Eh, maybe Nokia should just face the truth, drop Symbian and start using Android for its devices, make a nice Symbian-like UI for it and spare its resources for MeeGo development for high-end devices.
Instead it looks like MeeGo will be another Maemo unifinished and Symbian will slowly die :-/

The N8 is not the highest-end product we're aiming for. MeeGo will definitely come above the Symbian range in terms of functionality and price. If you look at the Symbian products, they are priced at the lower-end of the high tier in most markets, below the iPhone and competing with the Android devices.
Absolutely. If you think about the platform choices, we have Series 40 to drive costs down in feature phones. Then we have Symbian, which is our predominant platform for smartphones, becoming more and more affordable. So we are also driving costs down for this very aggressively. That leaves us with the need to have one more platform where we worry less about the cost and more about putting in functionalities at the very high end, with slightly less consideration for the final price.
Then we have the development environment on top of it, so Qt is a very important developer toolset we have that runs on both Symbian and MeeGo. This is where we broaden the base for the developer in terms of volume
