It's not even comming out where I live and I would need to spend 900$ for an phone with an aged hardware without qwerty, that will probably lose it's support in a short period of time. NO THANKS!
I will wait for the next open source qwerty phone,
but until then I will just keep my lovely N900.
Edit: And why would I need a n9/n950 if I can just overclock my n900
to 1ghz? Is nokia this dumb?

i agree with most of what u sair exept the last part, yu can have a 1.5 ghz n900 but the swype ui will always do things faster .....
u know what **** it i wanna stylish device with a stylish os and decent hardware just decent yeah i know the e66 fits here, but screw it i'm going for the desire s
Already have one, the swipe UI is great, highly recommended.
Picked up a Magic Cube laser bluetooth HID compliant keyboard.
Unfortunately the N9 doesn't support bluetooth keyboards:
HID has not been disabled by default in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
The hid and hidp modules are present, but cannot be loaded manually, developer mode provides terminal access, but permission is restricted, there is no root account access, so you can't manually load modules etc, or have them loaded at boot time by editing /etc/modules
Also owning the N900, as much as I like the N9, it's more a users phone than a developers phone.
Still this thing would be damn cool with a pico projector and laser keyboard, if it worked.
The on screen keyboard lacks the navigation arrow buttons, which is a bit frustrating.
I hope the Mer project can carry on with the Swipe UI and make some cool releases. Maybe Nokia will make the new Window's phones flashable as well so we can install our favourite Maemo based releases on those phones too.
Absolutely. As soon as I can find a sane and reliable method of getting a 64GB to me in Toronto (no thanks whatsoever to Nokia, I am sad to say), I will do exactly that.
Why wouldn't I? Based on everything I have read and seen, I consider that the N9 closest thing to the phone I actually want that will exist during the foreseeable future.
