This is no analyst speculation. Any hope after that is just wishful thinking.
Isn't faith always like that?
A video of (it's unlikely I'd be present) Elop, with the Nokia board of directors standing behind him, announcing to the public the total abandoment of linux would maybe create doubt.
Stephen Elop stills own quite a lot of Littlesoft share.
Stephne Elop Do not Know anything about mobile computer market, as he is proving every day.
Stephen Elop is killing Nokia, choking it on the behalf of littlesoft and US gov.
Stephen Elop is a lier. He saw the n9 and n950 one year before us and decided to terminate it because they were much better tha any WP7. Why you are not selling the n950? GET RID OF THE N8 or E7 CRAP. They are a shame for Nokia irself. You're not doing it? Because you are a damn FRAUD!
WHAT THE HELL NOKIA BOARD IS DOING? FIRE THIS FAT STUPID TROJAN HORSE AND REJOICE WITH MEEGO.
And about this stupid word, ecosystem, which means nothing at all, Mr. Elop DO YOU ****ING KNOWS WHAT QT IS?
DO YOU ****ING KNOWS WHAT ALIEN DALVIK IS?
No. You only know what the other fatso Bellamar tells you to. Mindless slave
It's not totally different article. If you compared them, you'd find that HS used a lot of the comments from REUTERS, if not the analysts' name, from the article I linked.
I'm reading the HS international version, and corresponding Singapore news which they sourced from, and I don't see the exact wording from Elop or Nokia that implies N9 is the first and last MeeGo Phone. Rather, one analyst from REUTERS did say that, and I'm not sure if the author in HS has made use of this.
So straightly speaking, HS just remits someone else's analysis. If this is pure speculation, it'd not be HS' fault. That's win-win.
Having said that, I'd have no problem if Elop really admitted it.
Yes it is a totally different article. That article on HS international edition is from yesterday. This is a Elop interview from today. This article doesn't even have translation at the HS international site yet.

As I said in earlier message:
After thinking it through, what Elop meant might be that WP7 will continue as a Nokia's main platform, even if MeeGo succeeds better than expected.
"Nokia won't return to Meego (as a main platform)" != "N9 is the last Nokia Meego -device"
It seems that the Finnish media corrupted the article in Helsingin Sanomat. But I must admit that the article is quite unclear.
I think that the title should be changed until we know better.
So straightly speaking, HS just remits someone else's analysis.
There will be more meego phones. The force is strong with meego, I can feel it. Sith lord elop shall not prevail.
No seriously, I think there are smoking heads at nokia hq right now, how exactly to solve this dilemma. They cannot praise meego too much, because wp7 needs nokias support more than ever. At the same time people there are probably proud of what they see.
