Uuhh...Don't remind me that...

well I just hold my money from SGS 2 from this baby and now elop guy say this will be last meego from nokia....

not last

Elop intention is very clear.. clean the entire Nokia software part.. and build M$ own platform from there... M$ dowan to rely on other party like HTC/SAMSUNG etc for their Mobile OS....

there u go Nokia.. byebye Nokia....

Depends, there're many types of users; The best is to provide than not to provide with options for users to choose.

This version of MeeGo Harmattan doesn't have one, but the original MeeGo I think it have.

Sure, simplified is good; It makes it easy for anyone to pick-up and use. But it won't satisfy every user, eventually some users are going to grow out and want more; If the OS has no options or room for more features, functionalities, customization, eventually people will move away and move on, just like how some people start to move away from iOS as they progress and want more.
iOS create a mindset for people that they "only" need a simple OS and keep them inside the box or "tempurung"; As many common people/user, they will be sticking to it and not willing to explore others, which seems more complicated; Whereas, those that pickups fast and explore and want something more, will eventually can't resist and move forward.
Some people may never want/need anything more than a simple OS, just like some people can make do with a simple netbook with Windows 7 Starter Edition, while there're those that eventually found out they need something more.

Back when iPhone is still new, not much smartphone users, and they really want to pickup something that is very easy to use and so on. Now, as many people already familiar with smartphones and know what is this or that, some start to explore more, wants more, starting to move forward, plus the advancement in technologies and internet or social network. People start to look for something more advance, hoping their smartphone can do something more.

Lastly, as I mentioned before; just like a software, a very powerful software like say "Photoshop" can be very easy to use and pickup by beginner, YET, it can be extremely powerful at the hands of a advance user. So, it's not about making/limiting the OS to 1 criteria (e.g. simple), it's about making the software flexible, powerful, yet simple for anyone to pickup and use, and not forgetting CHOICES/OPTIONS.

^Later merge & renamed as Microkia?
Sounds so kiasu...

A new emergence from Sony and Ericson

dump symbian, abandoning meego n ignore qt platform...without these all things will eventually make nokia like a body without soul.
since qt platform wont be use in the wp7...so qt future can be predicted easily...

cannot pink?i love pink.

Surprisingly, i like the blue lol...

but when i tell my intention i would like to get this phone to my friend, first impression.. wHAT?? thatT dumb Phone??

Me: it's not symbian, it's meebo

friend: wtf is that?

Another thing is that why no other maker are willing to invest on meebo, i think it's a very viable OS after all

even the typical nokia hater-engadget,gizmodo etc etc very impressed to N9.lol.

it's not meebo, it's meego.... meebo is that web based IM client

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 pm Seems like the UI will be open sourced after all.
Nokia might add ability to add widget & other stuff like Maemo 5.

have a try n maybe u will get it free.lol.
Elop is cursed.even Engadget wonder y nokia allow elop to give up meego.

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.
