Let's see now... N900, Android: depreciated... N9, MeeGo: last one, and the OS sold off... ???, Windows Phone: brilliant future??? Oh yeah! I remember now... "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" |

Oiy,... Coulda been a contender. I might even have considered getting one if it had a front facing camera,... but no... I think I'll just snap up some N900's when the price drops, and pray for HPs WebOS to be a viable contender for a full Linux OS phone when THEY die. |

The sad part is - MeeGo looked like it could be so great and this does look like a decent device. I'm just hoping Samsung gives us something of decent quality before I die. They've been paying FOSS developers for some time without anything to show for it. ~Jeff |

No I dont think so. There are already some manufacturer keen on Meego netbook and tablet. So a good chance they'll be Meego phone if they see the sales is good. The price is should be enticing. Hope I'm right. The N900 still has undisputable #1 status for me till another phone comes with a full blown Firefox browser. But even if a WindowsPhone7 is going to have it I'll never buy it. |

If I could put Meego on my Android Tablet (Wits A81h), I would. It's the closest thing to Maemo you can (easily) get your hands on. Plus there are possibilities of running Android Apps sand-boxed under it (not fully materialised yet, though). It's architecture isn't too far off from the N900 (missing cameras & a Mic, or even the IR port). The N9, without a front camera is a non-starter, even with other impressive specs. It's an Edsel. |

I couldn't care less about Nokia since they ruined the N800/N810. I loved my N800 and couldn't wait until the N900 came out. Then it came out and I was soooo disappointed. *SIGH* |

OK, there apparently IS a front camera,... I'm still not a fan, though,... but this eliminates a total rule-out for me. http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/21/video-diving-into-... |
