The OS doesn't look well optimized based on the videos. And what is the white curtain that comes from the top?

In the video all seems to be rather smooth and fast. So I would say it is well optimized for the limited CPU and memory inside.
If the UI is a good fit for this form factor is a different story, and can't be judged based on the video I have seen.
The big question is how well the low-cost resistive screens functions, and if the relatively small screen is a problem for the UI interaction with this touch-only form-factor.

I've said it before, but if there ever was Linux based "Meltemi", it has surely be killed by Elop and Microsoft (and NSA) and those Ashas are with S40 based "Meltemi" = "Nokia OS".

Windows Mobile -> Windows Phone
Symbian -> Nokia OS
Nokia even think like MS now. When your platform is dying, change the name.

Stupid me hoped Nokia 311 was a slimmed Harmattan runing Meltemi. Ofcourse I was wrong....
Now it seems Nokia has relased a phone with 1Ghz and not even QT support!? Qt next billion yeah right
The future seems to be as follows:
In september Nokia will release some tablets running W8 and a WP phone. I dont expect anything related to Qt comming from Nokia now.
All respect for the FOSS and the Maemo Coding competition and similar but in case of Nokia. Its over...
I just hope on Blackberry and KDE tablets or similar in the future.
Because Qt must STAY. Those beleive in only write apps in HTML5 are dreamers.

ARM11 core. Cortex A8 is about 2 times as fast.

Why not Symbian???
S60v5 is better than S40. Stupid decision!
Elop plans to kill Symbian... I Know...
