Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone 252
An anonymous reader writes with news that Nokia has unveiled its first MeeGo-powered smartphone, the N9. "[T]he smartphone doesn't have any buttons on the front, with only the volume controls and a lock button located on the right side of the device. ... The performance of the prototype device felt very snappy, and it looks almost ready for retail. As a MeeGo device, the N9 will be running apps based on the Qt platform." The Washington Post calls it "the platform that could have been," referring to Nokia's decision to make the transition to Windows Phone for future devices. Others are impressed with the device, but see it as either a dead end or just another distraction to Nokia's long-term plans.

Alas, it is stillborn, killed in the womb by corporate arrogance and indifference. Now, no one cares, not even me.
Don't worry, we'll still mod you up every time you bring up how great the Nokia phones are even though nobody asked.

Yes, but will anyone mod you up for so astutely exposing the shameful, self-serving ulterior motive behind the previous poster's message?
That's why you posted, right? ;^) Heaven knows it's why I'm posting now... I've just got to have more of that that sweet, sweet karma....
