Yea, same here, but we're talking about reality, aren't we?Device like You described can be available only in one situation - when "You" (I mean, group of people/foundation/whatever, not You personally) design it, order it independently, and write things for it. See Open Pandora o Raspberry Pi (both not a phone, I know, but You understand what I'm talking about).

Webos is also is and HTML. Thus should be good developed on.

there, corrected it for you
So I'm waiting for the open-source drived Intel SoC mainly because it actually has a chance to happen in the next 6 to 12 months.

Mixed feelings. Even if the N9 is two years old by the time this Tizen is released I think I might prefer the N9. Nokia still beats everyone at build quality.
Samsung just seems to slap together the latest mobile tech and throw it in a black rectangle to create a new model. Very little testing it seems...
My next phone might just be this Samsung with Tizen, but I am hoping for other choices...

Well, you don't see anything about the phone there, just some UI pictures.

And this is how much Intel believes in Tizen.

Haha I've gotten some nice chuckles out of this speculation thread. It's been too long! :'D Thanks!
But I just wanna say: if this Sammy phone makes it to MWC you all can have my left nut. Not happening. Not even Sammy is that fast.
