I said N9 would be given up. Because Meego may not be given up but N9 without the proper support will not be that much a success too. N900 no matter how much the community serves it, it just isn't that much a success. Because there's a lack of official support. We need official support. And Intel is also on the edge of indecisiveness as to whether to give up on Meego.

No official support from Nokia (due to the depraved Elop having sold his body and soul to WP7) is not a killing blow. Look at the N900. It also has no support from Nokia but has survived for 2 years with strong community support and apps still coming out. I expect the same thing for N9. There are already more than 200 apps for N9 even before it started shipping.

Nokia not wanting to build any more Meego phones is not a problem at all. Users seldom look beyond their current phone. I expect other manufacturers to step in to fill the market if interest is strong.

Hi,

I'm writing on behalf of MeeGo Network Malaysia, we would have a meetup with the member of our community on:

Thanks

what nokia should add to the meego's collection of apps is the stuff they have already made in nokia neta labs. some of those addons are really cool and have lots of potential.

u going?Im going too.

I went to Nokia center in Vivo City today. Was told that it would be available in Singapore on the first week of October.

Frustrated to nokia marketing strategy.announce at end of june then let us keep waiting.aren't elop said they will shorten the period between date of announcement and date of release to market?in 2 months time?i had very bad experience with N8(announced at april released at october) now N9 again.

do nokia delayed the announcement???

hope this doesnt happen again. been eyeing the n9 for some time. and would be coming back malaysia for holidays for 1 month now. hopefully gets released before mid october.

I believe he is Wesley Chong, one of the main person for the meet up.

Nokia N9 16GB – RM1,799
Nokia N9 64GB – RM2,088

let's see how the telco package gonna be...

Sharp pricing! The N9 16GB can be compared directly with 16GB Galaxy S2 at RM2099 but lack of micro-SD card make it less attractive. The N9 64GB is certainly a better buy than the N9 16GB as the value of the extra 48GB memory exceed the price difference.

Wait a couple of months there should be some discount from the list price. I hope N9 apps grow robustly. This is the only impediment to its success.

But if U compare spec wise( single processor and 4 inch amoled screen), i think they should price it 1599 which is the price of galaxy S+.

Any chance of me getting N9 for review/test or for free?

sos

The N9 16GB exceeds the Galaxy S+ in hardware. It has a much better camera, superior audio playback and NFC. 16GB built-in memory and 1GB RAM compared to 8GB memory and 512MB RAM for S+. N9 also comes with free maps and voice navigation which must be worth something. It also has an FM transmitter but no software yet.

But right now the N9 will only appeal to those who do not need a lot of apps or are willing to take the chance that apps will grow. If only the Alien Dalvik thing is real...we'll be queuing up to buy it.

Woohoo nice launch.. time to say goodbye to my SGS2 and hi to N9 next month!
