Well since there isn't really any hard data on the N9 yet, I'm still waiting.
In the meantime, I have been quite intrigued by the Motorola Atrix (and related netbook)... also I'd like to see what HP/Palm does with webOS devices, if they make phone that can compete with the latest and greatest smartphones, I will seriously consider it.
How can one decide now, If we know afaik more or less nothing specific about the N9? Apple stuff however is out of question. Android? I don't know, its something I have to jailbreak and the apps are usually programmed in Java. This is nothing for me.
My N900 is just a month old and I want to keep it for some years, so my next smartphone wouldn't be the N9 anyway. A new smartphone should be at least that free as the N900 too.
I couldn't really test the handset edition of meego on my slow sd card, but if it isn't crap, I will probably install it on the internal emmc with or without Nokia support.
It's hard for me to imagine downgrading to Android or iOS from Maemo or MeeGo. So I'll continue to use my N900 and wait for something else running MeeGo.
Based on the info now,
For your next mobile phone,
will you choose N9, or switch to an Android phone with Tegra 2 ?
Or switch to other phone, like iPhone 4 ?
I had used N900 for 9 months and now I want to switch to htc desire hd. I want to know your ideas.
My previous phone was a 1st-gen iPhone, which I used for about 4 years (and, other than a slowly dying battery, it still works perfectly fine). Given that the battery in the n900 can be replaced, I hope to be able to use it even longer. So, I expect my next mobile phone to be a top-of-the-line model some time around the year 2016.
Does everyone here replace their phones every single year?
Does everyone here replace their phones every single year?
I suspect a large number of people here buy things for "the shiny" and move on when bored. I'll be around a while longer until there's an actual replacement for the N900, or until the mobile space goes totally anti-user, DRM-coated and closed and my N900 breaks.
switching to desire hd is stupid imo. why? Because I think specwise you go back in the past. 2011 is dualcore year imo.
I buy the device that knocks me off my sox. Last was atrix 4g
Expecting a lot from htc, lg, samsung and iPhone.
iPhone is supported massively. Thats a plus. So IF it's got an ARM a9 a-like, 1gb ram, 64gb storage, 4" screen, fullhd record and play... why not?
