The choices in the poll are only for some inspiration... I agree they are not cachy ... but this is the question, what name would you propose?

I've already coined the term "maemofonino" in Italian... - so maemophone is my choice!

I think a big factor in it is how maemo is actually pronounced.

See the link in my sig? That's more for show than anything, I still don't have a clear understanding of how it's said.

maemo - IMHO I was always under impression it is pronounced as in Latin, so "memo" or with English spelling "m-eh-m-oh". Am I wrong?

mah as the beginning of my

mo as in Monica, but only pronouncing the M and the O.
Personally, I still say "May-Moe", even tho I know it's wrong.

Id rather not have a name or anything for that matter plastered on my device...thats the only thing I dont like about the appearance of the new device, is that little tab that says nokia in the upper left.

"Wait! I'll just go and get maPhone" or "You can use maPhone" or "I have maPhone here, let us see what the internet says"

maPhone FTW!
