not really an answer, of course (who knows?), rather spilling out thoughts about a couple things, let's say N900 centred.

the N9 may well be the official entrance of NOKIA in the smart phone arena even though one may consider the MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices, thus the Maemo devices 770, N800, N810 and N900) as smart phone pioneers.

why isn't NOKIA the absolute leader for smart phones if they had such a head start? maybe because prior to the N900, MIDs hadn't the "phone" feature, no SIM?
will there ever be another MID? probably not.
will there ever be another MeeGo (smart) phone from NOKIA?
according to Jo Harlow, Executive Vice President, Smart Devices the N9 is an early-adopter tech geek device. this doesn't sound like roaring sales expectations, now, does it?
furthermore drivers for new ("disruptive") technologies would have to be shared with m$ which would hamper development and introduction of such features on the wp platform.

thus, yes, we will probably see NOKIA MeeGo devices in the future.
it would be unrealistic to expect a new "disruptive" technology every few months, thus such devices will be few.
considering that wmobile devices have already been flashed with android and depending on the hardware choices for wp, it might be possible to flash them with MeeGo, no?

then again, NOKIA isn't the 1st (mobile phone) company to enter an "exclusive" agreement with m$; LG did the same tow years ago @ the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and were (are!) supposed to have up to 50 m$ devices in 2012.
only a few months ago, LG jumped onto the MeeGo bandwagon
