What I would like to know in addition is: - Is it still possible to use partition tools for changing the partition layout (e.g. Acronis Disk Director), or is it only possible to use the internal drive managment?  - Is it possible to use disk imaging tools like Acronis True Image? If the latter is not possible anymore I would prefer not to use this proprietary technology from Lenovo because I often use imaging tools to backup my system.

Cos I think consumers would actually like the N9. It's just harder to compete with Android and iOS because of the lack of apps. Unless you know how to root it, of course.

I actually do love the N9, both hardware and software. It's just a pity, like you said, that Meego wasn't given a chance. I suspect the decision was made before it was finished, and given Meego's previous attempts earlier, if I were him I wouldn't have expected them to do such a good job with the N9's software... It's a drastic change and improvement from the previous iterations. Like if I wasn't told officially that the N9 is actually running on Meego, I wouldn't have believed it.

I'll still visit your site for reviews and news, since I live in S'pore and all. I agree that it's not a device everyone would like or be comfortable with. I guess it's a more cerebral thing for me, since it's a truly 100% open platform (unlike Android which is still pretty open but not fully). I had big hopes for Android, being a big Linux, BSD, open source user, but with every passing year, Android seems to be becoming the Windows OS of the market. If you don't get what I'm saying, just look at the laptop/notebook scene. Many different manufacturers/oems selling you Windows systems, each with different types of oem apps/bloatware (you know, free trial of some anti-virus, Acer media center, Toshiba energy saver...etc). I was considering getting a Galaxy Nexus to replace my Nexus S, but in the end, it felt like the same thing all over again, just with a shinier interface. Apple on the other hand, are in the same position they always were in, just with more market share in the phone sector. iOS is still pretty much a closed system, even if it is a very polished one. Sad that Nokia's CEO killed Meego without giving it a fair chance (I suspect a lot of money involved between parties, since he's basically a MS schill and former employee). I truly feel, for a "version 1", it's way better than what Apple or Google started with. Hopefully we'll reach a day where it'll be easy to install and alternative OS on any phone, cos that's when I see the handset market truly blooming and opening up, encouraging innovation. Now I'm off to compile a new kernel for my N9. Might work, or I might brick it (factory reset FTW!!), but I'll have a ton of fun doing it. Yeah, I'm geeky like that. Cheers.  Heh, don’t worry.

I'm not smart enough to do what you're doing with it, but if I was good at messin around with Linux i'd get it and do epic things with it! The average guy on the street won't even know what Linux is let alone Apt-get. But that's a great tip though! Didn't know it was so easily rootable.
