Nokia just announced the N9 running Meego. It has NFC and you just have to double tap to unlock the screen so you dont have to use a button to unlock. Sleek design as usual with 8MP camera and a 3.9 inch curved glass AMOLED display. Best multitasking experience with 3 home screens. What do you think of the phone?
  Would you buy this or wait for WP7?
   It really looks cool

Read the reviews of Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango)

Mango has caught up with IOS and Android now in every meaningful way, surpasses both in some.

N9 was DOA. Nokia needs to continue to move smartphones in volume to willing consumers to stay in the black. Selling a handful of meego powered phones to hardcore nerds is no way to return to profitability

Microsoft was able to roll out the mango update to most phones worldwide simultaneously without issues. Reviews show it's going to be very competitive. WP7 phones will work with Kinect, xbox and windows 8 so it's shaping up to be a very well-immersed ecosystem, albeit the newest entrant to the Smartphone Wars arena. Add that microsoft now has cross licensing deals with nearly all android manufacturers, wp7 can only get better. I'm definitely getting a Nokia wp7 phone next year.

I still haven't used a WP7 phone, but I know there are 3 things that will make me "entertain" the platform, so to speak.

1. Proper real-time multitasking (see: Symbian, Maemo or heck, even MeeGo Harmattan)
2. USB mass storage
3. Access to the filesystem on the device

#3's not even a priority if #2 is implemented.

Oh yeah, I got a 64GB N9. You can check out my short run through in my blog.

Sup, where did you buy your n9 and any idea what the price of the 16gb version is? Tanx

Computer Village. The 16GB variant should be going for about 100k or thereabouts.

All these will not keep me entertained if there are no meaningful apps for it.

Well, I'm more into app development than app consumption, so I guess not having apps really doesn't bother me that much, as long as I have the things I need to do basic stuff.

i have dumpt all nokia for SONYERICSSON arc s is an amazin fone i bought it from holland last wk 4$1075

Experia Arc for $1075? Are you kidding?

Introducing an all-screen smartphone like no other. It all comes together beautifully with the scratch-resistant glass merging perfectly into the smooth one-piece body. And there's innovation in every detail. The vivid AMOLED display brings everything to life right on the surface, plus the curved glass makes it easy to swipe the touch screen as you move between apps.

This is 16GB NOT 8GB.

Price is N85,000. Just like a give away. Hurry only one left!!! Email me with your number Jerrybenchi@yahoo.com. Brand new from the US.

No BB or iPhone can be compared to the Nokia N9. See link below for what Nokia had to say.
