Let's hope so... But, it there is, I doubt the developer version is available for Malaysian market.
True, the keyboard is the biggest turn-off.
Though specs is kind of important as you need at least more than recommended specs or a good spec for proper heavy multi-tasking; As with the N900, I think we all know the experience and feeling. Nonetheless, it's still a good device and there no a device that's comparable; If there is, then it'll be different story.

Another thing I hope is it'll be able to render/play HD videos or even Full HD, but looking at the specs, probably just HD.  As with the N900 now, we're limited, can't even play 480p. Back when it's still new, it's still ok, but nowadays, you often see higher quality/resolution as standard. Soon, it'll be even more common thing.

Anyway, I don't think it's worth selling the N900; Just whether how long it can last OR keep up with the demand as nowadays, there're so many things available and there isn't much new things or support for those new things on the N900. We're far behind, but when N900 was first launch, we're far in front.

N9 announced....
I thing I just notice... no homescreen/Desktop???

Why does it feel more like the fruit?
One UI is all icons and it's in 1 page, imagine if you install tons of appplications....
No adobe Flash support.

The problem is, we don't know when it will launch. By the time it was launch (if year end), reach Malaysia will be Feb/March 2012? Or later? That time, I think it's far behind. We might have other "actual" MeeGo devices on the market, while this is actually Maemo6/Harmattan. But the RAM of 1GB is good.
But, as you said, and I have to agree with you, Nokia knows how to design phone better than other; I do find Nokia has more better design phones than other.

Just disappointed that, we don't get a proper and "good" N900 replacement; This one honestly, I feel like a refined and better N8 with better OS; It's more like to replace "Symbian" than replace "Maemo".

This may not replace N900, but definitely can replace other Symbian devices 
Looking forward WP7 phone from Nokia; Hope they come out with a good design qwerty device, it doesn't have to have the best specs (as usual, qwerty devices seems/tends to have lower specs?)
