On Samsung's side there is this:

So basically when you have those profits, you can also act like they do.

But Nokia here is playing the opposite game: invest, produce an excellent quality product, discontinue the production, and re-source and re-locate to other factories the production of a similar device (NWP serie).

Volt, after using the N900 for well over 2 years I finally gave in and got the N9. Definitely an expensive device, and not an N900. But very pleasing and beautiful. I already found some quirks, like any Nokia seems to have to have.

Regardless, if you are interested in Nokia - as I am - and like the idea to have the last real Nokia device, then buy the N9. You will enjoy the device.

If you are less sentimental and more practical ("replaceable battery") better look elsewhere.

last real nokia device, niceeee

Re: Nokia N9 discontinued today in Finland
 

You can still get N9 in Slovakia at a lot of places, including official Nokia stores...
official price is 449 EUR for 16gb and 499 EUR for 64gb...though you can easily get brand new for some 300-320 EUR thru classifieds etc...
Lumia 800 is 399 EUR....
Wikipedia still states N9 is "in production"...

Re: Nokia N9 discontinued today in Finland
 

Oh, well :( . I was hoping it'll be in supply for at least an year since launch. I still had a glimmer of hope, however small that may be, that some day I'd see Nokia 808's camera in an N9 successor, that seems to have been obliterated now.

Re: Nokia N9 discontinued today in Finland
 

It wasn't meant to be successful anyway. Eflop and Monkeyboy Ballmer made sure of that.
And the fact that it was a total embarrassment to them because it sold better than the WP devices did in the same time-frame I should think they're glad to see the back of it.

Re: Nokia N9 discontinued today in Finland
 

Yeah. I don't like their design really. Nokia's is more superior. But what can you do. At least they are planning to make Linux handsets. Nokia so far plans to dance with MS tune.

Re: Nokia N9 discontinued today in Finland
 

n9 is(hmm was..) way better quality than n900. Especially the backleds,on n900 seems to have alot issues on n900. Infact did have three two did have white spot issue :(

btw. For people not have n9 yet theyr very lowprice now so well worth money imho. For sure the last i will buy from now raped company..

Re: Nokia N9 discontinued today in Finland
 

too true.

I lost count of how many android phones (not just Samsung) were launched with outdated software or never upgraded, despite being only a few weeks/months old.

This is why I never bought and never will buy an Android device.

-----------------

I was REALLY expecting the Nokia Meego phone. Had the money for it and all. Then came Elop and in the end I never even bought it. Now I want an n808 for the camera. But I'm not really sure.


In the end, the ONLY consistent company, that actually supports it's product and produces a reasonable quality device is APPLE. And I ****ing hate iOS with a passion. I hate the way Apple creates a walled garden and closes everything. The way they charge absurd prices, etc.

But the sad part of it all is that I may buy an iPhone or iPad somewhere along the next few months/years. All because of Elop. May the hells have a special place for him.

We weren't talking about Android OS. It was about conventional (X11/Wayland) Linux such as Tizen or Nemo. I thought troubles with support mentioned above were about hardware, not about the OS. I don't worry about the OS. My problem with Samsung is that their hardware design is not so good as Nokia's. But it's still better if they make some medium quality handset which would have X11 or Wayland (and the rest of Linux) drivers, than not to have anything.
