Thats precisely the reason why

And the fact that I like the white one too mcuh

Let me rephrase.

Meego is dead. new app development is dead, except for a few odd devs.

If you like the n9, why not check the new lumia 820 and 920 on that color? or perhaps HTC's offerings?

Expensive, they are. More than what I can get an N9 for

You know HD-DVD is dead but there are couple of movies exclusively on HD-DVD. It is because it is something that is hard to find. It is precious. I like having things others dont have, too.

This is different, my beef is why buy a smartphone with a dead ecosystem.

Muhammad, what about android offerings?

There are enough apps for most people on Meego, as long as you don't need region-specific stuff.

Meego is still a brilliant OS. It's fast, has one of the best interfaces there are on any mobile device, by far the best multitasking, ... If you can find them cheap they're worth it imo.

Yeah, the reviews say it's the most fluid os... BUT it's still DEAD.

Well I guess to each is own... why not SELL your phone and buy 920 :p?

you got your N9 now? i had one this year and tbh, after a while of excitement i realized that this device is completely not competitive. not regarding the performance (bad performance, really bad...) and not in its ecosystem. it looks nice, but after a while using it it looses a lot of its appeal. i sold it again for a good price. probably to someone who imagines this device to be more than it really is (like I did).

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
