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).

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
