He said that meego is not good enough for all the market segments and mentioned developing markets. WP need at least 1Ghz cpu. Maybe that means that meego needs something massivly better and we get a dual core or something. If not then he's plain lying.
3 comments in an hour.. this is the slowest i have seen this thread. I rarely comment much but i feel that i should maybe contribute to this thread considering the amounts time i just snoop around.
my hope for this phone is that when i have it, and people say to me "oooh what phone do have?" as people do when i use my n900, i can say this is the n9/n950/N/Ion and i would recommend you get one, because atm with the n900, i love it but i wouldnt say to me friends.. go get one.
Well, I thought the relase of n9/n950 was too good to be true. A wise person once said, "Hope for the best but plan for the worst.." I'm still hoping but it doesn't look good...

i know exactly what you mean, wider audience wouldnt go for pretty much landscape only UI. few of my mates would get one if not that.
but hopefully ill b able to convince them with this new product. now the only thing i dont understand.
How is Elop about to announce it? In every interview, summit etc he says 'yep Meego is dead' so how will he try and sell it on Nokia Connection?...and how will he convince phone carriers and their sales ppl to try and shift them?
It seems like he not only want to kill it but wipe it off the nokia's earth....
S. ELOPcalypse....hopes he looses his job.....Microsoft mupet :/

I've waited long enough and I'm sure a lot of people on this forum are waiting impatiently for it's debut, but unfortunately for me, the more I wait the more I start to browse around for articles to read the more disappointed I get about Nokia, especially FLOP ELOP!!!
If you have time, and I mean time to read long articles, you should give Tomi Ahonen's blog a read. Very insightful and also sad as I don't want to believe him.

Im worried we will never get to see the "Almost" device with the way this delusional CEO is running this company to the ground!

for example this bit: And yesterday, I posted the blog explaining, that where Stephen Elop has gone on record stating that the big picture 'war' is not about hardware or software, it is about ecosystems (on which I agree) but then, that he has destroyed a vast and vibrant ecosystem and abandoned its replacement, the world's most complete, modern, open and powerful ecosystem; and replaced it with the weakest ecosystem possible. This I have called incompetence.

this...replacement...meant to be Meego....
I think more along the lines of the Qt framework and it's ability to support a streamlined development on multiple platforms such as Meego, Symbian and Meego/Harmattan.
To te insiders: will the device be able to be used solely in landscape mode? As far as I know N900 is the only device which kan be used in landscape mode all the time. And I love that feature. Much better to hold it with both hands than to hold it with one and swiping away with the other, as I see so many people doing with their iPhones.
How big is the device compared to the N900? I know it is (much) thinner but how much wider/ longer?
I think the N900 is the perfect size in length and width. It only needs a bigger 4 inch screen which can fit easily in the N900 if the bezels on both sides (in landscape mode) are smaller.
Also nice to hear there are no buttons on the front. Another unique feature of the N900. Gives it a very clean look.
When Elop first came he said he wanted Apple style quick release after announcements, but if this was an apple product surely by now there would be companies coming out of the woodwork saying, we are creating xyz for a upcoming product or someone would find a case for this phone so it would be clear where the hw buttons are and the camera etc.
there can be 3 reasons IMO
a) blogs etc dnt care and havent bothered loooking
b) no cares to develop anything for this phone
c) its not going to be out for a while
hope its not c) cos the other 2 dont really bother me but if this phone is to be mainstream, then what better opportunity for nokia to release before a delayed apple release.
