Seems like very limited market for N9.
Malaysia in included for now.

There is FM transmitter/receiver in N9 but no app for it.
Again sort of N900's issue when it was launched.Should be solved when someone release third party app.

Aha...
Seems like Motorola is playing like Samsung.
They are going to adopt another platform for their mid tier devices.
Also linux based.

Everyone seems want to have at least 1 in house OS except for Nokia.

Then you need to publish at least 1 QT based application.Only then you can request the device & other shebangs that comes with it.
Won't be easy because there are very limited number of N950 & most probably Nokia will look through quality & usability of your app before giving the developer device.

I think are already some N950 loose few months ago.SINA got their N950 few months ago for development purpose.

Ada fatso blocking the road.

Fatso = Elop

Nokia's first Windows Phone: images and video, codenamed 'Sea Ray'

Again with the wall of blocks as homescreen

N9 CANNOT be running WP7.
WP7 don't support TI SOC as used in N9.You have to use Qualcom SOC.
Externally it may look like N9 but internally it must be quite difference.

Yeah.Also as I said before Elop already said that Nokia is not going to change the UI.So what you see in the leaked video is what you get as end product.
Pretty much same as other manufacturers.So what would compel people to buy Nokia's WP7 device?
Maps? Nokia's Maps is good but it's not a major reason to buy Nokia phones.

This is another weakness of WP7.Limited SOC support.
Unlike WP7,MeeGo team already done with TI & Qualcomm hardware adaptation.

Oh yeah..Very strict indeed.Damn strict till you need certified microSD card to expand memory!

You go ask Steve Baldmer regarding this

Meh...If like this I rather take the burning platform over swimming platform

Samsung making smart move nowdays.Limiting device release,cater high end & mid range,manufacture own hardware,have an OS in house,encouraging Symbian devs to develop app for Bada & contantly updating their high end device with the best hardware.

MeeGo - burning platform
WP7 - swimming platform

Well...More people have used 3310 over iPhone isn't it?
Nokia have manufactured way more phone Apple.But the late response for iPhone really hitting them hard.

Rome wasn't build in 1 day but it sure can be destroyed in 1 day.

Galaxy Ace & Wave phones are smart moves too.
Let's say one day Google made Android closed source or simply abandon it Samsung can always use their own OS.
In Nokia's case if WP7 failed what can they do? Ask Intel so Nokia can be involved in MeeGo again? Paul Otellini will fark Elop upside down for the mess Nokia already have done.

You come to N900 thread.
Single phone running 3 OS.Sometimes make my head spin answering question regarding different OS although it's used in same phone.

No idea about the N9's booting function.Need to wait till someone get hold on the device.
WinXP don't support ARM.Only Win8 (btw another crappy UI product by Microsoft) have ARM support.
Android is impossible.You forgot that N9 lacks hardware button other than camera/volume buttons?Unless Google really removed hardware button functionality like rumored that it's not possible to use Android in N9.

The highest clock speed achived by any N900 was 1.5GHz & even that was by attaching processor heatsink to cool the battery section

You mean like HTC's phones which have "phone" & few other virtual key at bottom of screen?
Even if you make like that the keys will disappears once you go to menu.How will you go back?
Unless someone manage to make the keys permanent in all screen.This will make once heck of ugly UI.

In N900's Android we are using hard press camera button for menu & soft press for back.
N900 lacks physical buttons too.

N900's VKB is crap.
