Lol no hard feeling guys. I'm safely leaning toward the SGSII instead, it has better potentials in term of hardware spec and long term support from Google. I would rather trust my money on Google than Nokia, though Google taking my information but Nokia taking my trust.
Given the lack of support for the N900 by Nokia it seems most sensible people's money would be better spent on the SGSII or HTC Sensation. Even the LG meego os phone maybe a better option[/QUOTE]
Yes, I'm thinking the same thing. I really hope it has similar specs as I saw somewhere.
64GB mass mem + MicroSD - 720p video recording and playback - HDMI - PowerVR540 graphics chip
It is mencioned ARM A8 Cortex @1Ghz and 512MB of ram . So it will perform at least a little better than SGS 1 . Difference is 'Humminbird' chip, Power VR540 is a bit better, I think. As they said it will come with an 'elegant hardware' . So I am not expecting a Dualcore device. Even it should, after all it's supposed to be a HighEnd smartphone, but I know Nokia. I'll wait and see first of many reviews and price drop a bit. Got my N900 in September, 2010 for U$400. Don't want to pay more than 500 with N9, except if it matches SGS2 (wish that one had a nice 4row kb) .
Is there an official announcement yet? No.
So how are you able to judge about the hardware?
I call the possibility to upgrade every six month for eternity a pretty good long term support..
You are referring to Meego proper vanilla right?
Few end users want Meego proper vanilla, and it is hard to believe Nokia will port the Harmattan UI and all of the proprietary binaries to Meego and offer that as a firmware update. Maybe they are talking about such plan now, but Nokia's plan regarding to Maemo/Meego is not accountable..
Ok teaser...but even in a teaser you can show more.
If you have more.
As someone else here already said, it would also be interesting, how long the eco system of such a MeeGo(?) Smartphone will be supported.
There should be some clear statement from Elop, if MS will buy
complete Nokia. ;-)
Just joking.
If Nokia can swear that it will delivering updates, support and all QT applications across from Symbian, games and new application from MS win7 then I'm all in.
If Nokia do what Apple did in providing support to the N9 for as long as MeeGo still capable running on the device then I am all in.
If Nokia willing to do a fair trade-in of my N900 for half price discount on the N9 then I'm all in.
If Nokia makes this device record at 1080p 30fps smoothly and provide Flash10+ updates then I'm all in.

If Nokia.... ... Add your words here ....
Come on... be realistic...
All I want is that I can buy the device with QWERTY keyboard. Then I'm all in... if there will be a qwerty-less device for consumers to buy only, I don't have that much interest in it...

That does not seem likely - why would Nokia give the developers different hardware to what they are going to be deploying to? Developers need to see how their app will run on on consumer devices.
So that doesn't seem likely. My guess is dev device and consumer will be the same.

That's my big hope. If so, I will pre-order this thing as soon as possible...
i don't care what support they have. the N9 will be my next upgrade. my thirst for an open linux-based smartphone that has decent performance, useability and UI has been answered!
