Mark, 27 Jun 2011Your mistake is that for the N9, the OS is irrelevant. It r... moreHow many of the general public because this is who phone makers are banking on know about Qt?
The reason why the iphone works is you get box take phone out of box connect to computer and if you cant do that the Apple store will do it for you and you have itunes and the App store at your fingers simply even idiots could understand it. Same with Google even easier just sign or make up an accountant and you gain access to the Android market
Most people who get this phone will go to the Ovi store and will be greeted with what is it 168 Qt means nothing to them.

Bailey, 27 Jun 2011I love how people keep calling Elop a Troll. Nokia is a bus... moreIts better to have 10 good apps than 20,000 waste of space apps..Plus how are folk going to try all these apps in their lifetime..
Resolution sucks? That is pure childishness what do you do for a job build microscopes?
No micro-sd slot...Yes but at least it shows up as a USB hard drive which blows the hell out of water your silly fruit fone.
F2.2 is pretty damn special ..
Nokia will provide updates for this but only te parts for which it is responsible for and LICENCED..
This along with Nokia N8 and SGS 2 has created the biggest stir of excitement on gsmarena ive ever seen ..These products have created huge interest.

Wake up people. CEO of Nokia himself this will be the last Meego device. Why would you want to buy a dead product? Yes there's Qt apps or whatever you call it, but they will also die soon after Meego's and Symbian's death. Move along.

I love how people keep calling Elop a Troll. Nokia is a businees i know that does not mean anything here. Elop dose not make decisions on his own they have to be agreed with a board.
After million upon millions spent on Meego as lovely as the N9 is one has ask the question is this it. their is no mind share on this device and their is no eco system really big enough for this device at the moment geeks and arm chair fans dont count. The app store will have about 168 apps.
Although people keep saying apps are not the only thing that a phone should have with general public it is a major selling point and 168 dont cut it. waiting for developers that might and might not jump on this OS is a risky place to put your money for maybe a 2 year contract. and yes it will be able to use android apps but people just want to take it out of the box and use it not fiddle around.
At the end of the day all mobile companies want to make money and not just spend it. i dont know if WP7 will be a hit and i havent bought a Nokia handset for years. But even if you dont like WP7 it has a growing app market ok not as big as Android and iOS but between 20,000 - 25,000 and counting also developers to go with it.
Its easier to sell than the N9 can you imagine trying to sell this to the general public in the phone store. "We have this great phone at the moment running MeeGo, what? oh it this new operating system thats been out for years but nobody knew about it, ok. Does it have any apps you know like Apple and the one with the green robot thingy um well its got face book and 168 others is growing at the moment. oh that ok i think i will look at some android handsets and maybe the iphone"
yea hate me all you like all phone companies and especially Google if you look into the practices just care about the bottom line money and more money. This phone has made think that i will have a serious look at WP7 when it comes out and maybe that was the point.
If the N9 becomes this big massive success i will be happy to eat my hat and put my money down and buy one.

Paul Troy, 27 Jun 2011Screen Comparisons..nothing wrong with resolution..
http:/... moreI'm happy that somehow the screen superiority seems to have shifted from Samsung to Nokia. I hope they can keep this up.
Samsung is still keeping Super AMOLEDs to themselves I think, but at least Nokia can work to make just normal AMOLEDs pretty much better than SAMOLEDs :D

rmt, 27 Jun 2011no micro sd slot?????/////////////No, but I'm not sure what you need it for anyways?
I've never really used those. It's pretty much easier to just plug in the USB or use bluetooth. Hell, at this day and age with fast mobile connections, you might as well just upload the stuff online from your cellphone :D
While the lack of it is one option less, on the bright side it means for more sturdy build with less things that can break. Making it internal also conserves a lot of space for other hardware. Much like the unremovable (by "normal" means) battery.
