Does anyone know how open this device is? It runs MeeGo but can I do a "sudo apt-get install bash4" like I can on my N900?

The specs look pretty good but as a flagship device from Nokia, I was hoping for an HDMI port, MicroSD card slot and FM transmitter.



and then suddenly the phone is twice as thick and has a lower battery life.

When I look at this phone I think of the famous quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupry:

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Good work Nokia for not designing a phone by committee.


I asked qgil and he's responded [1]. Basically, it's pretty open and hacker-friendly.

this what I eager to know too. I saw the WebTab came with a Terminal on main screen, but how about N9? Looks there will be no terminal or konsole be released officially becuz of the "simple and easy to use". and, let's look at if or not Qt will be stronger than Java.
