The N9 is IMHO the best phone ever done with open source.

Yes, it's main orientation is portrait (and landscape is supported when it matters such as camera, messaging, email, browser...). Yes, the browser is "only" superb in HTML5 (but it is the first time you'll find webkit2 on board in open device).

I'm sure you will find all the things we built in for those that love open source including the option to install apps from other sources than the official store.

Peter,

to pick up on my previous post, will it be possible to install a "terminal" bash like application?
only could look at the quick swipes but couldn't see an [$_] icon...

or will we need to fall back to a jailbreak like solution (SSH & all that crap)?

Utterly ridiculous.

If you want an iPhone, go and buy it.

An also-ran iPhone clone from Nokia is a giant DO NOT WANT.

As far as I can see, there is absolutely nothing in the N9 that hasn't been done by the iPhone better, cheaper and earlier.

I'm most puzzled where this lack of Flash player came from though, wasn't the N900 the first device to support full Flash? what happened to the love? <3

also - does anyone know, in the browser, what happens with swiping? i liked my boomarks coming from the side etc. .. does this still happen?

slightly baffled by people on here bigging up specific haptik feedback screen as well? did the proto's actually have this? If so, then I will wait for 2.0.. graphene coating? i liked the idea of spilling my beans on it and it cleaned itself.. oh well..

on the plus side, device is very attractive - but adobe flash, not a youtube player.. is a deal breaker for me.. full desktop experience is a must!

No dualcore : no problem this is no android
no adobe flash: no problem as long as flash videos can somehow be sent to the media player.
no 12mp: no need
no hdmi: ......
FFFFFFFFFF......

seriously, what's the point of Dolby Digital Plus, 720p playback and recording if you play them using 3.5" jack.

PS: oh btw took me 2.5 hrs to get the last post, you guys should slow down with posting

Yes, it's worth noting that if you compare to the N900 on that page, the N900 comes up as 256MB RAM with 768 ROM Memory. Perhaps it truly does have 1GB RAM?

That what I was thinking. It would make sense, more RAM = more speed in everyday, heavy multitasking use. Closing apps is also more hidden than on the N900.
