Evertyhing on conversations.nokia.com is just PR, nothing to rely on. As we've seen last week...

Underneath all the MS and Elop hating sentiments (which is understanding), I don't see much introspective thoughts at all.

After 4+ years of maemo development and 'only' arriving at a commercially unsuccessful n900; only to be sent off to an arranged marriage with Intel. Don't you think there has been something missing all along in the roadmap and how it's been executed?

And im sure it won't happen.
I understood Nokia will release ONE Meego based phone in 2011. Elop explicitly stated they will not put any further resources into Meego phones, as they do not want a competing effort to MS WP.

By shutting down Symbian and MeeGo for phones, focusing on MS WP Elop will focus Nokia and save cost, cost, cost by letting everyone go who's not needed in the new scenario. The layoffs will be absolutely massive.

On the topic of MeeGo, the Nokia people at http://conversations.nokia.com were posting this -

we expect to deliver a MeeGo-related device later this year but that device is best defined as an ‘opportunity to learn’.
looks like another step 4 of 5

You cannot trust Nokia anymore. Another company should buy nokia's meego division. Meego is still an attractive brand/product for a newcomer in the mobile market.

Or an established mobile phone manufacturer from the east..

Hope this happens.

Well nokia has to sell it first. But I guess those working on meego feel completely ****ed right now, so nokia may as well let them go.

I better say this about Nokia cause they just got sold.

Nokia can not trust Microsoft but they did cause the board prfobadly got to much attention from the Microsoft.

Given the magnitude of the announcements on Friday, and the bluntness of them, the fact that Nokia are taking the time to state that Meego development would continue as an "experimentation" platform "exploring disruptive technologies", and that a Meego device would be launched later in 2011, is a small ray of hope, and a trip back to 770 & N800 days where the NITs were "skunkworks" R&D projects

We know previously that the next device was supposed be a maemo/meego hybrid to have the harmattan UI layer (whatever that is/was) on top of meego. and hopefully that a community port to he N900 would be made.

What we need and probably won't get until the launch is any details, and whether it can/will be backported to the N900.

If we get a new OS build and device, and the OS runs on the N900 well, and Nokia turn their Meego efforts towards experimental and innovative stuff similar to what Nokia Beta Labs has been doing (99.9% on symbian granted) then the future could actually be quite bright........
