So I am sure this is changing alot now when both will use mostly the same core UI == make it simpler to port between all platforms (inkl. maemo) == more developers makeing crossapps instead of reinvent the wheel..
I understand all the QT stuff. In theory, that's great. I'm just suggesting that "fully functional" may mean different things to different groups, and that what the OP thinks is "fully functional" may mean more features than what Nokia thinks is "fully functional".

For instance, there are many folks around here that (rightly or wrongly) believe mapping and navigation are different things, and that navigation implies voice navigation. Many of these people are upset that the N900 never got "fully functional" navigation (which means including voice navigation). I'm sure some of these same people would also be upset with a Symbian phone that includes free navigation (but not voice).

Or, many think a "fully functional" phone includes MMS capability. Will the next MeeGo phone be "fully functional" and include MMS? Depends on your definition of "fully functional".

Will a Nokia MeeGo based phone include some type of navigation? Sure, but will it be "fully functional"? Maybe for you, maybe for me, maybe not for the OP.
