What does the N9 offer above the N900 - maemo.org

JB101 | # 1 | 2011-06-23, 12:21 | Report

Reading through all the various threads & posts,

I'm yet to find a compelling reason to move from my N900 to the N9?
It just doesn't seem to offer anything new or better in my opinion.

Yes it has a better screen res, more built in storage and a marginally better camera.
............ but lacks a hw keyboard, fm radio, replaceable battery

I just can't see how it's worth getting one when you already have an N900?

Or have I missed something here?
Not saying it's better or worse, just don't see how it offers me anything to get excited about.

I'll keep my N900 for the keybard and the I.R. transmitter!

For me, if Nokia do a N950, i'll earn a N950.

I the N9 is the last MeeGo's Nokia phone, I'll earn a N9 but keep my N900 again: my N900 to use it at home, the N9 to use it away...

I have and love my N900 but will be getting an N9 because…

bigger and better screen
better camera (8MP)
free maps & navigation
faster processer
more Ram (1024mb)
more Memory (64gb)
bigger battery

IMHO a sleeker and modern design…

- The N900 can be overclocked to 1GHz so I hope N9 can do more!
And the N9 have only one processor.
- For the internal memory, i'm OK, but the N9 will have a Micro SD slot?
- For the battery, OK, but you can't change the battery (so, if your N9 bug or if you would change your N9 battery...)
- For RAM, OK, very good!

For me, the N900 have that in more:
- Keyboard :-).
- IR transmitter.
- F.M. transmitter.

Got to agree with all that however surely the big one is the meego os and I assume access to more apps/games?

If the meego CE os ever gets a viable os then there seems no compeling reason to buy a N9 as having no Flash support is disappointing.

As matters stand a SGS2 seems a better long term purchase, should I ever get bored with my N900.
