Nokia N9 pre-orders through the roof, 64GB batch all reserved - read the full textNokia's Flagship Store in Helsinki, Finland has started taking pre-orders for the MeeGo-based Nokia N9. It’s been just three days, but all available pre-orders for the 64GB N9 version are already reserved. The N9 will be available in 16 and 64GB versions, so the 16GB unit is the only option...

MeeGo had true potential. It could've lifted Nokia out of the mess it's been in. However, Elop, desperate for WP7 to succeed, and realizing a combination of MeeGo and Nokia would've worked AGAINST the success of WP7, decided to ditch the OS all together. Good move, maybe, for Microsoft, but a bad move for Nokia.

LMFAO.... Does it really??

Apart from the browser (which I admit is probably better at running Flash heavy content}, the only spanking GS2 owners will do is confined to a toilet.

N9 also have RADIO TRANSMITTER OR Radio Play as >Nokia changed the name to. You can connect the N9 to tour car stereo and play stuff from trour N9 as you can from C7 and N8 and 701, 700, 600

God i hate S.Elop!. Maybe apple or google hired him to sabotage nokia and kill its market share so that they can get it all. How on earth could someone in need like nokia give away a gem like Meego!

I heard that arguement so many times from Android fans. This Android phone got better CPU, this Android phone got a 3D screen, this Android phone is better than this Nokia device. Well, guess what? Specs alone don't make a phone good. It's mostly the software that counts and this MeeGo N9 is a champ when it comes to OS and its hardware isn't last year's.

I also hope Nokia will give a proper support for the MeeGo but I also strongly doubt that it will, with all the attention and focus Nokia is giving to Windows phones which in turn will take Nokia down and will be the end of Nokia.

Way... Way Overpriced!

Last year's hardware at this year's TOP end price.

I mean, it's more expensive than Galaxy S II and S2 spanks N9 silly in every single department, except amount of flash RAM built-in.
