A few selections from your contributions to this thread in the last 5 days:

That's right folks they wont sell phones. They want to build phones. But not sell them. Why do you think they closed down nokia store...

You will regret it as soon as you see the menu

If that is the case for the n9 its really lame...

This is most boring waiting thread i ever been in...boring.

Well that is good news, he is a Product manager. Lets hope its true.

Will he be there for YEARS to make sure of that claim though?

I have been here so long so I have heard all the chuck Norris jokes twice an still loves them. But I guess I can hear them one last time before I leave. Nokia is dead. Keyboard phones are dead, N9 is soon to be dead.

I have to create at least 24 goodbye threads before I go...

The n900 still going strong though

as they saying for "years" even it is just 2 yrs.. it is already reasonable to own this phone since I get new phone every 2-3 yrs.. some folks does it every year.. since it is already running smoothly based on hands-on videos from youtube.. i think the "several updates" would be enough.. hope they'll keep their words tho..

Does it sell even worse than maemo based handset(s)?

You can run a marketing campaign blitz to push the N9 onto the masses, but I don't think it would 'cling' onto the plebs like the iPhone did, cause:

- It doesn't have the swanky 'Apple' brand/image/logo for them to treat it as a jewelry/status symbol/religious icon.
- It doesn't have a big content store like the iTunes store to populate their devices with constant stream of nonsense.
- It doesn't have as smooth/native hardware ecosystem like Apple does. The iPhone connects and automatically sync craps across and with other devices already in Apple's universe (the desktops, notebooks, other ipods, ipads, and the iwhatnots).

- It's not as well supported by the '3rd parties':

Do you know that the iPhone can connect to special Nike shoes and heart rate monitors to autolog your trainings, log them online and provide with customized and interactive exercises?

Do you know that it can also be used as wireless viewfinder for the Contour series of very portable HD cams?

Do you know that it can be used as a bloodpressure monitor and weight log/grapher with Withings devices?

etc.

Different priorities, different interests; all of which are required to sustain real products.

The 'real' product universe runs on money. You can't just throw time, interest and effort like the codes on FOSSworld.

Ever tried DLNA when your phone is on one public accessible network and the device you need is on the locked down corporate one?

Yeah. Been there. Done that.

The idea that the lack of HDMI is a moot point only is so when/if you've accepted the fact that most other companies and other offerings, N8 inclusive, have it whereas the newer N9 does not.

Yet another bad decision, imho.
