Please wait with speculation about a no-keyboard-device (where these rumors come from??) until after the MeeGo Conference..

It was not always planned to be a dev device and was pulled last minute but now Nokia brings it back from the dead for devs at least.

Sorry about that. I got so excited, and then when people start saying there are two different devices, I get a little panicky. I'll just hold my breath for the announcement. Starting... now!

That may be, but it doesn't mean that all parts of the video were made very recently. As small details show.

Its purely speculation, no one knows on here (or is letting on) why are people getting their knickers in a twist! The likelyhood is the developers phones and the publicly released phones are almost exactly the same, why would 2 entirely different versions be released when Elop himself announced 1 will be released.

yep that's the only confusing part but all will become clear in next few weeks I hope until then I'm quitting talking I give myself head ache.

It's unlikely I'll buy both. For the n900, Quim/Nokia gave us a month to decide whether or not to use the Developer Discount Program. I bought from the DDP on the last day. I'm patient, so hopefully I'll again qualify for a discount, while at the same time have two devices to choose from.

Bring it on!
