Nokia’s first MeeGo device, N9, dropped before it's even official?

10 February, 2011
The rumored Nokia N9 may never get to see public light, says Reuters based on industry sources. Nokia refuses to comment the matter so this still isn't official. The Finns are all over the headlines these days...

    I thought the argument was symbian versus ios shad not iphone versus nokia? You don't have to hack your symbian device and void your warranty.you can simply get your certificate and sign whatever you need. hacking a symbian device can take less than 3 mins if you're willing to pay for your certificate. about 3 usd

      chester, 10 Feb 2011News on CEO Stephen Elop's strategy to continue with MeeGo ... moreumm...., that was november dude, this is february, you know, after the last quarter last year. that video was released before they had their numbers. now that they do, changes are coming quick!!! for the record, I would buy a nokia again if they adopt a new O.S. N97 shattered my heart, trust, and loyalty towards nokia. that phone was the push i received to get my first iphone. god the potential, i can still see the advertisement videos now. i was so betrayed like all the other n97 buyers.

        to Grazzz, 10 Feb 2011mate, at least symbian allows u to change ringtone to any c... moreringtones,.....

        http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-use-itunes-to-create-a-ringtone-for-your-iphone/

        pwned!! no jailbreaking needed. and WTF is VIP mode? link it to me so that i can relink you how to enable it with IOS. And by the way, jailbreaking takes 2 minutes. and is reversible in 10. i've hacked my n95 8gb before and it took 3 days!!! oh..., and one more thing..., don't compare functionality to anyone who has a jailbroken iphone. they can literally do practically anything with it if they want to. it's literally endless. for instance, Android running on an iphone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yO2KQHkt4A

        not that you're going to look at it anyway lol.

          Well, MeeGo is the only reason I would even consider a Nokia these days so if they've actually killed the N9 that means no money from me.

                I think Nokia will use Windoes Phone 7, and that was probably the hidden mission for CEO Stephen Elop, the Microsoft under-cover employee placed as a Trojon on Nokia to force them to use Microsoft Windows Phone 7, not MeeGo, for their "flagships". I think this will be the definite end for Nokia as a company, and they will join Siemens as dead mobile-phone dinosaurs.

                  advice to nokia "DROP SYMBIAN AND MEEGO AN JUST LAUNCH ANDROID PHONE AND DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT WINDOWS PHONE 7".....ITS to late for meego to suceed because android has grown to become a unstopable force.....i know its hard for loyal nokia followers but if nokia dont do this they will share same faith like siemens

                          Nokia will stick with MeeGo & not adapt poor OS's like WP7 or Adroid.

                            mate, at least symbian allows u to change ringtone to any custom song u like without having to buy it once again on bloody iTunes or, if u like a 'manual labour', downloading extra software to cut it to stupid iOS length requirements etc.

                            Also, it has a quite important VIP mode, which CANNOT be done in iPhone without jailbreaking it due to weird Apple policies :D

                            Here u go, very simple, but very annoying things that iOS cannot do and Symbian can.

                              The most obvious thing symbian can do better than iOS/android/Bada/any WinMo is using the hand-held as an actual phone. It is more reliable than any OS around. Unfortunately this comes at a price - UI is quite old-fashioned - that is the fact that drives crazy everybody. And also the fact that symbian runs well on less powerful hardware. People who need reliable phone takes Nokia with symbian, other who wants a shiny toy with mega cool Apps take iOS or Android phone since they do not suffer from lack of good phone performance. As it appears customers preffer toys :-) now Nokia has to redesign their N9 to meet user expectations.

                                  Compare it with Apple iOS & Googles' Android..
                                  I am programmer for applications..
                                  Trust me.. Symbian is much more better than stupid iOS & Android..
                                  They don't have even basic things to compare with Symbian..
                                  u people r just going by the flashy thing.. but these 2 OS never stands in front of Symbian..

                                  Just one simple comparison.. Neither iOS nor Android have multiselection.. what the stupidity.. & you are comparing it with Symbian.. Symbian is far ahead.. Luv you Symbian.. Always.. YOu made my life wonderful... The people who don;t like you are not trustworthy.. they are not loyal.... One day they will turn away from thier iOS & Android for something else...

                                      its not about country blablabla
                                      europe are full of brilliant developers too
                                      it just an excuse for defending that poor OS.
                                      did you ever really put it side by side and compare it?show me please what the symbian can do and iOS/android cant do better.not just talk this is best that is bad, show it clearly.
                                      did that symbian can do walkie talkie via wifi or bluetooth?
                                      did that symbian can do RDP flawlessly?
                                      did that symbian good enough for SSH,FTP,remote access?
                                      it even fail to run NES emulator smoothly and bug free,and the fanboy tell us that poor OS can do more thing? that a big lies you spread all over the world, and now people wake up and see how ugly that OS in real.if it perfect nokia will not sinking like today, nokia suffered alot of money for symbian and still that poor OS can't compete.
                                      you only use symbian for the rest of your life and never really tried other OS and bravely claim that poor OS is better? thats not fair.
                                      im not an iphone user. but i think its too far to defend that poor OS.
                                      you want an example? HP bought palm not long ago. and today they have good pre 3 OS ready to compete head to head with iOS and android.
                                      sooooooooo IF that symbian is so capable, so wonderfull, so much strenght and power and so much easier to use, so much effiesien and have so much capability Nokia will not find it hard to make it look like pre 3. THAT THE REAL FACT behind symbian.
