That's a different phone, the E7/N8-01 arr boss. The N9 is the Meego superphone supposedly, but yeah, post N8 Nokia's design team is moving towards angular design and now 3 phones at least look similar lol.

But IMHO the new chinese specs, speculation or rumor or whatnot is more credible IMHO. Why would Nokia move to Snapdragon when basic OMAP 3430 is good enough when clocked properly to 1GHz?

But 1280x600 reso? NOW THAT'S ludicrous.

I wouldn't be surprised if it has a Atom in it. As which , Intel is also in partnership with Maemo itself.

Rumored spec.

Well, as one of the N810 user, I beg to differ there. I believe this is very much similar to the N8x0 and N900 situation 2 years ago.

I still remember when N900 was released. Most of the users didn't want to upgrade from the N8x0 series due to some possible "downgrades" such as smaller screen, and the hardware itself is not that much of an upgrade (Although I still lol when someone compared the older ARM11 CPU on N8x0 to be only 200mhz slower than the CPU used in N900 and arguing that its not much of a change ). And also Nokia's silliness not to properly support the N8x0 series really anger many people, till they practically written off anything from Nokia in the future.

Yes, there are some effort to enhance N8x0 series such as the Mer project and Meego adaptation for N8x0 series to revitalise the line up but all just being left out and abandoned. (Really hoped the current CSSU and Diablo Turbo project continues on tho!)

But as times goes on, more and more people adapt N900 as their primary device, and lo and behold, the Maemo 5 took off and become one of the geek playground. And also practically EOL'd the N8x0 series. Sigh

Surely this time its going to be much different. The "awesome" N900 support by Nokia that leave a sour taste in every user mouth, the Elopocalypse and Meego being left in the backburner really makes N9 much harder to be appealing to the community. But I believe that over time, the hardware upgrades on the N9 (Capacitive screen, improved CPU+ RAM+ GPU, 12MPX Camera), alongside with the enhancement on the Meego Harmattan will make it more appealing, and perhaps that will drive the adoption rate of it.

Just like 2 years ago, when N900 launches

p/s: And also, as a current N810 user, I have to agree on the awful support by Nokia. We didn't have any app to use our webcam for! And don't get me started on the stunted A2DP support on it, it just like rubbing salt onto open wound

Previously maemo4 and 5 and now meego.for how many years they doing experiment?harmattan still experimental device?I don't get it.with the really stunning hardware,why don't just focus on meego for the software development and attract more developer onto this platform?come on nokia.

No definite proof that it's running Meego/Maemo 6
Time will tell how things goes...

More details on the N9, most probably from the Nokia Conference a few months back.

Pay close attention to the so called "Dali":
Interesting specs. Not OH WOW but really practical IMHO. Shame no details about the processor/RAM. If it's truly AMOLED, I'd say now we know where all the AMOLED panels went (Nokia bought them all and stocked up on them) that caused the shortage which prompted HTC to switch to SLCD.

From the Engadget leaks, I could see that the N9 mainboard looks somewhat similar to the N900's (from personal experience), so we can very well expect a 1gHz processor and above and AT LEAST 512MB RAM plus virtual memory - and everything else the N900 has. I'm hoping USB-OTG is here as well.

Dun think too much and I think hd resolution is not practical somemore graphic card will struggle due to the high resolution.

Reading the threads on TMO, my preferred keyboarded variant of N9 will be equipped with only an OMAP3 processor
Still, want to have one. The hardware is already smoking hot!

Hardware could be slightly dated & there's no physical keyboard like it's predecessors but you have to say N9 really is something.
Interesting phone design (I lolled when Marko said the polycabonate design won't disturb signal like some competition device) & innovative homescreen.
I have Nokia Malaysia will bring to Malaysia.Feel like want to try it out since it's Maemo's last hurrah.

Try it out

no HDMI out?OMG!!

i know you like i-Device design

joking.... hopefully it is better than n8 

aiks.the package there no hdmi out cable.

That looks pretty nice. The hardware isnt that bad either.

Too bad it doesnt comes with keyboard though I dont really mind it.

Btw, what browser is it using ? Is it from MicroB ?

haha.beating in term of cam again.haha

Not sure video only or both;
If video only, means it will adjust it's focus continuously (e.g, if based on focus point, it will continuously focus the subject in the focus point; If based on face detection, then it will try to focus by detecting the face; Note: It may not work perfectly)
If photo, means, you can lock focus, then as you move your camera, whatever in the focus point will get focus again. Usually use for actions shot where the subject moves and you follow it. But not sure this can be of use for mobile phone camera as it'll need good focusing speed and performance to achieve this.

Presenting Nokia N950



Nokia,can you drop me 1 of these?

Also from LYN rep in Nokia Connection : N9 might be sold @ RM2K.According to Nokia EVP.

Yea, but many already jump ship to SE; They refuse to look back already, and very hard to accept or change again. That's why it's very important not to do mistake or recover too late, people will remember it forever even tough things have change, it's hard to people to change back.

I read gsmarena, I think they wrote N91 has one of the best speaker/sound; Can't remember.
5800 another strong point is the price; Back then, it was one of the cheapest smartphones that you can get, plus it has GPS hardware, so can use Garmin.

The design looks different from N9; more like N8 or E7 with flat out qwerty.
Those who like N9 sleek design might not have same feel for this?
88 series is crazy, haha; And I think there's no smartphones for 88 series right?

It's a developers device.
Either you register for MeeGo or Nokia developers account & apply for the phone or wait till the phone appear in ebay.

LoL, shooting macro can get you narrow DOF, but on DSLR it's even much more narrow

Are you a developer? or anyone can apply?
