Because it looks great?

If the front of the N9 will have same texture as my macbooks aluminium it will look amazing IMO.
I don't really get the argument of it looking same as N8 and so making it cheap. If the all aluminium N9 is cheap looking what's Samsungs flagship that's all plastic and costs +500 euros?

I'll throw some more of Eldar rumours here. He is saying that the price would be 450 euros(before taxes) and like already said there will also be all black version that will be the more marketed color for N9.

I so hope Nokia doesn't dissapoint on the specs and UI. I'm liking what i see so far.

maybe too because most of nokia devices users this last years like much more this form factor if you look the last flagships N97, N97mini, N900, and others they used instead an iphone or else, so nokia thought to do another good one keyboard phone for them for the first meego one, and perhaps the second one will be without keyboard for a more large public imo... (sorry for my english^^)

Totally agree... Unless the specs are completely ridiculous this will be my next mobile computer...

Ooo the keyboard looks interesting. I much prefer typing on my E71 due to the bubble keys, whilst taking notes on the N900 means I'm looking at the KB rather then what I should be looking it.

I ofc much prefer reading notes on my N900, but I have to be so careful about sanitising what I put on it, I end up just keeping my notes on my old faithful.

Others have mentioned that the USB port looks much more secure, but I hope that they put the 2mm charging port back in.

Looks interesting, but unless it has full device encryption via hardware then I'll be sticking with my N900!

Symbian 4 is pretty far off, sometime 2011 it is coming.

I think the hardware is amazing, and if all the top end is Aluminium casing its awesome.

I dont have seen an official statement that leaked phone is n9
I dont have seen official statement that leaked phone even will be released.

Nokia has officially confirmed that it is, indeed, switching its high-end Nseries devices to the MeeGo operating system once the Nokia N8 is out of the way.

You are right that it's all rumours but fact is that Nokia is releasing one MeeGo phone in 2H 2010 and everything seems to be pointing to this leaked N9.

I wish they had just added a plain (no function key required) number row on top of the N900 keyboard...

Why do phone-tablet manufacturers think we don't need to type in numbers?

It's a compromise between space and usability I guess...

My internets beg to differ:
Reuters

Yes, all n-series will use meego.
