#2Archaic hardware + archaic software with dead community = big fail. Design alone does not sell as good as it used to a few years ago.

#3The CPU and the GPU are the juice machines sitting inside pretty much every cellphone that matters nowadays and the Nokia N9 is a disappointment in both.
Parse error. Juice machines? Is this idiomatic in some other language, and directly translated? Granted, I'm not a native speaker of English, so perhaps the failure is all mine.
Also, I'm not sure which audience the site is for, the price reference of "30,000" without unit was also a bit opaque.

Archaic? The N9 is the first shipping product form Nokia with Meego a newer OS running on a qHD display with a 1ghz processor. It would do you good to read the actual article.
It may just fail because the market is already saturated with mobile platforms.

Is Meego a newer OS?

FWIW, he did say "price in India", so I'm pretty sure it's in INR.

Is Meego a newer OS?
Yes. Initial release 26 May 2010.

Isn't Meego a rejuvenation of Maemo which was dying?

"Archaic" may not be the right word for MeeGo, but "orphan" certainly is. This is going to be the only MeeGo phone Nokia makes, as they've already announced they're switching to WP7. It may be the only MeeGo phone that anybody makes, ever. Why invest in a platform that will be abandoned in less than a year?
