I don't like the look of the Intel Meego and don't want that on my N900. Of course I will install it as soon as it is available but I hope that Nokia shows its UI that will be flashier than Maemo and Intel Meego so I can permantly install it on my N900

Meego will not be released officially for the N900...
So i think Maemo would be better choice
You're asking like we have a choice... we're doomed with maemo 5 forever, Maemo community will soon vanish and turn to MeeGo community.

I think that Nokia will not do that, this is not fair for N900 owner, I am really satisfied with this device but would not like that Nokia do that.
Probably we can install a MeeGo 1.0 but I hope also that application create for MeeGo will work on N900 because I like a Maemo 5 too much. Just want from Nokia too support N900 a little more:rolleyes:
As long we have community gods like Titan we should be safe. If it turns out that Meego don't have support for n900 i think it should be fairly easy to port it. Also the Meego are going to be supported on many devices armel and x86 so i am sure it will be alright... with that said...
I will probably stay with Maemo or equivalent like Moebian (which are being worked on right now). I am a Debian fanboy and plan to stay like that. One of the main reasons for that is that Debian got the best community support..

And where's the proof of what you're saying?
why not? meego is two in one part maemo 6 and moblin 2.2.
my answer is yes
you can switch back at anytime

MeeGo will be released officially for the N900, since the N900 is the reference ARM hardware of the MeeGo project.

After PR1.2, I think there won't be any firmware releases from Nokia in Maemo5.
It is a question of dividing resources, so they probably will consentrate fully on Meego after PR1.2. That is why it is not good to hurry with PR1.2 until all known bugs and design flaws are really fixed.

Maemo 5 users will have choices. Some of them will prefer to stay with Maemo 5 updates, some of them will prefer to jump to MeeGo updates (probably with different flavors to choose depending on your preferences).

That sounds very good (although Maemo5 is good) but will Meego come with the "default UI" or with "Nokia (Harmattan) UI (and Nokia applications)" ???
I can't really see the advantges with meego for n900(more than its funny with new stuff). Dont think meego will kick out maemo 5, at least not on my n900...New devices is another story. Just my take on this.
I'm impressed by the amount of expert analysts in this thread, giving advice about the future without any hesitation... ;)

PR1.2 was frozen weeks ago when the SDK was released and we are hurrying as much as QA test results allow. MeeGo development has nothing to do with all this.

Both. There will be MeeGo releases by the MeGo project to everybody and MeeGo releases by Nokia for Nokia devices.
Both. There will be MeeGo releases by the MeGo project to everybody and MeeGo releases by Nokia for Nokia devices.
Both for the N900?
(Just to be clear :))
That's a positive development in Meego that I always welcome - choices and support (from Nokia).
I have seen the Zaurus die due to lack of support (not lack of choices though) and I am glad Nokia is taking this path to wider acceptance of Maemo/Meego by going this dual route.
And I am glad to hear that Meego will be supported on the N900. All these contrary 'expect analysis' (read rumours and innuendos) flying left and right was getting the better of me in these forums.

Definitively Maemo 5 for N900.
The user-interface rocks. What are they ever going to improve about that? :confused:
Intel as as strategical partner is going to influence that for the better? Not so sure.
Bring new and plenty of icons on your MeeGo desktop: most likely.
We may be looking another Android with wider focus that has functionality wise nothing to add to the platform of mobile phones/ or pocket-able computers.
Of course I will check out Meego when its value has been proven and sung upon.
But right now, concerning the N900 I have a feeling that Meego is going to break what is just about to be nicely fixed.
i just hope you can somehow transfer all contacts, wallpapers and oder custom user-stuff to meego when installing it.

Nokia wont do that , there are always more bugs...they will support N900 for at least two years. MeeGo 1.0 wont be as good as Maemo , also we still need Ovi Maps to work properly
I read couple of days ago that Nokia is going to release another Maemo device in summer.

both
because the n900 is just that awesome
Harmattan/MeeGo no doubt.
To me Harmattan/MeeGo is just next version and clearly better than Maemo 5, but that will of course really seen with first device releases. Talking about Harmattan/MeeGo.

Depends if Nokia offers it on Ovi Store for free, or only bundles it with new Nokia devices running Meego.
How can you expect people to choose between an available OS and one still in the making?
You should ask the same question in 6-12 months ;)
question is, will Meego on n900 run apps like picodrive,snes, facebrick, fmms etc? or will they have to be remade in Qt?

