It is not said in http://www.hs.fi/talous/artikkeli/St.../1135267134292

I don't read the paper version. But Eflop tries to destroy Meego and make WP7 success. I hope that he will be fired as soon as possible.

Heh, there's a related article titled "N9 phone not expected to be a hit product" where an analyst says
- Jos tästä N9-puhelimesta tulisi menestys, Nokian pitäisi harkita uudelleen toimitusjohtaja- ja strategiavalintaansa ja ottaa ehkä puhelu Anssi Vanjoen suuntaan, että tulisiko hän takaisin, naurahtaa Rautanen.
Translation:
If this N9 phone becomes a success, Nokia should reconsider their ceo and strategy choices, and perhaps make a phonecall to Anssi Vanjoki, if he might come back, says Rantanan [some analyst] jokingly.

Unfortunately, Harmattan is owned by MeeGo so other MeeGo phones may not be as nice as the N9's GUI... Maybe they can take the Cordia project and use that instead! I'll be happy...

That's exactly right! Elop doesn't own Nokia and he has a Board of Directors to report to.

As someone else just said, it does appear that Elop maybe trying to sabotage the Nokia-MeeGo effort and bolster the MS-Nokia alliance. It wouldn't surprise me if he was, as these 'corporate' types can and do play dirty to promote their agendas.

Also, considering the amount of money that's involved in the Nokia-MS deal, and I'm sure that Elop was one of the chief negotiators, he's got to make himself look as if he can deliver. What better way to do that then effectively kill Nokia-MeeGo?

Sweet dreams are made of these.

I always said that Vanjoki should have been CEO, and some US guy (maybe even Elop) should have been his right hand, go-to man to get stuff done.

I need a full browser multitasking , adblock, noscript, and nospy.

Waste of consumer investment and resources is happening due to people buying stuff they don't need then rely on ecoshops full of apps to download enhanced entertainment value for their untill they are relieved out of their boredom with a next quarterly iteration of their "favourite platform" .

Elop seems incompetent to lead Nokia to a well deserved victory. If any , it will be a bought one. I fear it will be rather a bought downfall though.
But let's see. Maybe he is a visionary and testing a new strategy
Soon after N8 release Elop has announced the dead of Symbian and the putting on hold of Meego as primary platform.
Now we have 10 more Symbians coming and support till 2016.
What is next , 5 x Harmattan from here till 2013 with support till 2017?

I can't really compute that. Doesn't his bargaining position become helluva lot weaker, if he rules out Meego in an interview even before it gets released?

He should do just the opposite, if he wanted to have advantage with Microsoft negotiations. Hint that Meego isn't dead and that Nokia could very well release more models.

This is the best reason to buy this phone - it does what you need on release.

That being said - you will need to try it first to check that the are those plugins availab.e
