It was not Nokia that was headed to trouble in February. It was you, Stephen Elop, and only you, with your delusions and utterly false memo, who created unnecessary panic inside Nokia. You fired the wrong people, you destroyed the wrong platforms, you sold the wrong assets, and you set the whole of Nokia on fire.

Meego for smartphone segment losing support by Nokia is quite a huge thing putting into fact that Nokia is not going to sell off their portion of the Meego project to other players.

N9 battery not user-replacable right?
Knowing how much N900 users like to experiment with their device, if we do the same and face hang issues, we will be having a hard time to fix it.

Like on N900, we can remove the battery as a last resort when it comes to a complete standstill.

Extra info regarding N9's hardware & software

http://shootspeak.com/2011/06/24/nokia-n9-...idbits-updates/

8. N9 can play flash videos using its media player. But not within the web browse due to the lack of Adobe Flash plugin. (N9 can also play other common video formats. Even 720p MKV files out of the box)
Really arh? doh.gif doh.gif
______________________________________________________________
19. Swipe action is disabled in games if the game is programmed to disable it while playing. This can be seen starting at 2:50 into this video. So you don’t have to worry about accidently swiping the game off the screen during gameplay.

______________________________________________________________
23. Another tidbit on the camera side of the N9. Camera architecture on the N9 is OPEN. Meaning that 3rd party camera apps and RAW access is possible later on.

FCAM flex.gif flex.gif biggrin.gif
______________________________________________________________
There’s digital zoom up to four times and the camera focus range is from 10 cm to infinity.

Not as good as N900 5cm minimum focus.

High end accesories built to match with N9.
N9 is the high-end device for Nokia, for Nokia.

Nokia's Stephen Elop is still over MeeGo, even if the N9 is a hit

An awful lot has been happening in Nokialand over the past week. A few days ago, we spent our first real quality moments with the much discussed N9, and we were pretty blown away by the MeeGo smartphone. Fast forward a mere two days, and we catch wind of a pretty suspicious looking leak of "Sea Ray," the company's first Windows Phone handset where else but sitting firmly in the hand of CEO Stephen Elop. Just in case that brand of corporate subtlety didn't quite drive the point home, the executive gave an interview with Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat this week, confirming the nearly universal suspicion that it will abandon the Linux-based OS. Elop told the paper that, even if the N9 proves a massive hit, Nokia is going to turn its attention to other, more Windows Mobiley things.

Source Engadget


Can someone please get into their senses and fire Elop. He's killing Nokia slowly for Microsoft. Isn't that obvious enough?!

Nah...My programming skill isn't that skillful.
Anyway I think Nokia will choose on how useful your application is before giving away the N950.

Also I honestly hope that the N950 goes to the developers that are really willing to make decent application for MeeGo.More quality apps for MeeGo means more end users can use this device.
Anyway if you want to develop application it's perfectly possible to use N9 also.There is developers mode,root access etc2 just like N950.Only issue is N9 lacks that "sexy" physical keyboard...
Too bad it's not going to change Elop's mind.


Added on June 27, 2011, 1:57 pmhmm.gif Seems like the UI will be open sourced after all.
Nokia might add ability to add widget & other stuff like Maemo 5.
*
I was thinking if it's possible to port FCAM over? But I do not have the slightest idea on how I should do that. And I know it's the work of others but they did mentioned on porting open-source apps over. Do you have the latest Qt SDK program in your comp? I have just updated it but have not checked it out.


Added on June 27, 2011, 2:36 pmBtw, the deadline is tomorrow. doh.gif

Seems like N950 don't have access to Ovi Store.

I thought the phrase Ovi will be phase out bit by bit. Everything will be named as Nokia... eg, Nokia Maps or Nokia Store? Right?
I read somewhere. Furthermore with Alien Dalvik, we don't need to look back at Harmattan specific apps ady since there's a vast amount of Android apps out there but wonder how good is the compatibility and to what extent does it allow access to major hardware like camera, or other stuff. hmm.gif

Of course if there's Harmattan specific apps, it would be better. biggrin.gif

I can't wait.... laugh.gif

True also...Been a long time since downloaded any apps from OVI Store.I got all mine from maemo repos...
But it's always good to have access to the official app store.

Myriad haven't release the ipk - deb repackaging tool.
It's not like that.It seems like N950 will never have access to OVI Store.You have to download stuff from other repos.
*
Doesn't really matter. Seldom go to Ovi Store on N900 anyway. laugh.gif
But as you said, it's better to have it. N950 is a dev device. Nokia knows that the users can workaround without Ovi Store easily. smile.gif

Dug up more info on stock MeeGo vs MeeGo Harmattan

    * rpm vs deb (not just the format, but also the associated packaging "culture")
    * bash/coreutils vs busybox
    * sysvinit (<=1.2)/systemd(1.3+) vs upstart
    * kernel 2.6.37 vs 2.6.32
    * gcc 4.5 vs 4.4
    * ofono vs csd
    * connman vs icd2
    * aegis et al

rpm vs deb shouldn't be a big issue since you can always use community obs to produce deb or rpm package provided you have the source codes.
I kinda hoped Nokia used newer kernel.
Damn...Again with the closed source csd telephony stack...
*
Then Nitdroid need Ofono to make calls right? @.@

Do you people think this N9 can run Skype or not?

Skype is running in the bloodline of Maemo. Most probably it's already integrated into the OS. Nothing astonishing compared to iOS Twitter integration? laugh.gif

HTML5 test don't serve much purpose in term of usability.
Firefox scored 262 points in my phone.But in term of overall performance microB is still better firefox.

Yes, I did the same thing. I tested MicroB, Firefox, Chrome and Opera Mini.
All scored quite well but I must say firefox isn't performing well in real-life use. Very laggy. Opera Mini is good. Chrome is good as well. Firefox is the worst browser among all I tested above (in terms of usage experience).

Safari scored quite well as well. I tested on E5 and it scored only 60+. doh.gif