Yes, too early to decide either way.
If Meego is better some day for my uses, I swich to it. If not, I probably boot time to time either one from the boot menu to test where Meego is going. If most of the programs now available in extras and testing are not somehow able to be ported to Meego, I probably won't like Meego very much.

I am sure they can be run on MeeGo, but those apps might need some tweaks here and there to make them work.. one of them would be the packaging (from deb to rpm)..

N95 with 600-700 euros, 17 million sold and iphone with about 600 euros price does not agree. ;)
Nokia did release in Nokia Capital Market Days 2009 that Maemo/MeeGo will be in the 400 euros price point and above. Symbian have already partly lost it's charm and is moving to mid end so i'm happy that Maemo/MeeGo will again be real smartphone OS for Nokia. Symbian will be all about Qt in Symbian^4 so we will be getting apps both ways.
Me personally want Maemo to stay on N900 and could be improved and work much better than any other OS on mobile device. I think it has its uniqueness and style that no other system has. But MeeGo is pushing and we dont have choice but accept it. ( i guess Maemo project will stop). I think MeeGo remind me more of those Android. And its probably coming from Intel. Considering that they are working on some Android devices too if im not mistaking. And Nokia trying make it more user friendly so call. But at the end its ok for me as long as it will works smoothly and bring more options. :rolleyes: All tho i like Maemo!
question is, will Meego on n900 run apps like picodrive,snes, facebrick, fmms etc? or will they have to be remade in Qt?
future is bright future is........
Non-Qt apps can run in MeeGo just like they could in Maemo: by having developers maintaining the libraries these apps depend upon.

Maemo 5 users will have choices. Some of them will prefer to stay with Maemo 5 updates, some of them will prefer to jump to MeeGo updates (probably with different flavors to choose depending on your preferences).
@qgil, just to be clear, does this mean that Nokia has now a final decision to support the "end user" version of Meego on N900?
The first post could be interpreted as the Meego developers version already available right now (without graphical UI), but the second post was more direct. But the wiki page currently states that Nokia hasn't either confirmed or denied Meego official support on N900.... Maybe there was no time to update the wiki, so can you please tell what is the official position from Nokia?
If this is confirmed, I suggest to also publish in the http://maemo.org/news/ section, since it would be a more direct way than through posts on the forum.
Personally I want maemo.
Probably after ~6 months when MeeGo reaches PR 1.2 too I'd be interested in a dual boot.
No beta testing can replace real world customer experience and suggestions. No need to rush MeeGo.
Either way if nokia supports this officially this is indeed a gesture of good faith from them and I'll think trice before I change to another brand.
If not... well I'm unfortunately used to that.
I think it is interesting question.
With current Maemo 5 stage we are as laboratory mouses - we have good mobile device, but with not all functionality - not so good phone functions (phone book, sms, profiles), not good GPS maps, etc.
So, I personally prefer MeeGo - I know that at this moment it is not polished, but has good future and it is worth to invest in it. We will still feel as laboratory mouses for while, but will have faith that soon will get good and up to date OS with excellent functionality.:)
Regards.

I think most of us were aware that Maemo was a platform in development and it would take sometime to be mature/polished. The Meego announcement was changed the scenario since it is clear that's where Nokia and Intel will invest most of their resources on its development.
But let's face it, those who adopted Maemo probably like to be early adopters and thus participate in all the O.S. polishing process. So the same users will probably be tempted to install Meego 1.0 as soon it is launched, specially if it comes with attractive new features and UI, which is what everybody expects.
Either way if nokia supports this officially this is indeed a gesture of good faith from them and I'll think trice before I change to another brand.
Me too!! Meego won't be exclusive from Nokia, so they need to differentiate from competitors. More than a gesture of goof faith, it is a business decision which defines whether old customers will remain loyal to Nokia or not.
what either option do you want? And how change a poll?
Like I said: "either one". A "don't care" selection. Unfortunately polls can't be changed; my comment was an FYI.

If intel can provide me with an OS that provides basic apps such as email, calendar, and media player that do more than the bare minimum that one would expect from such an app I'm in. Also portrait mode. It makes me irrationally furious when I have to put down what I'm doing to send a single-word sms reply when every review I read for the N900 said that portrait support was promised to come "any day now". I feel kind of ripped off and MeeGo has the promise to remedy all this.

