(poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

the its clear by now that the n9 is the n900 story all over again, well **** it i'll sure enjoy taking that wave all over again, it was an awesome ride with the n900, and i bet its going to be way better with the n9 ......

now after you vote, please vote here for the same poll on engadget.com, thousands of users already voted ......

now, before we start don't forget that meego is far away from dead, and it will still be the main os for intel devices, so apps will always be coming :D and software updates as well, meego isn't even close to death ........

the n9 will hit certain places only, and it will miss major markets arround the world, what does that means ? Elop is trying to cover up for his mistakes, we all know that the n9 is going to be a hit, but Elop is trying his best to prevent it from beeing one, because he now knows that meego is way way way way better than WP7, and windows was a bad choice, but he can't go back now, and now he's trying to cover up his mistakes .......

well we all know that the n900 isn't a smartphone, its a computer that fits in your pocket, the n9 is both a smartphone and a mobile computer, its the best of both words, think about it for a sec, it handles multitasking better than a pc, and it fully works in single hand mode.............

the device is fully open sourced so yes there is a terminal, and the events view is open sourced so we are going to end up with widgets over there , the device is themable, fennec with flash 10.x will be avaible (note that fennec is the main browser for meego :D ), it can run android apps, its smooth as ****, and you can manage your tasks on it faster than any other device ........

look at the n900 now ( after pr1.2, pr 1.3, cssu, swappolube, all the speed patches, theme customizer, and overclocking....... ) and think for a moment, if the n9 started with that awesome os, imaging how is it going to end up :D

and its way too hard for me to leave this awesome community :D

cheers guys .

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

yes, keeping my n900 as primary web browser and messaging(might change with Fennec on n9)..

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I'm getting one. It will look nice next to my N950. :D :p

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

You have the n950 dev kit? Do guys have permission to tell it's specs?? or sell it??

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I don't have it yet. Only a few devs have received them so far (jaffa, atilla77, maybe some others). I think the specs are fairly well known, so I don't see any problem discussing them. They cannot be sold. Click the link in my sig if you want to know how to get one. :D ;)

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

i will not buy it simply because i am not the target market for that device.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I'll keep my N900 and if possible get an N950 dev kit.
If I *don't* get chosen as one of the lucky few to get a N950, I'll keep with my n900 for a few years, till something else decent comes around, something with:
720p display
Preferably x86 processor
Hardware keyboard
Open bootloader
Linux-based OS: Debian based is preferably(Kubuntu mobile maby?), Meego, or(as a backup option) Android.
(wp7, ios are both *completely* off the table).

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Doubtful now. Lack of Flash support even in Fennec, potential lack of distribution in my market (North America is still unconfirmed) and I think the people in our office have decided that Maemo is no longer an viable OS - iOS, Android, WP7 so far are confirmed to be supported by us in the near future.

Intel AppUp is on my personal radar, which might mean x86 MeeGo development in the future.

And due to my total disbelief that Nokia would have gone to WP7 that I have to purchase a Nokia WP7 device. Great... me and my big mouth.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

@elie-7
i did not know it can run android apps!! are you sure ???

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

there's no maybe option in there. I really want the n9 for its power and all but I need to test out its keyboard. Its also pissing me off a little that the n8 had hdmi out and n9 doesn't, and finally the price issue and HUGE issue. I want the 64gb boy do I want it; but 750 for a phone is insanity. Not only is it insanity it's not coming to the US. I'm not paying close to a grand for a phone when unless I can buy it in the US and hopefully play with it at the Nokia store here in NY. I love my n900 and will gladly stay with it if I have to wait. Hopefully cssu updates keep coming and i'll be ok.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I would definately consider buying one if it had a hw keyboard. Blend the n9's ui with the body of the e7 and stick a fork in me.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Keeping N900 until it dies. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Yes, I have pre-ordered it already. N9 is now in number 5 in Finnish retailer verkkokauppa.com!

http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/catalog/22a/Puhelimet

Suosituimmat = Most popular !

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Propably not. Elop trashing Meego just one day after N9 announcement killed the little enthusiasm I had left after February 11th.

500€+ is a lot of money to waste on something abandoned on release by manufacturer.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

i dont think so.
physical hardware seems to be fantastic, but software-wise it looks like a downgrade from the n900.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

yes via alian dalvik .....

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I want a meego based phone, but I dont want another damn OMAP3.. its rubbish! I have an omap @1ghz... Why not bring out an omap4!? (unless I am mistaken)

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

if i can find affordable n950.

worse case n9.

worstest case. galaxy s2

omap4 its not ready production looks quite limited.

only devices i seen playbook, and galaxy s3 its rumored to run in it. devices we wont see til q3-q4 and widely available til 2012

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

i dont like unibody phone like n9, i need hardware keyboard...n950 is for developer right???? is it mean its being developed before released?, if so i will wait for n950 :D

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

some say that not having the option to customize the homescreens on the n9 is a drawback, but in my opinion i think thats somehow a good thing, because with my n900 and the huge editing options, i find my self reediting my homescreens over and over again all day long....... that won's be a problem with the n9.......

