Nokia if you are listening for god's sake do something.
I had a thought last night, would it be possible that the "rover" will be an N97 with maemo? They are being released in the same time frame?
Maybe a symbian and a maemo version of the same phone?
Not sure I like that or not, but it would make things interesting.

At least maemo has a public, open bugzilla and bugs sometimes even get fixed.

And the scrolling issue I put up in bugs.maemo - "Fixed in Fremantle", but not my current device.

The only problem I see with Nokia being so late is that the hardware will be outdated by the time the phone is out. I am already starting to consider it outdated by now.
Note that having outdated hardware means nothing to me (happy with the n810), having to pay $400+ for it does.
Right now I would only pay more than $500 for a 1 Ghz OMAP3/OMAP4 device with _decent_ battery life. Before the end of the year that'll be $400.
I personally see neither the iPhone nor the Palm Pre as "interesting" competitors in any way. It's not because they're phones though.

I was too harsh. It's just the feeling that while the N8x0 had a better processor than most other handhelds when it was released, it is weird that the N900 will get the plain same processor than the Palm Pre (specially when Palm has _always_ been late to the hw party).
Anyway, I absolutely despise bluetooth OBEX. Too slow. Look above, I'm using full-blown wifi speeds, 5.6mb photo in seconds.
Not a perfect method; but it's one that prior to my answer was said to not exist. There are other ways.
