    Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?

    Nifty. (if true, which is rather plausible).

    So who thinks the n900 will still go up in price and wants to stash a dozen to 'futureproof' themselves ... (At least until high-res multitouch screen is common).

    got 2 and a half now,
    looking for another one this week, now that printing from n900 works
    (bet Meego can't do that this year and bet they iCrap the battery like n8,
    and it isn't released yet because it took too long to build a kill pill for an open system,
    something Nokia wants to be able to do to your phone).

    I've been tempted to snag another for MeeGo testing, and as backup in case something happens to mine. Of course, if the "future" of mobile devices is locked down garbage, then yeah I'll be "futureproofing" myself.

    I imagine MeeGo will be able to do it in short order. It's not like it's a crippled OS that only has the Linux kernel, I imagine it'll be much the same as getting it going in Maemo.

    And show me where the iPhone has screws you can remove to swap the battery. Sure it's an annoying step, but it's nowhere near iPhone level of suck.

    Pretty awesome FUD there. I could do that with my N900 if I wanted to, and trivially. But of course, Nokia is bad for reacting to what is obviously the theft of one of their prototype devices in the only way they probably ever could.

    346 days left...and Steve jobs takes medical leave of absence from sinking ship. When he wakes up, Meego will be there and knock him out

    meego has much to do until it can knock anyone out.
    and the first on the todo list is being available at a stable point........

    I certainly hope you are right, but the only way to make sure it actually
    happens is make sure everyone is aware of how it can go wrong.
    It appears to be a work in progress, but if no one says anything
    they would drop it without finishing it.
    Virtually every single software package in Maemo lacks the print function,
    all because someone thought it was 'best practice for the product'.
    Rather than just sit meekly by wishfully hoping that Nokia
    "just does the right thing" it is better to say what needs to be said.
    They have incorporated a proper iso-8601 time locale in Meego,
    and I am quite certain that only occurred because there were
    people who actually toed the line based on what others complained about
    and called BS on the locales thing they did in the n900.
    It did not just happen:
    someone said it, someone heard it, and the idea eventually filtered
    into the place where someone could actually do something about it.

    True enough,
    but if we let ourselves get suckered into buying locked-down hardware
    then they will expand on that in the OS as well. (oh - wait...)
    The only way to say no to all of that is to simply point it out and
    walk away leaving inventory on the shelf.
    If they insist on having something like that they should at least
    clarify how the consumer (he owns it - right?) can deal with it on his own,
    without needing to take time off from work to visit the local Nokia Care.

    yeah, you could do that to your own phone and we would all have a
    good laugh over it, share codes on how to do it best or safest - sure.

    I am over-the-top on that, but only because the only way
    Nokia would ever recognize the enormity of this is to have enough people
    explaining this to them in every language and venue that they can be reached.
    Yes I know TMO is a poor place but there are people here who
    will hear about it and eventually remember it at a crucial moment to
    the people in Nokia who might actually be able to prevent this insanity.
    I am on the other side of the planet from anyone who is in any kind of
    position to bend ears at Nokia, and I am certain they are mostly listening
    to only the news and information they actually want to hear.

    Nokia was and still is justified in bricking stolen prototype(s),
    but the industrial winds are blowing in the direction of building
    this type of product-suicide into every production handset and retaining
    for the corporation the activation codes to brick units.
    How stupid this is defies words and any description is just inadequate.
    Just wait till someone gets their hands on the list of kill-codes
    for several million handphones/tablets/whatever and turns off
    an entire inventory on some Saturday night.
    It would create an instant stock-price evaporation of epic proportions.
    Although Apple doesn't get any love for coming up with this m0r0n1c idea,
    the place of honor will probably eventually go to Motorola or Samsung.
    Some disgruntled employee(s) will probably eventually go home
    from work some day with the keys to their customers daily lives
    and there will be no way to stop them from completely eradicating
    one of these firms in the space of a few hours work while the company sleeps.

    Yes 2011 should be an interesting year indeed.
    Now, back to coding - cheers !

    True. But we dont know what nokia is planning and how stable it is. They might have focus on a hybrid that knock knock at your door very soon. Or we have to wait to the end of this year. I think we know for sure after barcelona.

    There is no N9. They phone you guys are takling about is probably the E7. Since it didnt come out yet, it might come out with a polished version of symbian or meego.

    Btw, who the hell adds 'just shoot me' tag to everything? its super annoying and childish and sucidial. Why dont you shoot yourself?
