Primarily: lack of keyboard, lack of SD card slot, lack of adobe flash, outdated display/CPU/GPU specs compared to other announced top-of-the-line phones. I'm not sure about the UI that I've seen in the online previews but having not used it myself, I can't make an educated evaluation about it. But, on the surface, it looks more "smartphone" like another iphone/android/symbian kind of device, which does not interest me. I prefer more of a desktop experience like Maemo5 provides. After the leaked photos and video showing silver device with black keyboard, I had hope that we might get an "improved N900" kind of form-factor. Unfortunately it seems that device will never be sold. Too bad. It seems N9 is not targeted at niche linux geek audience, but trying to oversimplify for the general user. Maybe that's good strategy for Nokia in this case (only time will tell), but for me, personally, it's a big disappointment because I have no interest in a device like that. I'm a niche linux geek. ;) N9 has 1 GB of RAM, that's the part I'm most jealous of. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
