so it will be like the N900 release all over again, with delay after delay after delay?

Fake for sure imho.

Fake in terms that it in not real N9 on photos. They used N8 as a placeholder but IMO HW keyboard rings the truth.

This is the true N9:

if the leaked photo is near enough the real thing then i must say it looks nice and thin is what we need. Yeah I like the look of the n900 but it is heavy n chunky and as someone else mentioned on a thread here they hate carrying it about in cases an like a purse! lol i knw how they feel.
But lets hope nokia get it right this time. And I agree with folk on the release thing, it will prob be n900 all over again, delay after delay so I wouldn't hold my breath. It will just be folk speculating and giving false dates, it may very well end up getting released 1st quarter of 2011! I wish it does come out this year tho but thats me dreaming, knowing what nokia are like!

Well the space bar is in its best position I think. I wonder how heavy it will be? 160ish grams would be good.

Is there really that much wasted bezel space around the screen? Or is it just a small video showing? Looks like the TG01 bezel that was too much.

Is that a D-pad on the left hand side? I sure hope they have some more colour schemes.

Really needs something like the A9 to give it shelf life for a year as a mobile computer.

But its nice otherwise (assuming a min 4" screen).

Nokia should think to release the N900 in this design.

Alberto Torres confirmed that first MeeGo device will be a Nseries so if this is a real advert i think we are looking at a MeeGo device unless its gonna be the N9-01 but i pretty much doubt that they will have a symian and MeeGo N9-XX
I'm going to bother some contacts i have in nokia try and get some info not sure if i can share it though

agreed! 160g sounds much better than the half kilo n900! lol even less than 160g would be great.
Keyboard not too fussed about the layout as you get used to it eventually but a bit more room would be nice and def a better build quality all round for the usb charging port and the device as a whole itself.
Better kick stand, why not give us 2 this time? I feel like 1 flimsy plastic thing holding it is unstable and it doesnt rest easy all the time in places. They should maybe even not use plastic for the stand and give it something better more stable n firm.
Processor should be better, why not A10? (that is if there is1 or whichever goes higher up after A9)
If they gonna do it then they might as well do it in a way so they p*ss on apple and htc properly, like a full on golden shower :-)

I think it would be great myself! Both open source platforms. With one an expert in the mobile platform already.

Would give it a real jump to the platform form the start. Normal phone users wont complain and demanding users will be happy too.

You will see less users directing curious people (most of the population) to get normal phones.
