That is a well known contentious point. I don't want to discuss it, just mention that there will at least be a hackable way of solving this issue for those who really care about it.

Utopia situation obviously would be never having to close anything, which is actually true for WP7 and co (due to suspension). N9 is already close with real multitasking, so that's something.

Maybe the same way the N900 does.

Tablets will come, but it will be Intel and Windows 8 - if they still are fashionable by then. Besides, I don't really see the huge difference between the N800 and the N9 in terms of form factor and use cases. A tablet is for browsing, and so is the N9, but the N9 is also a phone.

On a side note, I actually got infraction points for being mean to BadaPrada and Danramos in this very thread LOL

Screw you, Negatron Dan. Hope your Galaxy Tab suffers from electronic bulimia or something.

Sure it looks like a nice device.. just like the Sony Xperia Arc or any of the HTC's running Android..

I'm disappointed by the specs, features and limitations of the phone.

I guess Nokia decided "if we can't beat them, join them"

The N9 brings nothing new whatsoever
That! Right there!

This is EXACTLY what I have been honing in on and repeatedly pointing out--there is nothing compelling and different about this device that would make anyone, casual phone user or geek alike, want to move to an N9 from anything else. The Maemo/MeeGo people didn't want this. The iPhone/Android people won't abandon their platform for this. What's compelling enough to make anyone want to buy this? I keep asking, "What do you like this about this handset?" but none of the answers so far make me feel that this is an incredible device I must have over anything else out there.

I think you are missing the point. The device is clearly a child of N900, and is meant to sell and be for the masses. That is what the whole point of N9 is! It is supposed to attract the masses to what we love about N900, now harnessed under the hood of N9. Let me repeat, IT IS SUPPOSED TO ATTRACT MASSES TO THE USER EXPERIENCE THAT WE LOVE IN N900. (masses want monoblock device, not hwkb device).

You seem to confuse answers which make you feel "that this is an incredible device" with what everyone else thinks.

The reaction I've seen does not suggest "the Maemo/MeeGo people" nor the "iPhone/Android" "don't want this". We get that you don't, but then lots of people here said that about the N810 ("the stylus is too small," "the speakers don't face forwrd," "the styling's not as good") and the N900 ("the keyboard is too small," "no directional pad," "the screen is too small," "the interface is too different," "no cancel button on dialogues," "I don't want a phone") as well.