Don't jump into conclusions for now, for me at least it is still unclear if the statement was about an actual Nokia support for N900 or could be a "best effort" to let the community support a distribution of Meego. The wiki page about the subject "Meego on N900" has no updates, so I asked @qgil on my previous post on this same thread, but no answer so far:

I'm guessing your following posts were misunderstood a bit and since then have been posted around the forum with the expectation that Meego will come to the N900 as fully productized OS.
The key mistake being putting the "OFFICAL" in it. Which well.. is a bit vague and was interpreted by many in a way at tangent to yours. Nothing wrong with the word, but to many official==productized

The next post does make it sound like Nokia is providing a proper upgrade path for current N900 users, doesn't it? In which case many would expect it to be a proper commercial grade release.

Please remember that MeeGo is about open source os, and product decisions for Nokia will be made by another people / scope.

OT: After the whole "Cleaning up the FUD" thread I'd really appreciate better worded/less ambiguous posts. :)
I for one am not expecting a positive decision by the business guys given Nokia's legacy on that topic. But, I still hate the noise this topic brings/can bring along when things are misunderstood or taken out of context. Ruins T.M.O for me :(
While things might seem a bit confusing, they are actually quite clear as soon as you understand what is MeeGo, what is Nokia and what is what you are looking for.
MeeGo is an independent project from The Linux Foundation that releases an open source operating system supporting different hardware platforms, being the N900 one of them.
Nokia is a commercial company that participates in the development of MeeGo and is working on products and releases based on this operating system. It hasn't announced any plans to offer a MeeGo based update for the N900.
If you are looking for updates of proprietary software like Ovi Maps or Adobe Flash then the MeeGo project alone is of little help and you need to look for the owners of that software.
Therefore, the use of "official" is correct both in Harri's and my communication. We both work at the MeeGo Devices team at Nokia, on top of the real stuff happening. We avoid rumours and we stay on facts and public information, even if at the expense of not explaining all the things you wish to read.
About the other recent comments, if you have generic questions about MeeGo please consider checking and asking at http://forum.meego.com . Here we can keep focusing on Nokia devices & support.

No news on Nokia supporting MeeGo / Harmattan officially for the N900. That is a business decision and no Nokia business representative has given any news recently.
There is progress on the technical side: [MeeGo-dev] Brief status of "MeeGo to N900" project (http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2010-April/001792.html)
Thanks for clarifying this, qgil.
The fact that this project "Meego on N900" is running by a dedicated team on Nokia is great news, thus it is no surprise that would lead the most optimistic users to believe N900 will be officially supported (at least the chances got better in my opnion). I do understand that business decisions sometimes can not be disclosed, even if there is a decision already.
I think the best way for keep this project running is to answer the official survey about N900. You mentioned several times that maemo.org was not the proper customer channel for complains, so now we have a unique opportunity. I hope the results of this survey will reach the Nokia executive guys who have indeed the power to make the final decision about supporting Meego officially.

MeeGo will be released officially for the N900, since the N900 is the reference ARM hardware of the MeeGo project. See http://wiki.maemo.org/What_can_we_realistically_expect#The_MeeGo_project _has_announced_support_for_the_N900.__What_does_it _really_mean_for_my_N900_.3F and related questions in that wiki page.
Tens toda a razão,a Nokia não pode abrir muito a boca relativamente ao progresso do OS para a concorrencia...! Mas tambem espero que não deixe mal os fãs do grandioso N900!!!

Haha like you could go to anything else after the N900. I laugh at thee!
No seriously, if you've had the N900 experience, there's just no going to anything else. Everything else is backwards. Not Android 2.2, 3.0 or WinMo7... nothing will do the trick!

Lets remember that MeeGo and handset UI is not Harmattan/MeeGo or even what ever Nokia do afterwards, we will not have Ovi on MeeGo for N900. Ovi services and Nokia support, though obviously currently limited, will only be available to N900 users that stick with Maemo 5. Not to mention the UX is multitouch driven, and from what I've experienced with it is extremely flakey because of this. So, the future of the N900 is a split path, and something you alone will be able to decide for yourself, though because of multi-booting, we can get the best of both worlds. :)

As much as I can't wait to get going with Meego, I think I'll wait for the finished product in October. As an end user and not a developer, I can't see the point of installing an OS that's still very much in development
