It wasn’t confirmed “days after the announcement” at maemo.org.
And it’s still far from 100% certain, at least in time for the launch.

Well… I think they’re doing pretty damn well…

Considering a large chunk of them were fired in Feb, & some of them left.
And no they weren’t replaced.

Check out maemo.org….
There’s some good threads there about current status of BT4.
In short, it’s still a possibility but no-one knows for sure yet.

Also jury’s still out on bt4.
Someone found BT4 certification.
which usually means it’s implemented.
Look for dedicated thread on it @maemo.org.

That’s not what a Nokia dev. at Maemo.org said.
He/she said RX (& RDS IIRC) is possible, becasue all the hardware’s there.
But RX is not, because the antenna or antenna connection’s not there.

i hate elop, doing everything he can to sabotage the n9…
n9 is officially announced/ flop leaks the sea ray.
n9 is limited in countries/flop spends 100 mill on North america advertising for MS… and this is just a theory, but i find it weird the sea ray and n9 share the same body… to the average newbie, they will not understand two different OS and probably just think its all MS… so sad…

WOW, where to start… while the sgs2 is a great phone… at the end of the day its no more then a beefed up android…. Not sure if u have ever used Maemo, or linux or my favorite n900… it run circles around android… Can u download torrents? or anything from the web thats not in the app store… can u dual boot other OS ? cause my n900 and probably n9 will load ur android and run ur “ecosystem” … last time i checked does any other phone maker on the market offer an fm transmitter, infrared port, and audio/video out…. and I’m sorry thats just my n900 still… haven’t even touched the n9… so while your sgs2 looks good on paper… a wasted dual core that android can’t fully use yet and big screen still yawns to my 3 year old n900… shouldn’t even be mention compared to the future n9… WOW android sgs2… did u read about the n9 in one of ur many useless apps?

No software support for that features? And everyone saying that MeeGo-Harmattan was ready.

That might be one of the reasons why MeeGo is not going to be Nokia’s high-end OS (the slow software development process)

Ok, please elaborate? Allowing N9 to be released is some kind of a ingenious double smoke screen play, all ultimately just aimed at prepping Nokia for MS takeover?

Damn, he is so sneaky.. but I guess the Devil always is.
