  1. The #SailfishOS operating system evolved from Nokia's #Maemo (used in Nokia N770, N800 and N900) and Nokia/Intel #Meego (used in Nokia N9). So, its roots reach back to the #Nokia N770 internet tablet released in 2005.

  2. [Перевод] 14 лет на вершине: как Nokia потеряла рынок телефонов

    В 2005 году Nokia продала свой миллиардный мобильный телефон – недорогой аппарат, доставшийся покупателю из Нигерии. К тому моменту компания из финского города Эспоо выпускала каждый третий сотовый телефон в мире. Но всего девять лет спустя производитель избавился от всего своего телефонного подразделения, продав его Microsoft за бесценок – если сравнивать со стоимостью на пике. Ниже – история Nokia за 14 лет, с 1998 по 2012 год, когда она была крупнейшим в мире производителем телефонов. О том, как её аппараты определяли свою эпоху, как технологии меняли представления о том, чем может быть телефон и что он умеет, и как удача в телефонном бизнесе в итоге отвернулась от компании.

  3. #Jolla Trying Again To Develop A New #SailfishOS #Linux #Smartphone
    Finnish company Jolla started out 14 years ago where Nokia left off with #MeeGo and developed Sailfish OS as a smartphone platform. Sailfish supported a number of Sony Xperia and a variety of OnePlus / Samsung / Google / Xiaomi devices and more maintained by community. Last year Jolla also announced an "AI computer" as part of the AI hardware craze. They are trying again at their own in-house smartphone.

  4. @gtronix also. ♥️ #maemo #meego #sailfishos ♥️ if they ever make a qwerty version then i wouldn't even be able to help myself.

  5. @ipg Thinking about the design lineage of the Lumia 800, I guess it makes sense: the body is basically the #Nokia #N9 - which was all screen - so put the overlay on and keep the screen the same.

  6. Geekiest nostalgia dream ever, playing with the #nokia #N9 and #N900. Damn I miss those.

    Ich denke, dass es nicht so sehr an den Händlern liegt.

    Das #Nokia #N9 mit linux-basiertem #Meego-Betriebssystem gab es damals auch bei Saturn und Mediamarkt, obwohl Nokia es offiziell gar nicht in Deutschland vertrieben hat.

    Die Probleme beginnen vorher.

  8. @coffeebean
    #SailfishOS basiert z. T. auf #Meego, dem Linux-basierten OS, das #Nokia entwickelte als sie von #Microsoft übernommen wurden, d. h. es ist kein #Android . Dennoch gibt es die Möglichkeit Android-Apps auszuführen.

    Von #Jolla , dem Hersteller aus werden da leider nicht so viele Geräte unterstützt (docs.sailfishos.org/Support/Su). Es gibt zwar community ports für sehr viel mehr (forum.sailfishos.org/t/communi), aber die sind teils unvollständig und manchmal fehlt die Android-App-Unterstützung.

  9. I really hope #google don't mess up the #chromebook experience by making it into a failed #android device. Much like the #Meego OS many years ago. Right now the overall experience, except for the number of app stores is generally very good. Fast, responsive, stable and hassle free.

  10. @danct12 #Nokia did a (soft) launch party for the #N900 at the BFI on the South Bank in London in September 2009.

    lcuk had had a prototype, so we were able to do a cool demo: youtu.be/yk27PenpAz0

    _EDIT:_ I note wryly that Nokia's blog post about this is now on the #Microsoft website: blogs.windows.com/devices/2009

  11. @iammannyj @s31bz

    In the late 90s/early 00s I used the #Handspring visors for a while (Deluxe in blue followed by Edge in silver)

    Next were the Nokia internet tablets running #maemo, including the #NokiaN950 (#meego harmattan)

    Also the Nokia communicators, including the #NokiaE90

    More recently rocking a #GPDpocket, but that's out of scope for this poll.

  12. @mhoye Don't be.

    #Meego was #Intel's successful attempt to embed-extend-extinguish on #Maemo.

    Having good #Linux #OS for #ARM is not a good business model to sell more #IA chipsets.

  13. Hmm, strange, some apps won't start anymore ? Some #certificate bullshit again ? #N950 #N9 #meego #maemo

  14. @mjg59 There was "The Story of Nokia's #Maemo & #MeeGo" by Sampsa Kurri. Original link 404s, but it's archived: web.archive.org/web/2012103009

    I also remember a series of blogs by another insider, talking of the wider context of what was going on at #Nokia. Memory (and Google) failing me though.

  15. @mjg59 IIRC, quite a few people from the #KDE community worked for Nokia in Germany back then on
    #Maemo / #MeeGo
    Maybe one of them is still around here and can provide some input here?

  16. I've been a huge #Nokia fan for many years. I still use the Nokia E72 and love the experience. And in 2010 I heard about the #MeeGo project. And I also know the whole further history of Nokia. I was a Nokia #Lumia920 user with #WindowsPhone 8.1. But a couple of years ago, I heard about #SailfishOS. And this project is very interesting for me, but all my devices are not supported. And maybe later, but I'm interested in creating of a mobile application for #Fediverse services on their platform.
