True, too nice to be real. Many reviewers at the time might even not have noticed as their mobile usage profile was not advanced enough yet.

Maemo had the best user interface for people who want to get stuff done. It was only step 4 of 5 as per announcement of the then still arrogant Nokia.

Nokia and Skype had announced during the 2009 Mobile congress in Barcelona a cooperation to integrate Skype in future Nokia's.

Skype could have become the future of telephony through integration with Nokia's Maemo 6 and Televisions.

But Microsoft got notice of that and commercial intrests of an oversees company won over practical usability.
