LOL...

Whats up with the surprise faces and expression?

N810 was the first and last tablet. 7710 was the first and last S90 smartphone. N900 was the first and last Maemo, and now another new entry to make way, N9 the first and last Meego.

WHATS THE BIG DEAL ANYWAY??

IT'S IN THE BLOOD...

Huh? MeeGo is not only Nokia, it was collaboration between Intel & Nokia. From the beginning, there wasn't plan for only Nokia device, other brand also got plan for MeeGo device; And MeeGo OS not just plan for smartphone platform.
Go to MeeGo official website and find out more.

This N9 is using MeeGo Harmattan, which is actually a Maemo6 (codename Harmattan); As what I know, halfway during the development, Maemo and Intel's Moblin project merge and come up with MeeGo. So, the original Maemo6 project did not abandon, instead they release as MeeGo "1st instance" or Harmattan, which is NOT actual MeeGo, but MeeGo compatible or something like that; There're some differences, but as long they can make the difference not visible to the end user, then it should be OK.
Even from initial plan, after MeeGo Harmattan, the next Nokia device will be a real MeeGo device, so anyhow this MeeGo Harmattan will also be the first and last of MeeGo Harmattan.
If I'm not wrong, N770 was the first tablet running Internet Tablet OS (aka Maemo), then N800, then N810, and finally N900 (Maemo5) the last of Internet Tablet;
As for Maemo lifespan, AFAIK, the Maemo 6 was in development then MeeGo project came into picture; Thus, the MeeGo Harmattan (which is a Maemo6 evolved or dissolved?)

As for the support, the support for the Nokia Internet Tablet is fairly well known... and each device suffers pretty much the same fate...

My bad, I did not realized there were more ancient Internet tablet from Nokia.

N900 with it's smaller screen size also considered tablet? Not smartphone?

how much this phone??

First In First Out 

There was a saying:
Send someone in, attack from the inside, bring it down, then... when the time is right, TAKE OVER. 

Seems pretty serious?

"Microsoft, which is Nokia’s primary software partner, could easily buy the company and is often mentioned as a suitor."

Elop...Epic,Legend.trojan horse so obviously.aiks...i want anssi vanjoki back.

where is vanjoki now?i email him.lol.

let him know hatred,disappointment etc etc.

whole world cursing elop.probably the "best" CEO ever.epic n legendary.

because Elop handsome.

It's not so much the updates, it's the apps. Who would develop apps for only 1 phone?

You mean we could use existing Symbian apps for N9? That would be cool..

Basically, those that were not past users of Nokia Maemo devices (N900, N810, N800, N770) might not know about the strong community of Maemo developers.

Maemo have a lot of FREE apps (and very useful and powerful apps and also widgets), ported apps from Desktop version (e.g. Chrome Browser, aMSN, MyPaint, so much more), there is also WarCraftII and StarCraftII run with stratagus engine, and so much more; Something you don't find in your common smartphones; And don't need to be surprise if you do, because all these were very old news since N900 or even before N900.
The community/developers which support the Maemo OS is amazing, more so being that the OS has no support from Nokia, unfinished, unstable, buggy OS, many features still not yet implemented, etc. Imagine how hard these developers work, and they don't get $$$.

50 Developers. Now the n9 emulator is sucks! So lag. I saw from my colleague MacBook. I dun have laptop to bring to training ...well I just go for gain experiences

The instructor said.

Sorry I confused with n9 and n950 because I thought only n9 have the Anna looks in icon mode.
Actually it is n950. 

follow me?lol.
approximately end of september.

I'm terribly disappointed that I came sooo far from JB to KL, arrived in KL around 6pm, lost about 3 hours in KL, and im 2 hours + late and finally got to know that there isn't N9 to HANDS-ON

only a discussions about the N9.

My suggestion to Nokia, just follow the hardware trend la, now everything dual core quad core. Focus on the smoothness of MeeGo, swipe2, multitasking, browsing, social networking. And don't abandon MeeGo for god sake . N9 got highest daily hit so far in GSMArena, it got the world attentions. Means people are anticipating the phone and the OS. 

Saddening but true. Its hard to go back to Meego after this. Especially when lots of the employees responsible for it being  booted out from the company. Haih.

Nokia do reassures us yesterday that N9 will be supported for years to come. But for how long? Its still left unanswered. (or using their terms, they could not quantify it)

Details of the event? Its mostly more on the E6 and the X7, plus Symbian Anna as a whole. Not to mention, some brainstorming on N9 marketing in Malaysia.

Sent from my Nokia E6-00

Let's just say the hardware already fix, nothing can be done, although we all hope it can get better hardware. True that as long as the OS well optimized, smooth, can handle multi-tasking well, etc. The hardware isn't important.... but something that is also important; Nowadays, it's about HD and Full HD capability, the N9 would most probably have trouble playing Full HD, by the time it's launch, especially next year, the requirements from people will go even higher due to the standards is changing and moving forward everyday, thus it is crucial not to delay too long. This device, I believe was suppose to launch early this year (if not last year), but there was lots of delay.
Look at the N900, it was delayed, even though it's still a good device and promising OS, but due to the hardware limitation, it causes many limitation to the OS for the community to improve it. As for end user, during the day it was launch, it was still OK, but now, YouTube supports 480p, 720p,... many videos are in HD quality, websites are more complicated than ever.

One thing tough, it's good to know that the N9 is generous with 1GB RAM. That's indeed a shocking, especially from Nokia.

Just stating that hardware is still important, at least as a feedback to Nokia for future devices; They may have provide a decent or good hardware spec, but by the time they launch it, it might be outdated as technology moves too fast.

Anyway, honestly speaking, whether it's the FIRST and/or LAST MeeGo device from Nokia, it's not really important, especially nowadays... How many people actually use the phone for like maybe 2 or 3 years. In the coming years, probably people will change phones is shorter interval, with phones getting cheaper, technology moving faster, and also telcos offering this and that plan. People would be tempted to change their phone.

So, I think as long as this N9 and it's MeeGo OS, can fullfill the requirements of the user during it's time, it's good enough. More important, how good it is compared to others, what it can do that others can't offer during it's time. Just like N900, when it's launch, there's so many things/features that it have that NO competitor has. It was UNIQUE and people who KNOW about these stuffs, sees your device, they will be amazed and wonder WHY their phone can't do it. This is what makes people interested, want to change. It's similar like iPhone, what is can do, it attracts people who want 'smoothness', 'simplicity'.
This N9 selling point is even better I would say, it has smoothness and simplicity, yet its very powerful and flexible; Something that, probably no other mobile OS currently can offer? (but can soon catch up; so the key is to not to delay too long)
Basically, Nokia is really looking forward to market the N9 and get more people interested; One reason I was told is they need to convince that Malaysia has a lot of interested owners so they can bring in this device or maybe more volume or something like that. Remember that N900 was originally not plan to be launch in Malaysia, but due to overwhelming demands, it was finally launch here; Then again, the sale response I think wasn't that good? I think, probably due to this, they need to convince the N9 market for Malaysia? No idea, just my speculations based on N900 response; After all, if they bring many units here and it didn't sell well, then they might as well market this device in those countries that really looking forward for this device (the N9 will not be launch in several country, plus, India and HK, I think the have many enthusiast/interested people, look at the response for N900 and their amazing launching for N900)