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Nokia to support n9 "for years"

http://thehandheldblog.com/2011/07/06/nokia-n9-updates/

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Too bad you can't vote on 2.:( Let me explain; I'll get 1 for the mrs indeed, I'll however keep my N900 for now and wait. Might consider an N9 over time if no HWKB device reaches the sheves. Or get some Droid and replace the OS with MeeGo. 2 fingers up:P

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

It's not 100% certain yet. See the link for an interview with Myriad on the same subject. http://tinyurl.com/6gqkpwk

I think most consumers (even early adopters) would want a Nokia commitment that they would provide ongoing support and back this up with future devices.

I'm not a developer, but if I were, I'd say it lacks a hardware keyboard.

BUT...what an amazing UI !!! I want one, even though everyone with any sense tells me I'm completely mad. :eek:

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Oh, whilst I'm on a roll (and apologies for being off topic slightly) but if anyone knows where the camera button is located to take a picture (presumably on the screen?), I'd love to know.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I didn't read a definition of 'support'. Are we talking one, possible two firmware updates.

I want the N9/N950 to be as successful as the next guy, but let's face it, unless you're a developer who gets his hands on a N950 (or doesn't mind writing code on a virtual keyboard), there's little hope of a commercial success here.

On the upside, the N9 demonstrates to other mobile manufacturers what fantastic potential Meego has!! However, for anyone who loves Nokia devices; their quality and heritage, it's truly sad that they (Nokia) have turned their back on such a wonderful opportunity.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

no much apps, no strong support, and no guarenties, u have to be bonkers to buy the n9, and thats why we should :D

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Won't be getting one myself. UK dweller so the only thing hitting these shores will be the look-alikes with the WP7 cr@p.
Absolutely nothing else out there that I like. I'd look at a HP/Palm device if things weren't so quiet over there, and their design office stopped producing things that looked like Samsung PAYG phones.
I believe MeeGo is going places, but not on the Nokia train. So I'm just gonna sit back with my trusty N900 and watch for a while.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Yes. I will probably buy one. But not from nokia. I will buy one on second hand. I will not support nokia in any way since they kicked meego on their high-end phones. If it's a great phone? Too early to tell. But don't think this will be my main phone. Several things missing or not good enough. But hey, nokia still have time to improve sw before release.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

MeeGo has got the potential to succeed in a big way, but you need to look further afield than Nokia. MS simply would not allow Nokia to market MeeGo in a big way. With Nokia's superior innovation and manufacturing it can rocket skyward. But with Puppetboy Elop pandering to Monkeyboy Ballmer, it's destined to failure under the Nokia flag.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

True. Let's hope for LG and Intel

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Not interested in another slab touch only phone. N950 would have been near perfect after the community got cracking at fixing some of Nokia's failure with it, but meh.

Android would be the biggest hope, but they're too focused on CPU/RAM and not enough on storage and convergence.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

It still strikes me how Maemo/MeeGo consumers have to be so much concerned about the product being a success or not, and getting angry with N9 having or not a keyboard... Do Android forums and Iphone forums have discussions anything remotely similar to that?

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Maybe Android and iOS users are not worried about their platforms future, because neither Apple's or Google's CEO has said that they will discontinue their own platforms no matter what happens.

And there are multiple android devices with keyboard and iphone is mainly used for just calling and playing games where keyboard is not vital.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

yes they do, but google and apple do support their platform , wrong way but they do.
selop pretty much killed maemo updates, i dont know how he managed to do this since the support should be AT LEAST 2 years for devices. n900 barely 2 year old in november.

destroyed symbian resurgence, they try fix it with support until 2016.

and now sabotaging n9 sales too.

and yes people with android and iphone do like keyboards too >_>

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

Two scenarios possible:
1.) Will the N9 be the only Meego phone in the near future? If yes I'll buy one.
2.) Will there be alternatives to the N9 running Meego? Then I'll check those out and not buy from Nokia anymore.

The N9 does have all the disadvantages already stated several times. But yesterday I gave Android on my HD2 a try and was shocked a GPS app asks me for permission to take pictures and videoa on the camera. NO way I would allow that, which denies the chance to install. As Andrdoid without applications seem to be not a smart, but rather a dumbphone, I'll stick to Meego.

Replace Android by iOS or WP7 as required.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

you know what, i'm going for android, there is some apps that i just need and will never get to meego, such as whatsapp, zynga poker, all the 3d ea games, ........... yes the n9 still has the best ui, and one of the best hardware, but the nexus s will still have a better os .......
open source is the future, and it looks like google is driving the train ....

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

hi,

i am really interesting by N9 , but only if the most application N900 are migrated on Meego plateform.

i would prefer a keyboard...but no choice.

Best Regards

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I am still doubtfull buying Sasmung Galaxy SII, the only valid Android competitior. But it has no NFC and i dislike the frontbutton and i HATE flash and I dont want a stupid "ecosystem" I want a fully Linux not some crippled Linux from Google. But I must admit that it would be great to havce hdmi like SII :-(

But yes I will buy N9.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

This endless discussion about lack of hwkb is pointless. Harmattan UI is portraitmode OS.

Even on many videos with the devphone(N950) people use vkbd cause many apps is portrait.

Re: (poll) Nokia n9 : are you buying one ?
 

I'll get one if the price is right
