samsung Galaxy Tab is filling all my requirements very nicely (especially after putting BASH on it). It's been surprisingly good, in fact, and satisfies a LOT of what I wanted, but it's still not entirely sufficiently what I'm looking for (I want proper keyboard support, HID, a real unmolested Linux kernel, etc.). I'm disappointed to see Nokia moving Maemo/MeeGo devices further and further away from being a more desktop-like experience, even while everyone else is converging slowly toward a more desktop-worthy one. Near as I can tell, I still haven't replaced my N800--just managing without it for now, since it's just too slow and unsupported to tolerate anymore and the N900 was just going in that wrong direction for me, too--I didn't want a phone, I wanted a pocket computer.
