You'll have it much earlier than November.. Gah.. i hope the retail pre-orders open soon. I think i'll get myself a Finnish unit :D In the meanwhile , my E6 pre-order is ready ! That'll tide me over :D

And those worrying about battery life... easily a day. Depending on usage patterns even 2 days :)
 
According to Eldar of mobile-review.com fame, only 92000 N9's will be produced. So all those of you who want one better start working in Mcd. Hehe :-)
 
Remember that India is not a priority market for high end devices. And i send *might* , things change.

That 92k unit is just something that Eldar said , don't believe everything he says , he hadn't even seen this particular phone till about a week or two back.. He was still commenting on the old MeeGo phone which is now the N950.

Why is Nokia keeping quiet about the N9 OS? | News | TechRadar UK

And Rich Green stepping down unofficially means something:

Nokia CTO, Rich Green, steps down - All About Symbian

Rich Green, Nokia CTO, takes leave of absence for 'personal reasons' -- Engadget

Its quite clear that Elop wants to shift the complete focus on WP7.

If you are ordering, can you order for all the guys that want it here? Together? (of course you'll get your payment)

Of course he does , what do you think is more important for a NORMAL user , WP7 or MeeGo ? I'd say WP7 ... why ? Coz it has over 23,000 applications already available for it as of now. An average person does not look at the technical aspect of it , all he cares about is.. will it do Facebook , Yahoo and let me chat and play games.

MeeGo = Future Disruptions ie , an ongoing work , a niche project. Don't expect apps like whatsapp or instagram to appear on it anytime soon. < that last bit was just a personal comment , they might just be impressed enough to work on it :P >
 
IMO This may be last Meego device (as mentioned all over) and nokia indeed released a phone with this OS just because they were already working on this OS and did not want the work to go waste and just for the heck of it released it and are probably not expecting the phone to gain popularity.
 
I still believe that Nokia would continue with Meego if this device becomes a success. Maybe Elop doesn't want that but other Nokia employees indeed would.

I'm the one to bring the bad news now.

Will the Nokia N9 end up in more than 23 countries? - Phone Arena

On the Nokia N9 web site is a page that shows you the availability of the phone in various countries. 23 countries are listed, but conspicuous by its absence are some places that you would consider an N9 launch to be a no-brainer like the U.S., the U.K. and India.

India was a latecomer in receiving the Nokia N900 months after other countries did, so it is possible that the country will eventually get the handset.

^^ may be that would explain why they didn't go for a high end hardware spec...

there isn't any point of high end hardware if it isn't optimized and tapped to it's full extent.

Take X360 as the biggest example
 
The iPhone 4 is single core , WP7 runs beautifully well on single core. You've seen how well this performs.

What do YOU do which requires dual core ?

1080p video. ? Pointless on a cellphone

Gaming ? You won't get too many of those on this anyway :P

Anyone who has used the N900 , has seen the kind of tight integration telepathy provided for communications along with a desktop class browser.

That's what you'll get here. Great integration with services , a fantastic communications platform , desktop level browser and multimedia aspects. If you're looking for loads of games, this is not it.
